7 Loot the corpse

His smartwatch turned on and lightened the place where they were.

Jin looked at the screen and saw the letters appearing on it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONGRATULATIONS.

+1 Point for the first kill on the event.

+1 Point for the kill.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

' So many points.' Jin thought, but he didn't show any expression on his face. He quickly turned his watch off.

" Oh, right! We didn't introduce ourselves to each other properly! I am Jin Takumu. Nice to meet you, and sorry for my rude behavior before." Jin reached his hand to handshake Yasumi.

Yasumi gladly accepted." No problem, I can understand. I am Yasumi Shihi, nice to meet you too."

' Hum? I could see him only from a distance before, but when I take a closer look now, he is pretty handsome. I wonder what his relationship is with Suzuki." Jin thought.

Yasumi was indeed handsome. He had short dark hair, and his eyes were brown as chocolate. He was wearing glasses that seemed to be bigger than what he needed. As a result, they slipped, and he had to push them back constantly. He had a good shape of muscles, but they were far from good as Jin's.

" Oh right. Let me introduce you to the girls. This is Sawa Haruko." Yasumi said while pointing at her." Sometimes she might be annoying, but she is actually very kind-hearted."

" Watch your mouth. Who are you calling annoying!" Sawa warned him.

Sawa was also beautiful but in her own way. Her red hair was so short, barely covering her ears. She had brown eyes.

In the uniform that everyone was wearing, one could hardly tell that she was a woman.

" Haha! Yes, yes. The next one is Shimizu Kamie. She is the most beautiful woman in the world, my girlfriend and also my future wife!"

Shimizu was a pretty woman, at most in her early thirties. She had black hair braided into a beautiful long braid matching her emerald green eyes. Her white skin and gorgeous body can make any man fall in love at first sight.

" Yasumi, shut up!" Shimizu's face turned red.

" Hahaha!" Jin smiled kindly.

" Now, I hope everyone learned their lesson. This is not a place where you can play or go around and show your kindness." Jin's kind voice before turned completely cold.

" Yes, we learned our lesson," Suzuki said.

" Alright, let's move from here."

The moment they started moving after five steps, Jin said.

" Oh, yeah. I almost forgot! Suzuki, go loot the corpse of that man." It is not that he has forgotten. " He simply does not have use of the items from the body. He had everything. Also, his backpack was almost filled.

"M...me? No, I can't!"

" Yes, you can!" Jin said in a cold voice.

" P...Please! I don't want to!" She fell on her knees and covered her face with her hands to not let anyone see her face in tears.

" I do not ask you do you want!

You must do it! It does not matter do you want to or not. Do you understand?"

" Jin, let me do it instead of her!" Yasumi said while looking at Suzuki with pity.

" No! She will do it!"

" Why? Why do I have to do it? Is it because you hate me?" Suzuki was speaking in tears.

" Listen well for what am I to say, and choose. If today we have enough food, that does not mean that we will have tomorrow. Tomorrow we may be forced to eat human flesh to survive! Now I am asking you. Will you eat human flesh tomorrow, or will you take these cans of food in front of you to eat tomorrow?"

" I will take the cans of food that are in front of me!" Suzuki stood and rushed towards the corpse. She quickly grabbed the rucksack that was next to the corpse and returned to Jin." I did it!" She said.

" Yasumi take the rucksack." Jin saw that Suzuki's legs were shaking too much, and she was barely able to stand. Jin then lowered his body in front of her and said." Come on, jump on my back. I will carry you."

"N...No. It is alright. I can walk alone."

" Don't be stubborn. We lost much time here, so jump quickly. We need to move from here."

Suzuki felt embarrassed, and her cheeks flushed, but she still let Jin carry her.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although Jin was carrying his rucksack and Suzuki's and was also carrying Suzuki on his back, he was moving fastest.

After a few hours, they were all tired, hungry, and thirsty.

" Let's rest here," Jin said and stopped in front of one corner.

" Why here?" Yasumi asked.

" It is easier to ambush enemies and easier to run from them."

" I see. If someone attacks us from behind, we can hide behind the corner. If someone is coming from the front, we can hide behind the corner and make an ambush. Am I right?"

" Yes. But there is one more reason why I chose this place."

" And that is?" Sawa asked curiously.

"Listen." Jin's tone became serious." I can kill the red team members, but I can not touch the blue team members. Do you understand what that means?"

" It means that we must kill them." Yasumi seemed pretty interested in what Jin was speaking.

' Does he want to protect himself, his lover, or something else?' Jin thought.

" Remember, to never hesitate or doubt yourself is the most important thing. When we first met, if Suzuki did not stop me, you would be dead till now. But even now, I do not regret it because I was doing everything to survive, and I will continue doing that."

Everyone was silently sitting in the darkness and did not know what to say.

Then Jin spoke again.

" Alright, now let me teach you how to place an exploding grenade trap. We will put them one hundred meters in front of us and behind us. You must learn how to make and use those traps because they will be your key weapon to survive."
