"Hm... maybe I should take Selena with me. After all, she's experienced when dealing with Acid-spitters," Shinon said to himself, a plan forming in his mind.
He jumped from his chair and briskly walked outside. "If nothing else, I can still use her as a distraction to take down more acid spitters or perhaps even devise a way to trap them."
As he stepped out into the settlement, he was met with a sight that both surprised and impressed him. The destruction caused by Alex's attack had been swiftly repaired.
The gates that had been broken now stood tall and strong, thanks to the collective effort of the settlers. The peripheral walls were restored, and the settlers were rebuilding what they had lost.
Even though the sun had already set, the settlers showed no sign of slowing down. Their resilience and determination fueled Shinon's own desire to help them.
"Helping them would boost their favourability towards me, so... it is a double win."
