Chapter 10 Escaping The Facility#2
"Here catch," he threw a weapon towards Michael, catching him off guard, yet Michael didn\'t miss. He caught the weapon and, observing the weapon, a shocked expression came upon Michael\'s face as he carefully analysed it. It was a handgun, or to be more precise, his own personal handgun that he was most familiar with.
He looked at Zero, still hurriedly putting all the weapons inside his storage ring. Zero, observing his gaze, stopped for a few moments before pointing in a direction where the artifacts were present.
"Take a few storage rings and start storing everything you can see," Zero spoke as he loaded a big space looking gun with both his hands and then pointed at the door.
"3… 2… 1… " Zero muttered in a low voice and then.
-Bang bang bang
He shot a few shots as soon as those following him arrived in front of the gate. In about a few seconds all the men who were following were dead. As for Micheal, he just stood there dumbfounded as he observed Zero. Gulping in nervousness as he looked at Zero, he made a point to not to mess with Zero even if he was a child.
After that, both of them hurriedly stored all the weapons inside the storage rings and began running outside the room. Though it was mostly Zero running, with Michael following behind him.
"Well, we haven\'t come across any guards yet. At least that is something nice," spoke Michael as he followed behind Zero, trying to initiate a conversation. Zero looked at him with a slightly confused look before a sudden realisation comes to him as he speaks,
"Ah! That is because of me blocking all the paths through which the guards could interrupt all the prisoner\'s escape. Obviously, if the guards come across the prisoners, it will be over for them who have no way of using their system or mana, perhaps."
Michael almost stumbles down before gaining back his momentum as he blinks his eyes and looks at Zero more carefully than before. "I know it is not the right time but… My name is Michael Morningstar. I-" he begins speaking, but Zero interrupts him,
"Not now. First, we need to meet up with the other prisoners and get out of here. If you feel the need to get a connection with me, I will provide a means later."
At Zero\'s words, Michael nods before turning silent. After this point, both Zero and Michael mostly kept quiet as they ran across the hall.
After another hour or so of running, both Zero and Michael reach a wide hall where various men and women were gathered. Other than a few exceptions, most of them had an anxious look as they saw the new group that arrived before tending to their own doings.
Zero observes everyone, and a smile appears on his face as he looks at the number of people he managed to save. As he was scanning through the crowd, his gaze came across a certain lady standing anxiously in a certain corner by herself.
Clair\'s gaze then suddenly turned to Zero, and an expression mixed with shock and relief came across her face before she started walking towards Zero.
"Are you okay?" she spoke as soon as she reached closer to Zero and Zero nods before taking out an orange sword and returning it back to her. Taking her weapon in her hand, a shocked yet confused expression comes to her face as she observes Zero.
Ignoring her, Zero began walking towards the crowd and spoke in a loud voice," Ladies and Gentlemen. May I have your attention, please?"
The others began looking at him, wondering what he was up to. Some noticed the sword in Clair\'s hand, but before they could get a proper reaction, Zero began talking again.
"So we have decided to take a short break from the drill." At this sentence, everyone\'s eyes, including both Michael\'s and Clair\'s, turn a bit shocked as they observe the kid.
"In this break, we shall replenish our strength and get back to our top form before getting out of here. You may or may not know, but outside that gate lies a world filled with horrors and terror. There lie about a hundred men with guns ready to neutralise you and probably a bunch of B ranked men to get you back into your cell. Now, we can\'t have that, can we? So your all favourite, Zero, will provide you with gifts to fight through the ordeal…. Ummm… well that is all I have to say…." he spoke as he began walking towards one of them and took out a dagger and threw it at the man before moving towards the next.
Although reluctant at first, when those men saw the weapons he was giving them, they could not help but give a second glance to Zero. After all, what he was giving them wasn\'t a new weapon but… their own weapons and artifacts back to them.
The more they looked at him, the more mysterious he seemed to them. Most of them wanted to ask questions like who was he or why was he doing all this, but for some reason, no one questioned his actions at all. They simply waited for their turn to take the weapons and after all of it was done… Once again, Zero turned off the charm magic he was using and closed his eyes as he stood there.
Zero then pointed at a woman in a corner to come forward. Though a bit reluctant, she gulped before walking forward to Zero. Zero took out a mana potion from his pocket and gave it to her as he spoke with a smile on his face,"I will unlock your mana channels and system. Can you help with the healing? As you can see, I am not really in a good condition right now."
