136 3.09.41 – My Ability – Downfall of Humanity
The air above the city D was stagnant. Was it not for the hot temperature, Ren Han wouldn’t have noticed the air at all. He couldn’t be more pleased. This was a perfect weather for sniping. Throwing a firecracker in the middle of the quiet road filled with wandering zombies, he flew higher to the sky, watching the uproar bellow. As if it was a new year, the crackers made a loud noise, alarming all the nearby zombies and people who were in hiding.
*BAM*
*BAM*
*BAM*
Zombies started to show up on all sides; some ran on their feet, others pushed their way through the windows on the high buildings. Despite falling from such a height, they continued to move with their mutilated bodies.
Among them was a zombie, who seemed to be a former policeman. Wearing a riot armor, its fast movement left behind a blurry after image. It couldn’t be any more obvious with its bold moves, and the way other zombies avoided it.
Ren Han spoke to the communicator, “Found a fucking fast one.”
When the zombie appeared above the cracker, Ren Han locked its clothes in place. Before the zombie could comprehend the situation, a large bullet passed through its helmet.
All the zombies looked up in the sky in confusion.
.....
*BAM*
Hearing another explosion, zombies rushed towards the new sound in haste, entirely ignoring the man who appeared behind them. Ren Han looked at the tenth green nucleus in his hand with a grin, “Westminster Street clear.”
(?°?°)?? ???
They didn’t even get one, and this officer was taking them down like cherries!
Hiding in one of the rooftops, a soldier spoke as he tried to snipe down a zombie, “Found one with wind powers. It created a windshield to reflect my bullets.” Taking out a flare pistol, he sent a red signal to the air, conveying his position.
A chopper flew above a rooftop where the red signal appeared; it didn’t forget to lure a horde of zombies on its way with its noise.
The first one who appeared was Kuro, followed by three air users and one fire user. Ban, together with two water and two earth, used ropes to climb down.
Fu Lian asked Wan Ke, “We are not going to land?”
Wan Ke reached out his hand, “Do you see a helipad somewhere? If no, hold my hand.”
Fu Lian frowned in disgust, she sat at the edge of the entrance, holding the rope, she wanted to climb down by herself.
Seeing what she was about to do, Wan Ke quickly held onto her shoulder and teleported her to the rooftop, “Are you asking for death? You have literally zero experience in rappelling!”
Fu Lian pulled out her rifle and pointed it at his head, “Who said I have zero experience?”
Wan Ke raised his hands and made a distance, “C-calm down, I didn’t mean to belittle you.” Under pressure, he forgot that he could teleport.
Ren Han appeared on time to see the commotion, “What happened?” He looked up at the departing chopper and asked Ban as he dismantled Fu Lian’s rifle right before everyone’s eyes.
*Sounds of laughter*
“??.” A vein popped up on Fu Lian’s forehead. If there was someone who she wanted to kill the most, it was that man, Ren Han! She could’t even describe how much resentment she felt towards him! In defeat, she sent the dismantled pieces of her rifle to her space. Taking out a new one, she walked to the edge of the building to check the situation. She needed a LVL 4 nucleus to upgrade her space.
“Miss Fu Lian attempted to rappel from a chopper,” Ban answered with a chuckle.
“So desperate?” Ren Han raised his eyebrow, “She stopped cooking too.”
“Maybe she noticed that cooking for two hundred men every day isn’t an easy matter, said Bing Shi. We miss her food. Few of us tried to imitate her cooking, but it wasn’t as delicious,” Ban sighed sorrowfully, “We tried to send her to the kitchen, but it always ends in a disaster.”
Ren Han walked to the edge of the building with laughter; he could imagine all the misunderstandings his grandma created. When he looked down at the zombies, who were climbing up the walls, he shouted out, “Scatter!”
But it was too late, a horde of zombies from inside the building appeared at the rooftop. All the soldiers who could fly grabbed a nearby earth or water user, and flew to an adjacent building.
Wan Ke quickly grabbed Ban. “Fu Lian, is inside her space!” he shouted at Ren Han and teleported.
“And what the fuck do you want me to do?” Ran Han spoke to nobody and waved his hand, an invisible power pushed all the zombies down the building.
‘Exactly that!’ Everyone thought in their minds as they looked from afar.
Ren Han sat at the edge of a nearby building; his expression showed a sign of fatigue. “Call her out,” he spoke to a communicator.
“We don’t know how,” Wan Ke spoke out.
“She should see the situation outside,” said Pony playfully, “She will appear in a matter of seconds.”
And how wrong Pony was, even when general Yi Zen appeared, Fu Lian continued to stay in her space. She appeared strong for the whole time, but when the zombies appeared, she grabbed the chance to run away. She will never return to that hell hole, ever. She ignored Yi Zen and the white snake, who were leaning against the wall in silence. Her ears perked up the moment the man got a phone call.
Yi Zen picked up the phone, “Bing Shi?”
“The villainess is making her scene,” Bing Shi whispered.
Yi Zen sighed, “Go to sleep.”
Bing Shi put her phone on the speaker and started to cry with a higher pitch, having no idea that Ren Han passed by her tent, who almost tripped when he heard her next words.
“How can I sleep, knowing that you’re about to lose your virginity!? I’m serious; If you don’t return, I’ll kill myself on the spot!”
When Ren Han barged into her tent, he saw Bing Shi in a gas mask, holding a script with crossed fingers.??
“...”
Bing Shi opened her eyes wide at the intruder, she quickly shooed him away with her script, but Ren Han stood rooted on the spot.
Yi Zen, who had no idea what’s happening on her side, pinched his forehead in tiredness, “Enough with your jokes.”
Fu Lian’s eyes perked up, ‘Yi Zen is a virgin?’
Bing Shi recovered quickly and continued to read her script, “At least come back for dinner, you didn’t eat for two whole days! How do you even bathe? You have to stink like a skunk!”
Fu Lian looked at the steamy stew in her hand, ‘Can a handsome man like him stink?’
Yi Zen took a deep breath, “Bing Shi, stop acting like my wife. This is your twentieth call. Do you miss me that much?”
Before Bing Shi could answer, Ren Han stole her phone and switched it off, disconnecting the call between them, “...”
Bing Shi, “...”
Yi Zen, “...”
Bing Shi stood up in frustration, the barrier around her grew in size, “Give it back.” She locked Ren Han inside a bubble, “I’ll let you listen.”
Ren Han looked at the satellite phone in his hands and shook his head. When he felt the invisible walls closing on him, he continued to shake his head.
“Suit yourself,” Bing Shi lifted the barrier and created one around herself.
Ren Han lifted his gaze and gave her phone back, “You cheater.”
Bing Shi’s heart throbbed in pain, she accepted the phone and dialed Yi Zen’s number, while showing the script to Ren Han, “At least get some sleep.”
Yi Zen leaned his shoulder against Kuro, “Not until she appears.”
Bing Shi raised her voice, “Are you crazy? She doesn’t deserve you!”
Yi Zen chuckled at the woman who appeared before him. “En...crazy in love. I’m the one who doesn’t deserve her,” he said and turned off the call.
Who wrote the script? Who else if not Bing Shi?
