My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse-Chapter 212 Mack Betrayal 1
A man walked with trembling legs, covered in blood with various injuries on his body. The continuous stream of heavy rain couldn't wash off the thick blood. He raised his head with some difficulty and looked at the distance.
"I'm almost there." He muttered.
After working a couple of meters, suddenly, a man jumped out from a half-destroyed building and stood in front of him with a shield and spear.
"Halt! Who are you?" He said in a deep voice.
The strange man halted his track and looked at the man in front of him and a bright smile appeared on his face. "Can't you recognize my face?" He said with some difficulty as he gasped for air.
Hearing the man's voice, the guard froze for a moment and fixed his gaze on the bloody man. 'His voice sounded like Captain Mack?' He furrowed.
"What's your name?"
"Captain Mack…"
When he heard this, dropped his shield slightly and moved closer to him. After a couple of seconds, he confirmed that he was actually Mack and he widened his eyes as he quickly rushed to support him.
"Captain! What happened to you?" He asked as his voice raised an octave.
…
Inside the ark, Susan and Nika looked at the injured Mack with solemn expressions on their faces as various thoughts were running through their mind.
"Is he going to be alright?" Susan asked, staring at Vera.
"Yes. He only sustained a fleshy wound. He should wake up after a couple of rest." She responded and left the med bay.
2 hours later.
"Are you alright?" Nika asked.
Hmm!
"Y-yes.." Mack answered with some difficulty as he was still drowsy.
"Can you tell me what happened?" He asked in an urgent voice.
"Sure."
Quickly, he narrated everything to him and Nika listened with rapt attention. When Mack finished narrating his ordeal, Nika was quiet without uttering a word. Watching his expression, Mack squinted his gaze for a moment before his expression returned to normal.
"You can rest for the time being. Leave everything to me." Nika patted his shoulder twice and left the room.
A couple of minutes after he left, Robert entered the med bay and went to Mack's bed. Seeing him, Mack's expression changed, turning into an evil smile.
"Are you ready?" He whispered.
"Yes. Everything is ready?"Robert responded.
"Good. Good. Wait for my signal."
Robert nodded with a satisfying smile on his face as he left the med bay. Watching his back, Mack closed his eyes as he thought of various things. 'It only a matter of time before I took my people from this tyrant, nobody that calls himself a king.'
Deep inside the city, a group of people stood around an old woolen table while their commander looked in the direction of the subway.
"Commander, do you really trust that man?" A woman asked in a low voice.
For a moment, the commander did not respond as he was lost. He took a deep breath and looked at the woman. "I don't trust him but I trust my instinct…" He paused for a moment before he walked to the table slowly. "With the look on his face, he would definitely betray his people."
Hearing this, the men sighed and shook their heads. To them, betrayal was not something new. Since the world was in chaos, the dark side of human beings was totally on full display and betrayal was the least of their worries. Besides, they had their share of betrayal among them. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖
"What should we do?" Another person asked.
"We wait… Besides, the time for the Terra-saw to attack is imminent."
…
Outside the ark, Mack in bandages leads Nika and a group of soldiers toward the direction of the city. In the group were Robert and the men from the unmarked section. Also, a young girl at the age of 8 or 9 matches beside Nika with confidence. Obviously, she was Lola.
"Uncle Mack, don't worry. We would take revenge for you against the bad guys." Her childish voice echoed in the quiet street.
A bright smile crept up Mack's face. "I trust my little Lola to take revenge for me." He averted his gaze and the smile disappeared from his face. 'I'm sorry…. I had no choice but to do this. I promise to give you the best life possible. I believe you will understand my decision in the future.'
Walking under the heavy rain, the group didn't care as they continued to march toward their target. Robert and Mack communicate with their eyes while their men form a group.
Crack!
A deafening thunder echoed in the sky, followed by the yellow streak light of lightning. Nika and his group looked at the sky for a moment and continued. "What a bizarre atmosphere." He muttered before turning to Mack. "How long before we reach there?"
"In the next couple of streets." He responded while his eyes searched for specific people.
…
"Commander!" A voice came from outside as a young man drenched in rain rushed into the building. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚
"What?" The commander said.
"They are coming?" he said as he tried to catch his breath.
Hearing this, the expression of the men changed into a bright smile. "I know the commander will never be wrong in his judgment?" A fat man with an unruly beard stood and picked his weapon. A scythe.
"Gather your men and let us welcome our visitors." The commander said with a light smile on his face.
Meanwhile, Nika and his men walked on the street filled with water. If not for the strong physique and cultivation level. Some of them would be affected by the strong wind and running water. Most especially, Lola.
But with the look of things, her expression showed she was having the best time of her life. She gripped the saber on her waist and muttered in annoyance.
"Where are they? I'm getting irritated by this rain."
Just then, a loud cry came from the distance as a group of men armed with assault rifles and cold weapons rushed toward their location. Seeing this, a bright smile crept on her face.
"Finally!" She rushed forward without waiting for Nika's order.
