523 Chapter 523

I couldn't really blame Christian for not wanting to stumble around in the dark, especially since he probably didn't know for sure that what he was hearing were actually people and not something else. I thought about the creatures. Now might be a good time to bring them up. Or maybe not, since he was so agitated. "Do you think they're people? Not something else? Are we talking a few or a couple dozen?"

"I don't know!" Yep, he was angry.

I should've let it go but I needed an estimate. "Could you make a reasonable guess?"

"If I had to, I'd say a hundred. Maybe more."

I wasn't expecting that. My mouth fell open. That was a lot of people. This situation just kept getting weirder. "Okay."

"All right. Talk to you later."

"Yeah." It seemed odd that he didn't want to talk to me to the point that he'd push the only person who could reach him away, but I was ready to get out. Hostile Christian is even worse than normal Christian.
