Dangerous friendship

I was walking out of the Korean community. The world was bonded, but, although the continents had changed greatly, it was still separated by customs, lineages, and ideals. We lived in colonies and inside these, there were elites, rich, middle, and poor, the old world still passed us by. The coin was one in the whole world, pitas were the name, it started in coins of up to ten thousand. They were made of Iridium with platinum, both metals were used in ancient Gaia. But the difference is that these were extracted from Mars and not from our planet. So yes, we are already emptying Mars, we get there to the red planet, and we build places to later take the new generations there.

Until we manage to find a way to go further, to a less inhospitable planet. Unfortunately, though, there are drawbacks to the red paradise for our species. Our bodies can't fully support living there for years, or at least not all of us can. So, you see, we have a slight problem. Of course, we had to leave Earth at any time because, although we managed to survive, our planet wants revenge. How? By creating living beings superior to our species, not in terms of intelligence, but terms of murderous qualities. Something like the old Earth movies about vampires and werewolves, the supernatural's capable of hunting humans with ease.

We were safe to live with animals that looked almost the same as those of old earth, a little more evolved and bred in our reserves. Perhaps because they did not undergo such strong changes when they were tamed by humans, since they were born from generations raised in zoos and aquariums. They did not have the characteristics of those outsides. I explained all this to get to the point that the forests were not safe, so tunnels and subways had to be created to pass between colonies. In addition, the fields had to be protected by producing spheres capable of absorbing the sun's rays and collecting rain, even filtering the wind to obtain food. The same sphere, which we call a dome, but with different modifications, was used around the colonies. Unfortunately, the tunnels or passages where the control points were located did not fit into this protection.

I didn't mention this before, but to get to the center of the colony you had to take the eco way or public transportation. Even so, around the checkpoints, to facilitate the life of the soldiers guarding the control points or borders, their families had their homes. At a suitable distance to enter under the protection of the dome. Not being in this way, as I said, a few meters in advance, where the only thing that kept us safe were wires with currents and other measures of the ancient world.

We flourished technologically, yes, but unfortunately, we were not free from erratic and evil thoughts. There were groups of humans who believed in the crazy theory about the survival of a superior race, ideas taken from the history of our ancestors. A dangerous idea that had cost millions of lives in the past and was now going the same way. Something so illogical, the stupidity of a stronger lineage capable of surpassing any human, only if scientists managed to improve our bodies to an unimaginable level.

I'm not very knowledgeable about biology, but I have always thought that the more the human being is bound the better he will be, at least his genes will be superior. Perhaps I am not the only one who thinks this way, I suppose it must be the same for the mixed or Mestizo Colony, the name says it all. In it, it doesn't matter of lineage or phenotype or anything like that. Many have dreams of reaching this colony, myself included.

This colony is farthest of all, in terms of distance between the colonies. With superior technology and way of life. Strongly protected against fanatics and greedy people who seek its downfall. Despite all that, it provides help to the colonies that need it through trade and other ways. Their lifestyle is to protect all their people, no one lives in extreme poverty, all work for their land and take care not to fall into the errors of former times. His way of leading, supported by the link between both ages and genders, gives a greater range of overcoming and fewer mistakes. Their objectives, are to adapt to the changes of nature and to promote the new search for places in the galaxy, to find it, to protect it with everything. I dreamed of reaching this place, living there with my father, and ending the poverty in which we lived.

I was thinking about that while I was going through the tunnel on my way home. Suddenly, there was a shout and people started to run. The radicals had turned off the security and sealed off the Asian side, allowing the wolves to make their way into the tunnel to get through the checkpoints and destroy the Latin colony.

These wolves are not like the traditional 60 to 90 cm with a weight of 60 kilograms or a little more, these are twice the size surpassing a person and weighing 120 kg and up, they are modified and terrifying beasts. They are killing machines, and predators, with humans as their favorite dish on the menu.

So, when I came face to face with one, I froze, it was the death of me. I closed my eyes and could sense his breath on my neck, how his cold and wet nose smelled me. I breathed slowly, getting ready to die, but time passed, and I never felt his fangs. So, at last, I opened my eyes and met ones full of life and curiosity.

His tongue reached out and licked me like a puppy, I was so scared I didn't even react. He touched me with his head bent down as if begging me to pet him. My hand trembled and bewildered, I stroked him on the ears, he made a sound of enjoying it and I couldn't help but smile at that.

His fur was incredibly soft and such a beautiful color, mostly black and white splashed in between the dark fur. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out and the whine of a wolf made me bristle, the one in front of me turned his attention to the sound for a few seconds and came back to look at me.

— Leave.

I said it in a whisper, and somehow, he understood me, after caressing me with his muzzle again he ran away from the place. Just at that moment, the light of a moteco illuminated me and I covered my eyes until I heard a voice.

— Get on!

It was the Korean guy, he was offering me a helmet, I didn't think much and accepted. I accelerated and at that the security groups started to arrive, and I heard a wolf howl. The humans were going to hunt, we did not have many possibilities, but we had weapons to defend ourselves against small groups. On the road there were bodies on both sides, shattered, it was horrible. I squeezed the body in front of me, I felt sick with the images.
