"Looks like I'm in big trouble!"
Kieran said, trying to sound casual.
His words sounded like he was testing Kieran.
Kieran's experience as a teenager had made him develop the habit of not trusting anyone completely.
Especially when it came to life and death.
"It's not you who's in big trouble, it's us! There were a lot of bastards there last night! They must have gone to report to the Vulture in order to lick their boots! After knowing that two of his subordinates were killed by us, the Vulture will definitely send all his subordinates to look for us from tonight onwards! Only by killing us can that bitch maintain his reputation! "
Colleen said through clenched teeth.
"My food can last me two days at most. What about yours?"
Colleen looked up at Kieran.
"About the same as you!"
Kieran opened his backpack, allowing Colleen to see the remaining two cans of food.
Colleen did not hide anything from Kieran. She quickly walked to a corner of the storage room and took out a can and a pack of biscuits.
"Even if I eat sparingly, it will only last me one or two days!"
Colleen frowned as she looked at the food in her hand.
She did not want to do this.
She didn't want to starve or die here. She didn't want to die either way.
"How many people can you take on at once?"
Colleen asked seriously as she looked at Kieran.
"If the opponent is unarmed or not armed with a gun … two to three people!"
Kieran replied in a serious tone as he understood what Colleen was trying to do.
Although he had killed two armed thugs yesterday, Kieran knew that luck had played a big part in it.
If it had not been for Colleen's help, he would have been a dead man by now.
On top of that, Kieran remembered the limitations of his [Stamina].
Once his [Stamina] reached its limit, he would not be able to fight. He would be slaughtered.
"Do we have to face them directly?"
Kieran suggested to Colleen as he thought about his own characteristics and limitations.
"What do you mean? Are you planning to ambush me? "
Colleen was stunned for a moment, but she reacted quickly.
"Yeah, they have a lot of people, and they have guns. We only have two people. If we fight them head-on, we have no chance of winning! A sneak attack is the best choice! "
Kieran nodded, then turned to Colleen and said, "Didn't you say that they were active around Sixth Avenue? I'm sure they don't know the geography of this place as well as you do. Moreover, if they want to find us, they will have to split up. Even if they have a lot of people, there shouldn't be many of them if they split up! "
"Colleen, don't tell me there are hundreds of them!"
In the end, Kieran said in a relaxed tone.
"A few hundred? How could this be? This is not the army! The Vulture only had about 20 men under him! If there really were a few hundred of them, with that guy's arrogance, he would have attacked the rebel army camp long ago! "
Colleen seemed to be affected by Kieran's lightheartedness, so she also cracked a joke.
But soon, Colleen's smile disappeared.
She looked at Kieran and said, "The Vulture's men are not familiar with this place. Kieran, you are from another district, and you are not familiar with this place either!"
Kieran did not try to hide it. He shrugged and admitted it.
"Besides, you are good with a dagger, but are you sure you can ambush me when I find you?"
Colleen continued.
Her eyes were full of judgment, and Kieran was a little surprised.
Kieran knew that Colleen was talking about last night, when he had stepped on a broken piece of wood while facing the two of them.
"That was an accident! I promise it won't happen again! Besides, we don't have a choice. I don't want to hide here until I starve to death, or until the Vulture's men find me! "
Kieran explained, trying his best to convince Colleen.
He did not want any accidents to happen to his plan.
Against the Vulture's men, Kieran did not mind fighting.
If it had been a normal thug or survivor, Kieran would have chosen to avoid them because he was not sure if they had anything valuable on them.
But the Vulture's men were different.
Just by looking at the guns at his waist, he knew that the thugs were bound to drop equipment.
Even though he did not know the value of these guns in the game, it did not stop Kieran from collecting as many as he could. After all, he was in this game for money.
In other words, as long as he could get enough loot, Kieran was willing to take the risk.
Plus, he had already provoked the Vulture's men yesterday, and he still had six more days to clear the game.
Rather than living in fear for the next six days, he might as well take the initiative and solve the problem.
Kieran was definitely not a cowardly person who would accept things passively.
