Chapter 10 - Mine your own Business

After breakfast Ashhad and Humzah were practicing ranged combat outside Basit's house, Basit was sitting in his house balcony as Ashhad shot three arrows with each arrow striking the bullseye, Humzah did the same but he missed all of them as he remarked

Humzah : I'm impressed how you can shoot so well, yet when I try I fail miserably.

Ashhad : no one is good at everything your aim is not good but you are good at close quarter combat.

Humzah : the credit for that goes to my mom, you see when she was pregnant with me a thief stole her purse, she not only caught the thief but she also broke both of his arms.

Ashhad : your mom seemed sweet to me.

Humzah : she loved you because you were the only kid in our school who didn't call me chum bucket due to my obesity.

Ashhad : and I loved you because you were the only kid in our school who didn't call me pinnochio due to my long nose.

Humzah : damn I miss that time.

Ashhad : same school.

Humzah : same college.

Ashhad : same University.

Humzah : you have no idea how sad I was when I had to change town because of my business.

Ashhad : hey atleast you got freaking rich.

Humzah : yeah I guess your right.

Humzah shot another arrow but before it could reach the board another arrow came and struck Humzah's arrow it broke mid air Humzah looked to the right and saw Hussnain coming towards them he had a bow in his hand as he got to Ashhad and Humzah he said

Hussnain : the speed at which you fired that arrow I could've stopped it with my bare hand.

Ashhad : greetings Hussnain how are you?

Hussnain : fine, where's Basit?

Ashhad pointed at Basit's balcony Hussnain looked up at him and waved his hand, Basit waved back as Hussnain said

Hussnain : alright only one of you is coming with me my choice will be final and based on my personal analysis, ok?

Ashhad : ok.

Hussnain : show me your inventories both of you.

Humzah and Ashhad showed their inventory as Humzah proudly remarked

Humzah : everything in my inventory is mine.

Ashhad : several things in my inventory were taken from Humzah and Basit.

Hussnain : great in that case, Ashhad you're coming with me.

Ashhad : wait really?

Hussnain : yes now come on.

Ashhad and Hussnain left, Humzah was very very confused meanwhile Ashhad asked Hussnain

Ashhad : you chose me even when Humzah was more prepared than me.

Hussnain : your friend is a lier or he was absent minded.

Ashhad : what?

Hussnain : everything in his inventory was his own except for his sword that belonged to Basit.

Ashhad did not ask another question after that they soon arrived at the cave entrance as Hussnain took out two torches in his hand and gave one to Ashhad as he said

Hussnain : from here begins the dark part of the cave beware the zombies that lurk in the shadows.

Ashhad gulped and the two went inside back at Basit's house Humzah was sitting with Basit as he asked

Humzah : I wonder why Hussnain didn't choose me?

Basit : are you sure everything in your inventory is your own?

Humzah : yes every....

just then Humzah saw the sword as he said

Humzah : wait this sword is yours damn it I can't believe such a small mistake costed me a trip to the cave.

Basit : the caves aren't the only way to get money you know, if one of you had been a girl or had a sister or cousin with you you would've easily gotten 50000 Emeralds in just one day.

Humzah : really how?

Basit : prostitution.

Humzah : Basit that is the most fucked up thing you have ever said.

Basit : no but seriously if you help the locals in doing their daily work you may end up getting a good amount of Emeralds, I did it when I was new to the server.

Humzah : you sure?

Basit : give it a shot you'll thank me later.

taking Basit's advice Humzah went outside and began to speak to the locals asking if they needed help with anything, immediately Humzah found himself working for several wealthy people, for every job Humzah did he was paid 1000 to 2000 Emeralds in less than an hour Humzah had earned a lot of Emeralds back in the caves Ashhad and Hussnain had gone very deep when they saw that their way was blocked by about 15 zombies as Ashhad said

Ashhad : looks like we've got company.

Hussnain took out in his hand his sword and said

Hussnain : I'll take care of this.

Ashhad took out his sword and said

Ashhad : rephrase yourself we'll take care of this.

Hussnain charged at the zombies he slashed through them like bars of soap, Ashhad stabbed one zombie impaled another and chopped of the head of another after a few minutes they were all dead as Hussnain remarked

Hussnain : all done.

but just then they heard a loud thud as Ashhad asked

Ashhad : what was that?

just then a giant zombie came walking out from a cave and came towards them it grabbed Hussnain and lifted him up as Hussnain screamed

Hussnain : let me go!

Ashhad : LEAVE HIM NOW!

Ashhad attacked the zombie and without caring for his health stabbed the zombie in its feet the zombie fumbled and fell down, Hussnain safely landed on the ground he stabbed the zombie in its chest and killed it as Hussnain looked back at Ashhad and said

Hussnain : you risked you life for me, why?

Ashhad : how would I face Basit if I told him that I let his friend die?

Hussnain smiled and said

Hussnain : you're brave very brave.

Hussnain looked at the way forward and said

Hussnain : we will find many minerals in here let's move.

the two continued to explore the cave.
