The road to civilization (2)

After travelling for two days the plains gradually turned into rolling hills, this slowed down the group as they became wary of the possibility of an ambush just over the next hill, Mars as usual brought up the rear along with 78 and chatted while they walked but suddenly he looked to the front. 78 was about to ask what he had found when she suddenly felt his hand on top of her head before he said

"Be a good girl and wait here for a few minutes, I'll be right back"

"Okay"

Mars then called out to Allen

"Allen you guys better make camp here, I have found something troublesome up ahead"

Allen signalled for the rest of the hunters to stop before he turned to Mars again and asked

"Do you need our help?"

"No... You'll just be a burden"

Allen gave a wry smile before he put down his backpack

"If you say so benefactor Mars then we will stay here"
