My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse-Chapter 136 Going To The Trainyard
"Will you all keep quiet and listen!" Nasir's cold voice reverberated throughout the tunnel.
For a couple of seconds, the crowd was quiet as they fixed their gaze on him. Seeing that the situation was under control, Nasir breathed a sigh of relief.
"I understand how you feel but we must keep on moving forward. I believe you don't want to be a burden to those people that stood to defend us." He said slowly.
"We know all that. But we aren't sure if they are still alive or not. What we are worried about is if we were to meet a powerful beast ahead. What would we do when we have no one to defend us." A middle-aged man said among the crowd.
"You don't have to care about that. There are enough defense squads to secure us… if any we meet any beast or zombies." Nasir responded.
"But—" Before another person could refuse his claim. Nasir interrupted him.
"That's enough. Let's continued to move." He was getting annoyed by their continuous nagging.
The crowd grumbled but continued to move forward. They all knew how crazy Nasir was when pushed to the wall.
Suddenly, the group heard the continuous sound of footsteps from their back. Immediately, the defense team at the back grip their weapon tightly as their breath quickened.
A group of people came from the end of the tunnel in a large stride. But what accosted them was the deafening sound of bullets.
Before the bullet could hit the incoming people. A powerful force field appeared in front of the group, defending against the bullets as their faces darkened.
When the nervous defense team saw the faces of the new arrival. Their hearts almost jumped out of their chest. They trembled as a bead of sweat dripped from their forehead.
The situation of the camp had been on the line for the past couple of hours. With the departure of the powerful people among them. The defense team was under a lot of pressure.
"W-e are… S-sorry your Majesty" The leader of the squad stuttered as his lips trembled. His leg was hitting each other as he found it difficult to maintain his standing under the cold gaze of the people in front of him. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com
Justin looked at the leader of the squad for a moment before he ignored him and continued to move forward.
The defense team didn't recover after the group left until the line was moved forward for a couple of minutes.
The pressure that comes from Justin's gaze was so massive that it frightened them to the core. This wasn't just a normal gaze. It was like they were standing in front of a powerful existence that could kill them with his breath. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦
When the crowd saw their king and his men back into their midst. A shout of joy echoed. A radiant smile appeared on their faces as they breathed a sigh of relief. The dreadful air hanging on top of their head disappeared into thin air.
Justin arrived in front of the group but went directly to check on Kira and Nika. Kira lay quietly on the cart as she watched the joyful faces of the people.
'The people are loving him every passing second. Who has expected this from the tyrant king.' Kira thought as a chuckle escaped from her mouth.
"How are you loin?" Justin asked calmly.
"Good." A light smile appeared on Kira's face as she looked at Justin's handsome face.
"Hmm. Hmm," he nodded as he held her hand and caressed it lightly.
"I will come back to check on you later." He added.
"No problem." She knew how dire the situation was. With this short visit; she knew she had a place in his heart and that was enough.
Justin made a quick visit to Nika before he returned to the head of the line. The crowd waited patiently as they looked at the leading figure in the camp as they were discussing among themselves.
"We can't continue to move without any obvious direction. We need a plan." Justin said with a solemn tone.
"Get the map" He commanded.
Quickly, the map was spread on the ground as the group looked at it with a pensive gaze. Every one of them knew time was not on their side but they were lost on what to do.
It's not like they can camp in the tunnel. Besides, the Insectoid was on their tails, leaving no room for discrepancy.
"Where is our location?" Grandpa Philip asked, staring at the big map on the ground.
"Here." Mack pointed to a thin brown line.
"Is there anything that we could use to our advantage in this area?" Justin asked.
The group looked at each other's faces but none could come up with something tangible. Suddenly, Chloe creased his brow as she looked at a particular location on the map.
'I don't know if it may be of any help to our current situation.' Chloe for a moment.
"I think I know somewhere around here where we could at least defend ourselves." She said slowly.
Immediately the face of the people brightened as they turned to look at Chloe, waiting for her to continue. Seeing their expectant gaze, her heart missed a beat as she panicked slightly.
Clearing her throat. She fixed her gaze on Justin's face.
"There is an old train station that has been turned into a train yard. We could use it as our temporary camp before we come up with a secure location." She said in one breath.
Hearing this, the face of the people brightened as a radiant smile appeared on their faces. Quickly, they turned to Justin, waiting for his decision.
Meanwhile, Mack stared at the map for a moment before he nodded.
"Are you sure that?" Justin asked.
Chloe looked at the map for a moment before he nodded.
"I heard my grandfather say something about that," Mack added.
Hearing Chloe and Mack's confirmation, Justin nodded. They couldn't afford to waste their precious chasing ghost.
"Sergio and Susan, guard the back while the others should maintain the line. We can't afford to waste any more time." Justin said seriously. He could feel the approaching Blood sucking ants and they couldn't avoid the incoming battle.
With the Nightmare suppression removed from his body and level up. His perception covers a large area. With the power of his vibration ability. He felt the enormous vibration coming from the surface.
'We're surrounded. Using the train yard as our temporary camp is a dead end. But what if we can find a train…' His heart raced when he thought about this.
'To find Eden, we need to move. So camping in a fixed location is out of the option. The train is our only option. '
"Chloe, wait for a moment," Justin said.
The group looked at her but didn't utter a word as they rushed to their post. Suddenly, the deafening scream of the Blood Sucking Ants shook the tunnel.
"What is that!"
"I don't know but I feel my blood going erratic. "
"Not you alone. Mine also."
The crowd shouted in panic. But when they saw the powerful people around them. Their panic reduced.
"Move. Move quickly." Mack's voice echoed in the tunnel.
The crowd needed not to be told twice as they moved forward. Meanwhile, Chloe looked at Justin and rubbed her palm together in nervousness. Unknown to Justin, his increase in power and the pressure that came from his body made those with lower circles uncomfortable. But the people didn't have the nerves to tell him.
"Why are you sweating?" Justin asked.
"Pressure from your body," Chloe said with some difficulty as her chest rose and fell.
Hearing this, he creased his brow as he knew the problem. At once, he controlled his ability and the pressure disappeared. Albeit, he wondered why the others didn't tell him this. But quickly he put it out of his mind.
"What do you know about train engines?" Justin asked.
Chloe blinked her eyes twice as she tried to register the question in her brain. She knew he wouldn't joke with something like that in their current situation. So, he must have a plan.
"Why do you ask?" She asked.
"Answer my question?" he said with a solemn tone.
She sighed as she shook her head. "I have some knowledge about machinery but haven't touched anything about train engines."
"Are you saying you can't fix one if you find one?" He questioned
"I don't know," She exhaled.
"This is not the time for you not to know. And if you don't know, you must know now. With all the books we took from the school library; you are telling me there is nothing about it. Besides, with your ability, you should be able to pick a thing or two if you study it." Justin said, leaving no room for argument.
Chloe widened her eyes as she stared at Justin, not understanding why he insisted on her fix a train. Besides, going to the train yard doesn't mean they are going to find a functioning train.
She sighed as she couldn't refuse his command. She returned to the line as her thought was in shambles.
"Where should I start?" She murmured absentmindedly.
