Speedster In The Apocalypse

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

A group of the SGO guys were laughing like maniacs, they had surrounded a bunch of people in ragged clothing, survivors, were screaming.

As for why they were screaming, well, one of the SGO guys was using a knife to slowly carve off flesh from one of the survivors who was wailing like a pig about to be slaughtered.

At that juncture, one of the survivors tried to run, however, an SGO suddenly stepped in front of him and held him by the neck. And before the poor guy could struggle, his neck was snapped.

Andrew slowly retreated and took a deep, but silent breath to calm himself down. He couldn’t let his emotions get the best of him, especially now.

With resolve in his eyes, he marched back to the camp.

Philip took a moment to digest the information that was given to him.

From what the guy said, there was a faction called the New World, and it was filled with people like him, called ‘Special Grade Infected’. Individuals who the G-virus and their genetic makeup managed to perfectly synchronize, thereby creating a superhuman instead of a monster.

So that’s why I’m like this. Philip realized.

Other than that, the leader of the New World, a powerful Special Grade named Boris, was recruiting as many Special Grades as possible as he believed them to be the new and improved humans. Hence, he wanted to create a sort of utopia for them.

Philip thought it sounded insane, but he reserved his comments to himself.

“By the way. You said you guys are a faction. Does that mean there are other factions other than yours? Possibly, ones that oppose you?” When Philip said that, the amiable guy’s face changed for an instant, but he caught the change.

“You don’t need to know that. For now, you have to rest and recuperate.” He said, and Philip suddenly smiled.

“Actually, I think I’ve rested more than enough.” And then before any of the two guys could say anything, they suddenly froze in Philip’s point of view.

He got up, and walked to the first one before giving the back of his neck a karate chop and did the same to the second one. When he returned his perception back to normal, both their bodies went rigid and their eyes rolled back before they both lost consciousness.

Philip didn’t dwell on this and went to the door of the vehicle and opened a crack. He saw numerous other vehicles and tents with people moving around. He ignored this and looked for a bit before spotting Andrew walking towards a pickup truck with Dina and another person inside.

Philip looked back at the unconscious guards and quickly scurried their guns and strapped them over his shoulders before taking a breath. Here goes.

When Andrew returned to the truck, he ignored the glare of his guard and sat next to Dina. She looked at him out of the corner of her eye and he made a near imperceptible gesture towards the vehicle that Philip was in.

Dina’s pupils shrunk, but she didn’t do anything that could have blown their cover, thank the universe.

Now, Andrew was in a tight spot. He knew their captors were terrible people, but how was he meant to get Philip out of here when he as well as Philip were being closely watched? He had no idea how long they had before they were disposed of, and he would be a fool if he thought he could take them on.

Dammit, what am I supposed to do?! He screamed inwardly. No amount of military training could help in this situation.

He was just about to say something when his world suddenly spun and he felt like he was moving at a million miles per hour.

He didn’t even realize when he was standing upright with Dina next to him. He caught a brief glance of Philip who disappeared and reappeared a moment later with a large duffel bag.

“Well, they are definitely going to be pissed.” Philip chuckled and looked at the siblings.

“What just…?” Andrew came to his senses first and said in confusion.

“Oh, the idiots fed me and gave me my strength back. So I took the two of you out of there with some supplies and weapons.” Philip pointed at the duffel bag.

At that moment, shouts could be heard in the distance.

“That’s our cue to leave.” Philip said and tossed Andrew an assault rifle which he caught deftly. He handed Dina a pistol and he held up a combat knife looking somewhat regretful.

“It’s not as good as the katana, but I guess it’ll suffice.” He sighed and before saying.

“You two risked your lives to save mine, so I guess our relationship is no longer at suspicious ally level. Anyway, let’s go. They don’t know what direction I went, and I don’t want to be here when they do.” Philip casually hoisted the heavy duffel bag over his shoulder and smiled at the siblings before taking point.

The duo looked at each other, clearly flabbergasted. However, it was still night time and very dangerous, so they forcefully ignored their shock and followed Philip.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY GOT AWAY?!?” Kaiser roared in the command tent towards the three incompetent guards he’d assigned over their three captives.

“We’re sorry sir. We had no idea he’d be so fast that we couldn’t even react to him knocking us out.” The lanky individual said with a trembling voice, his head down.

“And you expect me to believe that!? You two are capable special grades and you couldn’t even react to the speed of one person?” Kaiser shouted again and smacked his palm on the arm of his chair causing in to break.

“It’s true sir. That’s how those two got away from me. I wasn’t even able to react before they suddenly disappeared from my front.” The guy who had been watching the siblings said and Kaiser glared at him and he feared he might lose his head.

“I see.” Kaiser suddenly blew out a breath and leaned back into his chair.

“It seems like this Philip guy is much more special than we had originally thought. Fine, the three of you return to your posts.” Kaiser said dismissively and the three nearly failed to hold back their sighs of relief.

When they left the tent, Kaiser looked up. A look of intrigue on his face.

“Philip huh? Alright, you’ve piqued my interest.” Then he grinned slightly.

“If I can recruit him, then boss will be very happy.”
