I show her to the bathroom, luckily they had supplies for the bathroom tampons in the warehouse. I am wondering what the group will do after Bai Ming is no longer there to lure the creatures with her blood soaked pants?
There are at least four more ghouls lurking in the shadows of that corridor. Me on the other hand have decided to go to the bar in order to collect all the mana cores before the team dispatched by the Lu family, the military and the Wei family comes to take away the loot.
Going through my collection I found the gate to use as soon as my power awaken. Had I known of this feature to turn any place into an impenetrable fortress I wouldn't have been kidnaped in my last life.
A gate meant for a fortress after I turn it up and aimed it at the door as I stand in the passageway of my floor, It materializes and attach itself into the door front then three keys dropped. It doesn't look out of place even the color is the same as the grey color on the wall.
It will remain locked unless a key is used to unlock it. If I want it to do something drastic like electrocute intruders, then I need to feed it a blood crystal.
I left a key on Kai's room and put the other one on a long chain just in time for Bai Ming to come out wearing my briefs and a loose top. I put the chain around her neck.
"What is it?" She asked me. Instead of answering her I pointed at the warm water in the cup.
"You can rest in my bedroom since that one is used as a gym, the other one has an occupant and I am mostly meditating anyways." This Bai Ming is really beautiful. Its a waste to be pining over a loser who is only after a boy. But probably not for me as well.
"Thank you. How come you are kind to me?" She asked because she saw how I treat them all before.
"At first I wasn't sure but now I am certain of it. You are April's twin right?" She widened her eyes.
In my last life April had bad blood with Wei Lin and Lu Aang which drew her to me who was at odds with Lu Aang. She always used to say 'they killed my twin sister.'
This must be the girl she was talking about. She came to work as a logistics manager in the Lu family just to investigate what they did to her sister but she fell in love with Wei Lin's brother and betrayed me.
"You know my sister?" The tense nerves in her shoulders relaxed because she had previously thought he wants to sleep with her.
"I know of her. The movie collection is over there if you're interested. Don't open the door for anyone do you understand?" I asked her and she nodded. After I left the house she looked at the door with curiosity. Not knowing if she is relied or disappointed.
With the door secured I went to the bar where there are more blood crystals and mana cores to loot. I am wearing a special material leather suit from my batman costume. It is flexible, thin but bulletproof. Although it won't cushion against impact, it will protect against scratches and bites, it can not be punctured.
As soon as I entered, I'm attacked by several creatures. They all jumped at me on the throat and those not able to reach, they pull whatever body part they can sink their fangs into. For a while there is nothing but chaos.
I respond with brute strength and quick reflexes not bothering to pry them off me but focusing on stabbing the weak points. My attacks are getting more and more in line with the experience in my memories.
I mostly stab their heads with deadly precision but soon I am almost buried in the crowd of vampires. They are biting, scratching clawing but none of it lands on my skin even the eyes are covered with goggles. The black blood is all over my face, body and the clothes are a mess but I have a foolish grin on my face.
In a situation so distressing, my senses are being overwhelmed by the nauseating smell of their skin and drool that is brown of color and seems to burn my clothes leaving the suit underneath.
Their insistent hissing in my ear is also very annoying but I am trying to not let it overwhelm me as I plan calmly how to kill these things. I am not able to move away from my current position the only is through.
Slash, stab, kick, block, duck. It helps that I am fighting mindless creatures so I am able to horn my skills without being in actual danger.
Time moved slowly the bodies piled up on the ground luckily I have a lot of stamina or I would have dropped in exhaustion by now. Even so I am reaching my limit.
All those inside the bar are soon taken care of and I am left with a bar full of corpses. First, empty the front stock and go to the back but there are three disgusting creatures out back so I used the fire gun.
The first two are relatively easy to burn since they just wanted to devour me whole but the last one kept its distance from the flame gun. Then it sprinted my direction, must have thought the flames are not fast enough and it would have killed me by then.
However, the toy in my hand has been fed energy from a mana core and it turned it into dust in a matter of seconds. The flames must have been too hot, some of the boxes started getting torched so I had to get water from the space lake and put it out.
I see boxes of wine, beer, ciders not in the fridge yet and all sorts of vodka, brandy and whiskey. I didn't miniaturize them and just stored them in my space. I opened the bathrooms letting out at least 8 ghouls.
I used a sword cutting them down one by one and then looting the mana cores. I crystallized all the bodies and then threw them outside where they shattered into pieces upon impact.
The second storage has the cold stuff even energy drinks, juices and cocktail drinks. I calmly opened it and emptied it into my space. The cameras have long stopped working in upper floors so no one should easily trace my actions here. Besides, I left the last storage untouched.
