Chapter 42

Sebastian woke up at 4 o clock and climbed out of the tent as he equipped his katanas. The teen walked with a steady tempo towards the main gate seeing Captain Nikuya arriving just now.

Nikuya: Morning Sebastian your early.

Sebastian: Better to be early than late Captain.

Nikuya: You got manners, your on time and strong you must have girls throwing themselves at you she giggled softly.

Sebastian: I wouldn't know i don't talk to people with much emotion other than my group.

Nikuya looked around seeing no one was close as she moved closer to him and then caressed his face softly and then placed a finger on his lips.

Nikuya: I find that cold mysterious front very alluring mister Topaz it make's me want to find out whats underneath~

she sent him a flirty smile.

Sebastian looked down at her gloved finger on his lips and then opened his mouth and gave the finger a little bite causing Nikuya to gasp softly and looked the teen in the eye's. Sebastian leaned a bit forward and whispered in Nikuya's ear.

Sebastian: You shouldn't tease someone if you are not ready to be teased your self Captain~

He said in a husky tone as bite Nikuyas ear lobe and then stood up straight again.

He saw Nikuya had a blush on her face and then she turned around noticing the other squad members walking up to the gate. She cleared her throat and shook her head to clear the blush.

Sebastian chuckled softly and then looked at the soldiers seeing there was 15 soldiers.

Nikuya: You ready to head out?

All the soldiers nodded at their Captain. Just as they nodded a military grade truck rolled up in front of them.

Nikuya: Lets move out!

Random Solider: A guy can get use to this type of encouragement ever time we go out he smirked.

Random Solider 2: We do it to claim areas back so the city can expand,of course they encouraging us.

Random Solider 3 : Plus its gonna be easy i heard from my friend that the ghoul's are easy to kill we shouldn't worry at all.

Sebastian: Have any of you personally seen a ghoul in person?

His tone was devoid of emotions.

Random Solider: No but like my friend here said they are easy.

Sebastian just kept quiet and used observe on the three soldiers. All three of them were level 30 on the dot.

Random Solider: Plus we are level 30 so there is nothing that can kill us he bragged.

Random Solider 1: Names Jim Break he had short spiky black hair and green eyes he appeared to be 17

Random Solider 2: Matt Brave he had long brown hair that reached his shoulders and had dark blue eyes he appeared to be 16

Random Solider 3: Rex Tusk he had bright orange hair that was in a man bun and had brown eyes he appeared to be 18

Random Solider 2: What level are you buddy?

Just as Sebastian was going to answer the truck stopped and they were in front of the main wall gate.

Gate Guard: Captain how long is your expedition going to take?

Nikuya: A week

Gate Guard: We await for your return he nodded and shouted for the gate to open.

As the truck drove out Sebastian looked at the city in the back and saw the gates closing. The drive was quiet for some time Sebastian guessed it was 40 minutes until the truck suddenly stopped and they could hear the door open as the captain stood outside and shouted.

Nikuya: Everyone out we walking from here.

All the soldiers climbed out and when they did they saw that they were in a desolate highway, cars were broken down and still burning causing smoke to rise in the sky.

Jim: Captain why are we here? Arnt we supposed to be in a jungle?

Nikuya: The jungle is 10 km away from here and we store the truck here so our vehicle doesn't get damaged or stolen.

Nikuya: Now move out she turned around and started to jog away the soldiers looked at each other and jogged after the captain.

The squad ran for 10 minuets when the arrived at the off ramp and saw a small town right next to the highway.

Nikuya: Everyone i want you to split up and raid the town before we carry on.

Matt: Yo dude join us!

Sebastian looked behind him and saw Matt, Jim and Rex standing there. Sebastian nodded his head and walked with them.

Nikuya: I want everyone to meet up at the exit of the town in 40 minuets then we carrying on to the Jungle copy that?

Everyone: YES CAPTAIN!

The separate mini squad split up and Sebastian found himself in front of a deserted hospital.

Jim: Aint this hospital a bit big for a small town like this.

Rex: They probably made a lot of money he shrugged.

Sebastian: Well lets raid it hopefully there is some medical equipment and medicine left.

Jim: Yeah but those stuff are already back in the city so why would we need more.

Sebastian shook his head and walked in the hospital when he walked in he muttered to himself.

Sebastian: These people have really never been out in the world.

One team members ears twitched and looked at Sebastian back as the the group followed him in. Once inside the three friends gagged and held a hand over their mouth. A horrendous smell penetrated their nostrils.

Matt: What is that

He gagged and turned to look outside.

Right in the middle of the lobby were dead bodies everywhere flies and any other insect were flying around the corpses that started to decay,blood were splashed everywhere.

Sebastian rested his hand on the handle of his sword and he slowly walked to the center and he kicked the body making a soft squish sound to echo in the hospital until someone throwing up drew his attention to look over his solider.

Jim couldn't take the smell anymore as he was in the corner and threw up the contents of his stomach.

???: SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

The silence was broken when what appeared to sound like a girl shout out in the empty hall making the three men shiver and look around.

Rex: Was that a girl?

He whispered to his squad mates.

Matt: We need to save her!

Jim: Are you crazy how do we know this isn't a trap?!

Just as they were going to carry on talking they heard the girl start to scream for help again and then a sudden screech was heard after the shout.

Sebastian: Ghouls.

Jim: Here right now??

Sebastian was about to answer when his danger sense blared in his ears and he quickly jumped backwards. Where he just stood was a abnormally tall figure that had ash grey skin color but majority of its body was wrapped in bloody bandages. It had 4 arms the lower arms fingers appeared to be scalpel's while the top hands had sharp claws as well. The head was tightly wrapped in bandages but black glowing eyes were staring straight at them.

Sebastian used observe on it.

System: [Fowl Soul lvl 56]

Jim: I cant see its level what is it!!

He screamed.

Matt shook with fear and then he quickly took something out his inventory and threw it down on the floor. What he threw down was a smoke bomb as it engulfed the lobby with white smoke.

Matt: Lets run into the hospital we should lose it in there!

As they were running they suddenly stopped due to the creature appearing right in front of Matt as it was swinging its scalpel arms straight towards the man. Time slowed down and multiple thoughts entered his mind. Am i going to die? What about my parents back home?

Just as the creature was going to kill him a sudden explosion blew them back but the one who was blown back the most was the creature as it crashed into the reception booth. The friends looked behind them and saw Sebastian had 2 glowing throwing knives in his hand.

Sebastian: Time to move GO!

He shouted and with new found hope Matt and his friends sprinted further in the hospital. At the reception booth the creature sat up and some bandages loosed around its mouth and a giant maw filled with rotten razor sharp teeth opened drooling black saliva on the floor.
