Chapter 207 - Petty Hazel

"Is a level 2 radiation zone bad?" David asked ignorantly.

"Not that bad, but a normal human would probably be infected after a few seconds of inhaling the radiation." Hazel's reply was still casual, turning David's face quite green and he immediately yelled.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Goddammit! I need to get the hell out of here." David instantly started sprinting from the direction he came from previously.

"No need for that, a Spryher wouldn't get infected quickly." Hazel tried to console him but David wasn't fooled and his speed increased even more but he still asked.

"How long would a Spryher last?"

Hazel kept quiet for a moment before muttering in a low voice "O-ne minute."

"My god!!!" "Second Star!" David's speed instantly doubled and he moved like the wind.

"Don't be so anxious, you have more than three times the physique of a strong Spryher. You could last at least 30 minutes in the zone without the risk of getting infected with radiation." Hazel tried to comfort him.

And again, David wasn't fooled "And how did you know I would last for about 30 minutes?"

Hazel remained quiet again before saying softly "I guessed. But it should be correct."

"You guessed! You know, at this rate you will definitely be the death of me!"

"Sigh, Since I feel a little bad right now, let me just remind you." Hazel sighed softly. She had been a bit negligent and if David hadn't asked, reminding her. There might be a 10% chance of David getting a slight infection from the radiation. And although it wasn't that bad.

But to kill off most of the radiation, he would need to go through some sort of an intense baptism back at the institute to purify his polluted body. Which at all want nice to experience.

"Remind me about what?" David asked with a grumbling voice.

"The Combat Suit."

"Just put on the Combat Suit and you will be alright." Hazel finally said.

David instantly paused in his tracks and his eyes narrowed into a slit. "So, you weren't going to tell me earlier?"

Hazel refused to answer that question.

"How did you even become like this?" David stated, a slight disbelief expression on his face.

Abruptly, he slammed his palm against a tree. A Soaring Threadserpent was instantly reduced to mush.

"You evolved from my character which means we should be of almost the same mind. But how come you are way more petty than I am?"

"Is it because you are female?" David asked a but puzzled.

"And are you discriminating against females?"

"What? No! Hey young lady, don't change the topic!" David was angry as he waved his fist to the air.

"You seem to think females are way more petty than males? Isn't that what you just said?" Hazel retorted.

David's faced turned red and he struggled to calm his breathing down. Just once, once! He wanted to grab Hazel and violently shake that head of hers off.

He didn't bother saying anything and grabbed his backpack from his back.

Taking out the helmet and the ugly looking Combat suit that was filled with multiple holes.

After putting them on, David resumed retreating the area. There would barely be any student in the radiation zone, so David didn't remain there any longer.

Isaac and Edmonton has just killed a mid level black haze beast with their combined effort. They were able to take down the neat after a long 30 minutes fight of wearing the Horned lizard down and 10 minutes of successfully killing the beast.

Isaac panted and was about to lay against a tree when Edmonton spoke. "Don't rest yet. There might be other people or beast attracted by the smell of blood and the sound of battle. Let's get out of here first." The crew shaved Edmonton warned.

Isaac's eyebrow's furrowed slightly as he realised Edmonton was right. Glancing at the bushes around them. "You are right, lets get out of here, before we decide if we should give Phyllida the kill points." Isaac agreed. And he was quite smart.

If someone had truly been there, upon hearing them casually mention giving Phyllida the kill points, the person would definitely hesitate to strike as that was the name of one of the bosses who owned a safe zone all to her self.

At the top of a huge tree, David was quite hesitant. He had removed the Combat Suit long ago since he was no longer in that zone. And no, he wasn't hesitating about the fact that they mentioned Phyllida, he hesitated because their kill points were just too little to satisfy the gap in his tooth.

But suddenly, he seem to have thought of something and he jumped down from the tree.

"Wait!" David hurriedly called out to the two guys who were just about to leave.

Isaac and Edmonton instantly got cautious and they were battle ready in second.

"What do you want?" Edmonton asked cautiously.

With a raised eyebrows David asked softly "I hear you mention Phyllida is that right?"

After a few seconds of hesitation, both Isaac and Edmonton nodded their heads in agreement.

"What about it?" Isaac courageously asked.

"Don't you try to do anything here, we are very close to the safe zone." Edmonton warned.

Raising his hands in a harmless sign. "I'm not here to hurt you guys, I just wanted to ask, how do I meet with Phyllida?"

The two boys relaxed a bit when they heard his words. "So it's another brother who wish to get on Phyllida's good grace." Isaac broadly smiled naively and his guarded look immediately faded away.

Walking towards David, he placed his arm around David's shoulders and patted his other shoulder with it.

Edmonton had also replaced his cautious look with a bit of a smile.

Stunned, David couldn't comprehend the situation and he asked hesitantly. "I want to get on her good side?"

Patting David's back forcefully, Isaac found it to be quite tough but he still responded casually. "Isn't that why you want to give her your kill points?"

Not waiting for David to reply, Isaac tried to drag David as he said "Come on, Since you forgot to save the previous route you took out of the safe zone, we will take you there a we are going there anyways."

Isaac stated and then he tried to move David's body with his arm around his shoulder but he found out David wouldn't budge at all.. He remained as still as a pole.
