Chapter 256: For the new life (2)

“Go guide them.”

“Yes, sir!”

Ron jumped out as Vetra spoke again.

-Please follow my soldier who just walked out. We’ll have to move quickly. The place will be overrun with monsters gain, so we have no time to waste.

Ron came out from the bunker and raised his both hands up into the sky as the people pointed their guns at him.

“Oh, hello! I’m Ron!”

“Wh- an elf?”

“Whoa!”

Some of the people shouted a familiar word. Ron knew what the word ‘elf’ meant.

‘Well, we do have similarities,’ Ron thought as Lee Chulmin approached.

“Where are you taking us?” Chulmin asked.

Ron answered quickly.

“You will be escorted to a defense point that we prepared on this Khalodian Mountain Range. It’s a cave and it’s big enough to hide every one of you. It’s also defended by steel doors. It also has food and other necessities that can keep you alive for at least three months. It’s a good place for you to rest and figure out what to do after. We’ll move now. Oh, and please be on the alert. There are monsters are everywhere.”

“We’ll take care of them.”

Soldiers with guns spoke up from behind Lee Chulmin.

‘Hmm. Do I look weak to them?’

Ron was also a warrior of the Ainos. But it seemed that these people were disappointed by the sight of his bow and arrows.

“We’ll move for now. I’ll explain more when we get there.”

Ron began to move and the people followed. The soldiers looked tense as they walked and Ron smiled.

‘They’ll know when they see it.’

Then, not after a minute of walking, Ron’s hands moved quickly. He fired an arrow into the trees in the distance.

“What?!”

“W-what are you doing?!”

The soldiers shouted as they were caught by surprise, but Ron just smiled.

“What is the meaning of this? Why-…”

Chulmin frowned but then became shocked. A small monster dropped from a tree.

“Monsters!”

“On your guard!”

Ron spoke to them. “There aren’t anymore nearby. I think that one was alone because of its wounds. These monsters kill each other so…”

Everyone nodded but they were still skeptical.

“But what if there’s another one hiding…”

“No, there isn’t. This is our land, and I am a protector of the land. We Ainos are invincible until we use up all our arrows.”

Ron finished speaking and then moved out. People began to follow him. Soldiers and civilians alike were surprised and astonished by Ron’s fighting skills and his keen senses. After they fought many monsters as they walked, none of the soldiers looked down on the ancient bow and arrows anymore.

“This is amazing…”

“How does he know where the monsters are?”

The soldiers spoke in astonishment.

“It’s here!”

They arrived at a giant metal door which blocked the entrance to the cave. Ron approached and worked on some mechanics on the door before he finally opened it. As it was fully opened, they were embraced by a large open space within.

“A l-light! Isn’t that a bulb?”

“That’s a power generator!”

Ron walked in first and started a generator to power the light bulbs.

“B-but how?”

People seemed to be shocked and looked at Ron.

‘Heh, they’re surprised now!’

Ron smiled.

Everyone then moved into the cave with their tanks and trucks. The first cavern was about a hundred feet high and a hundred and fifty feet wide. But there were similar-sized caverns connected to it toward the back.

“Wow, we can stay here for more than just a few months.”

The people had questions and thus turned to Ron.

“You all seem to be curious, but we have enough time and you all are tired and injured. I’ll just introduce and explain the place for now.”

“…Hm. Okay,” Major Chulmin answered.

Ron began to explain.

“First, you should station soldiers in the first cavern. It’s the largest place so tanks and armored vehicles can be stored there to be used at any time. There are resting areas at the walls where soldiers can take a break. There are water fountains and restrooms installed there too. And if you go in further, there’s a second cavern where we have facilities to house civilians in there. We can house at least three hundred people in the second cavern.”

“We have seven hundred and seven people. A three-hundred person limit is…”

Chulmin spoke as Ron turned to the people disembarking from the trucks and buses. However, Ron didn’t seem to be concerned.
