Elena and Olivia slept while Zane was out of battle, the awakened he came across, or more accurately stated silently reaping their souls from the shadows. But they were awakened by a loud noise in the distance.
The noise was one that any American was familiar with if they had travelled along the Nation's roads long enough. It was the deafening sound of motorcycles and the howls of the men on top of them. There were, of course, other engines mixed in with this sound, but the motorcycles drowned them out.
The moment Elena and Olivia heard this, they were quick to grab their weapons and attach their battle gear as they began searching for Zane in a panicked state.
"Zane? Where's Zane? Elena, have you seen Zane?"
Elena searched the cell Zane had taken as his quarters for the night, but found that neither he nor his gear were there. Immediately cursing beneath her breath as she did so.
"He's not there... The bastard seriously left us here to go scavenger for supplies without giving us a heads up!"
Olivia sighed heavily as she peeked out the blinds of the building. She knew if things went south, she and Elena would be on their own. And was hoping that the roaming gang would pass them by without noticing that the building was currently occupied.
Unfortunatel,y in the next moment, these hopes were dashed as the lead motorcycle spotted that the gate of the Police Stations was chained. He immediately motioned for the convoy to stop as he pointed towards the building and alerted the group of his findings.
"Hey stop, you fucking retards! Can't you see that there are people in there?"
"Holy fucking shit! God damn! Good job Jamal! If you did not see those damn gates, we would have never gotten our hands on such precious slaves! Even if these two bitches are total sluts, with their looks they will still fetch a mighty price in the Safe Zone!"
The Marauder who had spotted the chained gate smirked as he asked his boss for a special reward.
"Hey boss, you mind giving me the first crack at the red-haired one? I can't wait to break her in!"
Elena, of course, was trembling with rage. Not only had these men automatically assumed she was a slut, which absolutely infuriated her. But what was worse was the idea that this bastard thought he could "break her in" as if she wouldn't kill him if he dared to even touch her.
Because of this, she immediately cast her skill, freezing time on the spot. And the moment she did so, Olivia unleashed a vast torrent of electricity in the direction where all the bandits still stood. Frying them to a crisp. The moment time reset itself, their fresh corpses fell to the ground scorched, completely black.
Yet Elena's hands were still trembling as she gritted her teeth and hissed her thoughts through them.
"I'm a virgin, you fucking bastards!"
Olivia couldn't help but understand Elena's fury, and nodded her head in silence, not giving a damn that the two of them had just killed about two dozen living beings. But what was curious though was the fact that Elena unlocked a new achievement, one that Zane had unlocked much earlier on.
Of course, she was too enraged to look at her system at the moment. But by being the first to open fire on the bandits, who were offering her a "peace solution" via enslavement. The system registered her first kill as an act of aggression, and thus she had succeeded in unlocking the hidden achievement: "Murderer."
Which she would later find out after she and Olivia had calmed down and dealt with the slaves who were currently chained in the back of the trucks.
