The loud shots of magnum and shotguns echoing through the hall, light flashes over and over again, for what seems like eternity, the bandits screaming at each other like maniacs:
"He’s there, shoot shoot!!", "over there go, you dumbass" screamed another.
The adrenaline rushing through my veins, only gets me more eager for the fight. I smiled to myself thinking what would happen in the upcoming minutes; although I’ve done this several times it never ceases to amaze me.
Why am I here? Because I need food, and my food supplies are running low, it is the same for the men struggling in this rotten warehouse.
Since the cataclysm that happened upon the earth ten years ago, they weren't many survivors, but those who are left needed to find a way to keep living, that is why they started looking for food and clean water; a hard currency these days. Some of them even started establishing small villages or at least that’s what I heard.
I shoved my hand in my pocket, looking for my blower; the blower is an engine made in 2450, it was used to inject people with drugs, it was adopted for years from different countries to empower their soldiers, but it proved to be more harm than good and got forbidden later on, such as a lot of stuff in the period of cataclysm.
Two idiots ran across the room, just inches away from where I was standing, watching as they were struggling to find me, in their run they crossed the thread I put in the way, which leaded to a bottle on the shelf. Of course the bottle dropped down and the bandits started shooting aimlessly, something that I find quite funny, let them waste their ammunition i thought.
The cataclysm is the five hundred years war that almost led to the extinction of the human race, ironically it started right after the worldwide decision to get rid of all nuclear bombs. Well at least it ended up by the destruction of all arms of warfare, most of them any way, as the load bang behind me witnesses.
"Damn it! where is he?"
"You tell me idiot!!"
As the bandits kept their bickering, i counted them to be seven. Voila, finally found the blower, this small thing that matters so much, I still have only three more shots, guess I'll soon need to find more but that won’t be a problem I hope.
I exposed my arm, and put the engine on my arm injecting the heavenly demonic liquid in my blood. It took only seconds to feel its effects: hyper up my senses, and the wave of energy pouring in my veins, here we go.
For me, it seems that time slows up, and every thing happens in slow motion, but unlike every thing around me, I was going on a normal speed. I took a step out of my hideout, holding my two magnums up , pointing them to the men standing in front of me, two of them were looking my way, but they were too slow to move their weapons, way too slow. I shot them in the head without second thoughts; the impact sent them flying in the air. I shot the other two as well, not wasting any more time, I skipped where another two were standing, i watched as the sound of my shots reached them, as they grow rigid and alarmed. I sent them flying to the wall.
Six down, one more to go, I glanced to the right to see him standing the machine gun on his hands, he pushed the trigger, I jumped behind the bloc of cases just in time to avoid getting a hole on my body. The actions started to get back to normal speed; not that the effects of the drug had wear out, it is just that the good part is done. I waited ten seconds before he started reloading his weapon, of course he is not stupid to stay in the open, he hid. I run to where he was standing, my moves were so swift that, he had no chances to hear me coming, he didn't took notice of my presence next to him, until I put the tips of my guns on his forehead.
"Is there any backups?" I asked harshly, not wanting to waste any more time.
The man started sweating, and dropped his gun without me needing to tell him so.
"Please spare my life" He pleaded.
"Is there any backups?" I asked again more fiercely, patience slowly slipping.
"No no no" Those were his last words before a bullet travelled through his skull from the tip of my gun to the other side of his head.
I watched him as he fell on the floor with a loud thud.
"That’s what happens when you provoke the black demon".
