441 Annihilation of the Buddha Gang, Ending the Date in a Bloody Way (1/2)

Day 80 - 6:29 PM - Laguna Provincial Capitol, Pedro Guevara Avenue, Sta. Cruz, Laguna

The Laguna Provincial Capitol, it was the central government established in the province of Laguna. This compound had a collection of different government offices and other establishments. Thus, this about seven hectares wide area was frequented by a large number of people back then before the Apocalypse befell Earth.

Its liveliness before the outbreak, however, had long been gone.

The place was now the central area of violence in the province.

After the Buddha Gang showed themselves and gained control of the areas near the Capitol, those people that were lucky to survive the initial outbreak found another source of suffering.

Men wearing old clothes could be seen pacing back and forth, carrying things while they were being watched by armed men.

This was a usual occurrence in this place now as Buddha Gang were using captured men to do menial jobs.

Strangely, however, there seemed to be a commotion. The usual schedule of the Buddha Gang was to retreat back once night came, and they would not go out until dawn. Everybody knew the reason why and that had followed since they started to rule this place.

Now, the members of Buddha Gang seemed to be preparing to go out. It was even though the sun had already set. Furthermore, the leader of the gang, Alias Putik, commonly known as Nardo. It was quite apparent that he idolized a notorious criminal that was killed back in the 1970s for using that name.

The most strange thing was that Nardo was trying to mobilize the majority of his men. Except for the hundred gang members that would remain in the base, the rest that was about three hundred were getting ready to go out.

Concealed by the dark night sky, Mark and Mei flapped their wings while watching the commotion below.

”Aren't they restless?”

Mei voiced out. As they could only see the people below running here and there in a hurry, that was how it looked like to her.

”I found the guy that seems to be the brother of this gorilla. They really are agitated.”

Mark replied.

His eyes fell on the unconcious Alias Macho that was hanging on the chain and thought of an assumption.

”Did this guy's brother sensed that something happened?”

”Gege, is that possible?”

To Mei's question, Mark shrugged his shoulders.

”Nowadays, anything is possible. Though, I don't think that he can actually sense where we are.”

That was how it felt. The brother might have sensed that the gorilla was in danger, but was unable to pinpoint where the younger brother was exactly. Or else, they might have been firing guns at Mark and Mei already.

Observing the outline of the place, Mark finally decided to start.

”Shall we go?”

Mark asked which Mei nodded to. Normally, women would not want to get involved in these kinds of situations. Mei, however, did not care. As long as she was with Mark, as long as she was with the people she cared for, everything else was insignificant.

And thus... Mark started to wake up the unconcious gorilla with his [Emotion Induction].

”Hurry up you f*cking imbeciles! Something happened to my brother and our collectors! We need to find them!”

Nardo yelled to the top of his lungs.

While he shouted, his left hand was holding the ring-shaped medallion hanging on his neck, tightly.

This medallion had another part that was currently in his brother's possession. With this, he could sense the current state of his brother. In the previous hour, however, he felt that his brother was in danger. Furthermore, the connection was suddenly cut off. He totally feared that his brother was now no more.

Unfortunately, as their scavenger team had just returned, they were not able to prepare to depart immediately.

Because of Nardo's anger, his men were frightened. Their leader did not only lead them because he was strong, but it was also because he would not hesitate to kill. Whether it was men, women, children, elderly, or even another member of their gang, he would not hesitate to end their lives in the slightest nuisance.

Now that it seemed that Alias Macho was in danger, their leader might kill everyone he laid his eyes on.

While everyone was preparing, however, a familiar voice was heard from above.

That familiar voice was not just speaking, though.

”AAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!”

The painful yells of agony made everyone's spines shiver. They could only look up to the sky where the screams were coming from. That was when they noticed something falling from the sky.

THAM!

The concrete in the middle of the compound cracked as the source of the scream crashed.

However, there was no need to ask who it was. Nardo could be seen rushing from his spot towards the cloud of dust created by the impact.

”Brother!”

Nardo yelled as he saw his younger brother in a horrible condition.

”Bro-AHHGGGAAAAA!!!”

Alias Macho was still alive having a sturdy body. He realized who was calling him and tried to reply. However, the agonizing pain in his body took over before he was able to finish the word.

”Brother! Who did this to you?! WHO F*CKING DID THIS TO YOU?!!!”

Nardo yelled.

That was when another voice was heard.

”Damn, you two are really brothers. You have the same annoying screaming voice.”

Everyone in the area paused and looked above. There, they saw two figures flying down slowly. The two then landed not far from the two leaders of the gang. Everyone was surprised to see a beautiful girl and a quite plain-looking man with wings.

Sure enough, even though the lights in the place were just spotlights and burning gas barrels, it was not enough to overshadow Mei's beauty. Many that were able to see her face was fascinated. Of course, for the gang members, their fascination was accompanied by lust.

Of course, Mark would not take that lightly. With a red glow of his eyes, the mobs were frozen still. Those that had nasty intentions towards Mei even started to bleed from their eyes, nose, and ears.

”Are you two the ones who did this?”

Nardo warily stood up and was readying his gun.

”We did, so?”

”Who are you two? I don't think that you two came from around here. Why did you do this?”

Nardo fired a barrage of questions. It seemed that he was quite smart. He deduced that the collection team was no more just by the current appearance of his brother. And such, he just proceeded to question Mark and Mei's intentions.

”Well...” Mark replied. ”We really did not belong here. I'm just here on a date with my wife. So ask your brother who encircled us without warning and threatened me to hand over my wife and scram.”

While saying that, Mark was smirking. The ridicule was all over his face and he was implying that all of it was no one else's fault but Alias Macho and the collection team.

Mark expected that Nardo would be enraged by that. Surprisingly...
