Chapter 1349 1349. Looking For Kramer
Master was peeved that Jack used the tool for something that he deemed extremely unimportant.
"Has it ever occurred to you that that human native might already die?" Master asked Jack. "Are you going to search for him endlessly? You should know that our time is limited. The world shrinks every day. By the fourth day, the high-rise building where the main node is will already be outside the area we can travel to."
"By the fourth day? That means we still have until tomorrow, right?" Jack said.
Master frowned. Perhaps he should have lied and said that the building will be inaccessible by tomorrow. He knew the exact day because he estimated by comparing the location of the high-rise building and the area the world had shrunk in one day.
"By the way, where is your vehicle?" Jack asked.
When Master didn't answer, Jack said, "You said the rune diagram covers this entire pocket world. With how big it is, you couldn't have gone around the place and depowered all the node points in just one day on foot. You must have a vehicle. Borrow it to me so I can shorten my time finding Kramer. The sooner I find him, the sooner we go deal with your main node."
When Master remained silent, Jack added, "Tell you what. If you lend me your vehicle, I promise we will go to this high-rise building by tomorrow noon whether or not I find Kramer."
Master finally took something out of his pocket. It looked like a small pill case. He opened the case and something jumped out from it. The thing enlarged instantly and turned out to be a motorbike.
"Holy f*ck…! It's a caps*le corporation's tech!!" Jack exclaimed. The others had no idea what he was talking about.
"Boss… You are truly something. Even with my eagle eyes, I still fail to find as many tools as you," Spring Crown remarked.
"I bet once he got one of these equipment-free tools, he used it to activate this thing to help him find more," Jack pointed at his G.o.d-eye monocle. Jack remembered Master's monocle was special compared to the other G.o.d-eye monocles. Perhaps that's why Master had an easier time locating precious items in the game world.
Jack climbed on the bike and started it up. The fuel gauge indicated that it was two-thirds empty.
"Um… Do you have spare fuel?" Jack asked.
It took several seconds before Master took out another magic pill case and a fuel canister came out of it.
"Can I have one of those too?" Jack asked when he picked up the fuel canister. He was indicating the pill case.
Master replied by storing the pill case back in his pocket. Jack chuckled as he tied the fuel canister to the back of the motorbike.
"Are you okay wandering alone?" Grace asked.
"Don't worry," Jack said. "Anything bad happens, I have the equipment-free stones." This caused Master to glare at him.
They then headed to the safe house that Spring Crown had found. Jack followed them first so he knew the location. He then rode the bike away.
He checked his radar. Before he left the group, he noticed the group was represented as a mix of green and red dots on the radar. His team, which consisted of Master, Stefan, and Naomi were green dots. The rest were red dots. The radar identified allies and enemies based on this pocket world's rule.
This made it easier for him to find his missing team. They would be the only ones marked as green dots on his radar.
He drove in a spiral, using the park as a reference point. Going outward as he drove, thus covering more ground.
He continued to pay attention to his radar. He rode the bike at as fast a speed as possible. It was just another three hours before the night arrived. He had to be back at the safe house before then.
He noticed two red dots as he drove. He wondered if those were the first enemy team or the old elf's team. He didn't engage them. He didn't have time for that. His priority was finding Kramer. Fortunately, this bike emitted very little noise, so it didn't attract the two red dots' attention. Jack surmised this was also another reason Master could travel around without getting found out by the enemy teams.
After more than one hour of driving, he finally spotted what he was looking for. Two green dots.
'Should be Kramer, right?' Jack thought. When they split, he saw Kramer flee with Winson while Kerry fled alone.
Jack headed to the two green dots.
The two green dots were hiding inside a partially destroyed building. When Jack drew near, the two green dots bolted in the opposite direction. They must have heard the bike since he was close.
"Kramer! Winson!" Jack shouted.
The two green dots stopped. Not long after, Jack saw Kramer's head pop out of the building.
"Your Majesty…!!" Kramer exclaimed with joy.
Jack was relieved, the teenager was safe.
Winson came out then. "Storm, you are alive!" He called.
"Did you guys see Kerry?" Jack asked.
The two shook their heads. "We haven't seen her since we split up."
Kerry was also a native, so if she died, it would be permanent. Jack felt pity for her, but the night was quickly approaching. He would go and try finding her tomorrow morning.
"Come with me. We have a safe house nearby. We need to get there before dark," Jack told them.
"Before dark. Why?" Winson asked.
"You… You guys didn't see any of the dark creatures last night?" Jack asked.
Kramer and Winson looked at one another with confused expressions. Kramer then said, "Last night we hid in the bas.e.m.e.nt of an abandoned house not far away. We slept through the night. We came out today to see if we could find the others."
Jack thought perhaps they should use this bas.e.m.e.nt as the safe house since it had been proven to be dark-creature-proof, but the others would worry if he didn't return. Grace might even take a risk to come out to find him.
Jack gave them a brief explanation about the dark creatures. He then told them to follow him by running. He could not carry two people with his bike, so he had to adjust to their running speed.
Running was slower but since they were taking a straight path, they should arrive at the safe house before nightfall.
As they were moving, he noticed on his radar two red dots were approaching.
