Chapter 9: Splitting like the red sea
Sorry about the issue, I proofread the whole chapter and it never happened to me, but still, I fixed the issue but there may be some problems. But if you find any issues just add a comment and I'll fix it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hearing the domineering shout, the people closest to Cei recoiled back slightly intimidated by his domineering figure.
And seeing that the crowd had been successfully intimidated, Cei took an internal sigh of relief. He had been worried for a second there, however, seeing he was successful he continued with his little act.
And slowly proceeded to open the chamber of his gun and slowly emptied the chambers of his revolver causing the sound of shells hitting the floor to ring out clearly in the silence. However, even despite seeing him with an empty gun nobody dared to make a move, they were all still extremely intimidated by the scene that had just occurred moments ago. And his actions now only further enhanced the feeling of intimidation he was excluding.
As he leisurely reloaded each of the six chambers, as if the crowd was not even present, however, to the crowd they felt as if he was taking excruciatingly long, as if goading them to attack him. Making the crowd's nerves as taut as steel.
The tension of the crowd was almost palpable after Cei had finished reloading his gun, however, he knew that if he pushed the crowd any further than this then he would be in a dangerous situation. So he slowly took a step towards the crowd, while playing with the revolver in one hand. But as he moved an almost laughable scene occurred, as with each step Cei took the crowd backed off slightly.
Inwardly he was grinning watching the scene occur, however, all the crowd saw was his face as cold as ice with a slight hint of disdain, as if the crowd was nothing but a bunch of insignificant insects before him. And then, as he was barely 5 meters from the crowd. An almost magical scene occurred, as the sea of people suddenly parted like Moses splitting the red sea. But Cei seemed unfazed as if it was only natural that the crowd parted for him.
But just as he had entered the tunnel formed by the crowd, he noticed that someone was moving towards him and internally he couldn't help but smile noticing that it seemed to be a zombie. And so he stood still and began to smile, a little amused by the zombie that was moving towards him. And naturally, this change did not escape from the attention of the crowd as their gaze turned towards the zombie who was moving towards Cei, and suddenly everyone seemed to move away from the 'man' who seemed to be taking a stand against the tyrannical Cei.
And as the zombie was inching ever closer to Cei, suddenly a change occurred as it suddenly broke into a sprint while roaring at Cei. However, an amused smile still lay on his face as he continued to wait for the zombie to get as close as possible before he tilted his body away from the zombie's and placed his foot before the zombie's stumbling legs. And the following scene was something the crowd would never forget.
As with the zombie being tripped and falling to the ground like a sack of potatoes, Cei leisurely walked up to its body which was sprawled on the floor before placing his foot on the back of its head and firing four shots into its body all of which being roughly where the heart was located.
The crowd was absolutely stunned by his ruthlessness, the thought of being so close to this stone-cold killer terrified the crowd. However, this thought was immediately forgotten as the next scene shocked everybody present to their core.
The 'man' who had been shot in the chest four times suddenly started struggling to get up and Cei happily obliged and removed his foot from his head. But what shocked the crowd was how the man was completely unaffected by the four gunshot wounds in his chest, and once he was on his feet, once again began chasing Cei like a man possessed while roaring unnaturally. And at this point, it was painfully obvious to the crowd that something was wrong with the situation, as nobody in the crowd could ever hope to survive that many gunshots, let alone get up and run around immediately after.
However, this bizarre scene didn't last long as Cei had achieved what he wanted too and tripped the zombie again before unloading two shots into the zombie's skull. Before it suddenly stopped moving and lay sprawled out on the concrete, and although another man lay dead on the floor the crowd's attention was not on Cei but the man who lay face down on the cold concrete.
But the crowd was suddenly broken out of their reverie by the sound of Cei's footsteps, and they couldn't help but remember the situation that they were in. And with the scene, just moments before still fresh in their minds every single movement of Cei seemed to exclude an air of superiority and intimidation.
And so with the surroundings eerily quiet Cei slowly moved out from within the crowd, with an almost reverential Aeni following behind him with almost visible awe in her eyes.
And once he knew that he had they had successfully left the crowd, and the distance between them continued to increase. Cei slightly relaxed, as it had been extremely stressful maintaining his domineering attitude before the crowd, however, he knew that he made the right decision. Because he knew that if he didn't intimidate the crowd there was a large chance he and Aeni would've been mobbed by the crowd.
But now that he had successfully moved through the riot and was largely out of danger, he couldn't help but relax slightly, However, he knew that he had to maintain his vigilance as he continued to move further and further away from the downtown area.
-------------------------------------
[The riot, moments after Cei and Aeni had left]
Seeing that the monster in human skin was gradually moving further from the crowd, the tension in the air gradually decreased. And with some people even wanting to continue rioting, however, a lot of people couldn't help but recall the scene just moments ago. They were all overcome with a deep sense of unease when they recalled it, with nothing seeming to make much sense.
And even now, they were still astounded at how that man had taken four shots to the chest and yet he didn't even make a grunt of pain. With just a few moments in between, before he rose to his feet and continued as if nothing had occurred, with Nothing about this scene making sense. Be it the man's lack of response or his almost miraculous survival, or his erratic behaviour and odd roars. Though while watching the scene it seemed to escape most people's attention as they were caught up in the heat of the moment.
And even now as they began to recall the scene, there were still several things that didn't seem to make sense. For instance, even during the whole duration of the fight it never seemed as if the man was even trying to strike the murderer, neither did he raise his fist to punch. But now that they thought about it, they seemed to realise that the man seemed to be lunging at the murderer in an attempt to bite the murderer.
And as soon as this idea came to their heads, some of the people present couldn't help but break out into cold sweat, as a new possibility suddenly sprouted in their minds. And just as some people began to contemplate this possibility and were preparing to leave they all heard a shout, that drew their attention. And everyone's gaze couldn't help but gravitate towards a certain young man, as he stood proudly on top of a bright red car.
"Listen up!" Said the man.
"Do none of you think the situation we just witnessed was weird. I'm sure some of the smarter people in the crowd already know what I'm talking about." he continued with a passionate voice.
"But to everyone else in the crowd, you can't tell me that after witnessing what we just witnessed moments ago. And then looking at the sight of the sky above, that you don't think that something is deeply wrong with the situation in this city right now." the man continued in an almost preaching voice. But then his voice suddenly changed, as his tone suddenly became grave as he continued.
"And if even half of you agree with what I'm saying, then you know that right now we are all in extreme danger. And that is why I'm speaking to you now as if even some of you agree with what I'm saying then you will follow me. And we can survive together, as right now if we continue what we are doing, I can't see any other ending than everyone's death." Everyone gasped at his statement, but nobody interrupted, as he looked over the whole crowd with a scrutinising gaze.
"Anyway, I've said my piece, and my hope is that anyone who agrees with me will come and follow after me. But as for the rest of you, I will repeat the same warning and tell all of you that you are all in extreme danger." And with that said the man walked out from the crowd, with a large group of people following in his direction, as they made their way from the still raging riot.
