YM778.TV Chapter 343 Cannibals
"What is going on here?" I heard Wang Chao ask. Opening my eye, I looked around. We were in the middle of a street in the middle of the night. It wasn\'t one of those places that I wanted to be, and it had nothing to do with my introverted personality believing that the day ended at 7 pm.
There was a light coming from behind me, and I turned to look at Liu Wei, who was holding a flashlight in his left hand and a gun in his right. His arms were crossed at the wrists with his right hand on top. It took me a second to realize that it allowed the flashlight and the muzzle of the gun to be perfectly lined up so he could see what he was going to shoot. Or, in this case, who.
"Apparently, they are cranky that we paused for a second," said Liu Yu Zeng, his two arms outstretched at his side, both holding his 9mms.
"You were stopped for more than a second," growled the man whose throat was firmly grasped by Chen Zi Han. Clearly, I had missed a lot when I was dealing with Violence and the other two voices. However, seeing as I wanted to rip the skins off of the cannibalistic men, I would say that Violence had managed to push Romance and Sadness back for a bit.
Thank God, because I really didn\'t like where Romance\'s head was at.
"Well, now you are the ones keeping us waiting here. Aren\'t we in a hurry? I would like to get to wherever we are going before any zombies show up," I said with a smile. The faster we got to the compound, the faster we could kill everyone and the faster I could get my hands on that device.
"They are going to have to give up their guns," growled one of the men with his own automatic weapon pointed at Wang Chao.
"That will happen around the same time that you get rid of yours," sneered Chen Zi Han, not backing down for a second. Man, that guy was sexy…. \'Romance!!!!\' I thought with a growl. I thought we had settled that!
\'Sorry, not her that time,\' said Violence, and I could swear I heard embarrassment in her voice. \'I have a thing for men capable of mass destruction, so sue me,\' she said snarkily.
\'Hey,\' I said, my hands up in the air in surrender. \'I am with you on that one!\'
\'Of course, you are,\' she said with a huff. \'Now, for the hundredth time. Pay attention!\'
I shook my head and, with a flick of my wrist, I took the guns from everyone. And, while I may or may not have put the guns back into the boys\' hidden holsters, the guns from the cannibals remained firmly in my space.
"There, now none of you have guns. Can we keep going now?" I asked. I crossed my arms over my chest and started to tap my foot on the pavement.
"Give us back our guns!" shouted the fake Chen Zi Han as the original let go of his throat.
"Sure, once we get to your compound," I reassured him. I was lying through my teeth, but he didn\'t need to know that. "And I would once again like to point out that you are the one holding us back. We are good to go."
There was a grumble from the \'enforcer,\' but he signaled his men to get going. "Turn off the light. The zombies will see us," he sneered at Liu Wei. Bless the man for looking at me before so much as moving.
"Keep it on, I need to see where I am going. I\'ll end up breaking my leg, get a blood infection of some kind or other, and have my flesh completely contaminated by the infection that it is completely useless," I said with a shrug of my shoulders as I took a step forward. I grasped onto both Chen Zi Han and Liu Yu Zeng with unneeded theatrics, trying to prove my point.
"Fine, he can keep the light on. Just be more careful," said the \'enforcer,\' his eyes wide with concern.
"You know, Princess, that was oddly specific. Is there something you aren\'t telling us?" growled Chen Zi Han in my ear, and I tried to suppress the shiver his voice gave me every damn time.
I looked at him in embarrassment, not knowing how to tell him without letting the outsiders know that I knew what they know. Before I could blink, I was swung up in his arms. He had me pinned high on his chest so my mouth was naturally by his ear.
"Spill," he growled again. I paused for a second. I was rather comfy like this. If I told him about the cannibals, would he put me back on the ground and make me walk? I don\'t know how much I like that idea.
I must have taken a while to answer his question because he let out a very put-out sigh. "I won\'t put you down. Just let me know what we are walking into."
"Cannibals," I whispered into his ear as I wrapped my arms around his neck, holding tightly so he couldn\'t put me down even if he tried. It was a long day, and I was tired.
"I don\'t know if it is because the world is such a fucked-up place, or I am just confused, but you are going to have to expand on that, Princess," said Chen Zi Han. I felt bad because I could practically feel how tired he was.
"According to the stories that I had heard, around here was a compound that practiced cannibalism," I said softly. By the way Liu Yu Zeng, Wang Chao, and Liu Wei were leaning in, I knew that they could hear me too. Good, it saved me from having to repeat myself.
