Progress

It looks like an old wooden chest similar to the one that contained the gold and luxurious-looking underwear now secured inside one of the pockets of my tactical pants. As we approached it, we became more certain that it is the same old wooden chest. Although I felt that it will have another item, I told Siti that we should approach it as carefully as we did the first chest we opened with Amelka and Urick.

"So, we're going to use a bomb at it?" Siti asked.

I have two remaining bombs and Siti has three left. It might seem like a no-brainer for us to use a poison gas bomb at the chest to be certain about our safety, but, as I always said, these bombs are important resources we have. The poison gas bomb has proved useful even life-saving in a lot of times and situations.

"Maybe we could try just hitting it with our combat knives," I said.

My suggestion sounded stupid, but I wanted to save as many bombs as we could.

"Okay, if that's what you say so."
