"Die!" Pipe man snapped with veins protruding from his forehead. Although his mental power had almost completely drained and overusing it would hurt him. But now, he didn't care as he attack the horde with fury.
Suddenly, a flashed of lightning came from the distance illuminating the hidden statement, forcing the hordes to halt their attack.
"Lightning world" A sweet cold voice echoed in the underground settlement.
Boom!
Everywhere the lighting flash through was left in rubbles. Screams! The previous dominating hordes were shocked to their core as they quickly look for cover.
When the lightning attack finally disappeared, some hordes were burnt to crisp. A cold lady dressed in purple appeared at the center of the battle with a long whip in hand with sparkling lighting.
"Why would you risk your life without reporting back to the base." Nika and the others heard Susan cold voice and lowered their gaze.
"200 points from your contribution points." She added coldly.
What!
Nika team widened their eyes and couldn't believe what just happened. They have all paid for their action why must the cold beauty deduct their points. Some of them wanted to cry but were too injured to do so.
Jackson and Addison didn't have any expression on their faces as they weren't affected.
"Miss Susan…"Nika tried to pleaded but when he saw her expression he swallow the word at the tip of his tongue.
"Those that are able to move should help the others while I deal with them." Susan moved towered the hordes as her whip cackles.
Ah! Ah!
The miserable screamed of the horde filled the settlement, sending shivers toward the heart of the humans. She didn't killed the hordes directly but beaten to a pup. Blood splashed everywhere with mangled fleshes.
"Can you tell me where other settlements is?" Susan looked at the trembling horde with expressionless gaze.
"Yes… P-please…please don't beat me again with that weapon." The horde said with a trembling voice.
Susan didn't bat an eyes at the horde and left to looked for the others. Nika and the others had regain some of their strength and began to ransack the hideout.
All the prisoners were released however th prisoners still raised this guards against them. Although they were both humans, they never trust them.
The prisoner gathered in one corner and watch Nika and his team.
"Captain…" A voice came from the distant.
At once, Nika raised his head and looked at the voice direction. He saw Robert bringing a frail woman.
"This is the woman we first discover and she said knew where their starch house was." Robert announced with a wild grin.
Hearing this, everyone looked at the miserable woman with new gaze. Although they could still see some fear in her eyes, they recognized her as some one worth saving.
"What's your name?" Susan asked with woman.
"Leah…" Leah answers with hoarse voice with dry blood at the corner of her lips.
"Are they your people?" She pointed to the prisoner.
"Not all of them. Some are here before I arrived while some joined us."
"If you don't have anywhere to go…. You can ask your people who are willing to follow us to join us. And if not, you're free to leave, we wont' stop you." With that, Susan left for the secret store room.
Leah stood rooted to the spot and looked at the back side of the Susan. After a couple of second, she sighed and looked at the scared prisoners and walked toward them.
In an underground building, a big metallic door stood separately, giving an intimidating feeling.
"What the fuck is this door made off." Robert grumbled. They had tried various mean to force the door opened but the door won't bulged.
"Let Miss Susan deal with it." Pipe man said.
"Deal with what?" Susan voice came from behind.
"The door won't open…" Nika responded.
Bang! Boom!
The strong metallic door was sent flying with dust rising in the sky.
Cough! Cough!
The people around the door took a couple of steps back and looked at grievance. 'Cant' you tell us to retreat before you attack the door.' They complained in their heart but none voice their thought.
Susan noticed their gaze but didn't care. She remember the warning from Justin and knew not to joke with it. When the dust settled, a huge room came to their view, filled with row of shelves.
For a couple of seconds, everywhere stared at the huge store room not sure of what to make of the room. The room was filled with various materials. They could identify some while they couldn't identify most.
"Start packing. We arenn't leaving anything behind." Susan voice woke the people from their stupor.
"We're going to need the help of those prisoner if we need to…" Nika looked at Susan only to see her leaving.
Robert looked at the cold Susan and shook his head. Since they joined the Genesis, they had only speak once and it was brief. No one would believe they were once the Five Royals from the top university in the city and their families control the country. Thinking of this, Robert let out a deep sigh.
Outside, Lead was speaking with some of the prisoner while some didn't bother listening to her as they move far away from her.
Since their previous experience in trusting human, none of them wanted to experience the inhuman torture in the hands of their enemies once again because they trust the wrong person.
"Have you decided?" Susan appeared behind Leah.
A bittersweet expression appeared on Leah's face as she turned to look at Susan.
"Most of them chose to leave separately…" she shook her head. "Only these people are close to me and thus decided to follow you…" her voice trail off not knowing how to complete the sentences.
"With my power, do you think I need to play some childish trick in other to use." Susan scoffed in disdain. "Besides, without power, you're mostly useless. No one would accept you."
Hearing this, the expression of the face of the prisoner turned unsightly. However, none of them dare to retort to her statement.
"You can leave now." Susan commanded those that refuse to join them.
Hearing this, the prisoners stood rooted for a couple of second before an old man rush out of the underground building. The other waited for a couple of second but nothing to him. Thus they rush after him with bright smiles on their faces.
A couple of minute later, a group of people came out of the hidden tunnel. In front of the group was lady dressed in purple.
To the north of their position was many footprint. The group didn't need to be told to know who were the owner of the footprint.
'B-big… sister.' An unsightly looks appeared on Susan face.
'Little sister… are you ok.' Kira asked through their soul link.
'I'm fine. We need some people to assist us. Some of the people are injured while we have some loots.'
'Good. Why don't you tell the king.'
'You know why…'
'Alright, I will send Mack and 20 defense team.'
Kira had been surveying the surrounding since Susan depart into the hidden tunnel. She was the backup plan if everything went south. But it seems everything was going according to plan.
'Justin, Susan is back but they need more men to support those injured. Also, some men are need to carry the load from their loots.'
'Be careful… tell them to leave that location quickly. I will send the men immediately.'
At the top of her mount, Kira expression changed when she heard Justin warning. At once, she told Susan to leave immediately.
Susan group were moving slowly as most of them were injure while carrying heavy loads. Lead lead her people with worry expression as they saw the endless dunes. With their current body, they didn't know how long they are going to last under the deadly scotching sun.
"Something is coming." Addison muttered with a dreadful expression.
'Susan hurry up. Justin said you should leave the location immediately.'
Hearing this, Susan cold expression changed and a slight frown appeared on her face.
"Where do you feel it." Susan turned to Addison and asked.
"That side" She pointed to their south.
Top in the air, Kira saw a powerful sandstorm rushing toward a certain direction. Seeing this, the expression on her face changes.
'This is bad. This is bad.' She cried in her mind.
'Susan, I think the hordes battalion are coming. Run.' Susan heard Kira scream in her head.
Inside the train, Justin stood up from his study table and looked at the south.
'So it finally starting.' He mused, tapping the table gently.
Mack and twenty defense team rushed out of the ark with their top speed.
"Merab follow mack and his men and support them from behind." Merab heard Justin voice and stood up from her seat and rushed out of the ark.
Seeing various, powerful people rushing out the ark, the people knew something big was about to happened.
'You and Susan should buy those injured some time and welcome our friends with open arms.'
