章節 55: We Are Fucking Dead
Ten minutes later...
*Huff* *Huff*
With huffing sounds coming out of Eddie's nostrils, he swung the iron sword at the last skeleton soldier's neck.
*Crunch*
*Clatter*
Then the pieces of bones fell to the ground with a clattering sound, signifying the end of the third horde of monsters at the right passageway.
There were no congratulating notifications from the system, rewards, or whatsoever.
The things Earthlings received were SP and their survival...
"Finally..."
"Ahh, my arm is so sore."
"Miss nurse, please take a look at my wound..."
"We won!!"
"Hooray..."
"We did it..."
And the last two things Earthlings received were new friendships and 'new hopes'...
A single human might be weak indeed, but when together, they were powerful, no doubt.
As they finally saw the fruitful results from their unification.
Feeling glad, they were...
After the fight, Mitchell finally called out to every combatant situating at the right passageway,
"Alright, guys. Listen to me, please."
"..."
"..."
Soon the cheering and complaining sounds died down...
"As we have just won another tough war, but it hasn't really ended yet. The people over there are still fighting. Thus, those of you, who can still hold a weapon and fight, follow after me."
Upon finishing his short speech, Mitchell and Eddie were the first ones to rush out.
Followed closely by more than ten people, they were ready for another fight...
Not long after, they reached behind those still-fighting people.
Currently, those ten people had been fighting with the leftover skeleton soldiers from Jeremy.
Well, the amount of those monsters were very few, with no more than a dozen skeleton soldiers and two imps. However, the fight was prolonged by some cowardly people such as Greedy Pig, Bad Mouther, and two aunties, namely Claire and Aylin.
That meant only six people really fought with the outlanders; those six were Bob, Joshua, Skylar, Thomas, Lucas, and William. They had to struggle a lot to fend off the monsters, while another four cowards only fought passively and timidly.
Suddenly...
"We've come to help."
"Take this, ugly skeleton!"
"Dieee..."
The reinforcements finally came to the rescue...
...
After a few minutes, every outlander within the chamber was finally dead...
When everyone saw no more monsters, they started cheering aloud in gratification for real.
This time no one would interrupt their cheers and shouts, so they did the deeds to their hearts' content.
"Hooray..."
"It ends for real, right?"
"Hahaha, that was easy."
"No one is dead..."
"Cheers!!"
"Woahhh!!"
The cheering and shouting sounds echoed out within the spacious chamber for some minutes...
As more than 30 people were shouting and jumping here and there, the situations were quite chaotic.
After everyone settled down, Mitchell started arranging people to clear the monster corpses littering on the ground.
They gathered all those corpses at a corner near the easy-difficulty door. At that corner, both outlander and Earthling corpses were stacking up on one another like an earthen mound.
Right after giving out the order to clear out the corpses, Mitchell suddenly looked around as if to find someone.
Indeed, he was looking for a certain someone, which was currently nowhere to be seen.
With a confusing look plastered on his face, Mitchell walked towards Joshua, whom was gathering bones up from the ground.
"Joshua..." Asked Mitchell towards the crouching Joshua.
When Joshua had heard the sudden call from someone, he raised his head up in curiosity,
"Oh, yeah? What's the matter, Mitchell?"
"Do you know where he is?" Asked Mitchell.
After hearing Mitchell's question, Joshua got confused,
"He? Who are you talking about?"
Seeing his companion's confusion, Mitchell clarified while looking around one more time to find Jeremy,
"I mean, Mister Jeremy. Do you see him? Cuz I don't see him anywhere."
Upon hearing the question asking about Jeremy's whereabouts, Joshua blinked his eyes a few times.
Then he frowned and thought back to the fight scene earlier...
...
Flashback...
"Some of them are coming this way. Be prepared!" Shouted the middle-aged man, Lucas, who was holding a long iron spear.
"Get ahold of yourself, fatty bitch. If you dare turn back and run, I will follow and penetrate your asshole with my knife." William, who looked like a street thug, threatened Angelo, aka Greedy Pig.
"Bastard! Like I fear you." Replied Angelo angrily.
"Alright, that's enough, both of you. Don't you see that?" Joshua interrupted them and pointed his finger at the incoming skeleton soldiers and two imps.
"Hold your positions!" Bob shouted for everyone to hear.
