Bunker System

Chapter 5

"No,no,no,no, what the- nooo, not happening, are you stupid!" 

He immediately sat down on the fluffy floor, hoping it would make his worries go away, but it didn't.

‘Honestly most people would kill to have an opportunity like his, Why this'’

While he tried to figure out his aim, he jumped up again and checked if there was a punishment.

6 hours unable to enter the bunker, but the reward would be a level up stat to Cindy if she came here. He kept on swerving and thinking. He did not want to do this. He stopped for a second and said out loud, “no, no I will not be doing this,” he stood strong in the middle of the room, looking like an idiot. The aftermath surprised him.

[Quest terminated]

‘Huh, it worked, why? It shouldn't be listening to me, what's going on? If it-

He walked up to it, picturing Cindy in his head constantly and just lay on the comfy floor. The dip did not allow him to manoeuvre well, but he still rolled a bit. After a bit, this happened.

Dong.

He pounced and looked at the quest. “Hahah, no way, Cindy again, terminate it, I will not be doing it,” he chuckled a bit. 

‘It wants to meet to find a girl, but why? Oh crap.’

He said a few words to the bunker, speaking to thin air, those words manifested into a quest.

Dong.

He walked over to it, hoping it would work, it did. He terminated two quests for this but he found what the bunker wanted. 

‘Like normal human psychology.’

He got this notification next.

[After terminating 2 quests, punishment will increase]

‘Only 12 hours as both of them had 6, so it should be…  Oh come on.

“No, no, why?!” He explaimed the words with such terror that it annoyed him.

“48 hours, are you serious?” He laid down again and started thinking. 

‘Might as well never leave’

[Punishment is 48 hours outside the bunker]

[Not leaving the bunker in 1 hour will terminate the contract with the system.]

He could not believe this, he just wanted to sleep on the comfy floor, not go outside again. He sighed. He wanted to complete this crazy task as soon as possible. He grabbed a few food packets and walked out of there.

[Timer will start now]

[47:59:58]

[47:59:55]

He was back in the barren wasteland, except for the abundance of houses. He went to the right of him, not straight where Cindy was. He could speak his thoughts out because he didn't like this. 

‘This bunker, it had a will of its own, the fact that I could create that and read my mind, it had to be right, what about now?

He looked around scared. He entered the porch where the house was, it had a nice shade of brink but the shattered windows were still there. He pushed himself, hoping nobody was in there. He was right. The white paint had peeled off a bit and while the stars were before him, he had two rooms on his left and right. 

He kept on creeping around until he found a bed. It was small but was comfy.

He smiled when seeing it, hoping it would have a similar feel to the floor in the bunker. He was disappointed but it had a better feel to it so he accepted it.

Cumas drifted his eyes to sleep, hoping it would be a good day outside.

His wish was not answered and got a slap on the face. 

It was light outside but not with the sun that would always wake him up in the morning. 

He sat up, looking around in a daze.

“Man, I miss the days of having the sun outside, “ he sighed, realising how big of a problem that was. He saw a running tap and washed his face, clearing his mind. He started staring at the depleted wall, which the house was keeping up with all its might. 

‘Alright then, what are we going to do?’

He glanced at the screen of where the timer was goin off.

‘39 hours and so and so minutes, ok’

He put his hand on his mouth.

‘I need info on those inhumans abilities, that's the main goal.’

He sighed, showing the stupidest face he has ever given.

“I can't believe it,” he spoke out loud. “First this system, then,” he took a breath.

‘This atomic bomb’

“I need to find out how it launched, the girl with the fat butt will help me, hopefully,” he looked around, hoping the girl would do nothing loving.

“Then the inhumans.”

He started calling them that as he thought it was the right choice.

He started walking to the place where he left the girl. It was lonely all around, not like the spiteful civilised place it was before. 

He shook his head in annoyment at the lack of knowledge he was living with. 

‘How do people survive this place and still make it so they have inhuman powers, but I do have a bunker, with limits’

“Which is also blocking me out,” he stopped, realising that he spoke out loud.

‘What? Think’

Then a lady came out, he had to blink to realise it was the lady Cindy. She gave a godly smile which he rolled his eyes to in his mind. However, his body was not listening to him and he did it for real. She blinked and pretended it never happened.

“Hi,” she said in an upbeat voice. Her fashion taste was questionable but he expected it and did not look into the matter. Even though the bully was gone, she wore skinny jeans. He walked over to her, “hi, you alright?”

He purposely said it awkwardly, and she stroked her hair. 

“Oh, I am alright,” she said.

Cumas smiled at her.

‘Analyse, Analysse, ANALYSE!’

He pulled her by the hand, she was startled and smiled. Cumas was looking for a reaction and got it. 

‘Well crap, either she is trying to manipulate me, or she is trying to find a person she wants to protect her, damn I miss this and I am glad I am doing this’

He moved away from the house and started having a conversation with her. She was a bit grabby, trying to make him touch her and she swayed her arms around him. 

Cumas accepted it for the one reason that she had useful info. 

‘She isn't doing it for love and cutting the crap, love at first sight? Does Not exist.’

He frowned but he hid it from her, talking, making up lies as they went on. 

He pushed out the info and while they had stopped he summarised it.

There was a fountain which had drinking water. It was in a nice garden with a few holes in it which was not from the bomb. The pavement was clean and grey, shining with little stones. The trees were dead but still had the leaves on. Cumas took the opportunity to admire them as he knew they would not last long with the lack of sunlight. He stared while they were walking and kempton while drinking. When it was her turn, the thinking started.

‘So, she had been walking around and the bomb hit. It was nuclear by how she described it, clouds formed because of this’

He guessed this as she did not know for herself.

‘Put too much in her behind than anything else.’

He scoffed at it.

‘She knows nothing of the inhuman powers but the fact that people passed out from the atomic bomb and not blowing everything up?’

It was hard to believe that but he blankly stared.

‘So a good reason to stay outssdie was the radiation which gave people powers, thi is stupid.’

He scowled at the half living grass. Cindy was finished and she walked over to him, he hid his face and cheerfully walked over to her.

‘She also doesn't know any shelter, not surprised if there would be none’

He started getting curious. The gate had a bit of rust on it as they walked past the entrance with stone red bricks surrounding the area, he remembered the colour from his memory as now it was bland and grey. He asked, “What are you going to do now?”

She answered, “probably stay with you,” she smiled cheerfully after that right at him. He smiled back, hoping she would not catch on to his twitch on his left eye from the anger.

‘But she is stupid and would never notice’

He looked around quickly until he was surprised by something.
