This Place is A Bust Too...

Since the hotel staff didn't believe me, I had to stand in front of the building and try to warn other residents. However, I was quickly thrown out by the guard and was given a warning.

"Come on, there's an apocalypse coming in a few hours, and you're not trusting someone trying to save you?!"

I cursed, kicking a random pebble in the parking lot as I walked toward my bike. It was my beloved Handa Waterblade, a bike I've treasured for five years already, ever since I turned 18. After putting on my helmet and placing my phone right on its holder while still displaying the stream's chat, I brought the engine to life with a single press of the starter.

"Cool! Let me ride on it too, bro!"

"That's a pretty old model, but it looks to be in mint condition. :thumbs up:"

Such comments were popping up, but I ignored them for now. After I backed up, turning to face the ramp to exit the parking lot, I let the engine roar. The low hum of its 189-hp engine was soothing to my ears, and the familiar vibration made me feel relaxed.

*VRRRRRR!*

As soon as I left the parking lot, I went straight to the connecting road before leaving the hotel's premises. Now that I'm on the highway, I let the bike roar as much as it wants.

The scenery was slipping past in a blur, but it was alright. After all, nobody is roaming around the roads right now. "As you all said, there's not a single vehicle in sight. Are they all crammed near the exits?"

From the chat, I was told that everyone was trying to move out of the city. Thus, the roads should be free, while the exits are currently crowded with angry motorists trying to escape.

"They should know that there's no escaping the apocalypse since it happens for the entire world..."

I heaved a sigh before turning at an intersection and entering the underground parking lot of the Pine Mall. Technically, this mall is the largest establishment in the entire Bivear City.

As I drove down the ramp, heading to the lowest floor of the parking lot, I went past several empty floors. I guess literally everyone was running for their lives, seeing that there was not a single car present there. Not even those illegally using this place as their garage.

The signal became poorer the deeper I went, but the only problem was the video quality becoming lower. The chat was still working fine, flooding with random rabble as I drove onward.

Soon enough, I reached the end of the ramp. The last, bottom-most floor of the mall is the 10th basement parking floor. I'm not really sure what the owners of the mall were thinking about creating such a vast underground space just for parking cars. Well, they have never run out of parking space since their establishment, so I guess their effort did bear fruit.

"Alright, now that I'm here, I'll be staying on the lowest floor until the apocalypse!"

This plan was supposed to be done with the help of the people from the hotel, but since I didn't manage to get even a single hand on board, I ended up having to do everything by myself.

First, I sealed off the human-sized exits. After that, I began to think of a way to seal the driveway leading up, but no matter what I or the viewers suggested, we just lacked materials and manpower.

"Hmmm? You're coming to where I am?" At that moment, a weird chat crossed my phone's screen.

The three who were always the first to view my stream—Heartu66, KillMeBibi, and Garuda—all said they'd be coming. "Then, don't forget to bring food and drinks. Kek!" I said as a jab before continuing my sealing-off work.

As expected of this gigantic mall, however, even after a full hour of trying to seal off the exits, I wasn't even half done. I wiped the sweat off my forehead while using my shirt as a fan, trying to cool off. After all, this place was poorly ventilated. It's f*cking hot in here!

*THUD!*

"...!"

A loud sound echoed from behind me, causing me to jump in surprise. I turned around, raising my fist, ready to square up, with my heart beating wildly, as if about to jump out of my chest.

"Yo, Hvir, bro!"

Before me stood a blonde young man about 2 meters tall. He's taller than I am, who is 1.8 meters, and more muscular. If he told me he's doing wrestling, then I would believe him immediately.

"Are you... KillMeBibi?" I was practically guessing, but I'm confident about my educated guess. After all, he looked like he could kill me with a single iron claw, so...

"Hahaha! No, bro. I'm Heartu66. Isn't it obvious from the way I spoke?"

"..."

Who would've guessed that someone with a big body like yours would use a username as cute as that... "W-Well, I was just guessing."

I glanced at the chat, and they were flooding it with requests to show who came. I, of course, did as told and picked up my helmet, turning it around to face the newcomer. "Everyone, say hi to Heartu66. He's come from far to help me in my experiment!"

"D*mn! A giant!"

"Goliath to the rescue!"

"Are you sure that's Heartu66? He fits the name KillMeBibi more! :lmao:"

Their reactions were all within my predictions, and some even matched my opinion, saying he was more deserving to be KillMeBibi than Heartu66. But thinking about the skills... I guess Butcher does fit him well. It's random, but still a well-matched one.

"Wait, what did you bring with you?" Although late, I finally noticed the sack that he was carrying with him.

This was probably the source of the loud thud sound that surprised me.

"This? You asked for food, so I brought some." He muttered as he opened the sack, revealing its contents. "See? Freshly steamed potatoes."

He took my joke seriously...?

Well, I guess if we do survive past midnight, then we'd need food and drinks... though I highly doubt that.

*VRRRROOOOO!* *SKRRRRRRT!*

Without warning, the two of us suddenly began hearing the sound of a car's engine, followed by the skidding of wheels. What now? Who is it this time?
