Chapter 721 A strong duo
The factory workers, in a sense, had a better view. From their rooms they were a floor higher but through the windows, they were able to have a look at the factory ground floor and see everything that was going on.
A lot of them, although they felt a strong sense when they heard Gary’s words, it was hard for them to believe a stranger could do such a thing. What did one even mean when they said that they would get them out of this place safely and create a new life for them all.
Even if there was a person that could do all of that, why would they do that for them? All their lives they had been less fortunate, just for having been born in a city like this. They had long accepted their fate, yet now for some reason they were looking at someone who was fighting for them.
Yet they still couldn't believe it. Gary had moved, jumping from his position, it was so quick and by the time he had landed or they had registered in their heads that he had moved, he had already knocked the squad leader onto the ground, who was now lying on the floor.
In the room itself, Earny was finally opening up his eyes. He was feeling better but his body was still in a lot of pain, especially the wounds that had been made on his back.
“Hey, the old man is waking up!” One of the workers said.
“Earny!” An old friend ran by his side. He had started working at the factory around the same time as Earny.
“Barret, what's happening, why am I back in here?” Earny asked, and could see all the other workers were pressed up against the window. Curious about what they were looking up he tried to get up, but the pain from his wounds were a little too much.
“Stop, you're an old man now, we don’t heal as quickly as we used to, if you move, there is a good chance that you could die.” Barret replied.
“What’s going on though, didn’t the factory owners come in... and, why is everyone staring out the window?” he asked.
“Well, you know that kid, the green haired one, Gary, he’s fighting them... right now.”
Earny’s eyes widened, he had stepped up due to the stolen crystal with the thought that no one else would get punished, if he was fighting them, then now a kid that was less than half his age was getting punished for this. Forcing himself through the pain, Earny attempted to stand up once again.
Knowing how his friend would be, Barret decided to give him his shoulder and help him up, taking him to the window.
“You stubborn old man, anyway, I’m telling you now, you're going to be surprised by what you're about to see. None of us can believe our own eyes.” Barret said, and he was right.
It didn’t take long until eventually the two of them had run out of things to hit. Everyone was on the floor, while Gary and Elijah were the only two left standing in the factory.
“Those guys, they did it, they really did it, just the two of them, knocked out nearly thirty guys with weapons from the Scavengers gang! Who the heck are they!” The workers shouted.,
They were cheering in their rooms as they saw this, but the cheers started to die down.
“This still doesn’t change anything.” One of the women in the room said. “Now that they have hurt more of the Scavengers, they will just send more people, and even if they take care of them, what about us, our jobs, the factory? All of this is just a dream!” she shouted, causing the room to go silent, as they still were hit with the reality.
As Gary was heading over to Elijah, he noticed something.
“Hey!” Elijah said, as he put his hand on Gary’s shoulder and pointed at one of the men on the floor, it was none other than Rex that he knocked out.
“That hurt you b*stard!” Rex said, getting up off the floor, and using his hand to fix his jaw that had been dislocated, a loud click was heard, and strangely there was strange swirling black smoke that seemed to be emitting from his body a little.
When he lifted up his face, one of his eyes, the white had turned purple.
“That’s... that’s what I’ve been looking for.” Elijah said. “He’s an infected Altered.”
