Marcus carried the two girls on his left and right shoulders. Despite them being the ones that looked heavy, they were manageable. But, what's not manageable is the smell they are producing.
It's the worst smell he had ever dealt with up close.
It was days—maybe weeks—of being locked in that place. No proper food. No clean water. No way to wash. The smell clung to them.
Marcus didn't react outwardly. Of course, he understood why they were in that state in the first place. In fact, it made him feel lighter as he had saved them from their situation.
Arriving outside of the cave, Marcus simply placed them on the ground since they can't fit in the JLTV Oshkosh. The variant he had bought from the system is a Heavy Guns Carrier. They are not suited for people like them who are too weak to move.
He'll need convenient transport. But he'll figure it out later. There's still six girls left inside.
Marcus exhaled once and turned back toward the cave.
