My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse-Chapter 209 Who Is The Prey?
Mack and his team increased their pace when they realized the gathering thunderstorm. In a couple of minutes, a couple of weak beasts lay amid the street with the ground covered in blood but were quickly washed away by the continuous flow of water.
"How far are we from the ark?" Mack asked one of his men. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛o𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂
"About 2 kilometers from the ark."
When he heard this, he creased his brow and looked at the few supplies in their hands, and shook his head. 'This area had been looted, leaving only the remnant. Besides, we didn't detect any traces of humans.'
"We're moving too slow. We need to increase our pace more." He commanded in a solemn voice.
Quickly, the group increased their speed and turned to light jogging. Unknown to him, the more he journeys deeper into the city, the happier those behind them are.
"When should we strike? They've long departed from the others…. Perhaps, we are waiting for the others to join us." A man asked, staring at the middle-aged woman.
The woman didn't bat an eye at the man as she fixed her gaze on her prey – Mack's group.
"We're not waiting for the other to snatch our prey from us. When they come, we could both attack the train together. But first, we must take their weapon and…..test how sharp and durable they are. We can't let the commander use any ordinary weapon.'"
"Right! Right!" The more behind her grinned with an evil smile as they looked in the direction where Mack and his team went.
"Then, should we attack them now…." The man asked again as he couldn't control the greed in his mind.
"Patience… I know how you feel. But we must be meticulous in our planning. Let's give them a couple of minutes for them to lower their guard. "
Really!!
The group nodded reluctantly as they waited patiently with their eyes fixed on the direction when Mack and his went ventured into.
"Let go,"
"Finally!" The chorus with bright smiles on their faces. Quickly, they disappeared from the half-destroyed building and followed in their prey's footsteps.
"Captain! Come and chest this out!" A voice cried in elation.
At once, Mack left his post and rushed toward the voice direction. When he arrived at the location, his eyes widened, and stared at the huge supplies with excitement.
"Pack everything and let's depart from this place as quickly as possible."
Aye!
As the men were packing their newfound supplies, they heard the sound of footsteps from the distance and halted their action. Everyone was still as they held their breath, waiting to see the intruder.
A tall bearded man with a rifle in his hand appeared at the top of the building with an evil smile on his face. 'Let's see who is stronger…. Your weapon or mine.'
Seeing the man with a rifle, Mack squinted his brow with a deep frown on his face. 'I knew it. This place was too quiet to be true
"Get in formation…" He commanded.
Creak!
A slight sound came from their west and a set of people appeared, fully armed. Seeing this, the temperature of the environment dropped a couple of degrees. Mack and his team looked at the intruder with solemn gazes.
"What do you want?" Mack shouted.
The men didn't utter a word as the smile on their faces deepened. Just when Mack wanted to ask once again, another set of people came from the other side of the street.
"What we need is very simple…" A woman in her early forties said with a bright smile. "Give us your weapon and surrender your life to us."
Hearing this, Mack didn't have any change in his expression. 'This feeling… She should be a Second Circle Existence.' He mused with the corner of his lips raised in disdain.
"If you want it, come and get it," Mack said confidently. Although he wasn't a second circle existence. He was already close to it and he could level up at any moment.
"Captain, I know they won't choose the easier route. Let's finish them once and for all before the other arrives." The man who was her vice said impatiently. He was also a Second Circle Existence but his ability was acquired while the woman was innate. Thus, making the woman stronger than him.
"Attack!" She commanded.
Bang!
The man with the rifle couldn't control his excitement as he released his shot immediately. Even though the man fired immediately, Mack and his team were already on guard against him.
Bang!
A young girl holding a rectangular shield like a roman soldier staggered a couple of steps back before she could regain her balance. Her face was ashen with a bead of sweat at the corner of her face. 'That was close!'
Seeing that the bullet was ineffective against their weapon, the morale of Mack and his men rose a couple of bars.
"Attack!" Mack shouted as he raised toward their captain.
The attackers were stunned for a couple of seconds as they couldn't believe how the young girl survived the bullet. Even though they were stunned, they recovered quickly when they saw Mack and his team rushing toward them.
Two sharp dagger materials into the hands of the woman as she rushed toward Mack with an evil grin. Her soul weapon was the two dagger which was extremely sharper than ordinary, making it easy for her to cut through any defense.
Whoosh!
Clank!
The daggers bounced off Mack's armor without leaving any dent in it. Seeing this, the woman widened her eyes with her mouth ajar while a wild grin appeared on Mack's face.
'This is an overkill' He screamed in his mind. He looked at the woman as if she was already dead.
"Shadow Earth Punch"
The air vibrated under the heavy punch and the woman's heart skipped a bit. 'How could his punch be this powerful.' She cried in her mind as she sucked in a cold breath.
Even though she was flabbergasted by the armor defense and Mack's power, she responded quickly and used her weapon to block the punch.
Boom!
Huh!
A groan escaped from her mouth as her intestine vibrated vehemently and a liquid rushed into her mouth. But she forcefully swallowed it. She looked at Mack with a dreadful expression. "We've underestimated our enemies…'
Ah! Ah! Ah!
A series of miserable cries came from the side as men fell to the ground with blood gushing out of their chests. And standing in front of them were men with shields and long spears.
