The cruel sun beat down the barren wastelands, it's one malevolent eye unblinking, and the sky was its co-conspirator, there wasn't even a wisp of cloud to soften the harsh rays. No one would've believed this region was hit by a rainstorm just a few hours ago.
The small lizard-like monsters took shelter in the shadows of the rocks where the sand was not hot enough to roast them. The air was thick and hazy, taking a breath seed like drowning in lava, and among all this noise of a single car, engine tore the silence and laziness of the wasteland, in all its might. The noise of the car attracted the monsters but the man driving the humvee didn't care about anything else, other than quickly reaching his destination.
He just had to reach and help his summons, no he didn't need to help his summons, they were already sufficient to handle the monsters. What he truly wanted, was to verify one of his theories.
'I'll cancel my summoning as soon as I reach there. I can't miss this chance to test whether the monsters I kill myself without the help of my summons would count towards the headhunter quest or not...' Arnold thought and stepped on the gas, 'At least I ordered Allen to keep Amanda busy otherwise she would've sent an entire armada with . Tsk, that would've been too much work.'
The mont Arnold had stepped into the humr, Talos had shared his location with him. Being the Section Chief, no one asked him any questions like where he was going etc. In truth, they were just scared that Arnold might kick them out if they pissed him off, just like the Ex-Brigadier General, that's why most of them kept to themselves and simply saluted him if he crossed by.
However, there were a few curious souls who still approached Arnold and asked where was he headed to, like the security stationed at the gate. Honestly, Arnold didn't have any issues with them prying about him as long as they didn't go out of their way to cause him trouble. Also, he already had an answer ready to shut them up, "I'm just going out for a ride to clear my mind, I have to leave now if you don't mind."
And that was it, no one having even a single brain cell, asked him anything after that.
"Co on! Can't you move any faster!"
He still had to cover a distance of 22 kilotres and top speed of the vehicle was 100 kilotres per hour but since he was driving offroad hence the speed had reduced significantly, it was about 92 kmph.
"Of course! I could just enhance it myself! All the points I invested to increase my intelligence and I'm still an idiot..." He mumbled and placed one of his hands on the dashboard of the car.
