Chapter 86 Everything Is A Trap
"No!" The middle-aged woman responded.
No!
What the hell!
At first, the people didn't believe what they just heard. Their mouths were aghast and their eyes widened.
What in the crazy world is going on?
"Can you tell us why you decided to be treated as a slave" Justin asked?
"Slave?" The woman raised her brow and stared at Justin.
"If that's what you thought of us. Then, you're wrong. " She said calmly.
"We volunteer for the great cause of humanity. Since we couldn't fight the beast and zombies. This was the best we could do." She added.
"How so?" he asked.
"Our shelter had been under the continuous wave of zombie and beast attacks. We don't have any moment of rest. Death piles up like a pyramid. Until our leader this covers a way for us to survive." A proud smile appeared on the face of the woman.
This shocked those in the room but they kept quiet. Waiting for her to continue her revelation.
"Leader was a smart man. He loves his people. When our shelter was surrounded by beasts and zombies. People died of hunger and diseases. He had to venture into the dangerous street to look for resources for us. So who are we not to do something in return."
"He discovered when those powerful beasts killed some of us. They retreated a couple of days before they attacked. So he made a decision. And he announced his discovery. Then, the sacrifice of a thing came up."
"Also, he discovered people often appeared on that side of the street. So, some volunteers would be used as bait for the larger beast to buy our people more time. So you people are bait for the powerful beasts" She said with a radiant smile.
Seeing her smile, Grandpa Philip and Susan looked at each other and hated themselves.
They played right into the people's traps.
"But we rescued you and killed the beast. So your plan failed." Susan said furiously.
The woman turned to look at Susan and clicked her tongue.
"You are that beautiful and brave woman. Alas, if you were in our camp. Your fate would have been better." She said with pity.
"What do you mean?" Susan questioned.
"It means the real powerful beast is coming to our camp," Justin said seriously.
He stood up at once and looked at everyone and said sternly.
"Prepare for battle. And then, lock them up." With that, he left the room.
For a couple of seconds, no one moves from their seat. They were yet to wrap their heads around what just happened.
"This should teach us a lesson," Nika said and stared at Mack.
"I hope you leave before we end the battle. And don't think he won't kill you. With the way, things are going. He would do it." Nika left the room.
Quickly, everyone rushed out of the room to prepare for the incoming battle.
Susan didn't leave her seat and glared at the pathetic Mack.
"Are you satisfied now?" her voice dropped a couple of degrees.
She wanted to give him a satisfying beating, but she controlled herself.
"I've told you. Nothing will happen between us. Why won't you just leave me be."
"On account of our previous friendship. This will be the last time I will warn you."
Bang!
She bangs the table and leaves the room in annoyance. Those people she tried to save were merely using them as bait while his childhood won't use his brain for once.
When she was berated by Justin. She wanted to dig a hole and hide. Since she arrived around him, everything has been going south.
Inside the shelter, people were rushing backward and forth, preparing for the incoming battle.
The atmosphere was tense. It was barely over a week when they had the last battle. They couldn't believe another wave of attack was already on their doorstep.
Outside the shelter, every able fighter stood in position and held their breath.
The little ray of sun illuminated their faces. Their head moves left and right in trepidation.
On top of a building in the distance, a young man stood straight and looked at the horizon.
His long, overflowing hair swayed gently in the cool breeze. Every second his expression changed.
Suddenly, two eyes appeared from the distance and stared in Justin's direction.
Both stared at each other for a couple of seconds without making a sound.
Gra!

The scream from the ape shook everywhere and some weakened houses crumbled.
The ape slapped its chest twice and disappeared among the tall buildings.
Justine's eyes flickered. He took a deep breath.
'If it only the Saber-tooth Brown ape. The situation is still under control.'
Howl!
A deafening howl came from the distance and his heart missed a beat.
A 3-meter wolf landed on top of a building and looked in Justin's direction.

He tried to calm his racing heart but it was for nuts. The threat this time around was like never before.
Gra!!
The sound of zombies came from the road rushing toward the shelter. Among the zombies were First and Second Circle Existence.
Meanwhile, Kira could feel the sudden change in Justin's emotions.
She clenched her hand and looked in Justin's direction.
'What could happen that makes him lose his emotion.' She thought in fear.
Whoosh!
Bang!
Justin landed in front of the group and his face was devoid of any emotion.
"How is it?" Kira asked.
