Chapter 302: Betrayal
Chapter 302: Betrayal
Half an hour later, four drones stealthily approached and surrounded a middle school in the Tokyo suburb district.
At the same time, the Bugatti Spaceship began approaching from afar. It quickly landed on a rooftop near the abandoned school.
When Fujiwara Aoki stepped out of the spaceship, his expression was full of powerlessness. “Chen Chen-kun, since you’ve already had an idea of the location of our group, why not come here directly? Why must you bring me along?”
“It’s easier to gain your group’s trust if I bring you along with me, otherwise your friends may think that you were met with misfortune.”
Chen Chen answered.
“But if you do it this way, the leader might think that I led you to them...”
Fujiwara Aoki refuted in a low voice.
Chen Chen did not bother with giving further explanations. After all, he came to figure out the situation so he would do whatever it took for him to obtain the information he was after. If these people were not going to tell him what he needed, he did not mind resorting to more violent methods and inject them with the truth serum.
With this in mind, Chen Chen had the three Black Knights watch over the ship while he took Fujiwara Aoki with him and approached the main entrance of the school.
From the outside, this appeared to be a completely deserted school. Even the iron fence gates had long collapsed due to lack of maintenance. Dense vines grew all over the compound and the buildings like a thick rug laying over them.
Fujiwara and his group of survivors were well aware of the rules of survival in the end times. Nobody would be able to figure out at first glance that this abandoned school was the gathering point of a small group of survivors.
Right after stepping through the main entrance, Chen Chen could faintly feel peering eyes surrounding him from all sides. However, since he took off the PK Armor, he did not have access to thermal imaging vision to spot where the sentries were posted.
“Chen Chen-kun, please come with me.”
Fujiwara Aoki decided that his words were not of much use. He let out a sigh before leading the way to the largest school building.
This building was probably the main lecture area of Daisan High School. It was the largest and also tallest of them all and functioned as the main sector of the compound. Based on the competency that this surviving group had displayed, they had good reason to not use this building as a primary meeting spot.
Since Fujiwara Aoki was leading him to this building first, this further proved that this building was designated as a defensive building. The group must have strategized ahead of time that in the event where one of their members was captured, the captured member could lead the enemy here for the group to ambush.
When Chen Chen considered this, he only flicked an eyebrow gently without saying a word. He continued to silently trail behind Fujiwara Aoki.
It was only when they arrived outside the building when Fujiwara Aoki finally stole a calculative glance at Chen Chen. He gently pushed open the entrance. “Chen Chen-kun, please come in with me.”
At this point, Chen Chen had a sharp and clear impression of someone stalking him from the darkness. Apart from that, he also sensed a slight sting in his temples. Chen Chen had attained a form of bioelectricity sensitivity ever since acquiring “Field”.
The faint pangs of pain he felt in his temple implied that whoever was hiding in the darkness harbored ominous intent toward him.
“I believe that you may have been mistaken.”
Chen Chen knitted his brows together. Instead of following Fujiwara Aoki into the building, he snickered and said, “I came here to speak with your group, not to be butchered. What’s the meaning of this?”
“What, what do you mean?”
Fujiwara Aoki chuckled uncomfortably. “I’m only following the procedures of our group. If you want to join our group, this is the required process...”
“Is that so?”
Chen Chen’s expression turned grim. “This is what I get in return for the great generosity I have displayed? In that case, have your leader come out here and talk with me right here. Just know that my patience is limited.”
“This...”
Fujiwara Aoki’s expression changed. He was well aware that Chen Chen was not alone since there were the three accomplices wearing the GS Combat Suit as well as the small-sized spacecraft. If a battle were to break out, there was no way his small group could put up a fight against their opponents.
“Still not willing to come out?”
Chen Chen turned in the direction of the school building and looked into the pitch-black windows, he beckoned, “If you guys aren’t going to come out, then allow me to have someone escort you out.”
The color went out of Fujiwara Aoki’s face when he heard this. Before he could get a word in, four rapid swishes slicing across the air could be heard. At the same time, the parrot on his shoulders began chirping endlessly. Something fast seemed to be approaching!
“Ah!”
“Idiot!”
Following the abrupt commotion, Fujiwara Aoki could hear several shrieks coming from the windows in the building. It was only then when he finally realized that four nearly completely transparent drones had appeared above him without him noticing!
That was not the end of it. The four drones appeared to be the signal for the small spaceship that took him here. He saw that the spaceship was also approaching from afar!
At the same time, there was a blue flash of light as Chen Chen’s figure instantly vanished into thin air. From where Fujiwara Aoki stood, he only caught a glimpse of a figure dashing into the school building.
Fujiwara Aoki’s expression became twisted as he gritted his teeth and made a resolution. He took out a gun and aimed it at the distorted air. “Chen Chen-kun, stop this immediately or else I will... Ah!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a flash of pain coursing along his arm. When he instinctively looked down to inspect the pain, he saw his right wrist still holding the gun had been sliced off. The cut was so clean it was as if it had been polished!
Chen Chen hardly paid a second thought to Fujiwara Aoki. After entering the building under the guise of invisibility, he immediately went toward the classroom where the drone fired a bullet into. Just as he stepped into the classroom, he met a tough-looking, large, and stocky man who was howling miserably and clutching his right hand as he dashed out of the classroom.
Unlike Fujiwara Aoki, the right hand of this large man had turned into an indistinguishable mash of meat.
Survivors in the end times were few and far between. If not for Chen Chen needing to keep them alive to obtain information, it would not just be the right hand of this man that was turned into lumps of flesh.
The large man did not notice Chen Chen who was invisible. He continued charging for the door with his unwounded hand clutching his bleeding hand. Chen Chen instantly grabbed the man by his neck while at the same time forming a fist with his left hand and viciously jabbed it into the man’s stomach!
More than half of Chen Chen’s arm instantly sunk into the large beer belly of the charging man...
“Oof!”
Suddenly ambushed, the brawny man barely had the strength to whimper. His eyes turned into giant globes as he clutched at his stomach and slid into the ground, temporarily losing his mobility.
There was a scarcely-used medical term for such a scenario – stomach coma.
