CHAPTER 134 HEIST
I left Saeko and Saya to meditate and try to manipulate chakra. Escaping the campus easily I didn’t notice any people holed up, but they weren’t my focus. It took time but I finally found the bank. I had hoped for big neon signs, but no, it looked like every other building. Gray and plain, but the pirate in me knew there was treasure to be had.
Caught up in the moment I didn’t hesitate to run through the crowds of zombies. My water Jitte in hand I sliced through heads easily. Almost a part of my body I spun it with my finger in the fork, extended the water out, slicing through heads and bones without issue. I was finally having fun.
I walked into the bank to find a few more zombies. Dispatching them I excitedly moved to the registers. Prying them open with grip strength alone I began throwing money into my status screen with a surprising amount of glee.
I loved watching the amount of Yen increase as I emptied the bank for all they had. Then I made my way to the safe. It was as I pictured. Closed unfortunately. The big metal door was a sight for sore eyes though. I couldn’t help but feel Luffy whispering into my ear to take it all. I tried prying the safe door, but it didn’t budge. Then I really tried with chakra.
Pulling with all I had I was thrown back as the handle popped off. A screw giving up under my strength I cursed. I then decided to try knocking. Someone might have been stupid enough to lock themselves in. I knocked hard. My hit echoing in the bank.
To my surprise someone answered. They knocked back.
“Hello!” I yelled. I heard people yelling from inside the safe, but it was too muffled to make out. “There should be a way to open it from the inside!” I yelled. But it was no use. They didn’t open it. I cursed, looking around there was only one choice. Time to dig.
I moved around the safe. I doubted I could make it through the metal so I decided to try the wall. When I got to a concrete one I began channeling mana. First I decided on an ice bullet. Making a small amount of water I froze it with my quirk in a bullet shape. With all my focus I threw it at the concrete wall.
A nice chunk of the concrete broke off to reveal metal rebar. I frowned. Focusing I began to make a huge amount of water. Making an orb of chakra around it I shrunk it down. Extremely focused it shrunk and shrunk, pressurizing the water. When it was as small as I could make it, about 7 inches in diameter. I opened a pinhole in the chakra orb.
It took a moment but the pressure broke the rest of the way through. Digging through the concrete and rebar, little specks of it splattered against my face as I made a line straight up. I had to do it 2 more times to make a human sized doorway. Then I began to kick with all I had. It took all the power I could summon to make the new doorway shutter. Kicking and kicking it eventually broke through. I yelled giving my all and I was rewarded to have the hole open into the bank vault.
Apparently I had forgotten about safe deposit boxes. My stone doorway crashed through the wall of steel boxes. The stink hit me right away. But people began yelling and crying as I made it through.
“Thank god!” A girl cried.
“What’s going on? Could you not exit from inside?”
“No, the quick release on the safe broke,” another person said. It was dark inside. I began reaching in grabbing people to pull them through the new exit. “How did you do this?”
“Doesn’t matter.” I pulled them out one by one. There were 12 people. They were pale and struggled against the light streaming in from the windows. “What the hell is that smell?” I asked.
“Shit,” A guy said. “We’ve been trapped in there for days.”
“Oh, well go use the restrooms. There shouldn’t be any undead here,” I said. “I will take you to a safe place if you hang around.”
“Thank you!” A small girl cried. Her mother hugged me and I felt a little bad. I had only come for the money. The group was soon running to the bathrooms and I walked back into the vault. I found the shit corner. Unfortunately they had been using the stacks of money to wipe. I grabbed what I could, which was a lot, but felt dirty when I was done.
Heading out the 12 people were soon gathered around me and I escorted them out. Killing zombies for them they weakly followed. Mumbling as I killed the troves of zombies in front of us. I caught them up on the situation, let them know that an extraction was planned. Some tried to get me to divert to their homes, but I pushed on. They were too scared to go off on their own.
Then she came. Her tiny body convulsing she didn’t know what to do as it happened. Moaning in my mouth I could feel her panties moisten as it moved through her. The small girl took in deep breaths as it finished. I released her slowly.
“That was...such a good kiss,” she remarked.
I laughed loudly. Doing it much more often than I had in a while in the world. “It was, wasn’t it?” I asked. That’s when I heard the gunshot. We both perked up. Yelling coming from outside I moved around her and was out the door.
The guards at the other entrances running to the front I quickly followed. It wasn’t long until we found a large crowd out front of the school. The principal was being held back as he tried to move for another gun.
“We can’t accept them in!” He yelled. “No more! This place will fall!” The old man ranted and raved as those around him tried to calm him down. I walked over to Rei’s father.
“What’s going on?”
“A bus full of people drove up,” he said. I didn’t like buses. I looked to the front gate and there was a bus just in front of the police cruisers. A man was out front, he appeared rather normal. But I was getting Shidou vibes from him for some reason. “They heard about the extraction point here. Wanted to wait it out inside.”
“What do you think?” I asked. “What are we? 6 hours away from them coming?”
“There abouts,” he said. More and more people came up. “The principal seems to have lost it.”
“Yeah,” I noted. He was openly weeping now. His teachers gathered around him as he sat on his knees in front of the school. “Well, no time like the present.”
“Hello there!” I yelled walking up to the front gate. The man in front of the bus noticed me. Forcing a smile on his face as Mr. Miyamoto and I walked up. “Sorry for the gunshot. That’s just how the principal says hello. How can we help you?”
“We were told that an extraction was happening here,” the man said. “We have been traveling all over town. We just want to rest.”
“I understand that,” I said. “Why don’t you and the others come out of the bus? So we can get a good look at you.” The man hesitated but nodded. Walking to the bus he yelled inside the door. Men started coming out. And it was nothing but men. I thought that was a little odd. Then I noticed all the tattoos. Mr. Miyamoto must have understood as well. He stiffened as the 40 men stood behind the police cruisers.
“What prison are you from?” Mr. Miyamoto asked.
Their leader hesitated but admitted. “The East Head Prison.”
“The maximum security?” Miyamoto asked. The man nodded. He frowned, becoming worried.
“We have women and children here,” I said, deciding to make the hard call. “We would appreciate you staying on the bus until the extraction happens.” The inmates began to grumble.
“We uh, we would,” the leader said. “We really would. But there were these big undead. They had pitch black skin with red veins. He chas-”
The bus was thrown forward crashing through the inmates in front of it, the police cruisers, and into the gate of the school. The bars bending, Miyamoto and I jumped back, but the bars of the gate held. Barely.
That was until the bus was pushed again. Much harder this time it honked loudly as the horn blared. I intercepted it, trying to keep it from entering further, but I grabbed it wrong. The front of the bus smacked me in the head, dazing me. I yelled as I stood in front of it trying to keep it from entering any more.