I returned to the flat. It is silent so I took a shower and continued with my daily routine, It has long stopped making me shit myself so mostly I sweat and pee colorful water.
After that I use my power to further strengthen my body. Then I meditate the rest of the night. In the morning hurried knocking sounded in the door. When I open the door, Huo Chen walked in bleeding from his side.
A massive chunk of meat is missing from his waist. I give him antibiotics and take out a green bubbling paste.
In fact, if a person gets antibiotics even expired ones in time they wouldn't be turned into a vampire or a ghoul. People said it was the heavens way of giving humanity a way out.
"What is that?" His eyes widen when he sees a liquid that has bubbles popping from time to time. No matter how one looks at it, this is definitely poison.
"It will help to regrow your missing flesh." I answered honestly. In my last life I worked hard to find potions that will completely replace my annoying little brother.
I thought if he wasn't the only way for people to completely recover from an attacks maybe he will not be so dazzling.
"Are you serious?" He asked with wide eyes. I tilt my head curious.
"Why else would you come here?" Didn't he want to be saved?
"I thought you wouldn't hesitate to kill me if I turned." He looked down in pain.
"There's no need for that, look.." I showed him his wound. It is already stopping the spread of the black color.
"Before I apply the flesh regenerating paste, I need to cut out the infected flesh, It is going to hurt like a bitch." I say with a large tape on my hands.
"What are you doing with that?" He asked looking at me warily.
"I usually put it over my mouth when screaming is inevitable." I say covering his mouth shut after giving him a large green leaf and said "Pain killer. You are going to need it." I raised the scapula and quickly made a clean cut on the infected area. When he is screaming bloody marry I am almost done.
I poured powder that will stop the bleeding and clean the wound all in one. I waited for a while then I removed the powder now darkened with all the filth in the wound.
I put the bubbling paste and bandaged him. I cleaned up the place as he fell asleep on the couch from the pain, exhaustion or just the screaming a lone is enough to send him to sleep.
I threw the trash out the window and closed it. Anyways I can't have that smell in the house, what if Kai wakes up to smell of something disgusting?
I continued to the gym for my exercises. My equipment comes from toys even the floor carpet that is shock absorbent was once gotten from a model gym toy set.
If I don't build up my muscles naturally, I may get skinnier because of my power when I use it on my body it compresses my body muscles little by little so I need to build more mass with protein and workouts.
The smell of bacon and eggs wafted all over the house. I didn't stop my workout though, by the time I came out of the shower, she and Huo Chen are done eating.
"Those guys are something else to actually to that?" She said to Huo Chen.
"Mikel, your breakfast is cold. Let me warm it up for you." She said looking pale still.
"Don't bother, I will do it myself. Anyways this food is too little I am trying to build some muscles." I say looking at them.
"You are too relaxed man. Who has time for that with all that is going on?" Huo Chen laughed slightly. "I really thought I was going to die for real." He remembered his thoughts the day before.
"So, are you going to go and get your share of the food?" I smile when his eyes turned cold. He really wants to kill that group. But it is impossible with them being on the side of the protagonist. But a little interest is not a bad start.
I gave him more antibiotics just to make sure. He looked at me with sincere gratitude. "Thank you Mikel. You have no idea how hopeless I was when you opened your door yesterday. Do you know that they refused to let the boy heal me? They said he will be uncomfortable."
"Calm down." I take out a bottle of whiskey. "I emptied the bar cabinets." I smiled when their eyes turned wide with shock.
"You really went to the bar and survived?" Bai Ming is so surprised she became speechless. Huo Chen tried reaching for the bottle but I swatted away his hand.
"You can't mix alcohol and medicine. That will waste my effort." I frowned and he quickly behaved.
"You are right." He said nodding repeatedly.
"I am sorry I don't have pills for period pains. But if it gets too much you can chew on this painkiller leaf." I have planted the herbs ordered at that time inside my space. There is enough clean water to water it and so it is growing well.
"Thank...you.." Bai Ming seemed hesitant but Huo Chen laughed. "That leaf is very powerful it helped me when he was cutting off infected flesh off my body. I think it knocked me out soon after."
"It's that powerful?" She asked but I ignored them and took the soup I feed Kai to make him drink it because I don't know why he is taking so long to wake up.
His body is that of an adult now with long fiery red hair flowing freely. His entire body is full of strong looking muscles. If must be nice to sleep and wake up a hunk.
After wiping his mouth I am about to take the dishes away but a hand grabbed mine startling me. His eyes shot open as he pinned me to my standing position with a beastly stare.
A low rumbling roar sounded from his throat. I didn't even see him stand up but he is watching me closely now. I am afraid if I move a muscle, he may rip me to shreds.
The only thought I have is one full of regret. 'If only I had known one sandwich would bring so much troubles...'
