103 Intuition (1/2)

It's official.

I cannot increase my stats by eating abnormals.

Only mutant meat. And perhaps mutant fish.

'Well there's not much I can do about it.' I thought and looked at the town where a large banquet was being hosted in the honor of my brother.

And Jesus, these guys were loud.

'Don't they know that such a large amount of noise will attract even more enemies.' I thought but then came to a halt when I saw a number of people going around the walls systematically and taking out the crystals from all the abnormals.

After taking out the crystals, they went to their leader and handed him the booty which he then only shared with those who had fought harder than everyone else.

'Hmm… The strong become stronger and the weak are just cannon fodder. I can see how this town works now.' I thought and it disgusted me.

The leader knew that such large amount of noise would attract more enemies, but he did it anyway.

More enemies meant more fights.

'More fights meant more crystals and cores the only people dying in those battle would be the cannon fodder anyway so why bother.'

As I thought more and more about the way this town worked, my expression turned even more downcast as I felt disgusted with the leader who had acted so friendly toward us just a few moments ago.

'I would not be surprised if he had a harem of unwilling women inside that town either.' Lily said and my expression turned even more darker before it became smooth.

Because in the end of the day, none of that mattered.

People suffered in that town, yes. But so what. Didn't they suffered everywhere else as well.

The weak are devoured and only the strong survive at the end of the day.

And I don't want to empathize with the weak because that only brings pain in the end.

So just care about your family and loved ones and let everyone else handle themselves.

Simple.

'But I don't know where he got so many big walls from.' I said 'I know for sure that such things can't be created by humans. I mean it can be done but who would waste so much metal in creating giant walls. So I can deduce that those walls are not something created by humans.'

'And the machine guns equipped at every point in the walls are a mystery as well. They are not like any other machine guns I've ever seen. And even if they were, it doesn't explain where he got so many of them.'

'So after looking at the town in such a rational manner, I can only deduce that this town was made with the help of the black watch.' I said 'Care to enlighten me about that Lily?'

'Sorry Ashok. This question is classified under 'Secret' information. You doesn't have the conditions required to get access to the information.' She said and I let out a chuckle at her words.

'Wow! Haven't heard that in a while.' I said.

'Well… you stopped asking the big questions a while ago.' She said with a chuckle 'That makes sense because people stop caring about the existence of abnormals if they can't get a bit food on the table.'

'Hn… You are right in that regard. And even if you don't tell me about this secret, I can already make a few guesses about the existence of these walls and the multiple machine guns.' I said.

'Oh! And what would that be?' she asked curiously.

'That 'leader' guy must have either completed some kind of evolution that must have opened new options for him in the 'Buy' section. Or it must have something to do with the amount of people he is leading. My guess is that the black watch allows people who lead such a large group to buy new things since protecting such a large group is often harder than protecting a small group.' I said 'Am I right.'

'I'm allowed to tell if you're right. But can say that you're not wrong.' She said with a playful smile 'Hey! Why don't you just ask his big bro about this. He might know about all these things you know.'

I snorted at her words and took out the crystal from the 4th tier abnormal's nape.

'I'm not really all that interested anymore. The walls allow someone to protect a large number of people. I don't care about a large number of people. Only two. So my sword is enough for me.' I said and put the 4th tier crystal inside the Black watch.

'Start a auction for this with the minimum about as 10 3rd tier mutant beast corpses.' I said and she nodded in return after which I took out my sword and took a deep breath to calm my emotions.

'That's right. My sword is enough for me.' I said and then started training.
