Chereads / Mana Mutation Apocalypse / Chapter 21 - Liam

Chapter 21 - Liam

Williams removed the hood he was wearing completely giving him a new look, he now appeared as a dazzling and handsome young man.

"Do you perhaps have a way to get us out of this situation?" Ryan asked carefully when he saw how exceptional calm Williams was.

Williams analyzed the zombie hunter and found something strange about it.

"Aren't zombies suppose to be mindless, it should have been crawling over us by now." Williams pointed out.

The others looked at him with the expression of 'Has this fool been living under a rook' on there face.

Mia cleared her throat and explained to him scarily with her eyes glued on the unmoving zombie hunter"Let me explain it to you ..."

"Williams"

"Okay, Williams. Zombie hunters are different from other zombies by their build and little intelligence. The only reason it is standing still is because it sensed a frightening aura or an existence that could be a threat to it." She explained.

Enlightened, Williams restrained his aura and observed the zombie hunter carefully.

Just as he thought the zombie rushed forward the moment he turned off his aura.

The other members almost fainted when they saw the zombie hunter dashing towards them at an incredible speed but for some reason, Mia remained calm while holding Williams hand. It was as is she had found a source of motivation, no matter how loud the zombie growled or ran she didn't get scared.

"Give me a sec" Williams fred his hand from her grasp.

He didn't bother revealing his sword, he only ran forward with his fist. There was no lightning flickering around him, there was only an unexplainable force pushing him.

He suddenly stopped infront a scorpion's stinger, getting an idea out of it Williams picked it up and threw it in the sky.

Turning back to Ryan and the rest, Williams smiled and closed his eyes. Following the stinger with his sense, he performed a backflip striking the stinger towards the zombie while in air.

The zombie hunter tried to dodge it but the stinger was too fast given it's speed.

Piercing a hold through the zombies brain, the stinger kept going until it was out of sight.

Thud

The zombie dropped down lifelessly, but it wasn't the only thing that dropped. Each and every members of Ryan's squad had their jaw dropped as they all couldn't fathom Williams strength.

Remembering the scene where she slapped him, Mia felt like burying her head ten feet below the ground to hide her embarrassment.

After killing the zombie, Williams turned back and asked Ryan about the green crystal uses.

"You don't know that? Tell me dude, have you been living under a ro...." Mia's mouth opened unconsciously and before she realizes what she had done, it was already too late.

"Ahem, what my woman is trying to say is that you have secluded yourself to train under a rock since the apocalypse"

Looking at the man who talked, Williams saw that it was Liam who had stayed with Mia when the others were fighting.

'Hmmm, what's going on here' Williams thought then he asked the question on his mind, "How old are you?" He pointed to Liam.

"I'm 23 and she's 22" Liam answered honestly.

"How can these small kids be older than me" Williams murmured in disbelief.

Clearing his throat, Ryan explained what the green crystal is used for.

"Mutilated animals are grouped according to their strength level which are servant beast, lord beast, king beast, beast leader. Those are the four known levels of beast. Each of those mentioned beast have a power source called core with there colors transparent, green, blue and red respectively."

He continued, "These core are now used for many things like weapons, buildings, even technology."

Williams nodded and appreciated Ryan with a head bow.

"I need you guys help on information of how to infiltrate the exile zone, they must account for what they did" Williams said through his gritted.

Meanwhile Ryan was shocked by the amount of hateful aura Williams was emitting, "What did they do for you to hate them this much, did they kill your loved one?" He asked.

Mia also perked her ear forward to catch Williams reply and so were other members.

"They hurt someone I care about"

".."

"Is that it?" Mia asked confusedly.

Giving her a strange look at first Williams answered her, "What else do you expect. Killing them is the least torture I can give them considering that I will torture anybody that touched a hair on her body till death."

Mia gulped down the saliva in her throat.

"What if you work with us to take them down" Liam suddenly proposed.

The others also held a nervous expression, they would really be lucky if they could get williams on the plan.

"The more people the less stress" Williams smiled.

"Do you guys have anywhere we can discuss strategy?" Williams inquired.

They all looked into each other's eyes and gulped nervously, "We do have one but you're gonna hate it" Liam said.

"Anywhere other than here is better"

That been said, Williams followed them out of the forest and they led him towards their camp.

"What did he meant when he said you are special?" Williams tapped Mia and asked.

"My power is mostly used during long fights, it can continuously provide energy and stamina to my team no matter the numbers."

Williams was shocked when he heard her explanation, 'I must find a way to win her over to our side'. He wanted to ask more when a felt a hand holding his shoulder firmly.

Looking back he saw Liam holding his shoulder, "Water seal" Williams detected the seal in his body the moment Liam touched him.

"I will prefer you not chatting with my girlfriend bro" Liam said seriously.

Suddenly the serious face turned into a bright smile, he removed his hand from Williams shoulder and placed it around his neck while dragging him to the back of the group.

"How many women have you had?"

With a huge grin on his face Liam whispered to Williams.

"None".

"Fuck, are you kidding me?"

"I'm sincere"

Liam held his head with a disbelieving expression, "With only my looks, I have at least 7-8 women on my bed in a week, talk less of someone who is surprisedly more handsome than I am".

"How shameless can you be" Williams murmured.

"A man is nothing without sex bro, think about it very well" he patted Williams back before continuing walking.
