Center of the Island.
The cave was eerily quiet.
The only sound was the cracking sound of the campfire.
The forest was quiet as ever— the only sound that came was from the owls and few wolves howling. But that made the scenery much more terrifying because it sounded like the noises came right next to them!
Maria and others were sleeping carelessly, without any care in the world.
Rick was acting sleeping, but he was closest to the cave entrance, which made him extremely fearful.
Ichiro was sitting crosslegged— he was holding his sword in his right hand and looking at the entrance of the cave.
He narrowed his eyes. He felt like the Mutated Beasts out of the cave were mocking him.
If he was alone, he wouldn't mind going outside to start his slaughter.
But that's what the Mutated Beasts want.
If he left, Rick and others would be free for taking— it was like a buffet waiting for them.
