Chapter 80 - They Definitely Had Something Planned (2) (2/2)
”I'm scared...”
*Sob* *Sob*
”...”
”Why... I don't want to fight...”
”...”
Those six people, which comprised two kids of a little bit more than twelve years old and four older people at the age of more than sixty, could only remain quiet, cry, and worst, try to run away.
But they had no place to run away to...
This place was not the old Earth anymore...
It was only a matter of doing or dying for them from now on...
'Is this why they create the tutorials? To let everyone realize that they shouldn't be weak?'
Mitchell, who had been observing the situation till now, thought to himself wonderingly.
Unsurprisingly, he didn't feel much pity towards those people at all...
Still, Eddie was different from Mitchell as he currently felt quite guilty inside his heart because he didn't want to see those innocent people hold weapons up to fight against monsters.
But it was necessary, so he could only grit his teeth strongly, trying hard to push the churning guilt back down into his stomach.
He was willing to stomach and hide the guilt within the deepest part of him if it meant he could survive this shitty tutorial.
'I must survive no matter what; I've already promised with Skylar to find her sisters...' Eddie thought with determination.
When Mitchell finally saw those elderly and children who didn't know what to do anymore, Mitchell decided it was finally time to give them a way out of their current predicament.
Mitchell, the mastermind behind this situation, suddenly spoke up after a long time,
”Please calm down and listen to me!”
His voice was loud enough to make everyone heed his words...
”...”
”...”
”...”
After seeing that everyone's attention was on him now, Mitchell started his long-awaited speech,
”Thank you for your understanding. After seeing many of you arguing with one another chaotically, me... as a leader of everyone here and also the one who sees through the real problems you guys are arguing, I would like to propose a way out of this situation 'peacefully'.”
When everyone heard their leader said so, they started getting interested in his so-called 'proposal'...
”Please say...”
”What is it?”
”...”
”We're hearing...”
”...”
Even the elderlies and kids had some hopes reflected within their eyes now...
After all, their light of hope and kind-hearted Mitchell that had led them through the past seven hordes had finally spoken up.
Unbeknownst to the ignorant 'them', the next part of Mitchell's speech was going to bring them back down to face the harsh thing called 'reality'...
Upon seeing their reaction that was 'as expected', Mitchell continued his piece,
”As everyone had said, 'we indeed do not have enough manpower to fight in the next wave'. So, I would like to suggest that they also fight alongside us, but...”
Mitchell spoke by twisting some words here and there, as it should be 'As Eddie had said' instead of 'As everyone had said'.
Well, he was pretty smart...
However...
”What are you saying? They are elderlies and children!!”
