Tyler woke up at dawn, he left the tent and went to talk to the hunter.
"Can you find their nest?"
"I've been around these parts a lot, there are few places where a nest of goblins can take shelter, if the girl takes us closer to where she fled, I can take us there!"
Seeing the confidence in the man's eyes Tyler did not doubt it, he had long since learned the value of a local expert.
Tyler stepped back into the tent and the girl was already awake. "Hello, did you sleep well?"
"Yes thank you ..." The girl was still very shy.
"I know you may be hungry, but I wanted to do some tests to see if you're really alright!"
"Tests?" She asked, startled.
Tyler used the word test instead of exam because he thought it would be easier for her to understand.
"You have nothing to worry about, just do what I ask of you."
She nodded, Tyler removed his stethoscope. "This is for me to hear your heart, look how it is!" He put the olives in her ear and the diaphragm on her chest. "See how you can hear the heart very well…"
She nodded again, Tyler was using the same tactics used in children. He had lied the night before about his "male problems," making the patient feel good is always the doctor's priority.
"My turn!" Tyler adjusted the device to his ears.
"Um ..." she shivered as he placed the stethoscope on her skin.
"Ice cold?"
"Yes ..." She said, but not only that, there was a man touching her in a very private part of her body.
Tyler checked his heart. "Now fill your chest with air and hold on!"
"Shiii…" she sucked in all the air she could and held her cheeks bulging.
"Very good, now let go!" Tyler was talking as he changed his lungs. "Once again!"
"Say thirty-three to me."
"Thirty three…"
"Very good, wait a little longer, I'm finishing!"
Now Tyler tapped his ribs. Both these beats and number thirty-three were very important, beating between the ribs is a procedure called chest percussion, it indicates whether the lung is full of air or if it has any obstruction, the more the sound resembles a " drum "the better! And saying the number thirty-three is not random, the resonance provoked by the sound of the "err" syllables can show if there is an accumulation of secretion, mucus, or fluid in the lungs.
"Am I doing well?" The girl asked uncertainly.
"Very well!" Tyler joked.
"Now I'll show you a light, follow it with your eyes, think you can do it?"
"Yes!"
This test is good for pupil responses, you can also see if the person has anemia, jaundice, or has received a severe blow to the head.
"We're almost there." After that Tyler began to examine the lymph granules, these two grape streaks that are at the top of the throat are a good indication of whether the body is infected!
"Hold it in your mouth while I put it on your finger." Tyler put the thermometer in it, and an oxygen meter. Yesterday she had a low fever, but today it seems that everything was fine.And the meter didn't show anything too.
"Ready we're done, does it hurt?"
"No… are you a weird doctor?"
"Do I look weird?"
The girl was embarrassed and tried to redeem herself. "No, not you, it's your braces, and the way you act, I've never seen a doctor act like that!"
"Haa… that's nothing, it's because I come from so far away, that's how we treat people there. You're hungry, we can change your dressings after you eat. "
"Thanks, can I get up?"
"Already, come out whenever you want!" Tyler left, now that she spoke, he realized that maybe she wanted to use the bathroom (famous thicket).
They were already sitting around a fire when Krinna returned from her duties.
"Hello, I'm Noeru!" Said the hunter introducing himself.
"Krinna, nice to thank you for saving me!"
"You're welcome, Master told me there were a few more women in your group."
"Yes ..." The girl said sadly thinking of her friends.
"Don't worry, me and the master will bring them back!"
"Like, you're only two!"
The fact was that yesterday the girl was already injured and had run for a long time trying to save herself. When she heard Tyler's voice she felt a ray of hope so she succumbed to fatigue!
"Don't worry, the master is a man full of surprises, he can definitely handle these worms!"
Although she wasn't confident, she thought it best not to confront them.
After eating, Tyler asked them to get ready, as he wanted to do as much as possible while it was still early.
Tyler considered changing dressings today, but saw that there was not much need and also saw that it might be possible to have to do many dressings, it was better to ration…
"Krinna, do you think you can get back to where you ran from?"
"Yes I can, you want to try to get to the goblins' nest, don't you?"
"Yes it is…"
"I know where is!"
"Do you know ?? !!" they both exclaimed at the same time.
"Yes, everyone in Atazar knows, the lord of the city doesn't allow that nest to be extinguished for fear of troll retaliation!"
"So no problem, trolls will be killed shortly!"
"Will the king send an army?" The girl asked hopefully.
"No, I'll kill them alone!"
With her jaw dropped she couldn't say anything.
Since the ATV only carried two people, Tyler drove with Krinna by the side while the hunter stood holding on to the bucket.
In about an hour and a half they reached the side of a small mountain.
"If you follow straight you will see the entrance!"
Tyler saw fear in the girl's eyes. "Noeru stay here and protect the place, I'll come in!"
"Master is dangerous, let me go along!" The hunter begged.
"So let's do it like this, I come in while the two of them stay in the doorway, kill whatever they want in or out!"
"Right!" It seems that the two agreed with the idea.
Tyler got behind the car and took off his gear. At first he put a tactical vest, in his pockets was stuffing than was needed now ... ammunition.
Filled with all the combs I had for both Glock and M-4. He took off his night vision goggles and fixed it on his helmet.
As for the radio, he used an extension, a laryngophone. The laryngophone is an accessory often used by special forces, it is like a "collar" that activates with the vibration caused by the vocal cords, and the sound goes straight to the ear through a headset that filters out most of the outside noises. This allows the user to always have their hands free!
Tyler tested his Glock's accessories, as the nest was in a cave would obviously be quite dark, so Tyler put the gun's flashlight in strobe mode. Strobo is a mode of operation usually present in military flashlights, a very powerful beam of light is flashing intermittently, this confuses and disorientates the enemy. And perhaps the most important accessory was the silencers, Tyler had only for himself, that was one of the reasons he didn't bring the hunter along.
Tyler now had fifteen pounds of equipment on his body, but that was considered a light weight. Some soldiers on missions could carry up to forty pounds of equipment.
Tyler drove the car closer, when he stopped right in front of the driveway he said. "Stay here at the entrance, kill anything that isn't human!Let's talk on the radio, inside it might fail a little, so don't be scared if I take too long to answer! "
"Got it, master!"
Tyler took a strawberry he had saved and ate it! 'I have to be one hundred percent.' He thought!
"I'm going!" Before Tyler entered the girl shouted. "Please, don't die!"
She was red and seemed sorry to have shouted those words.
"I won't, it's a man's duty to come back safe when there's a woman worried about him!" Tyler laughed and stepped into the darkness.
The old man's words made the girl even more embarrassed, now she was really sorry to have said that.
