The factory workers, in a sense, had a better view. From their rooms they were a floor higher but through the windows, they were able to have a look at the factory ground floor and see everything that was going on.
A lot of them, although they felt a strong sense when they heard Gary’s words, it was hard for them to believe a stranger could do such a thing. What did one even mean when they said that they would get them out of this place safely and create a new life for them all.
Even if there was a person that could do all of that, why would they do that for them? All their lives they had been less fortunate, just for having been born in a city like this. They had long accepted their fate, yet now for some reason they were looking at someone who was fighting for them.
Yet they still couldn't believe it. Gary had moved, jumping from his position, it was so quick and by the time he had landed or they had registered in their heads that he had moved, he had already knocked the squad leader onto the ground, who was now lying on the floor.
In the room itself, Earny was finally opening up his eyes. He was feeling better but his body was still in a lot of pain, especially the wounds that had been made on his back.
“Hey, the old man is waking up!” One of the workers said.
“Earny!” An old friend ran by his side. He had started working at the factory around the same time as Earny.
“Barret, what's happening, why am I back in here?” Earny asked, and could see all the other workers were pressed up against the window. Curious about what they were looking up he tried to get up, but the pain from his wounds were a little too much.
“Stop, you're an old man now, we don’t heal as quickly as we used to, if you move, there is a good chance that you could die.” Barret replied.
“What’s going on though, didn’t the factory owners come in… and, why is everyone staring out the window?” he asked.
“Well, you know that kid, the green haired one, Gary, he’s fighting them… right now.”
Earny’s eyes widened, he had stepped up due to the stolen crystal with the thought that no one else would get punished, if he was fighting them, then now a kid that was less than half his age was getting punished for this. Forcing himself through the pain, Earny attempted to stand up once again.
Knowing how his friend would be, Barret decided to give him his shoulder and help him up, taking him to the window.
“You stubborn old man, anyway, I’m telling you now, you're going to be surprised by what you're about to see. None of us can believe our own eyes.” Barret said, and he was right.
Earny could see several men, all standing there, yet for some reason they were doing nothing, none of them were going after Gary, at least not yet. They too were in too much of a shock, the situation was unprecedented.
“He’s fighting against them?” Earny said, his mouth staying wide open.
“Yeah, and he already beat up those other guys that hit you from before. Honestly, this kid, I think he might be able to do something.”
Now that the others had heard Barret out loud, they realised this was the thought they all had, at least they were hoping that maybe he could do something.
“F*ck!” One of the Scavengers members shouted. “This kid, he's taking the p*ss, out of all of us. How dare he land a cheap shot on Rex!”
To many, it certainly seemed that way, since none of them had seen the attack, and the shout had snapped them into action. The men closest charged in with their bats, one of them swinging it wide.
Gary quikly ducked under the bat swing, and went in close hitting the man in the chin and lifting him in the air. As another came close, Gary stretched out his leg and kicked the other in the stomach sending him in the air skidding across the ground.
One had managed to throw a long metal chain that had hit Gary in the back. When it did though, Gary didn’t flinch or move. Instead he turned around, picking up the chain and pulling it, yanking it out of the man’s hands and causing him to fall over.
“He’s doing it!” Barret said. “He’s taking all of them out.”
Running from behind, several men with knives started to run up. Swinging his fist around, Gary hit one man right in the face, breaking his jaw as he was knocked out and sent to the floor.
“I thought I could hear the footsteps of more of them?” Gary thought.
When looking up, he noticed that the other two men with knives had been beaten as well, and the one standing next to them was Elijah.
“You think I was just going to stand there and watch you fight on your own against 30 or something guys?” Elijah said. “I’ve decided with the two of us we can take on this trash.”
After finishing his sentence, at the same time, the two of them turned to their right, they avoided a hit from their attackers and threw out a fist knocking out the enemy straight away.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm The two of them were going through each of the gang members, one by one, and at a fast pace. If they got hit it was light work, especially for Gary who seemed to not feel a thing as bats would bash against his forearm and break.
It didn’t take long until eventually the two of them had run out of things to hit. Everyone was on the floor, while Gary and Elijah were the only two left standing in the factory.
“Those guys, they did it, they really did it, just the two of them, knocked out nearly thirty guys with weapons from the Scavengers gang! Who the heck are they!” The workers shouted.,
They were cheering in their rooms as they saw this, but the cheers started to die down.
“This still doesn’t change anything.” One of the women in the room said. “Now that they have hurt more of the Scavengers, they will just send more people, and even if they take care of them, what about us, our jobs, the factory? All of this is just a dream!” she shouted, causing the room to go silent, as they still were hit with the reality.
As Gary was heading over to Elijah, he noticed something.
“Hey!” Elijah said, as he put his hand on Gary’s shoulder and pointed at one of the men on the floor, it was none other than Rex that he knocked out.
“That hurt you b*stard!” Rex said, getting up off the floor, and using his hand to fix his jaw that had been dislocated, a loud click was heard, and strangely there was strange swirling black smoke that seemed to be emitting from his body a little.
When he lifted up his face, one of his eyes, the white had turned purple.
“That’s… that’s what I’ve been looking for.” Elijah said. “He’s an infected Altered.”
