My Werewolf System

Chapter 1159  The Attack (Part 2)

The three of them could see the roof of the shopping mall up ahead. The distance from the rooftop to the shopping mall was a bit too far for them to jump this one. So they had to descend down, carefully, and cross the street without being seen by others.

There weren’t many out at this time of day, and certainly not near the shopping mall where everything was closed. The shopping mall, as well as the botanical garden, was seen more as a tourist attraction and was built in the business district of Ruin City.

So as soon as their day was over and these places were closed, they were practically a ghost town, which was perfect for them.

Scaling the side of the shopping mall, they climbed until they had reached a midpoint, an outside walkway that was to be used as an emergency fire exit. Walking around it, there was a door.

With a quick push with Roman’s strength, the lock broke with ease, and the rest had entered inside.

With the masks, they were able to see despite it being incredibly dark inside, so they could navigate their way in the shopping mall.

“Right now, we’re on the 3rd floor. We are to meet the team on the second floor, in front of the Make Your Own Bear shop,” Roman whispered.

“I thought we were meant to meet on the roof and head to the garden together with the other squads?” Blake asked.

“Change of plan. When scouting the area, we realized that there’s an underpass that connects the shopping mall to the Botanical Garden. It’s used for staff and not the general public.”

“We imagine either the Lupus Gang use the area for themselves, or they’re in for a big surprise.”

Walking past all of the shops while the shopping mall was completely empty. It was like a kid’s dream come true for Innu. He had seen this type of stuff in TV shows and videos online.

Wondering how he would fend for himself if an apocalypse started and he only had the shopping mall as his safe haven.

‘Come to think of it, that situation might be the case in the gardens,’ Innu thought, nervous he wanted to grab the weapons from his back.

Just up ahead as they walked across the floor, they could see the sign for the Build-A-Bear shop. They moved in closer but noticed something.

“Wait,” Roman said as he tapped his mask. It enhanced and zoomed into the view of the shop, like that on a digital phone. On the ground, he was able to see shards of glass. The whole shop front store had been broken.

“Where are the other squads?” Innu asked. “Are we the first ones here?”

“Can’t you tell, something’s up,” Blake said as he pulled both of his swords right by his side and crouched.

The three of them started slowly to move toward the scene, and when they were close enough, they could see traces of blood on the ground. They led into the shop which was a complete mess.

Cotton and wool, parts of bear eyes were torn all over the place, and on top of that, the shelves and further destruction had been made on the inside of the shop.

Blood was splattered across the walls and more.

“Is this blood from the other squads?” Innu asked.

“Sherlock… anyone could have figured that out,” Blake answered. “The real question is, where are their bodies, and where are the ones that did this?”

“From behind!” Roman shouted.

As the two turned around, they could see a large black-furred creature leaping towards them with its glowing blue eyes. Roman, with his spear, spun it forward, hitting the creature right in its center stomach and piercing it.

The beast, with its arms out, was trying to still claw at Roman, but quickly, seeing this, Blake had jumped from his position and stabbed both of his swords right into the Werewolf’s neck, blood splattering on his face.

He quickly pulled it out, and the trident Roman was using spun the body off and onto the ground.

Blake, looking at the creature that had just been killed by the two of them. It was as clear as day, it was a Werewolf. They had been fighting them for a while now, many of them of various strengths.

‘It came at us, just like that… it was almost like a suicidal attack. It couldn’t have expected it to end well.’

Although it appeared easy, part of that was Roman’s added strength and special spear’s effects. The end could spin and rip through almost anything. A Werewolf’s hide was usually extremely tough, and if Roman hadn’t been able to stick it like he had done, then Blake wouldn’t have easily been able to attack it either.

“Hey guys, can you see what I’m seeing?” Innu asked, gulping.

On the mask, heat signatures were appearing from nearly every location. They were coming out from the other shops. They were crawling from above the other floors, and even from the floors below, they were staring at them.

They hung from the walls like spiders, with their teeth bared, their eyes glowing, and drool coming off from their razor-sharp teeth.

“Damn… damn, I didn’t think that my apocalyptic scenario would come true, and with Werewolves of all things!” Innu shouted. “This is ten times scarier than zombies, bring me the zombies any day.”

“There’s so many of them,” Roman said. “We have to presume that the other squads are dead. It looks like it’s just us three!”

“Us three against so many, there has to be at least fifty of them!” Innu shouted.

“Head up to the sixth floor, we have to get there… there’s something that we might be able to use!” Roman shouted.

“To the sixth floor… will we even make it,” Blake said.
