I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1698 Looting Many Battlefields

The two started a spree of collecting loot, and in the middle of all this, the fight was raging hot all around! Hye tasted how dangerous it was for any treasure hunter to feel in the middle of this battle, but he didnʼt stop or regret doing this.

He was this close to getting shot many times by crossfire and was surrounded on many occasions by the fighters from this world. But thanks to his Soulers and the temporary ally he secured, he didnʼt suffer any damage.

”Thatʼs enough!” when he looted thousands of small ships, almost a couple of hundred medium-sized spaceships, he decided to stop. He spent a few hours here, enough for the stationed army of this world to dispatch a strong unit here to stabilise the situation, ”letʼs head back now!”

”Now?!!” The lady nymph was totally absorbed in collecting the loot and didnʼt want to stop.

”Life is far more precious than anything,” he laughed, ”letʼs go, we have other places to visit.”

”Oh, other bases you mean? Cool! Letʼs go!” Once she realised they werenʼt just running away but were changing the location of their treasure hunting mission, she instantly agreed.

Hye didnʼt know if this was for her good or bad, but since this day sheʼd changed her mindset. He wouldnʼt find it weird if she ended up being a smuggler and outlaw later on, as it was more profitable and far more exciting to be, rather than being a merchant.

As he lured her by this, she kept humming as they walked away. The portal area was luckily safe, and they returned back from where they came.

”Donʼt pick any random sector this time,” she stopped him from heading towards another portal.

”Who told you Iʼm picking them randomly?” he rolled his eyes.

”I know you donʼt have any intel about the general layout of defensive bases here.”

”Neither do you! Then why are you trying to act like you do?”

”Because…” she paused, seemingly checking something on her system interface, ”in such times, the hot places always are filled with news blackouts.”

”If there is a blackout, then how come we know about them?” Hye didnʼt get what she wanted to do, and that made her chuckle.

”Weʼll look, see which sectors are not appearing in the news or the main channels. Like this, we can pinpoint the sectors under attack, all at once!”

”Good point,” Hye knew this would take a bit of time and effort, yet itʼd yield great results. They wouldnʼt just get one or two sectors but will get all in one go.

Asking Smiggy about that was out of the question. Like him, Smiggy and other smugglers were going to do the same as he did back then, visit these places and try to fish anything from there.

If he asked Smiggy, the latter wouldnʼt give him any answer without paying a hefty price for that. Not to mention there was no guarantee that the man would send him in circles, or make him visit places that already got looted.

Like this, heʼd end up having nothing at all, and heʼd pay tons of bones on top of that. Instead, the nymph ladyʼs way was much better.

The two found a nice place to sit and drank a few cups of tasty alcohol, one that made them feel more confident and daring. They kept looking for the sector news while comparing this with the general map they had of this world.

”Sector 214 news is absent.”

”Add sector 789 as well.”

”Sector 107…”

The two kept marking sectors one by one. And soon enough, the task that Hye thought would take long hours ended in a mere three.

”We have around thirty sectors under attack,” the nymph lady was excited by such a result, ”we are going to be rich!”

”I want starships, nothing else,” Hye knew he could reap more benefits from this deal, but he was more focused on getting the hot cake in all this.

Other stuff would be bought from the universe using money, but things that his bones couldnʼt buy were worth their weight in gold or even more.

”Iʼm sure trying to go there will be hard,” Hye looked over the direction of the portals in the entire place, feeling the most logical way to protect more casualties and trouble fishers from going there would be by locking the portals.

”That wonʼt do,” the nymph lady didnʼt agree with him, ”if they dared to do so, more ruckus would start all over the world. The news will spread about that, and we havenʼt heard anything about this yet.”

”Letʼs move fast then,” Hye was sure that if they didnʼt do it now, theyʼd do it later. So they better move and visit more sectors before itʼd become impossible to do so.

If that happened, heʼd have Smiggy as the only answer. The latter wouldnʼt take the initiative to help a competitor, even if he was going to get little extra bones for that.

He moved with her quite fast and managed to visit ten sectors out of the list they got. They spent a couple of days doing so, gaining lots of loot and spaceships in the end.

But when they visited the eleventh sector, they found no battle happening anymore. This was a bad sign, and yet they kept visiting other places.

”Itʼs all over,” the lady nymph was quite frustrated by this. She didnʼt like how this ended and regretted not moving too fast or having more hands to collect more loot.

”We got enough, and that was satisfying,” the two were sitting inside a room in a hotel he rented. As they had no other battlefields to visit and loot, they went to the sector Smiggy marked for him, waiting for the latter to finish what he was doing and give him more instructions.

Hye tried to contact him more than once but ended up getting no response. He knew Smiggy was busy handling the entire situation, looting more than he and the nymph lady did.
