Free Web NovelChapter 135: Gangster In The Apocalypse?
Shortly after, Jocelyn said that everyone who was there had heard an explosion at the entrance downstairs. Theodore and the others were shocked when they heard the sound of the blast.
They did not expect the people chasing Jocelyn to do something out of the ordinary like this. Didn’t they think the commotion they caused could lure the zombies here?
"Those bastards actually dare to make a scene like this?!" Theodore clenched his fists angrily.
It only took a little time for them to reach the top floor, and Theodore immediately told Geoffrey to bring Roxanne and Jocelyn to the window above their car.
"Go now. I’ll keep them here. Don’t take the car through the front. Just break the wall at the back and go through there!" Before going downstairs, Theodore also gave them his final instructions.
"Catch up with us as soon as you finish taking care of things here," Roxanne said before leaving.
Theodore nodded briefly and hurried downstairs. When he set foot downstairs, the first thing he saw was a puff of smoke that seemed to have resulted from the previous explosion.
One thing Theodore still didn’t know was what method these people used to blow up the front of this salon?
.t seemed like they either used a bazooka or one of their members’ powers. Theodore had to be very, very wary if they could do this with their powers.
From what Theodore gathered from Jocelyn’s previous words, it seemed like these people were not from the base; most likely, they were people who could survive that day of judgment and awaken the power within them.
No wonder people like this became violent and only added to the chaos in this already chaotic world.
"I’m most reluctant to deal with these kinds of lunatics," Theodore muttered under his breath, thinking to get away from this group as quickly as possible.
The moment Theodore reached the first floor, he was immediately greeted by an arrow aiming at his head and coming at him very fast.
Theodore was already aware of the attack, so it was easy for him to dodge it, but the attacks that came at him didn’t stop there.
When Theodore managed to dodge the attack, he was immediately greeted by a sword aimed at his neck. Theodore quickly summoned his sword from the sacred dimension to deflect the attack.
Their two swords clashed and made Theodore and the man have to take three steps back.
"Turns out that bitch managed to find a great guard." There was a man’s voice from behind the smoke.
Theodore could hear that the voice sounded arrogant and dismissive; he could already tell that this person was the type of madman he hated.
"Seeing how you came here, I immediately knew you were a fool," Theodore replied lazily.
The man snorted as if he was pretty annoyed when he heard Theodore’s words, but he did not respond to Theodore’s baiting and preferred to change the topic of their conversation.
"Where did you hide that bitch?" The man quickly urged Theodore to tell him where Jocelyn was.
Slowly, the smoke in the room began to dissipate, so now Theodore could see inside and outside the salon; given that the front half of the salon was gone due to the explosion, it was pretty easy for him to look out.
Now Theodore could see the figure of the man who was actively searching for Jocelyn’s whereabouts; he was a man with a large body and a wound near his eye.
"I don’t understand what you mean. You came here to disturb my rest, and now you’re asking me something I don’t know. Are. Are you really that stupid?" Theodore looked at the man strangely while shaking his head.
"This bastard really pisses me off. Forget about that bitch. Get her!" The man immediately instructed his friends, who had surrounded the salon, to charge towards Theodore.
Theodore just laughed happily when he saw that the man was provoked. This was one of his goals; this way, these people would not look for the whereabouts of Jocelyn, who was running away with Roxanne and Geoffrey.
What Theodore had to do now was find out what powers these people had. That way, he could prepare his strategy to avoid them and escape from them as quickly as possible.
"Come here, I’ll beat you all," Theodore said again, provoking the fools.
Angrily, three people immediately advanced towards Theodore and launched their attacks on Theodore, who was still standing there with his sword.
From what Theodore saw, the people who attacked him didn’t have any power because when he parried or blocked their attacks, he didn’t feel an intense burst of energy.
Theodore activated his Slash skill, then returned to attack them actively. As a result, the three people who came forward to attack him were sent flying backwards, hitting the wall, and some flew out of the salon building.
"Is this the only power of your men?" Theodore raised his eyebrows arrogantly as he turned to the man who had previously mocked him.
"Damn it!" Now, the man with the eye wound looked angry and moved forward to beat Theodore up.
Theodore felt the heat around him as the man with the eye wound drew closer to him; then, as the man began to point his fist at him, he could see it turn into a fist of fire.
Just one look and Theodore could tell that this man was one of the awakened humans with power. Not only that, Theodore also realized that the man’s power was an attack type.
Without hesitation, Theodore immediately activated his Area of Protection skill because he would not have time to avoid the attack.
The man’s fire fist stopped 5cm from Theodore’s face; his fist was blocked by a thin invisible wall, which surprised the man when he discovered that fact. freewebnovel.cσ๓
Seeing a chance for him to counterattack, Theodore used his legs, gathered his strength, and began to kick the man backward.
But the attacks that were heading towards Theodore didn’t stop there; he realized several needles were flying towards him, which were aiming at vital points on his body.
Theodore twisted his sword in front of his body to block the needles. He didn’t know who sent the needles towards him, but he was sure this was one of the other powers that the members of this group had.
Remembering that Theodore couldn’t keep fighting with these people, he began to move out of the salon. It would be easy for Theodore to escape if he was already outside.
It was just that when Theodore intended to move out of this salon, his body hit something so hard that it could make him take three steps back after hitting something.
When Theodore looked up, he saw someone with the body of a bodybuilder. That person’s body was so hard that he thought he had hit a metal wall before.
Now, Theodore could already be worried because it would be tough for him to escape from the siege of these crazy people with powers.
