Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 76: Do you want to get us all killed?

"What a rude kid....and where do you know me from?" Muku asked curiously.

"I caught big sister looking at a picture of you on her phone almost every day before the apocalypse" Elsa unhesitatingly sold out her sister in less than five minutes since she saved her.

"Oh.... I don’t think that’s something you should be telling me. Though I do wonder where Emily got a picture of me; I never use photos on social media or anything like that," Muku replied while smiling wryly, of course, the latter part of the sentence was something he only thought but didn’t say out loud.

"If you’re wondering where she got your picture, she took it when you were distracted around six months ago. The jerk even refused to share it!" Jade added to the fire by revealing even more dirt on Emily. And like Muku, she kept the latter statement to herself. Chloe didn’t know whether to laugh or cry for Emily for having such a sister and best friend.

"Okay, okay, whatever, can we move on to something else now? Here, place her on this" Muku spoke with an eye roll while creating a floating board for Jade to lay down Emily on. Elsa looked at the scene with curious eyes; she hadn’t seen many mystical abilities in action, so everything they did was new and interesting to her.

"Isn’t she too calm for someone who just went through all that?" Chloe couldn’t help but ask, seeing Elsa, who now looked quite normal, other than her extra thin body.

"Oh, that; I remember Emily saying that her little sister is a weirdo and doesn’t easily show her real emotions to most people. So maybe that’s what’s happening now". Jade replied, unbothered by Elsa’s calmness. Hearing her speak, Elsa looked at the unconscious Emily with a look of betrayal in her eyes. Clearly, she forgot that she had just sold out her big sister not too long ago.

"So she’s like Layla then?". Hope commented.

"Yeah, probably something like that". Jade replied while nodding in agreement.

"I wouldn’t advise saying it in front of Layla, though... unless maybe you want to know what being an ice cube feels like", Chloe immediately cautioned them.

"Pfft, there’s no way Layla would do such a thing....right?" Jade laughed not believing it, but she wasn’t as sure at the end after remembering how she was the reason Layla learned her ice spikes skill.

"She probably wouldn’t, but I won’t take the chance. Thanks for the warning Chloe". Unlike Jade, Hope wasn’t suicidal, so she took heed of the warning.

"Hey, is my big sister going to be okay?" Elsa interjected after seeing them go off track.

"Oh, right, don’t worry kid, your sister will be fine. This is a regular thing for her. In fact, she’ll wake up stronger". Jade replied to Elsa.

"Aren’t you going to introduce us?" Chloe asked Jade.

"What, why should I? We all never met her before; you do it!" Jade replied, not wanting to do the troublesome task.

"Umm, actually, I know you; big sis showed me your photos. And since you know me too. It can be said we know each other, right?". Elsa spoke after Jade before anyone else could say anything.

"Tsk, so you’re also a smartass like she said" Jade was annoyed but she still introduced the group to Elsa. Though not without complaining and demanding more meat when they return.

"With the introductions done, I think we should return back to the base for now. We can come back another day." Muku said as he walked out of the room and the board on which Emily was on, floated after him. Seeing the board float away, Elsa immediately followed after it with a little agency and panic in her eyes, it seemed she wasn’t as calm as she seemed. The other girls followed after them.

.....

"Oh hello, you must be the boss of this here establishment. I’m Muku, and this is my time; sorry for the little commission one of my people caused; I hope you can ignore it," Muku said with a smile while looking at Jack. Jack was surprised by how he easily identified him before he even said anything. The people behind him wanted to say something but he stopped them with a raise of his hand.

"Ah, I see that you’re a smart person, I like smart people. Anyway, something came up and we have to leave for now. But we’ll return soon enough and properly talk. I’m sure you’ve already noticed our humble aboard, a few kilometres north of here, so we can be said to be neighbours now. And thanks for not snooping around, that would have put all of us in an awkward position. Ah!, where are my manners? I didn’t even ask for the base leader’s name..". Muku rumbled on for a bit, the harmless smile not leaving his face.

