Zarek stared at the Hub from behind the foliage for a long while. There were several complicated thoughts running through his mind, and even more instincts telling him he had to go, while even heavier logic was telling him he was an absolute fool.
He had seen the landscape for hundreds of miles, and this was the only Hub located anywhere around here. That much he was fairly sure of.
If he had been on Earth, in a radius like that, he should have easily been able to find a dozen. Hubs were rare, but not this rare.
This told Zarek that one of two things was going on. Either this was just the natural situation of this planet, or this was part of the grace period.
His intuition was telling him that it was the latter.
The reason he was so sure was because of those sealed beasts and Turned he had seen. Those monstrosities, each one more powerful than the last, were placed in strategic locations and well separated by strength. There were bosses amongst them, and weaker minions.
