No Longer Human In Apocalyptic World

BEG FOR ONE'S LIFE

Nearly after half an hour.

The Heacrepno Two arrived at their location, where the young man their Senior Six had previously saved was waving frantically as soon as he got down from the aircraft. There was a black bag on the other's back. It was what he took at their facility after deciding to leave Sarpencia's group.

Amidst the desire to reveal what was inside his bag.

Seeing the dark and gloomy atmosphere of both teams put an end to all of his plans.

Meanwhile, Heacrepno One's group have noticed all the other team's disheveled appearance of injured people and have ideas that they have surely encountered a few problematic issues as well. Roya quickly helped the other doctor's of the team as those who were rescued wanted to rest at the corner.

"It is a good thing Four arrived, or those monstrous insects would eat us all alive. The South is teeming with dangerous beasts." Hulian informs Sarpencia as they stand near the window's transparent glass. The people behind them are resting with the rescued individuals that they have met by chance on their way.

"How did your team fare?"

"One had been stabbed."

"Stabbed by? Beast?"

"Aliens."

"Aliens?" Hulian let the thought sink in.

When they entered the empty space of void as their mode of transportation it was felt surreal to them. After that, the aircraft appeared flying in the south area where a large number of beasts is roaming. It is also where they met their Four accidentally, who was at the time in a killing spree of wild beasts.

First and foremost, they were saved by their assigned Human Coded Subject at the time when they decided to go down to check if there are any survivors in the building in the middle of the lone forest. They have almost become a meal for those collosal beasts without even realizing it. Despite the fact that the other members are hurt. It is preferable than becoming a part of the flesh. Then, on their way here, they never encountered any 'Aliens'-looking creatures.

"How did they appear?" He wonders.

"You wouldn't want to meet one." BG Kinley approached, a solemn expression on his face.

"He is going to die, Sir."

Sarpencia turned around. Then he quickly followed his subordinate after hearing it.

Hulian trailed behind, curious about the other team's member situation.

"Brother Yu, Brother Yu," someone sobbed beside the pale-skinned man on the bed.

Yuheiyo's appearance has gradually lost all of its human red blood, leaving him in a complete wash of white and the black veins have started to get more visible over his body, from arms, legs, and even his face.

He doesn't seem to be breathing at all.

"What happened to him?" Hulian gasped.

"We don't know," Dr. Roya began, "but he changes like this as time passes since we cleaned his wounds."

"Strange." 2LT Sia made a remark to the side, crossing his arms as if he was thinking hard.

"It appears that seven is correct; he will die."

"He can't die...he can't die."Deserell utter over and over again.

"Young man, this is a battleground, and anyone can die." Hulian said something that was never meant to comfort anyone.

However, before he could say up anything else, Sarpencia stepped on his boots and gave him a pair of dagger-like eyes.

Those people who were familiar with the certain Captain's expression take a look at the ground and have noticed what is happening below. Resulting in them to winced internally, knowing how painful it was to be stepped on the feet without a mercy by someone else's strength, and especially when it was Sarpencia doing it.

You can say goodbye to your feet.

Then, Hulian chose to remain silent.

"Find a clean curtain for him, wrap his body after, and then we'll take him back to the base after all of this," Sarpencia's words before walking away from the scene.

"Huh, wait, wait, Captain!" Deserell shouted from the top of his lungs.

It was loud enough to be heard by everyone else in the room.

Turning his body to look back, Sarpencia coldly looked at the crying person.

"I believe we can still save him," came a whisper of Deserell's broken voice.

"With what? Their special blood, you were saying?" Their Captain's voice is cold and authoritative, making others quickly feel they are inferior to such a person like the man before them.

Hulian who had heard it understood the significance of the situation. He stood his ground, refusing to join or ask but remaining to listen.

Deserell was deafeningly silent, as if he lacked the words to retaliate against his Captain.

While Sarpencia turned around without saying anything else.

Then the depressing atmosphere of the Heacrepno One's team was all left.

It was only the first day, and their team had already lost one member.

Wasn't that a tragedy?

This is simply too cruel for them.

Those who were on another special team were secretly relieved that they received injuries rather than losing a member so soon or their own lives. Despite the fact that they are aware that their lives are at stake here, every seconds count. Their situation was better compared to that of the other group.

Deserell never spoke again after that, sitting in the chair beside Yuheiyo.

The other members have only stayed at their respective locations, resting for a while before moving onto their next plan after this. As they were seemingly waiting for what was supposed to happen at their comrade. It has been a long and tiring minute for the group. But it didn't last long when 18041216 (Four) suddenly made his appearance.

"Four!" Hulian greeted, sounding pleased to see his partner.

The paper bag head moved slightly, nodding. With like wisps of smoke, the little open empty space of void vanished behind him.

"We sensed it, they've already appeared—

"Four, four, Senior Four!" Deserell crying voice rang across the room as he ran to the Human Code Subject, whose face is hidden behind the paper bag. He quickly drops on the ground as he starts to beg in a form of kowtowing back and fourth.

"Please, please, help me, Senior Four!"

"Deserell!" BG Lace bellowed.

Heading on his way to the young man who appears to be unconcerned about his own life anymore.

Following 18072519 (seven) previous violent and ruthless reactions.

Entire team of Heacrepno One has feared the worst-case scenario if they allowed their teammate to continue doing this.

"What are you doing? Get up!"

"Can't you see I'm begging? Even if it had means being kicked a thousand times, I'll endure it. Only they can save Brother Yu!" Deserell insisted on yelling back at the older man. His broken voice can be heard all over the place, breaking many people's hearts as they tried desperately not to listen or watch.

Even when that more powerful arm had already embraced his little waist, pulling him up. He was struggling to break free.

Then he resumes dropping in front of 18041216 (Four) and continued cries for help.

Hulian already knows what this young man is up to.

Human Code Subjects, according to what he heard from his brother-in-arms, have blood that can help their member's dying situation. And he also discovered what happened with these young people a while ago. He turned to his side, looking at his 18041216 (Four) and then wanted to ask him first before becoming violent, as 18072519 (Seven) had done previously.

However, it appears that there is no need.

"Has Twenty-Five ever been here before?"

Deserell, who had heard the calm voice of 18041216 (Four), looked up, his eyes welling up with tears. "Ye–yes?"

"....."

"Four?" Hulian voiced.

"Then have your group encounter one of them?" 18041216 (Four) asked, looking down on the crying human.

Hulian, on the other hand, notices that his partner is becoming more chatty. It made him wanting to drink vinegar as when it comes to him. The other wouldn't talk at all, unless it is business's sake.

"Yes!" Deserell replied quickly. "It was a scary-looking figure, and then there are tentacles, he stabbed brother Yuheiyo, and now he is dying, please help him!"

His team members were watching with bated breath as their youngest continues to speak with the Human Code Subject.

They were still apprehensive about any further actions. This person has already received a kick that was not fitting for a normal and weak human like him.

Just one more.

Who knows how long this guy will be able to live.

"Let me take a look." 18041216 (Four) decided.

Deserell's eyes lit up as he wiped away his tears with his hand.

"Yes!"
