Chapter 114 Trapped

With Zain being so close to his goal and a reward so close to him, he wasn't going to let it slip away. Which was why, while the crazy man was doing his monologue, Zain decided to push the crate open thus allowing him to complete his task, and in turn it had allowed him to receive a bronze card.

"Did you hear me!" The man shouted. "I said don't move unless you want your brains shot out from your head!"

Lifting his hands up, Zain slowly turned around and now was looking at all the people that were around them. The group of university students were frightened. They were shaking and had dropped their weapons on the ground.

"Everyone just stay calm," Dave said, trying to get a hold of the situation, but Zain could tell his voice was shaky and he truly feared the situation that he was in at the moment.

'These people, what do they want? They obviously could have just taken the contents of the care package before we reached here. It looks like this was set up way in advance.' Zain started to dart his eyeballs around the area.

There were two people on the second floor of the apartments on either side. One of them holding a handgun, the other what looked like a sniper rifle as well. Which meant they either found the weapons or there are different weapons in each crate.

Then on the ground floor, there were three on either side with hand guns, hiding in the shops or behind the cars as well. Still, based on the uniform and the way they were holding the guns, they looked somewhat like amateurs.

'That sniper rifle probably will have a lot of kickback, he most likely won't be able to hit his target, but then again there are a lot of people to hit. It will be the same with the handgun. I will be able to move fast enough, but not the rest… What is the best way to solve this?' Zain thought.

It went back to figuring out why these people had ambushed them, because if they really wanted their supplies as well, then they could have just killed them and gathered their belongings, unless it was due to them having somewhat of a heart, but Zain felt like it was unlikely based on the leader he was looking at… he had crazy eyes.

"Alright, so I want everyone to drop their belongings on the floor, and drop their weapons. I see a few of you have guns over there. Please don't try anything, otherwise, I'll have to shoot a bullet in your head." The man stated.

Kun looked at Zain, for confirmation, and so did Pink. The two of them didn't act straight away, because they were hoping Zain had some plan to get out of this. The thing was, guns were still a very dangerous thing for them.

One shot to the head, and they wouldn't be getting up again. When they saw Zain take both hand guns and place them on the floor, the others did the same as well, and eventually Zain had done the same with his sword as well.

'Let's see, while I'm doing this, let's have a look at that bronze reward shall we.' Zain thought.

After accepting the Bronze reward, Zain started to smile inwardly. This was more so a blessing than he thought, and he was somewhat happy that he had pushed the crate of that lid.

'I can see why this would be classified as a bronze reward, but to me right now, this is just as good as a gold reward.' Zain thought.

"Alright, I'm happy to see that you are all listening to our orders. You guys are loyal little sheep which is what we like to see! The name is War, you should remember if from now on, as the days go past you will all learn to curse the name under your breaths as you follow me back to camp." Opening his mouth, his teeth showed as he smirked. "As you all become loyal slaves."

Zain had predicted that this might be the reason. A wild group like this, with high power of weapons. In this type of world, they would force those to work with them.

"Slaves… what do they mean by that?" The girl said.

The men on the side started to lick their lips and cheer, as they looked at the women.

"Don't worry pretty darling, I promise I won't go so rough on you, but I can't promise what the others at the camp will do!" a man said.

"As long as you spread your legs. You can live quite a comfortable life at ours." another commented.

The sheer look of horror had set in for the females as they dropped down to the ground and on their knees. They had it so well at the museum and now it had turned to this, just from one simple mission, and who could possibly be here to save them?

'ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ No(v) e lBin ᴏɴʟʏ.',

"Alright, everyone take off your clothes, and check for bite marks!" War shouted, "We don't want anyone turning on us."

Once again, Kun and Pink looked towards Zain, they would surely be found out now. Once taking off their clothes, it would mean the end for them, and for Pink to do such a thing in front of her parents… how would they look at her, when they found out what she really was.

However, instead of replying, Zain stood there, with all ten of his fingers spread out, not saying a word. Then he placed one finger down making it 9, then 8.

'Is he counting down… does he want us to act?' Kun wondered. 'Zain I'm not a freaking mind reader, what do you want us to do, when you get to 0!'

Zain continued to put his fingers down, one by one, until he was down to the last three.

"3…2..1!"

"ARGHHH!" A man from behind a car screamed at the top of his lungs.

"I've been bit, I've been bit!" the man shouted, as he looked down and could see a dog on his leg.

Soon, the others could hear the sound of growling, and when turning around, they could see a group of zombies running their way.

"Let the chaos begin," Zain whispered.
