It's been a few days since almost being victim to the artificial virus that once plagued this area, we all were barely getting ready to leave.
"Come on everyone, we can't stay here anymore! The government's troops are gonna be raiding the area to find us if we don't hurry!" Henry said.
"Hey take it easy on them, it's not like they're fully recovered." I said, trying to defuse the situation.
"Ugh, can't we just stay here for a bit more.." Tom said.
"No, get your ass up now! At least everyone's trying to get ready, you could do the same."
Once everyone got ready, we went into different cars that had space. The liquid of the leftover people is still here, it's disgusting that the government doesn't care..or had it stopped caring a while ago?
"Hey, Ms Pendleton?"
"Yes, Mr Castellanos, what is your question?"
"What happened to the other two planes? I know one of them betrayed us, but what about the other two?"
"Hm, the other two were originally going to other parts of the world, however one of them retreated when they heard that our plane crashed here. They gave a state for us to meet to discuss plans."
"Alright then."
We drive away, here we are on the road again. I just wonder, what state next? When will the time come where we are unable to hide anymore, where we have no choice, but to fight?
"Hey, look on the road, there seems to be people waiting there." Arthur said.
"Yes, I've noticed them as well, what do you think they're waiting for?" Ms. Pendleton said.
"Wait, people on the road? Hey you don't that-"
"Damn bounty hunters! They must've gotten tipped off by the government!"
Bounty hunter, Jesus how many threats are there going to be in the way?! We're already tired enough, let alone the fact of the matter that we still have people recovering from the damn infection! Dammit!
"Hey! Those are the bastards with the prison escapee and his little gang! Shoot them to hell!" The bounty hunter shouted amongst his crew.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
"Dammit! Quick mike, give me a gun!"
I hand Arthur a gun, he breaks the window and starts to fire as I begin to do the same. Dammit, why now? The government must be really desperate to keep me quiet. They'll pay the same to bring me in dead along with others just as much as if I were brought in alive, maybe even a little more for me dead.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
"Goddamn bounty hunters! What the hell do we do now?!"
"Bang!" "Bang!"
"Screw outta here dammit!" I yelled as I fired more lead into them.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
"AH! Shit, damn you!" Arthur yelled out, Ms Pendleton was calm somehow, it's like she's been in these situations before.
"Bang!"
"Plat!"
"MS. PENDLETON!" I scream out, Holy shit! Ms. Pendleton got shot, Dammit!
"S-stay calm, focus on shooting them.." Ms. Pendleton said weakly, how is she able to talk? She was shot directly into the head...how is she able to carry on driving?!
"Bang!"
"Damn these bounty hunters! Could use some help over here Mike!" Arthur shouted as i started shooting again, how Ms. Pendletons alive can wait, right now we have to fight them off!
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
"Dammit, I'm out of ammo, cover for me!"
"Sure, Just hurry up arthur!" I said as I fired bullet after bullet, the bastards keep persisting us over and over! It's like they keep calling in backup a million times over!
"Bang!"
"Plat!"
"Agh! God! Shit! Screw you!"
"Bang!"
I shot at the tires, the bounty hunters pursuing us crashed into a pole. I saw my shot through and I was ready.
"Bang!"
"BOOM"
"Good work, that should buy us some time!" Arthur Said.
"Yeah, it should be enough for them to be off our trail for now."
"Hey, that wound looks to be that-Wait a minute, did you get shot in the heart?!"
"Huh, Wait did i?"
I Looked at my wound, it seemed to be a direct hit in my heart! Wait, how am I still alive then?!
"And Ms Pendleton..Wait, what the hell happened to us?!"
"Stay calm, I'm not sure why, but I think I do know how. It's one of the side effects of the artificial virus! They wanted a virus that could make people more resistant towards bodily harm, an experiment that a whole state had to suffer and not one had what it took to survive, however we survived so that means we are the success of that experiment." Said Ms. Pendleton
"Wait, so that means we're immortal?" I ask.
"No, just harder to kill."
"What other abilities do we have besides having a resistance towards bullets?" Asked Arthur.
"I don't know, however it's safe to say that there are physical, not any god-like powers unfortunately just abilities that we have strengthened or any new abilities that humans have never had during their evolution."
"Damn, so we're basically an improved version of humans?"
"Pretty much."
"Our gas is running low unfortunately, we're gonna have to stop here for now, Mr. Johnson tell the others will you?"
"Sure."
We stopped at a hotel, and we got out of our cars. There were people waiting. Wait, is this the area that the other plane came to and wanted to meet us here?
"You all made it, good now go, don't worry there are several rooms booked." That voice, it was...Mr. Torvac! However as I went, he stopped me and waited for everyone else to go.
"Hey, I wanna know how exactly you're still alive, don't think that I don't see that bullet wound because I see it and the way I see it, it aligns with your heart. Tell me, what the hell did you do to my soldiers and Ms. Pendleton, I want answers." He said as he pulled out a pistol, oh shit..
"Hey! No need for that, look we ended up in this area where an experimental man made virus infected us, I figured that we gain bullet resistance, along with other abilities for surviving it." I explained to Mr. Torvac
"Bang!"
"Ah! God! Shit, what the hell man?" I said angrily
"What's going on?" It was Penelope's voice.
"Nothing, just wanted to check his resistance towards my bullets, sorry if it was unexpected." He said, however, something didn't seem right...
"Alright I'll let it slide...anyways I'm gonna go and check on my gang." I said in a annoyed tone as I began to enter
"What the hell was that about?! It seems you did it on purpose!" Penelope said angrily, shouting, That was the last thing I heard before me and my crew began to talk about the next course of action we should take, along with the noise drowning out the argument outside.
