RESURGENT-SYSTEM: Survive the Beasts

Updating task list

"Ethan! Nooooo!!!" From afar, Sissy's voice pierced the air with agony, even as the surrounding darkness deepened with each passing minute. Everyone's eyes remained fixed on Ethan, undeterred by the fading light because they could not believe he could even do what he did prior to when he fell. 

Whilst the beast was still shaking itself, the system rebooted within seconds,

[Initializing repair mood]

[Troubleshooting...] Ethan's flesh closed up immediately and the injury faded in a way that it was as though he never had even a scratch, though bloodstains from previous injury remained. 

[Destructive sequence activated] 

[Becoming malevolent] 

Ethan got up immediately with a ferocious speed coupled with furiousness, and went and grabbed the tail of the biosynthetic killer beast even as it kept struggling to be free from Ethan's grip to no avail. 

With lightning-fast agility and an intense determination, Ethan sprang to his feet, being ferocious and furious, he swiftly seized the tail of the synthetic killer beast. Despite its relentless struggle, the creature failed to break free from Ethan's firm grip. Ethan mounted on its back again, holding that razor-sharp tail, he fiercely used the tip of the tail to puncture it's head, brutally bruising the head of the beast as he embedded it to the ground. 

*Beast groaning*

[Groaning subsided] 

There the beast laid dead with its tail in its head and its mouth wide opened and bowed to the earth because its fangs remained rooted in the ground. 

Ethan kept gasping for breath as he made his way down the beast's head and when he saw that the people in sharon apartment all stood astonished and gaping at him, he turned his neck around to behold the dead beast and with a smirk he mumbled, "now the sheriff are going to listen to me." 

Terranova: "Ethan, there are three of this kind heading in your direction right now." 

"Understood." Ethan whispered while approaching the gate with no intentions of staying out there to fight anything else. He did felt pain when that razor-sharped tail penetrated his arm and so confronting another one filled him with fear. 

"Open the gate." Ethan said authoritatively. One of the sheriff opened the gate immediately without waiting to hear from the landlady who brought them... The landlady remained speechless as the rest of the neighbors when Ethan walked in. The moment the sheriff locked the gate, three beasts showed up sniffing around the dead beast. 

"I need everybody inside right now. Shut your doors until sunrise!" Ethan commanded with mutterance and they all obeyed him immediately. 

The landlady went in with the sheriffs to Ethan's apartment and Sissy joined them carrying her little daughter in her arms. Though the room was small to contain all six of them, nobody questioned Sissy for leaving her own room. At least for the first time they witnessed someone who killed one of those bioactivated killer beast standing at least 10 feet tall and weighing several tons, they felt it was safe to be with him. When Ethan sat down on his bed, he knew they all had questions building up in their hearts based on their gestures, but no one said a word until he spoke,

"I am transferring the rent money now." Ethan muttered dull-faced while double tapping his phone. The moment the light from his screen shined on his face, they knew he was disappointed in them for not opening that gate and in a minute time, the landlady received an alert of $1200 dollar worth of cash, she was marvelled. 

"That's for mine and that of my friends." Ethan said lifting his head up boldfaced to look at her. He knew she was going to be surprised as expected and he was confident enough to transfer the money knowing he was going to be able to make more of it. 

"How were you able to kill that thing out there, boy? Asked the sheriff who opened the gate, his voice also roughly sounding politely. He was definitely in his late fifties. 

"I never knew you could do what you did, Ethan, how did you do it!" Sissy added, her eyes brimming with awe. The landlady was going to ask same question but she was still overburdened with guilt, her face vexed with shame. 

Ethan who had no idea how he was going to answer all that, conclusively said, "you all left me for dead, I am going to bed. You can all make yourselves comfortable or look for another room. No one deserves to know how I survived out there." ... because he never wanted anyone to know about Terranova. He grabbed his pillow and stretched his body on his bed, closing his eyes immediately he was done talking. 

"Piss off!" Sissy rattled, rebuking the landlady sharply for her to give way because she wanted to make a bed for her little daughter right where the landlady was standing. The landlady moved immediately, knowing Sissy was troublesome and good at brawling. 

Ghrrrrrrrrhnnn!!! [ Deep, guttural growlings] distant screams...

The landlady and the sheriffs sat down in fear the moment they heard noises outside. They all knew that there were people who weren't going to make it because they could not find a safe place to hide. Somehow, the government knows how to call back these biosynthetic beasts back to the capitol hill a day after they have been unleashed. 

At sunrise when they noticed that the purge was over, the landlady and the sheriffs walked out after their conversation knowing quite well that Ethan was never going to say anything to them. He kept silent all the while they kept talking about the event of the previous day from the time they all woke up until about 9:00 a.m. when they left. The people in the neighborhood came out as well and a few of them kept weeping for their loss who never returned home prior to when the alarm blared, whereas, a good number of them kept talking about Ethan who killed the beast they saw in front of Sharon apartment as they gathered round the dead creature. Ethan remained indoors until the resurgent system started talking, and he was kind of use to it now and basically he was beginning to trust it.
