《Terror Infinity Remake》5 Water Water
Advertisement
After filling everyone's accounts with a million or two, Chris was left alone.
While the people went around doing their jobs, Fry and Johns left to see the settlement. The two prospectors decided to dig a well, just in case, while the merchant and preacher went to look if their items were still alright, searching for anything of use.
Riddick only appeared a few times to steal water and food, most of the time hiding like a hunted animal.
Suddenly there was a huge arguement between the two prospectors and the survivor group.
"Idiot you will die if you dig fruther, there are monsters underground!"
One of the survivors said seriously.
But the prospector named Zeke was acted as if he heard a fart. His partner Shazza was of the same mind, if they could dig a well they would get a stable environment for survival.
"If you don't stop digging I will shoot!"
One of the survivors suddenly said, holding a gun.
"Oi, there, I don't know what's the deal about the monsters you're talking about, but digging a well is simple work, nobody will be hurt"
Zeke said as he took his hands off of the weird futuristic excavator. The other survivors also begun to shout in disagreement with this method, they weren't the same sort of savages as the Hero group.
Before long Zeke, Shazza and the survivors sat down and begun talking about the best way to build a well, after all it wasn't impossible, the only problem was to not dig a big enough hole.
Riddick once more approached Chris whom was sitting by himself.
-What are you thinking about?
-Why would you care?
-Well you're not like the others
-No I'm exactly like them
-You have no fear
-Fear is just something you overcome
-Thanks for the water
Riddick suddenly disappeared after having stolen Chris' water.
Chris felt a bit thirsty, but honestly he didn't care if he lived or died anymore. After the beating from Samson he understood one thing, be it the real world or this death game they were no different, people would always impose rules on one another and the strongest would impose their own rule.
Chris wasn't delusional, he knew full well that he wasn't strong, he could probably put up a fight when one against one, but when outnumbered he became a punching bag.

A long distancea away the Heroes were walking in the hot desert, the solar powered buggy had just passed them not too long ago, but from that they knew that they were headed the right way.
Tian was probably the only one that didn't complain about the heat.
When the first person fainted, Tian told them to leave him there, there was no reason to carry an unconcious person throught the desert and into even more danger. After all this was only the first objective.
Tian looked at the exhausted faces behind him, everyone was tired, walking for hours in the desert wasn't a walk in the park. Those short stops they had were more of a torture rather than a reprieve, so they stopped doing it. But the fall of the first person was the signal of danger, as anyone could be the next.
George and Jason disobeyed his orders and carried the unconcious guy with them, but Tian didn't say anything to them, he saved his strength for the journey ahead.
"Can't we go back"
Someone suddenly said from behind.
"Everyone we're not too far from our target, just try to keep up"
George said, trying to fix the morale of the group a little, but he himself knew that it was pointless.
Tian and Samson were the only ones who had water and while Tian didn't drink any water this whole time, everyone could see Samson and his goons enjoying the water. George estimated that by the end of the mission Samson would have even more goons as other people wished to join his group just to have a sip of water.
Tian didn't see Samson as a rival at all, holding his assault riffle in hand he was confident that he could wound them all and just let them to be monster food in the desert. Even without the assault riffle he still had confidence of taking those noobs on.
Walking forwards following the buggy tracks was easier than following a single direction, Tian was confident that within a day's time they would reach their destination, it might be tough, but it wasn't imposible.
George and Jason were lagging behind as they were now carrying two people that had fainted from the heat. If only they had a hat or something it would be really good, but the abominable sun was too hot.

