37 Surprise attack

Surprise attack

The ogres were looking where there the kid was standing earlier. There were no visible movements hence they kept wondering where did the player disappear? Jake did not make sliver of disturbance and reached near the window. The big heads were sneaking through. 

The time he took in reaching, the ogres got lazy thinking to check the other windows and the door. Only two were left at the face of the window. Jake took deep breath. He was ready to suddenly show up and fire bullets directly in the empty heads of the ogres. 

Jake rose up and stood in front of the window firing. The bullets pierced through two heads. There was less time to decide whether to jump inside the cottage or wait outside. Jumping inside might bring trouble for maintaining the controls since only left hand was operating perfectly. 

At this moment Jake was feeling helpless player, someone similar of standing in the middle of the enemies yet unable to use weapon because of the cool down. His right hand was unable to lend any help because of the broken bones. Jake wanted to throw all grenades and let destroy everything along with him. 

In the end he decided to remain outside of the cottage and wait. This was wise decision for the sake of future levels. He was not some impatient little kid, his circumstances let him learn like the adult people hence his decisions reflected his patience, mental power and control. 

He ran toward the door after taking a look through the broken window. Two of the vulgar looking creatures were killed just now, two of them were heading toward the door to take a look outside. It seemed they did not hear the noise of the bullets or they were deaf to hear anything. 

Jake wanted to stand in front of the door to welcome them home. Two ogres walked toward the door, they pulled open the door and the door could not digest this humiliation. It fell on their feet broken. Meanwhile Jake was ready; his pointed gun did not let them use the blades for attack. 

The bullets made hole in the middle of the head and they fell dead. Jake got satisfied that four out of nine creatures were dead now. He did not stop there to waste single moment instead ran toward the next window. The area surrounding the cottage was not bigger and the windows were not at much distance. 

It was also necessary to keep look out at the creatures because they could also use some of the smartness when it was needed most. When he was heading toward the next window, one of the creatures caught his sight and followed behind silently like spy. 

From the corner of the wall it sneaked for ambush. The warning of the system popped up however Jake could not read it because something banged on the wall at his back. Jake hurriedly moved to see what happened. Ahram was drilling and destroying the cottage under his precision when he noticed that the little kid was under danger. 

Since the team head was very lenient with the kid also the kid was important part of their team for perfect collaboration, Ahram did not think twice to kill the creature that was ready to attack him from behind. It took toil to throw the tool at the distance of fifteen feet however it did not go to waste fortunately. 

Ahram was Miner by profession however until now this drilling tool did not render any help. He was thinking to choose the special weapons of the same profession once reached second level. Earlier he was not much happy to get this profession but now he was ready to explore it in a different way. 

Jake saw the creature pasted on the wall and slowly dripping down, it was not the venerable spectacle to see nonetheless he admired the sincere effort of the team member. "I owe you my friend." Jake sounded loud showing thumbs up sign. 

Ahram held his shovel and laughed, "We are meant to help each other, this is for the sake of level up." He winked and get back to his weird way of killing creatures with the shovel and the scythe. 

Jake nodded. Indeed he was betting everything for the sake of level two and onward journey for a reason. However he was interested to know why Ahram was so quiet among the team. Almost everyone gave suggestions, spoke blunt some time and create ruckus for mass killing. 

Ahram was doing extreme level of collaboration despite his unfamiliar profession however he did not speak like others. Jake was also same. He did not speak like other instead focused what was necessary to do, saving life, killing enemies, solving the riddles of the game, and listening the instructions of the system. 

Jake thought to talk to this team member once he cross this level successfully. Most of the team members were sincere toward the game portal and the levels. They might have different reasons for doing this and Jake wanted to know whether they also faced some criminal ignorance of the organizers. 

He was near the second window but could not attack because the creatures were alert. After staying there for some moments, Jake decided to enter through the door path. No one was around the door seeing the two dead bodies. They moved to follow behind or actively kill the player. 

The remaining four creatures were agitated they were worried whether to glance through window or stand at the door. Jake thought to make use of this opportunity by hiding behind the broken door. He stood at the side of the entrance and sneaked inside just like the creatures did before. 

One of them was standing near the second window waiting. Jake was standing there earlier. It means the creature had seen him there and wanted to attack fortunately Jake decided otherwise. The distance was twenty feet and the attack range was thirty feet, it means the bullet could kill the creature under the range.
