Jake and the others decided to return to the river. It was the only source of clean water they had for the time being, after all. Besides, it was a place where it was hard to move without being noticed, so aside from at night, they didn't have to worry about being ambushed. However, before that, they talked with some guards of the other nearby camps, and apparently, their leaders were not interested in selling or buying items from others. They wasted some hours doing that, but they were already back at the river around midnight.
"Urgh… all this walking is so annoying," Lana said.
"To be honest, I am starting to get tired of it as well," Louise said.
"You guys can go and rest, I will stay on guard duty," Jake said. "We already wasted almost two days in this foolish search, so we will have to catch up with the hunt tomorrow morning."
