You, the apocalypse and me! [YiZhan FF] Fantasy

Chapter 30 - Attack on the Waterworks

I think we were really naive when we thought we could join a group of humans, spend a few days with them and then travel on to find our parents. Naively, we thought that we humans would all stick together and fight together now that creatures rule our world and we are becoming fewer and fewer.

And we also made it too easy on ourselves by thinking, okay General Asshole is now holding us captive in this office, but it can't stop us. We thought now as some kind of new people and as perfectly trained government agents, we would easily escape the office and the waterworks. Well, we had been naive in this case as well.

Although Yibo had broken the lock of the office door in no time and thus freed us from the office, heavily armed men of the general were already waiting for us behind it. Obviously, the general had expected this to happen and had taken precautions. Of course, against such a superiority of men who were then also armed with machine guns, we could do nothing with our spears and an unarmed Haikuan.

They didn't lock us in the office anymore, but took us to a new room that stank like a cesspool. But there was a window, although there were bars in front of it. But a window was a possibility, we just had to figure out how to get around the bars. Well, we had all night and all day to come up with something.

But first, all our attention was on our spears. Of course, the general's gang tried to take them from us after we tried to escape in vain. But when two of the men touched our spears to take them from our hands, they suddenly jerked and fell down like stones. They were dead! Just like that, fallen down and Exitus.

The general then ordered two other men to disarm us, but they did not dare to do so, looking at their dead comrades. Instead, they dragged us by our clothes to our new "shelter." Meanwhile, they had been meticulously careful not to come even close to our spears.

Somehow we did not understand. It was not the first time that someone else touched the spears. For example, when I got my spear, Yibo had held it and even trained with it. And Haikuan had also held it more than once before he and Meng Yao sneaked away. Even He Peng could hold my spear, and Yibo's spear as well, with no problem at all. So why did the two men die just because they touched our spears?

Haikuan thought maybe it was some kind of protective mechanism. "Maybe no one can touch your spears who are hostile to you. Or they can touch them only with your permission." He speculated. Well, he might well be right, I thought, and apparently so did Yibo. But whether that's the explanation, we don't know. I guess we'll have to ask King Bac if we ever see him again.

The if, should really be capitalized. Because we had, even in the one week in my apartment, tried to contact King Bac telepathically several times. And also to He Peng. That it works we know, since we often trained this with both and the other Amores. But neither of them answered. Neither in this one week, nor in the moment when we called for help.

More and more we asked questions like, could they escape? Are they still alive? If so, where are they now? Why don't they answer?

We could feel King Bac deep within us. But the feeling had become so faint that we were unsure if he was still alive and if he was, what condition he was in. Would he even be able to save us? After all, he does not have firearms and machine guns. And I don't think King Bac and his men have bulletproof bodies. Besides, we would always blame ourselves if something happened to him or his men, just because we were so stupid to think that in a situation like this, an apocalyptic world, we humans would stick together and not do anything to each other.

While our thoughts were going around in circles and we were trying to find a way out of our situation, Haikuan eventually fell asleep and so did we. At some point, tiredness caught up with us and we awoke only when we heard the thunder of machine guns firing at something.
