Chapter 18: Escaping A Trap

When Chronna heard the man, she immediately thought that both she and Ethan might say goodbye to their job because they would both share the fate of the ending planet.

Thankfully, they did not stay long in the same room as her. When they left, Chronna looked in all directions, her head was spinning, and as she approached the baby that the woman had given her, it was still asleep.

In the room, another baby was resting. It had a respirator, which Chronna assumed was to protect it from the gas.

That got her thinking because only one of the babies had a breath. It did not take her too long to come to the conclusion that he did not belong to them.

They only used it to attract her and Ethan, this was very strange, but she did not have time to think about the reasons.

He had five minutes to escape from that place and not much longer before the planet exploded, looking in gifted directions.

He used the sliders to move at full speed towards the door and jumping, he tried to kick it open, but the door was too strong.

“Bloody hell!”

She got up and knocking on the door. She realized that it was a reinforced iron door. There was no way she could get through it.

Chronna was angry, and she had no way to communicate with Ethan.

That was a big problem, and she was beginning to feel the effects of the gas on her body.

Dropping on the floor, she thought what she could do, and if the gas took five minutes to kill her in less than that, it would surely kill the other babies.

She had to get out of there immediately. When looking at the ceiling, she noticed something.

The ceiling is made of wood... With that fact, Chronna smiled. The wooden ceiling was excellent news.

Although it was difficult for her to break it, she had a good idea of how she could do it.

She got up again with repowering spirits and looking at the babies, and she placed them in the crib of the previous one. Surely they would be fine.

Chronna took the stabilizer from her and removing the two times that she carried it. She could support some weight.

Ethan had said that if she put more weight than the ideal, it would destabilize. He had not said that he could not carry it.

With that in mind, she smiled, and approaching the refrigerator in her house, she added it to the stabilizer, and it rose.

The refrigerator was very big, and its weight made Chronna go from one place to another, but the young woman was far from giving up.

Taking the refrigerator that floated around her as if Chronna were a planet and the refrigerator her moon, she made it spin with speed.

The rotation of the refrigerator, although it was difficult to see the front, clearly distributed the weight of it in a better way.

With that in place, Chronna began to skate back and forth, back and forth using the kitchen walls as ramps for her sliders.

The fridge removed all the other appliances she collided with without issue and kept spinning around Chronna.

She started to move forward, and as she raised and lowered the refrigerator, she gained even more speed.

Chronna didn’t plan to stop, and when she had enough speed, she ascended with full force until she released the cooler from her stabilizer, sending her flying at full speed against the roof of the house.

The refrigerator crashed into the ceiling destroying all the boards and flying out of that place.

The woman and the man who had caught Chronna saw how the refrigerator landed on the floor and on the roof of the house.

Chronna came out and gave them a middle finger while grinning at them smugly as the three babies were around her.

The man and the woman saw her land away from them, and she began to run at full speed.

Ethan saw her with the three babies around her, and he had his own three babies of hers.

“Hey! The lady found you!” He remarked brightly.

Chronna eyes rolled at him. He could be really gullible sometimes. Both of them sped towards the ship.

“That was a trap, Ethan, and you have to be careful! They almost killed me like they already killed several people!” Chronna said seriously.

Ethan was surprised, and he couldn’t believe what was happening.

And looking at Chronna with concern, he asked, “Did you kill them?”

Chronna took a second to assimilate that question and seeing Ethan with a wry smile, and she said, “Who do you think I am?”

Ethan apologized when they both reached the ship, they left the babies where they were, and with speed, they had already rescued almost twenty-five babies.

“How fast are you going?!” Chronna asked in surprise.

Ethan smiled, somewhat embarrassed, and said, “We do not have much time! Listen, there are still five children left. They are far apart, I will go for the two furthest away, and you take care of the three closest, okay?”

Chronna saw him with a murderous look, and coming closer, she questioned, “You don’t think I can go to the distant ones?”

And Ethan was confused. He looked in all directions when the young woman laughed and said, “Do not worry! I’m kidding. Go save them!”

Ethan stood for a second, watching Chronna walk away.

How could someone maintain that sense of humor after being about to die in a world about to explode?

Clearly, this woman was incredible.

Jumping at full speed, he decided it was time to get serious, and with speed, he ran at all that he gave for one of the babies that touched him.

His speed was overwhelming, and he ran so quickly that it was easy to leave people behind.

Ethan arrived in a fraction of seconds at the house where the baby was, and when he went up the stairs, he saw the child’s room.

It was a baby of almost a year, and he was standing on his crib looking at the window.

Ethan came to him, and when he took it, baby saw it as if he understood.

When he arrived, he looked at him and asked, “What are you doing standing, baby?”

He drinks as if he understood the question perfectly. He points to the lights in the sky and, with a wave of his hands, makes the face of an exploding planet.

Ethan opened his eyes in disbelief.

The boy looked at him and pointed to his handheld computer showing the time.

When he did that, he stretched out his hands to be carried, and Ethan was completely overwhelmed as he held him up.

“Time to go, baby,” He muttered after clearing his throat. He was not so used to taking of babies but perfectly knew that something was weird about the child that he was carrying.

The baby allowed himself to be supported. Ethan placed the baby on the stabilizer, then looked through the window.

Immediately, he saw how a round of lightning struck one of the bases of a gigantic circular tower that had water in the pond at the top.

“Shit!!” Ethan cursed when he saw how the water tower was coming down on them.
