BXBX NOVEL Chapter 140 - 140 – Trails In The Sky
Since there was no more snow, my colonists could get to their old homes faster. They only took three days.
"Maybe I should build a bridge here," Manu said as he helped Kat get Rix, their new horse, across the river. Meanwhile, Rex the white dog, can cross the water with ease.
Note, Manu. However, I\'ll order Eric to do it since he\'s the one more skilled at building something.
"Take it easy, boy." Kat tried to calm the horse, which was starting to move wildly. Perhaps this animal is not comfortable with the cold river water. It was even more challenging to do because there was quite a lot of stuff that Rix was carrying.
After a long struggle, they finally made it to the other side. However, Manu and Kat\'s clothes were already soaked by the horse\'s splashing water.
Then where is Seb? The blonde-haired man was already running scared. He probably thought the horse would be violent.
After walking for a while more, the two of them arrived at their house. I felt relieved when I saw that home again. Well, although this building is simpler than Congraylham\'s.
"After seeing Eric\'s ex-tribe\'s house, I wanted to replace the wooden walls of this house with bricks. Unfortunately, the place where the clay was taken was very far away. I don\'t feel comfortable asking Leva to take those materials again from there." Manu mumbled as Kat tied her horse to a nearby tree. I was actually keeping the tree in the south of the house, the one Kat used to practice archery for and had once become a place to tie up the naked Leva.
After passing through the banana trees, which had miraculously started to grow their leaves again, Manu entered the open door, following Seb who had entered first. The bearded man looked around the damp room, then approached the warehouse. There, Seb was crouching near two wooden containers whose lids had been opened.
"Looks like no one is coming here." Seb takes a chunk of salt from one of the containers. "All of this has not decreased in the slightest."
"And indeed, there are no other signs that people have been here. Take our fireplace, for example. There was no sign of burn marks there. It\'s the same as the one we left last time…."
Manu stops his words and looked up with Seb. A loud rumbling sound from above made the roof of the house tremble slightly. The two men then glanced at each other and hurried out.
The rumbling was still audible, but it was starting to lessen. A trail of smoke formed in the blue sky, heading south. Kat tried to calm her horse, which was probably panicking at that sound.
"I\'m no stranger to this sound." Manu gulped, walked forward while continuing to stare at the trail of fading smoke. "That\'s the sound of the sky ship…. Or you call escape pod, just like the one that brought you here, Kat."
Kat, finally calming Rix the horse, looked at Manu.
What a coincidence. When we returned to our house, an escape pod appeared. If this wasn\'t a game, such an event would be nearly impossible.
***
Seb and Manu descend the valley after walking for about an hour in-game time, while Kat stealth from tree to tree to keep an eye on.
We saw a large lake in the distance. The edges of the water-filled place were pale brown, like sand. . . . Or maybe even clay? I can\'t imagine how upset Leva would be if it turned out that the lake\'s edges were really clay.
Ah, now is not the time to think about that. Although this could be a great discovery for my colony. What I have to focus on is the escape pod near the lake. That thing is in much better condition than the one that brought Kat. The rescue capsule didn\'t catch fire, and it didn\'t even leave any traces of landing on the ground. Metal legs protruded from the bottom, supporting the oval-shaped object firmly.
The three people who were near the rescue plane were shocked to see my two colonists. They were all dressed in light blue, the same as Kat had when she came here.
Seb raised his hands. "Relax, my friends! We don\'t mean any harm! We will not rob your supplies!"
I pressed the pause button to check on the three people.
The first was a man with thick wavy black hair. From his face, I assumed he was of Latin descent.

I hit the jackpot. With his melee attack stat, coupled with his brawler trait, he would be a great addition to my colony. Although the bloodlust trait is quite worrying.
