Military squad.

The family had avoided most of the dangers with the map function and by being cautious, but these wolves, seemed to be difficult to track, and the level 3 map didn't have that much capability.

Perhaps they were one of those rare monsters that because of their situation in the wild, unlocked an ability to camouflage or track.

Akiba thought he could recognize where they were, because even though the world was changing, there were still buildings and areas that were like before, just a little more destroyed.

He turned to his family members and shouted to them:

"Let's go to the police station!!!"

Although they were hurt and had little mana, they were still level 6, so they were able to resist a little.

They ran desperately, trying not to take too much damage, while avoiding attacks and attacking the eyes of the beasts to delay them.

Despite not believing they would all make it to the police station together, Akiba and Emma were prepared to give their lives for Lucia to flee.

But soon, good news arrived for the first time in what seemed like a long time...

A man dressed in a military suit blocked the elite orc with a shield and hit him with his one-handed sword.

At the same time, another man jumped forward as he crouched, flexing his body towards the alpha wolf, while using 2 daggers to plunge them into the monster's neck.

He quickly pulled out his daggers and stepped back, leaving the man with a giant shield to block the raging alpha wolf, which had gone mad with rage and was not following commands from the elite orc, which he threw off his back.

As he fell, the elite orc was once again attacked by the sword of a man with shield and sword, this time with a thrust to his neck.

Meanwhile, a fourth man threw 2 fireballs at the weaker groups of wolves, which fled in haste at seeing the fighting situation.

The man with the sword and shield approached them, after slaying the elite orc and a few more wolves.

"I am Marcus, leader of this military squad "He said, while extending his hand.

***

After talking for a while, each group realized the situation of the other party.

According to them, the military still had certain duties, and had not stopped working for the stability of the country.

The family, now distrustful of people, hesitated a bit about telling the truth, but they had no choice when they learned that the military group wanted to take them to the police station which the military had taken over at the beginning of this crisis in order to protect the area and patrol nearby.

There were still military personnel that from time to time guarded a certain perimeter, and this group was one of them.

These soldiers were surprised to learn the level of the family group.

The family did not explain about the supermarket, but they had to admit that they didn't want to go with them because they had to look for Viktor.

Marcus seemed like a good and understanding man.

He surprised the family by calling the station through the system.

"This is the third squadron speaking."

"We've run into some issues..."

"There are high-level civilians with us...They have an injured member separated from their group."

"They possess the system tracking function, sir."

"So their level is higher than 5."(Answer the man on the other end of the phone).

" I request permission to escort the group."

This surprised the family, scaring Lucia a little, who was now suspicious of this new situation.

But her father calmed her down...He reasoned with her in low whispers explaining that now, accepting help was the best thing to do.

Their group was in bad shape and Viktor even worse. If they wanted to kill them, they would kill them and they probably wouldn't bother to travel that far just for the last member of their team.

The military didn't know how many points Viktor had and didn't have much reason to covet his Scoins.

Of course, it would be best to be cautious, but right now, having them accompany the group was a good option.

"Authorization granted" Marcus heard from his contact list.

Soon the group traveled to the place where Viktor was...

***

"Nmm "It could be heard.

Arriving there, after a long 3 hours, the first thing they saw was a man moaning in pain.

Quickly, the man with the giant shield used a first aid kit on Viktor.

"Sir...His arm..."

"I don't think we'll be able to do anything."

Hearing his subordinate, Marcus looked at the family with regret.

Lucia and her parents immediately paled.

"It can't be...There has to be another option!"Lucia said in despair.

"The necrosis spread too far...Cutting off the arm would kill him in his condition." Marcus mentioned quietly.

"Scoins... "Viktor said in a pleading voice.

"Please..."

"I need 5000."

His family immediately gave him the Scoins they had, but it barely amounted to around 1000 Scoins.

"I...I can give them to you "Marcus whispered, with doubt in his tone.

"May I ask...How will those help you?"

"The system... Has a medical system at level 7, I need to pay for a special function that will slow down the spreading necrosis of my arm." Explained Viktor in a low voice, looking at the group with a tired look.

Marcus looked at him in surprise, learning that this person also had such a level of the system.

"Fine...I'll transfer him."

"Thank you..." Said the moribund Viktor upon seeing this man's genuine kindness.
