Another World Mall-Chapter 560: Begin

Marhan looked at the island once more to confirm both teams were ready. After that, he nodded to his assistant next to him to shoot the flare.

The flash changed the color of the blue sky for a bit, which allowed the two teams to notice.

With no hesitation, each driver stepped on the gas.

"So, where are we going?!" Clovis asked while his hand was busy stopping Hana.

"We are going to this area." Kanaria pointed at the map. It was a spot located not in the center of the island but slightly toward the edge.

"Hoh? You’re not going to take the center? If we are staying in the center, we will be able to go in all directions easily." Hana asked, stopping for a second.

"That’s true, but our camp needs safety instead of mobility. If we look at the map and the elevation, this place has a natural terrain that we can take advantage of to ensure the safety of the camp.

"Besides, by looking at the roads, we know that this road doesn’t have a lot of turns, which will allow us to travel in all directions quickly.

"In addition, looking from the logistic standpoint, it’s clear that we can transport things pretty easily for example, essence or their corpses.

"From the looks of it, this place also has a good natural advantage, such as fruits and vegetation. This will allow us to have a good balance in our diets for the next seven days. And last but not least, this place is not far from a river. Any more questions?" Kanaria crossed her arms with a smug smile.

Hana looked surprised. "You’re good at this. Are you really going to revive a dead city?"

"Mhmm." Kanaria nodded with a serious expression.

"Alright. The destination has been decided. We’ll form our camp first."

"Got it!" Erwin acknowledged the order.

"In that case, I will be providing firepower and additional support. Melody is the team’s support operator, right?"

"Yep. Do you need my help?"

"No. I can do your job, not as good as you, but I can help with the map and other things. With my drones, we can change the way the beasts are moving, so I’ll be providing that information and you will change the way the team fights."

"Oh! Alright then." Melody nodded.

"I think I don’t need to tell you this, but our plan is simple. We’ll kill the island starting from the shore. Do you have any problem with it?" Clovis asked.

"Why the beach? I mean, there are usually fewer beasts around there."

"We will be able to calculate the number of beasts on this island, albeit roughly. This way, I can use a much bolder plan if the number is not too high."

"A plan, huh?"

They couldn’t help but look at each other. Clovis’ plan was usually bold but dangerous. At the same time, he was pretty calculative. The fact he suggested this plan meant he had calculated the risk.

After thinking about it for a while, they nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Luci entered the bus. "You guys… There are a lot of beasts coming. I and Jay won’t be enough to handle all of them."

Clovis nodded. "I will be with you soon."

"Got it." Luci exited again as she and Jay were on guard duty. After Clovis assigned the task to each of them, he joined those two and started picking up the pace.

It only took them three hours to reach the camp, which allowed them to set up everything before lunch.

While everyone was having lunch, Clovis took Reolf to the side so that he could talk to him privately.

"Reolf. Can you not order the beasts around this area?"

Reolf shook his head.

He recalled what Christina said regarding her unique ability, so he reworded his question. "I mean, can you provoke them or something? At least make them move toward us."

Reolf thought for a moment. They wouldn’t acknowledge Reolf was because of his low strength as well as his smell. Since he had been with Clovis and the others, he smelled like a human.

However, what about provoking them? What if he challenged them?

His howl could reach a very vast area. It seemed Clovis wanted to take advantage of it to bring the beasts toward them. He just wanted to see whether the number was too much or not. After all, the hunting competition had just started, so it was better to be careful. Still, if this worked, the situation would go in their favor. In fact, they might be able to steal some beasts from the other side of the island.

Reolf nodded his head. "Waaf!"

"Hahaha. Is that so? Don’t worry. I won’t be reckless. We will only provoke an area at a time. We have Hana now, so we’ll see how well we will fight."

"Waaf!" Reolf showed an agreement.

"Great. I will leave it to you then." Clovis nodded with a serious expression.

Meanwhile, Christina seemed to be planning the same thing.

They first picked a spot to be their camp.

"Miss. What are we going to do now? Should we split up into three groups and start killing the beasts? We have 18 people, so we can split evenly like a normal group."

Christina crossed her arms. "Hmm."

Another person explained, "But we will have a bad reputation if we end up splitting into three groups. In the end, we have a numerical advantage. It’ll be bad if they say we win because we have three groups."

Christina shook her head. "Never mind that. We’ll split into three groups. Clovis should know perfectly that we have the number. If we end up underestimating him because of it, I’m sure he will be angry. So, we’ll proceed with the original plan and kill as many beasts as possible. Once I’ve picked up the spot, I’ll use my unique ability and kill those beasts."

"Understood."

While they made their preparation, Marhan was sitting on the boat while staring at the screen.

Libation Fiesta: 310 points.

Elseingarde: 340 points.

Each group had their respective device that showed the number of their kills, which was converted to points according to their tiers.

Marhan smiled. "The competition is about to begin."