Then...
*Bam*
*Thump*
*Crunch*
The fight broke out as everyone was focusing on the opponents in front of them.
While the skeleton soldiers tried to breach through the wooden barricades, the people from behind those barricades would attack and prevent them from coming through.
While the two imps were flying annoyingly left and right, trying to stab the careless ones with their tails.
The fight commenced erratically as nobody cared about Jeremy, whom was fighting alone at the passageway's entrance at all.
After a few minutes passed...
*Creaks*
*Bam!*
With the sounds akin to a door being closed rang out, Joshua, who had just finished killing a skeleton soldier, turned his head towards the sounds' direction but saw nothing out of the ordinary.
Then Joshua raised his shield to fend off an imp's attack...
The life-and-death fight continued...
Flashback ended...
...
After finishing his recollection, Joshua looked directly at Mitchell's eyes and replied,
"I think I know somehow..."
"Where is he?" Asked Mitchell in wonder, not expecting any good result in the first place.
Then Joshua raised his right index finger and pointed it towards the doors' direction. He then said,
"He should be there... behind one of those doors."
*Sigh*
After Mitchell had heard those words, he couldn't help but sigh and shook his head slightly.
"I see. Thank you, Joshua. You did a good job earlier. See you later."
"You too. See ya."
After saying his farewell to Joshua, Mitchell walked towards Eddie, whom was boasting his heroic fight against the monsters to a woman in her late 20s, Skylar.
"Earlier I swung like this and 'Bam'; one skeleton soldier broke into pieces. After that, I slashed like 'Whoosh', then another skeleton soldier's body was 'Crunch'; it was..."
"You sure have so much free time, huh."
Mitchell's voice suddenly interrupted Eddie in mid-speech, causing the latter to stop his boasting promptly.
Upon seeing a savior finally came to rescue her, Skylar nodded her head slightly with a smile towards Mitchell before using this chance of distraction to escape from Eddie.
"What are you doing here? Don't you see that I'm... No. Wait, please, beautiful Skylar... No..." Eddie ended his talk with a saddened tone, like he would start crying after being dumped by his girlfriend.
When Mitchell saw such a sight, he could only shake his head in helplessness...
"Ah, glasses idiot. Do you know what you've just done? And you still dare shake your head at me. Haaa... You are incredible."
"I'm incredible? Oh ho... You are the one to talk huh."
"Fuck you."
"Fuck you, too."
After cursing at one another to vent out some air, Eddie started to talk business in annoyance,
"Enough bullshits. Why do you interrupt me? I hope it's something important."
With a hint of resignation within his eyes, Mitchell replied while looking at Eddie's stupid face,
"Of course, it is important. There is a big problem, Jeremy had gone into one of those two doors... already."
"For real? Da hell. He doesn't feel tired or something, does he?"
"I also think the same."
However, even after hearing about Jeremy went into a door, Eddie still didn't get it,
"Then what?"
"Then what, you say... Why don't you use your brain for a bit? Do you still have a brain, by the way?" Answered Mitchell as he rolled his eyes to the back of his head.
Then with an 'I don't get it' written on his face, Eddie spoke again,
"Aiz... I don't know, okay? Just tell me already. I still have something to do."
It would be more credible if Eddie's eyes weren't staring hornily at a particular woman whom looked quite young and pretty at some distance away.
After hearing those words, Mitchell spoke back with a trace of sarcasm-containing voice,
"The something you are talking about is another woman, aren't you?"
*Cough* *Cough*
"Ahemm... I, emm... Okay, I give up. So, tell me. How does Jeremy go into one of those doors affect us?"
Shaking his head slightly at Eddie's stupidity, Mitchell asked back,
"Then let me ask you this. What will happen to us if Jeremy cannot come out in time before the next one or two waves? Or if he never comes out then..."
"Fuck! We are fucking dead!!"
Eddie cursed aloud after the sudden realization of their current predicament...
...
After finishing his talk with Eddie, Mitchell shouted aloud for everyone to hear,
"Alright, everyone, let's clear the place fast. After that, we will group up at the same place to talk about other things."
Upon hearing Mitchell's short speech, everyone started working on the outlander's corpses and bones at a quicker pace.
Except for the Cassanova bachelor, Eddie, of course...