After three years of living with the genetic virus, Kieran's will had not only been tempered, but his personality had also improved. His mind was much more mature than his peers.
He knew that some things could not be solved by running away.
Rather than waiting for the last moment, it was better to take the risk.
It was as if he had chosen to enter the game without any protection.
It was the same for the Vulture's men.
Of course, if he could, Kieran would not mind giving himself more confidence.
In reality, there was too little information about the game. He had tried his best, but he could not find any useful information that could help him.
However, it was different when he was facing the Vulture and his men.
From Colleen's tone, Kieran could guess that she was familiar with the Vulture's men. She might have even crossed paths with them before, and she had been tricked by them.
Otherwise, she would not be so angry.
On top of that, she was very familiar with the surroundings. She would be a great helper.
Kieran did not want to give up on her.
"Of course, I don't want to hide here until I starve to death or the Vulture's men find me. I agree with your plan, but I think it needs to be more complete! "
Colleen said.
"How?"
Kieran asked.
"Like I said yesterday, I'm good at dodging. I think I should teach you a few tricks so you have more options when you face them. Too bad I'm not good with guns! "
Colleen said, shaking her head in regret.
Without a strong body and skills, most people would choose to use a gun.
When a person who had been learning martial arts for ten years was up against someone who had only learned to use a gun for three months, as long as the latter was smart enough, the former would lose.
"Are you willing to learn dodging from me?"
Colleen asked.
[Colleen would like to teach you dodging, yes/no?]
At the same time, a notification popped up.
"Skill teaching? Newbie skill teacher? Or did you meet the requirements for hiding your favorability? "
Kieran's heart skipped a beat. All sorts of guesses started popping up in his head.
However, he replied directly.
"I'd love to!"
Kieran had only one skill, but it was enough to turn him upside down. He was eager to learn more skills. As a former leveler, Kieran knew very well that without a specific level, attributes and skills were the standard to measure a person's strength.
Both of them complemented each other.
What happened next confirmed Kieran's suspicions.
After Kieran's confirmation, Colleen started to explain the dodging technique and demonstrated it herself. When the demonstration was over, the system notification popped up.
[Agility reached F, Dodging requirement met …]
[Learned Skill: Dodging]
[Name: Dodging (Basic)]
[Related Attributes: Agility]
[Skill Type: Ancillary]
[Effects: You know how to dodge in battle, Increases Dodging rate by 10%]
[Consumes: Stamina]
[Prerequisites: Agility F]
[Remarks: You can use sidesteps, rolls and other techniques to dodge your opponent's attacks!]
"As expected, attributes and skills complemented each other!"
After comparing the system notification with his current two skills, Kieran came to a conclusion.
Moreover, Kieran also had a hunch that if his skills were upgraded, his attributes would also be upgraded.
However, there was not enough information, so Kieran could not be completely sure.
"How is it? Have you mastered it? "
Colleen, who had just finished her demonstration, looked at the stunned Kieran and could not help but remind him. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
It was obvious that she was not happy that Kieran had been distracted during her demonstration.
"I think you've mastered the basics!"
Kieran noticed her dissatisfaction. In order to ensure that his plan would go smoothly, he immediately used practical actions to dispel Colleen's dissatisfaction.
Turning left and right, rolling back and forth, and even doing two consecutive one-handed flips, all of which were easily executed by him.
Colleen's jaw dropped when she saw this.
"You've learned gymnastics before?"
Colleen asked.
Colleen, who used to be a member of the school's gymnastics team, knew that to be able to perform the moves required at least two to three years of training. A beginner might not even be able to do a back and forth roll, let alone continuous one-handed flips.
"No, but because I like martial arts, my body is quite agile."
Kieran gave an answer that could explain the past.
Although the underground game did not restrict Kieran from keeping his identity as a 'player' a secret, it was almost like a real game. Kieran would have to be out of his mind to say such things that people would think he was crazy.
"I see!"
Colleen seemed to accept the answer.
Kieran, on the other hand, was distracted again.
He looked at his attribute window, at the [Stamina] position.
