Chapter 62: No Matter Where You Are, I’ll Find You

"Hey... why are you being so stubborn, building manager?"

"You should have convinced them like we told you; now look at you, trying to play smart has led you to this."

Orcula’s face was swollen, bruises all over his face and body and sitting on the floor of his apartment with Brad and his crew around menacingly.

As the leader of the squad team of residents; Brad had tried to force Orcula for a whole day to have him convince his squad to lead the charge as they tried to make it to escape out of the building; but he he had refused knowing full well their intentions.

He had first been forced to disband the group chat of the building for some reason; now these people were trying to force them to their deaths. And though their numbers is greater than theirs; their overall strength does not compare.

"Listen here, Orcula.... Or is it Desmond. You either lead those group of sheeps to pave the way for us to the state college; or i end you here."

Seeing Brad’s tone, and the murderous intent surging from him as well as the rest of them; Orcula dejectedly began to contact all the combatants in the building to gather.

He himself only have a simple non combatant ability; it was versatile enough, but it wasn’t that useful at the moment, so he has no choice but to play along.

The charge out of the building consisted of A team of fifteen lead by Orcula, paving the part, shouldering the loses as the made it to the parking lot with Brad’s team of seven following closely behind.

But on reaching the parking lot, the found there wasn’t just a limited number of vehicles which was only one, but there also wasn’t any gas in the vehicle. So they began to fight their way outside, trying to locate a vehicle large enough and in good condition to ferry a good amount of them.

By the time they reached a suitable minivan which still had some gas in it; Orcula’s team of fifteen had dwindled down to seven, but the mutants weren’t stopping; flooding towards them as them continued to fight for their lives.

Brad and his team entered first, with one of the twins taking the steering wheel as the vehicle revved to life, Orcula and the rest squeezing in and out to fight off mutants that crowded the van as they drove through the stampede of the mutants.

Before long, another member of Ocular team died, and the vehicle was soon swamped by mutants; forcing everyone to get out and fight a brutal battle, running towards the nearest closest minivan yet again.

This continued for about three or more hours until the finally reached the state college. At this point; only Orcula was left on the team, including the rest of Brad and his team who had barely exerted themselves. They had finally escaped the worst part of the city; the heart of the city and they have reached the college.

With Olivia taking the lead, her skill pointing her directly to the last known location of Tessa; the reached in front of the facilities building; and as feared there was no one there. Olivia’s ability had a long cool down, so they fought their way into the facilities building, until the reached the basketball court which was boarded from the inside.

"Open up before we burst this shit down!"

One of the twins barked at the entrance and after a moment of silence, a few people came and began to remove the obstructions at the entrance to let the group who had caused such a ruckus in. They all looked tense and hopeful, maybe this people might be the rescue but seeing some familiar faces of students like them, and knowing dull well Brad’s personality; that hope soon faded from their faces.

With them making a quick entry, the door was quickly boarded shut yet again, as Brad and his crew looked to the survivors inside.

"Now answer quick... whose the leader of the group here?"

It didn’t take long for a large young man to step out intimidatingly from the coach’s office; the rest of the young man’s crew following behind as they stepped up to Brad and his crew. This was Marcus.

"Here i am. And who the fuck are you guys to come strutting into here bringing all this noise?"

"Oh?"

Brad smiled seeing Marcus was trying to assert his dominance. A grin crossed his lips as his fist ignited in flames which he sent spiraling towards Marcus’s torso; faster than the giant of a man could react, Brad’s flaming fist met him with a loud explosion, sending him flying through the court and slamming back first into the wall.

Marcus instantly lost consciousness; the rest of his team shriveled back and made way. Brad stepped up to Marcus, tapping him awake on the chin as the young man’s eyes opened with newfound terror at the person in front of him.

"You are quite strong.... I intended to cause you to explode into bits with that punch, but you only got a bruise."

Marcus was actually bleeding from the mouth. That hit had caused him several internal wounds, He certainly couldn’t take another. This person in front of him was monstrously strong for an Esper; something wasn’t adding up.

"What do you want?"

Marcus managed to utter in defeat, and brad smiled as he questioned him about seeing anyone like Damon and his crew.

Marcus excitedly detailed the encounter ha hd with them, and even offered to join Brad’s crew to hunt Damon and the other down. Marcus had a bone to pick with two people in that group, and he would gladly see them wrecked.

Since Olivia’s skill had a cooldown time; they all setting into their new accommodations for the moment; As once the couldn’t was over; the hunt for Damon and his crew would continue.

"No matter were you are, Tessa. I will find you!."
