20. The supermarket (2): Lightning

They were all shocked and they all began to reload their weapons. Dexter moved backwards as his spear appeared in his hand, making him nod in satisfaction.

'So all Heavenly totems can be stored inside one's spirit. It's quite convinient.' He thought as he wanted to get some space.

He looked left to see Beatrice pull out two identical pistols from her waist and readied them while waiting patiently.

'Glock 47s!' He was shocked to see one of his favorite guns in her hands.

"Alright they're coming!" Laurence pulled out another desert eagle before reloading the first one expertly and making multiple shots at the giant bugs, hitting them without missing.

Beatrice raised her hand and pointed a gun at the bees, they were less that 100 metres away from them now.

She fired a single shot and a wind tornado surrounded it horizontally, spinning rapidly as it approached the bees at a great speed.

'How...? Oh. I guess my vision is faster.' Dexter thought.

He wondered how he was seeing how the bullet spinned in the air when it was as fast as the speed of sound.

Dexter furrowed his brows as the bullet suddenly reached the bees. The wind around the bullet began to slice the bees to pieces, making blood and creatures body parts fall from the sky, and Dexter had to clean his eyes.

He wasn't the only one that noticed this too. The bees were already close to them and upon sensing the danger, they scattered and began to fly around the roof of the building in circles.

Loud, chaotic buzzing sounds resounded as the bees flew around them.

"Quick. Those using guns move to the middle, those using melee weapons surround and protect them." Laurence immediately commanded and the rest moved.

Seeing the ones hiding guns stand in the middle, Dexter ran behind Laurence and stood with his spear ready to defend him.

They didn't get any breathing space as the bees dived into the circle to capture one of the humans on the rooftop.

Beatrice was extremely impressive, her shooting skills were as beautiful as her. She shot in a single direction and killed five zombies in one shot due to her ability of wind. And she did this so many times.

A bees suddenly dived towards Dexter and he immediately moved forward to not hurt Laurence with his spear.

Remembering the spearmanship he learnt from Heaven's tower he suddenly jumped up high with a spin.

He brandished the spear, slicing the bee in mid-air and killing it.

[You have slayed level 6 mutated bee. You have gained 40 spirit points and 20 Heaven's tower points.]

"It's been a few days since I killed anything. I need Heaven's tower points." He said as he walked back, but before he could reach Laurence's rear, a bee flew past and grabbed Laurence by the shirt and lifted him up into the air.

"AH, AH, ARGHHHHH!!!" Laurence shouted at the top of his lungs but before Dexter could leap into action, someone passed him quite quickly.

It was Beatrice!

The beauty lept with a rope in her hand and she reached the bee before it could go too high and stabbed a dagger into its body.

*Shriek!*

The bee shrieked loudly and let go of Laurence and Beatrice caught him and fell down with the rope still in her hand.

'The rope!' Dexter ran to grab the hook as he saw it laying on the floor, not hooked to the parapet of the building.

He grabbed it and he stopped, supporting the individuals climbing back up.

*ZZZZZ...!!!*

A bee buzzed loudly as it headed towards Dexter who was all alone holding a rope by the edge of the building.

He grabbed his spear, ready to stab it with his single hand when a hole suddenly bursted open in its head and he looked sideways to see the black skinned dude pointing a gun at the bee.

The guy nodded at him and Dexter nodded back.

Beatrice and Laurence reached the ceiling quickly and they continued to shoot down the bees, reducing their number rapidly.

Dexter couldn't reach them with his spear and he needed those sweet, sweet Heaven's tower points.

He began to feel the energy within him, feeling his spirit.

He stretched his hand towards a bee and lightning shot out of it before splitting into branches.

*GRRR...!*

A loud sound of thunder resounded as more than eight bees exploded and gell from the sky.

"Haha." Dexter laughed as he targeted multiple bees and began to shoot lightning in all directions. It wasn't all of the time that he shoots lightning that would split and kill multiple bees and it seemed like there was a probability for that to happen.

Zain, Leo and Rina were all shocked at Dexter's ability now. The weak boy that they found patrolling the zombie infested wastelands was no more. Now they saw a vibrant young man that loves to kill monsters.

Rina immediately looked forward and waved her rapiers, causing two pink arcs of light to fly towards a zombie and slice its body into pieces before dispersing.

Zain was smiling. He waved his giant axe, cutting one of the giant bees down with a powerful swing. Any bee that nears the three military guys in their middle will be sliced down immediately.

Leo didn't see to much bees attacking him on his side. His hand was now impersonating a gun as he pointed up and shot out blue light from his fingertips.

The blue light collided with a bee and immediately, it froze and crashed on the floor, breaking into pieces. Even the internal organs of the bee was frozen as well.

...

"Ha!" Zain cut down a bee that was heading towards him and the ground beneath the axe cracked with a bang.

"Phew. That's all of them." Zain said as all of them gathered around.

Laurence smiled as he put his guns back in his pockets before saying, "Great. The evolved bees were the ones killing everything in the area and now this place is basically their territory. Now that they're dead, we can enter the untouched supermarket and take the goods back home."

"Whoo! Let's go!"

"Don't shout like that, Cole. What if you missed one of the bees?" Chap.an scolded.

"Buddy relax. This is one of our best missions yet. And now that nothing is in the area we can be free about our movements." Chapman strapped himself and began to head down with the rope and so did the others.

Dexter walked to the other side of the building and climbed on the parapet before looking down. It was as if the wind was going to push him off of the parapet but he smiled before taking a step forward and he fell down from a 15 storey building.
