Chapter 36 - Broken City 4

"Can you tell me why you're following me?" Yssa BB inquires

"They kicked me out of the group because I know you," Cola responded.

"Do they have an issue with the De Forge clan?" Yssa BB inquires

"Yes," Cola said.

"All right, then follow me." Yssa BB Yssa BB Yssa BB

[Yssa de Forge invites you to join her in forming a group]

[Do you accept it or reject it?]

"Sure, thank you," Cola said.

He was thankful for the group; he would be at a disadvantage if he were alone due to the nature of his system knowledge.

Cola is a Versatile Mechanic System.

Versatile Mechanic is an excellent combination of combat and mechanic knowledge.

The only problem for Cola is his system knowledge level is low.

He was only activated last month, and his skills are basic.

He requires time to mature. His understanding of the system is a slow build.

However, he attained a high level, which is when most mechanics shine.

Yssa's BB system is more of a support system, but his father trained him to be good at survival and combat.

"Where are you going next, Sister Memi?" Sundae inquires

"Let's go northeast as the nearest exit from this broken city," Memao replied.

Memao realized she was being too rash and careless with her words.

It was my chance to meet Alexion's son, Yssa.

Alexion was said to be overprotective of his son.

She had the opportunity to meet the son of legendary Forger Alexion.

Unfortunately, her temper got the best of her. At the very least, she noticed that Yssa seemed unconcerned about her earlier behavior.

"Where are we going?" Cola inquires.

"I'm not sure where we're going, but we just need to follow this water guild." Yssa BB Yssa BB Yssa BB

Cola's expression remained perplexed, so Yssa BB decided to elaborate.

"I know you're skeptical, but this beast's name is a mutated version of Tree Crawlers. Swamp Crawlers is the new name." Yssa BB stated

Tree Crawlers resemble a small monkey the size of a two-month-old cat. It has a large pair of adorable eyes.

It had a long tail that was rope-like and used to keep it in place when it slept in the morning.

Swamp Crawlers differ from the Tree Crawlers from which they mutated.

They are about the size of a medium-sized dog. It had such small eyes that others mistook them for not having any at all.

The tail was used to attack, and it had a blade-like tip at the end.

"They are always found near water sources. When they are threatened or endangered, they always flee to where there is water to heal." Yssa BB has added

"Is that why you named it Water Guide?" Cola was surprised that this was not taught in school.

"I'm not sure if it was considered or not. "Because I'm a Blank System, I only had a month of training before being sent to search activation." Yssa BB Yssa BB Yssa BB

Cola and Yssa BB followed the Swamp Crawlers in search of a water source.

They took 40 minutes.

It was a naturally occurring well. It was concealed from view. Most systems will pass it by unnoticed.

"Be quick to gather your share of water before the swamp crawlers notice we've invaded their water supply." Yssa BB stated

"All right," Cola says.

The duo collected water using their own water bottles.

Water Bottle is a small cylinder the size of a standard six-sided die. It contained 5 gallons (18.9 liters) of water.

This is more than enough for them to survive and flee the Broken City.

"Good, we need a place to rest," Yssa BB says as she begins to run.

Cola keeps a close eye on Yssa BB. The duo will occasionally stop to collect materials and food along the way.
