"We have less than twenty minutes left. Get ready." Joel said while John gave Wilson a pair of silver gauntlets and basic upper body leather armor, which he put on immediately. He simply pulled off his weather-worn shirt and wore the long sleeved leather shirt. It did not look like an armor at all."Damn. Dude is more ripped than you." Lee said, looking at muscular, grey haired Kong. Kong looked away, choosing to act as if he heard and saw nothing.John looked at Wilson and nodded. It was just as he thought. He and Wilson were using the exact same size. He looked at Wilson's shoes and immediately shook his head. Seems like escaping from a Snow Tiger really smokes one's shoes. He could not help but wonder how the shoes were still even able to cover his feet. Shouldn't they have fallen apart?He activated his space ring and brought out a pair of knee high shoes whose colors made it look like they were made of heavy metal. He extended the shoes to Wilson."Here, take this!"Wilson looked
"Song, estimated time?" King asked, whipping his head in Song's direction."t minus three minutes." Song answered."Alright. Everyone, listen up! Wolf leaders are prolly the most dangerous leaders because of their innately strong sense of....well, brethrenhood.." Kong started, his awkwardness when he said 'brethrenhood' made Lee chuckle. He continued."The late Great Jerry Chan's research states that they usually have telepathic or psychic powers. Or both. I can see thirty or so auras but they could very well be actually more or less, if there happens to be a clone ability there. There are snakes and birds but there are mostly quadrupedal beasts in their midst. Them having a wolf as their leader ensures that their ability to cooperate will be way higher than ours. So, the main goal right now is less about resistance and more about survival. We stick together and protect one another. No one goes farther than one and a half meters from the nearest person. One more thing, no matter what,
A blurry shadow whooshed past them and a bloodcurdlng, soul-wrenching noise rang out behind them before their brains could even begin to register what happened.The noise made them to look backwards but all they saw was a blurry image and when it was gone, all the people in that small area farther from the crowd than others, who amounted to at least seven people, were nowhere to be seen. They were gone, clothes and all. Nothing was left, not even the slightest drop of blood and the only thing that told Jim, Wilson, the teenager, his sister, father and grandfather that there was more to it than met the eye was the huge pawprints that were now on the broken tar road.The teenager boy was shaken beyond words and like every other normal person, his legs turned around and began to move in the opposite direction."Matt, stop!" The old man managed to gain his bearings in time and grabbed his grandson by the arm to prevent him from running away.Jim looked around and saw that the over hundred
Wilson's fist hit the gorilla's huge palm. A shockwave swept out from the impact, waking Jim from his daze.'What the hell was I thinking?' Jim immediately thought. How could he have so willing to die? He was still too young and even a virgin to boot. He had such a beautiful life ahead of him, why would he want to die in some nameless wilderness?He quickly retreated, increasing the distance between himself and Wilson. He looked around and perhaps because he was still a little too calm for someone who could die anytime, he noticed that most other one eyed beasts including the other monkeys, chimpanzees and a snow white baboon, avoided a certain range around the gorilla. He pulled the family away from the fight and stopped a little distance from the edge of that range. He looked at the monkey on the gorilla's shoulder that gripped tightly to the gorilla's fur and a thought came to mind.'What are the chances that the monkey had something to do with my willingness to accept death so eas
There was no suspense, Lane was eaten alive, half cooked by the flames from the hyenas.Wilson took another hit to he chest. The gorilla stepped forward and a raised a mighty foot. Its intentions were obvious. He was going to stomp Wilson's upper body to a mushy mess. Wilson willed the pain and exhaustion away and forcefully opened his eyes. This was not the time to feel sleepy. This is probably that little thing's doing.He opened his eyes and instantly noticed the skies above him was covered. 'What is that? A foot? Oh no!'Wilson rolled out of the way as quickly as he could.*Boom*The ground seemingly exploded when the gorilla's foot made contact with it. Water splashed on Wilson just as he was standing up. And then he froze. Unable to move. He saw the gorilla's huge palms coming for him from opposite directions.Is this the end? No. Why? Because the palms suddenly paused. They paused so abruptly, Wilson felt like time had stopped. Wait, did time really stop?The wolf leader leape
Jim, the old man and his family finally stopped running. They were panting and were too exhausted to go on. The old man wheezed and gasped as he fell face first on the snow with his butt slightly raised. He looked like he was a mouse that was being sent to the knackers. Jim stifled his urge to laugh and instead looked away."You know, you should not have abandoned your friend, right?" The middle aged man asked as he sat on the cold, hard snow. He, like the rest of his family was wasted both physically and mentally."Who? Wilson? Nah, he is not my friend." Jim was quick to deny it. He continued."He is an...um... acquaintance. An acquaintance born out of convenience and necessity. That's all.""Really? You guys seemed close. Like long time friends kind of close, you know." The little girl said."No, we are not. I already told you guys how we met, didn't I?" Jim said."Oh yeah, yeah, you did." The little girl's elder brother, Matt, was the one to answer. He paused, then continued; "You
"He said that, there were over twenty one-eyed beasts, among which he could sense the residual aura of strength-related ones, fire and acid. He said there might be speed related ones as well from certain signs in the distance. Of course, there were no actual visible prints so, I'm guessing what he saw has something to do with his ability.Anyway, back to what he said. He said that there was also certain signs of mental waves or something like that. I don't remember his exact words. But he also said something else...." She paused for effect."Come on, don't keep us in suspense." Bar pleaded."There was a travelling bag and that he could sense very strong residual ice ability aura from it. He said the beast was most likely already dead and because someone was stingy or careless enough to store it in a travelling bag, that must be why the aura leaked and invited the one-eyed beasts to the large group of travellers." The lady mercenary said and everyone sighed and shook their heads."So,
The soldier and Wilson entered the tent and walked directly into a small City. There were people around, food stalls, public toilets, entertainment houses and adminstrative offices, all tagged accordingly for easy identification."This is Tent City 201. If you want to know more, join the military. Follow closely." The solder said and entered a small building that was the only one without a tag, save for a warning that says 'Keep out!' Apparently, the person was too busy to make a more explanatory warning and so just pasted a generic keep out sign on the door.The door sign said 'keep out!' but the soldier entered and left the door open for Wilson, who entered without much thought.The place seemed desolate and as they walked further inside, their footsteps echoed as they stepped on the concrete floor.Later, after making several turns and entering through a couple doors, they finally arrived before a door that looked very different from all the other wood colored doo
