Capítulo 1: Remove him
Please be reminded that there will, probably, awkward english (I've been reading MTL's these days and proper english seems so broken for me.... I've been stuck in this misery that it also affected my essay, article and notes writing.), typo grammatical error and so many more. Please do point it out if you see it though. Thanks, lovies!
P. S: English isn't my native, it's my second one. Sorry for holding you here...hehehe....

"How many are there, Muiren?" The man whispered to the other man who was kneeling at the ground and feeling it. His glance goes back and forth from the man to the surrounding. He's quite wary that a mutated beast will jump out of nowhere.
"A horde. 11..13..15, there are 15 infectee and one abhorrent." The man who was kneeling, slowly stood and held his clutch tightly to support himself. He dusted his hand and walked back to the camp.
"Fuck, that's a lot. There's an abhorrent too, how will we get to the pharmacy at this rate?" Cassidy bit his lip. The pharmacy he's talking about isn't the same pharmacy back in the normal days. The pharmacy they are going to is a place where new medicine and old medicine were being made, it's a huge building and land owned by the SHIELD.
"Hmm... it's indeed bothersome. I'll report this to Jungshik right away." Fang Muiren used his clutch to feel the door, quietly knocking into it. Hearing a wooden sound he walked to it and lightly touched it for the doorknob.
Click. He was about to enter when Cassidy held his arm. He looks back frowning.
"I'll do it. You're injured, you should take rest and...just rest, okay? I'll handle it and I don't...think it's really a good idea to en—wait!" Before he can even finish his words, Fang Muiren disappears without a hitch. Cassidy stomps his feet in frustration, running his hands through his sticky hair, he slumps to the ground.
Looking at the opened door and empty hallway, he can tell a fight would break out in a minute or so. Making his mind, he immediately shifts into his first form, a white cat. He knows he can't outrun Fang Muiren whose second ability is speed but at least this would save much more time.

"THAT MAN IS A LIABILITY! HE'S BLIND! AND OLD! You're willing to get rid of Long Xiuran but not him?!"
A loud youthful voice of a woman welcomed Fang Muiren when he reached the meeting room, using his ability he could picture a 157 cm woman slamming her hand at the table. She has short, fuzzy, curly hair due to lack of shower, square face with thick eyebrows making her seem always angry and fierce.
Beside her is a young lady around 18 -19 years old, crying silently.
Fang Muiren stands quietly outside, just spectating the chaos inside. There are 6 people inside, 10 are missing. 7 of them are sleeping and the last 3 are scouting the area and finding some supplies. He frowned as a familiar pain assaulted his knees up to his waist.
"Watch your tone, Alice. I may remind you, that 'liability' man you're re talking about— survive the pandemic then the apocalypse for more than a decade! He was already surviving on his own ever since this fucking shit start! Plus he's blind!"
A short man with a bald head, probably aging from the late middle 50's, walked up to the woman and spoke her in a suppressed voice. He is slightly shorter than the woman but it doesn't deter his intimidating aura at all.
"Muiren could probably survive for more years than you, he's just blind but definitely not a liability like you. You don't know how important he is to the group, do you? He's our mapper, detector and advisor. We've been together for more than a decade to know how good he is in his job. Unlike you, a brat who's i don't know how many brain cells are using!"
Hearing that Fang Muiren can't help but tugged his lips. The man speaking for him is one of the very few people who really trust him, his decision and his abilities. He met him, Emelito Pablo, 11 years ago inside a mall. 5 years after the 'apocalypse' began.
He was wandering aimlessly and struggling to survive. At that time, his abilities were only beginning to blossom, he developed first the skill [Sixth Sense] before evolving to [Heightened Senses], which Heightened his senses and enabled him to 'see'. The skill is something connected to him being blind, having a deadly instinct is must for him who settled near a crime prone area.
Emelito was a solo tourist who got stuck here because his flight back to home was suspended ever since the pandemic started and got lockdown before the apocalypse. He was on a grocery when it happened and somehow got stuck, well he chose to since the mall's supply can sustain them.
When the two met, it was when Emelito and his group decided to venture out again because the supply on their side was continuously getting small. Two of their members, decided that it is time to betray them and lure out zombies then leave them.
As he was passing by, he was almost mistaken for a zombie and got his head smashed by a racket. Thankfully, he manages to step aside and counter attack. after a while of proving that he is indeed human not some man eating zombies, they let their suspicion go. Eventually, while travelling and rummaging some stores in the mall, Emilito proposed to team up with him.
He was told he had pretty good skills and in exchange to that they'll help him.
He doesn't need nor want anything but he still says yes, as he is the first person to sincerely want him in their group, of course the remaining members have no protest after seeing his skills. That marks their lifelong journey to survival for 11 years.
"Yow! Mr. Emilito, hold up there! I contribute a lot in this group! If it weren't for my power last time do you think, you will survive?! I may only be 20, but I sure know my way!"
"Heh. Then, thank you Savior Alice, for saving my life when you're the one who put me there because of your stupid ideas! thank you! You really thought you could ambush an Abhorrent? Even I, a veteran of this whole shit can't do that! Can the captain do that? No! Can he? No!"
Emilito feels his chest rising and falling. This egoistic brat will be the death of him!
True. Alice is really talented, having the ability to control lightning and bending things at her will. Her precise control amazes her especially when she can use a whip inserted with lightning energy to swat him away without burning him.
But as he said, she has talents but not enough experience with a big ego! and who is she calling old?! All of them are pretty old here! especially their captain!
"Lito, stop. Please. We're not removing anybody here, Alice. Muiren is part of the core, even if it's you, you cannot remove him nor replace him. And about Xiuran, I'm sorry but we won't tolerate anyone who uses us for their personal gains without even profiting us. Long Xiuran is.... impulsive, rude, egoistic, violent, and a pathological liar. Sister or not, we can't accept her."
Fang Muiren could mould the expression of Alice, flat lined lips, fierce eyes with tears ready to fall, all in all she looked wronged. She looked at the girl besides her, Xiuran, the girl shook her head then proceeded to do some water work again. Sighing, he decided to knock then enter without waiting for the answer. His appearance startled Alice, making her look away and sat on her seat sulkily.
"Muiren..." Fang Muiren shakes his head at Emilito, he has no time for that, there is more concerning things than this.
"Captain, I have something to report to you."
