Going Back to the Lake, The Start of the Second Day of their Journey

Day 67 - 7:49 AM - Sampaguita Street, San Juan, Taytay, Rizal

The sun had long risen from the east, and the convoy Mark led left the resting point quite late.

A journey outside the settlement was also a race against time. Because of that, the original schedule was to start preparing before dawn and leave at sunrise. Unfortunately, the waterbugs continued on seeking food until almost an hour after the sun had risen.

Due to the threat of the waterbugs, their schedule got delayed.

However, also due to the waterbugs hunting for food, they managed to have a night mostly free of threat. As Mark had thought, the waterbugs only attacked prey on sight while also avoiding possible predators. Some managed to accidentally see Chaflar and Gifre under the roof covered area in front of the business establishments, but none attacked them.