At that time the solar powered buggy had reached the settlement and Johns and Fry were elated to see a spaceship parked there.
They didn't even look at the water well not too far away and charged for it.
"The Power cells are completely drained, otherwise it could fly, all we have to do is bring four power cells from the wreckage"
Fry said as she checked for any further problems.
"Then we have to make sure that we have enough food and water for the journey"
Johns said as he played with the small money tube, looking at his twenty millions.
"It's not so simple, the power cells are heavy, we could at most bring one at a time with us, the journey here and back is one hour at most, but only one person can take the buggy"
Fry said, causing Johns to understand the problem of the matter, he looked around and found another matter, the spaceship was too small, if he included those scavengers into his account they had more than 20 people now, it was a problem and those scavengers even had guns, he now regretted allowing them to take their guns into the desert.
"Lets take some water back for now, I'm sure we can figure this problem out, after all you saw how those scrabs could walk in the desert, we can probably do the same"
Johns said, causing Fry to be somewhat more relaxed.
As the buggy was returning they saw the desert wanderers and gave them some water to drink. The players were overjoyed and thanked the two generous NPCs for their concern and kindness.
Johns had a wide smile on his face as Fry gave everyone water to drink. They four gas tanks of water on the buggy and they were sure it would be enough for everyone.
As for food, they were sure there was enough in the settlement, as long as they brought the whole group there and looked around, because with two people it was impossible to examine the whole place.
Back at the wreckage Riddick appeared in front of Chris once more with a new bottle of water.
"Do you want some?"
"Not really"
Chris lied, he really hated it when he was being helped by others, even back in the resident evil mission he wanted to be useful, but ended up being a dead weight.
"Buddy you should really look after your health, drink some and I don't mind if you shared some of your sandwiches"
Riddick said while taking some of the food left for Chris.
Chris really hated those busybodies survivors for leaving food and water for him. Riddick on the other side was thankful, it saved him the effort of stealing it himself.
"Nice sandwitch, can you ask them to add some mayo next time"
Riddick's words made Chris angry, but he just smiled it off and stared into the distance, he could see the others returning after scavanging the ejected compartments, returning with boxes of supplies and tools. Even the children were helping carry the supplies, the merchant was really generous, playing with his own money tube, rather happily while drinking one of the fine wines from his collection.
"I owe you a favour buddy, so I'll give you a warning, tell your friends that Johns will probably burry them all in the desert sooner or later, he's just that sort of guy"
Riddick said while turning his back to leave.
"I don't care even if they all died, they're not my friends, they're nobodies to me, they only care because they can use me"
Chris said, creating a strange misunderstanding. It was after all logical to use a hacker that could earn them millions, if this was in Riddick's world it would be no better than being in a golden cage, who would let such a hacker out of their sight. Them having guns was also a thing and Chris not having one, was also a strange coincidence.
"Do you want me to kill them for you?"
Riddick suddenly said, a bit reluctant, after all the survivors seemed like a jolly bunch of wackos.
"Leave them alone, it's not like they will survive the nightfall"
Chris said, making Riddick a bit interested.
"What will happen when night falls?"
Riddick asked puzzled.
"That's when the monsters come out"
Chris said, making Riddick bursh out laughing, it was a good joke or so he thought.

8 219Runicka: Tournament of Monsters (A GameLit Card Game Fantasy)
The runes are changing, and with it, the game itself changes. Taygion Ardwella finds himself stranded, alone, and on the run from some very determined guards who claim Tay's stolen from them. They're right, but that shouldn't mean Tay has to give back what he took. He's only been in Stormwall for a week and already, he's earning the ire of the most powerful and notorious House that controls the city's underground. And when their scion challenges Tay to a duel of cards, Tay will find himself thrust into a game of sorcery and strategy as he attempts to both find a way out of this mess and find his own way in the world. To do both, he'll need to learn to accept guidance and coaching where it's sorely needed, craft a deck of unimaginable power, and not die whenever his opponents try and cheat him out of a hard-earn victory. But not all is as it seems in the shadows of Stormwall, and if Tay can figure out the importance of what it is he's stolen, he may just have a chance at saving the game of Runicka. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Runicka: Tournament of Monsters is a high fantasy, card game-based adventure novel with enough magic, worldbuilding, and characters to fill a Sanderson series. I would consider it a part of the GameLit subgenre. This series in particular is not an isekai, and will start and end in a high fantasy setting complete with its own lore and backstory. It is a progression fantasy, and I am writing it inspired by all the Yu-Gi-Oh mangas/animes, and all the hours I've invested/wasted (depending on who you ask) playing TCGs like Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a work in progress. In your journey through Stormwall alongside Tay, you'll probably find typos, grammatical errors, and maybe a confusing sentence every once in a while (although I hope to keep these to a minimum). That said, comments and suggestions on where I can improve are not only encouraged but greatly appreciated. And finally, expect new chapters every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**Currently on a small hiatus. I have a bit of a workplace crisis going on. I'm still writing, but I don't have time to polish and publish. Chapters will return on a regular basis soon though!!**