"I’m Jack". Jack didn’t say much in response.

"Oh, so it’s Leader Jack, nice name, nice name indeed. Well, leader Jack, like I said, we’ll have to talk another day," Muku said while looking at Jack, his expression unchanging.

"Hey!, you think you can just come here and do whatever you...Mhmh Mhmh!" Sarah exploded in anger, but before she could finish what she wanted to say, Jack covered her mouth and signalled his people to open a path for Muku’s group. To which they unwillingly complied.

"Thank you for your understanding Leader Jack. Oh, and that little lady over there is one of my people’s younger sisters, so I’ll be taking her with me. I’m sure you can see the resemblance they have. So you understand right?" Muku said while gesturing for his group to pass through. Jack only nodded, his hand not leaving Sarah’s mouth whose eyes were now basically burning with anger. She really didn’t like it when someone didn’t show respect for her man.

Muku then followed after his group and left under the watchful gazes of the university safe zone people. They were all surprised when the board on which the unconscious girl was on, increased in size and the rest got on and it flew away.

...

"Why were you so submissive to that asshole! How dare he come to our base, do what he wants and leave!?" Sarah shouted at Jack after he finally removed his hand from her mouth.

"WOMAN, DO YOU WANT TO GET US ALL KILLED!?" Jack exploded, startling everyone including Sarah, this was the first time he ever shouted at her

"I’m sorry for shouting; I lost my cool for a bit there", Jack apologised, seeing her eyes getting teary and showing a wronged expression.

"You see that man...no, that monster. He could have easily killed every one of us in this safe zone. In fact, even the green-haired girl could do it alone. The rest of them didn’t seem like pushovers either. I’m currently at 10% Half-step Rank Two and yet I felt like an ant in front of them!" Jack explained himself.

"Really, it can’t be that bad, right? I’m sure we could have held our own if we joined hands". Sarah was still sceptical and felt that Jack was exaggerating.

"Can you go check on the situation in Dean’s room?" Jack didn’t argue with her and gave her an order instead. Although she didn’t know why he’d go off track like that, she still did as she was told.

"My god!" Sarah exclaimed as strength left her legs and she fell to the ground, her hands on her mouth, fear in her eyes. Everyone immediately went over to see what was wrong, they were all also struck with fear when they looked into the room. Though Jack didn’t even bother to go look, he already knew that there would be nothing good in there.

The room was empty and spotless. And that was the scary part. When Muku’s group came, there was a lot of furniture in it but now there was nothing. Not a thing, not even Dean and his two goons. The same dean who was also a 10% Half-step Rank Two like Jack. Which meant only one thing. He, his minions, and all the furniture in the room were destroyed into nothingness. And yet the walls were untouched.

Such absurd strength! Such absurd control over it! Everyone felt cold sweat run down their spines with horror filling their eyes. They felt gratitude for Jack and his instincts, or they would have provoked those monsters and gotten erased from existence.

"I’m sorry; I’ll never argue with you again! I’ll always do what you say from now on" Sarah said after wobbling herself to Jack and giving him a hug. Though it was more to seek comfort and safety in his arms than to show how apologetic she was.

"It’s fine. And there shouldn’t be a need to fear them too much. From Dean’s personality, I’m certain it was his fault that he got killed. I’m actually glad that they didn’t kill the rest of us off in anger, so they shouldn’t be unreasonable killers," Jack said, trying to comfort Sarah along with everyone else.

"So what will we do now? How will we deal with them?" Sarah asked.

"I’m not sure myself, well just have to figure something out when they show up next time. Though that doesn’t mean we should stop living, so let’s continue with our plans as we made them before they showed up" Jack said while clenching his fist. He never felt so weak, even in front of the Rank Two beast even though it was a lot stronger than the monsters. Back then, it just made sense for him for the beast to be that strong.

But for fellow humans to make him feel so weak?. How was that possible with all the work he put into getting stronger?
