32 ◇An Irrational Scene◇ (1/2)
”I know their over there!” An older blonde haired man, leading the group to the school Buses Lot, exclaimed.
The man held a rifle in his hands, behind him were about 27 survivors that he and a few others had rounded up.
”Chief? I just got word from Claudius. He's spotted a bunch of kids on the high school rooftop.” This time a younger brown haired man came up behind the leader, a walkie in his hand.
”I see, we'll have to save them after retrieving a bus.” The Chief only briefly pondered it before saying, ”Transportation is our primary objective. Anything about the Lot?”
”Oh!? Right sir!” The young man called into the walkie then awaited a response...
[Claudius reporting! Lot is clear! Save for-You won't believe it sir!?! Some fellow just took down a dawg-using flames! This is unreal!]
The line cut out.
”Claudius isn't one to exaggerate...in a serious situation at least. What do we do sir?” The young man asked, his brown eyes attentive, as he awaited orders.
”I'm curious about this fellow...” The Chief said, ”Let's go and see what we'll find. Have the men surround the women, children, and elderly,protect them till we get onto a bus.”
”You hear the Chief! Everyone in formation!” The young man rallied the rest rest up in the manner their leader had ordered.
”I'm getting to old for this.” The Chief stated as he shot off a round off his rifle, the bullet hitting its target right through the forehead, ”Zombies, more like abominations.”

Lu Xing was covered in the blood of the third dog he had used his kunai knives on. The second having been killed by Lu Xing placing his right hand to its face and causing his flame to engulf its head. He could've used time pause at any point but...
The cost of energy would've been grave in such an uncertain situation as what he was in now.
'No telling how often I'll have to use it.' Lu Xing thought staring at his hand, it had begun boiling over in angry red bumps, 'Healing it will cost me...but it'll avoid misunderstandings.'
His flames began to reverse the damage...healing it in a form.
”Stop right there.” A older man's voice ordered.
Lu Xing stopped his progress, he looked up to see a man decked out in military wear. His sharp blue eyes glaring at Lu Xing's right hand. Slowly, Lu Xing closed his fist, and the flames dissipated.
”Boy...who are you?” The man asked in a commanding manner.
Clenching his teeth,Lu Xing held back from spitting in the man's face...
'I guess old grudges can't be laid to rest.' Lu Xing held back from outright glaring at the man before him, instead he smiled, ”Names Lu Xing.”
The man frowned, he kept on looking back at the boy's right hand, ”Is tha-”
”Chief!” A young man appeared behind the man, ”We found the keys to the buses, the men are going through and looking for buses.”
”Alri-” The Chief started but got cut off once again.
”Take this one.” Lu Xing said gesturing at the bus to his left, ”Has a full tank, you might need to check the logs on the other one's...it would suck to get stuck out in the middle of the road.”
Suddenly Lu Xing had appeared right next to the younger man. Keys dangling before the man's startled face. The Chief barely had any time to lift a finger as Lu Xing grabbed his subordinates hand and placed the keys in it...
Then he was gone.
”Ch..ief...?” Hao Guanyu stuttered out as he stared at the keys in his hand.
Chief Tian frowned even more...
The boy's smile was imprinted into his mind.
