Chapter 22
(Unedited)
…
Inside a dilapidated two-story house three people are huddled together in front of a small bonfire. Meanwhile, another figure is standing near a window while looking outside and watching the scenery.
"This place was once a beautiful suburb, but everything is now in ruins," I muttered under my breath.
It only takes a year before everything turned out like this in the H city. Before, I never would have expected to see such a scene where people are lawless and rampant. When I experienced it for the first time, I thought that people are not like those crazy brats.
However, now my eyes have been opened thoroughly, and could see the real ugliness of humans. Many would grab the chance to exert their authority to others when given a chance, and it truly disgusts me.
As I look outside the windows, I soon noticed the sun rising driving out the darkness that's covering the surroundings.
I then shifted my gaze and found the three women already sleeping while still hurdled together.
I didn't ask them for their names, as I did not need to know who they are. I just wanted to get this over with and continue with my mission.
As I recalled my memory, I have already gotten an idea of where to find my first target, Lin Ting.
Ever since he graduated from high school, he's been playing a gangster boss in this city. He is the leader of a huge gang and is backed by his family, the Ling clan.
As I watch the sun slowly rose up, I began packing my belonging. When I was about to go out of the house, I heard a low voice coming from one of the women.
"Wait… Please… wait…" she called in a weak voice.
She was the one who was raped by that fat bastard last night. It seems that she was able to recover her consciousness.
"I can't take care of the three of you forever. You have to learn how to fend for yourselves." I said with a stern voice.
"We… I… don't know how?... Then… then please help us… Teach us… please…" she said still with a weak tone and I could even feel her helplessness.
I knew that if I leave them, then these three girls would be at the mercy of those who are lawless and ruthless. But I am not someone who is good at helping people. I have my own problems and do not have time for playing nanny.
So without turning my back, I just shook my head and was about to take a step out of the door.
"Then… then let me follow you. I won't be a burden. I just… Sob… Sob… I just want to get out of this hell…" the woman cried.
Her two companions were awoken by her and slowly sat up and saw my figure standing by the door.
"Are… are you leaving us?" one of them asked.
My mind is now a mess.
"I did not have time to do this…" I thought as I gritted my teeth.
However, my heart feels suffocated as I imagine the ending of these three women. But I also know that there are many women in this place who are also suffering, should I also help them then? This is a bit absurd, I am no hero, I just want to get my revenge and get it over with.
While my mind is reeling with my decision, a wizen voice came into my memory.
"I helped you because it is the thing that I could do…" Old Grandpa said to me on time when I asked him why he helped me.
He has many reasons, but this simple reason which I did not expect to be important is something that suddenly came to my mind.
"It is something that I could do…" I may not be able to help others, but right now, I can help these girls.
I have the power to save them.
"Sigh… Alright, I will try to teach you how to fend for yourselves. If you wanted to survive, then fight. If you wanted to be alive, then learn how to fight." I said as I turn around and close the door.
I will teach them survival skills and self-defense. After that, I will leave this place and continue with my plans.
As I enter the door, I suddenly felt that something is wrong. Then I quickly jump to the ground towards the three women.
Using my Qi I covered my body and the three with energy.
Bang! Bang! Bratatatat!
The sound of rapid gunfire echoed through the air as people began shooting at us from outside of the house.
Aieeee!!! AHHHH!!!
The three women began shrieking out loud as they hug my body tightly. My mind immediately began to work as I saw the corner of the stairs.
"Crawl! We have to enter the stairs." I said in a low voice.
I noticed that two of the women have their eyes closed and are still in a state of fear. The other one with brown hair is only the only one who is looking at me. Although she is listening to me, I could also see the fear in her eyes.
"Follow me…" I said as I began dragging the two women in my arms as I lay flat on the ground and using my legs pushes my body towards the stairs.
The brown-haired woman crawled flat on the ground as she too enters the stairs.
I then noticed that there is a small compartment which is very inconspicuous. With my strength, I was able to lift the heavy object covering the small door of the compartment.
"Get inside now!" I said as I push the women one by one.
I noticed that it was a small storage room that the owner of the house built to store a large amount of food. As I scanned the small room I noticed that on the side of the wall, there are flashlights. There is a long wooden stair leading down the small storage room.
"Get those and don't make any noise. And don't use it to light explore this place, just use it to light your space… Wait for me in here." I said as I slowly close the small door.
I then put back the large and heavy object which is blocking the small wooden door.
The gunfire outside has already stopped and I immediately tried to spread my senses. I could hear some footsteps coming towards the house. Judging from the sound, there seem to be around 10 people.
I quickly move out of the stairs and quickly reached the kitchen. From there I could see some of the tablewares and some small knives.
These things are useless that's why people did not take them. However, I am glad that I have those things in this place. At least I have my own weapon now.
I quickly grab a whole bunch of them and put them in my pocket. Then I stealthily walk towards a corner while waiting for my first target to appear.
Using my sharp hearing, I could feel two people approaching me in the 12 o'clock direction. I did not hesitate and quickly takes out two table wares from my pocket. In my hands, I now hold a spoon and a fork. I almost smile upon thinking that I am going to eat someone.
Then without hesitation, I darted to the side and then fling the two objects towards my targets.
I watch the objects fly towards two people who are wearing plain colored T-shirts while carrying semi-automatic rifles. Their hair is dyed with yellow and green which made them look like some gangster in the street.
The spoon and fork penetrated their necks and hit the spine at the back of their necks making them tilt their heads upwards.
I did not hesitate and quickly darted towards the two falling figures as I grab the semi-automatic rifles from their hands.
Before they fell to the ground, I quickly pointed the muzzle of one of the rifles and pointed it to the person who suddenly came out from the door coming from the living room.
Already at my sight, that person did not have time to dodge, as I press the trigger.
Bang!
With one shot, the bullet flew towards that man's forehead blasting his forehead open.
Then the other muzzle of the gun, I pointed it towards the window where I saw someone suddenly popping out and was about to lift his gun to shoot inside.
Bang!
The bullet flew towards that person's mouth as he was shouting something in the air.
I rolled to the ground and quickly ran towards the living room.
When those two shots echoed through the house, the rest of the gang members outside were alarmed. I could hear them shouting.
"Shot! Open fire! Someone in that house has a gun!"
When I heard those words, I knew that they are going to rain bullets once again inside the house. So without hesitation, I quickly ran towards the stairs and went to the second floor.
As soon as I reached the second floor, the sound of gunfire broke the silence once again. Bullets began to rain inside the house which immediately turns the walls into hives.
I did not have time to bother with anything as I quickly darted towards the windows of the second floor.
My goal is to jump outside through that window from the second floor to dodge the rain of bullets on the first floor.
