Chapter 134 - 134: Protecting The Rats


Caen continued traversing inside the underground tunnel, following Henrik who was walking ahead of them. The two ladies who were part of their team walked behind them, keeping their mouths shut.


Throughout the journey, only Lucifer and Caen had talked. The other three remained entirely silent. And even Lucifer only talked barely.


Henrik kept his hand raised to the front, touching the ground which was making the tunnel bigger and advancing it further. As for the soil, it was a mystery and the biggest puzzle for Lucifer.


Lucifer was curious about the soil. As the tunnel became longer, what happened to the soil that was being removed? It was as if it just kept disappearing.


He wondered if the ability of Henrik was something similar to his power of decay. Did Henrik"s ability destroy the soil into nothingness to make a tunnel? Lucifer marveled at that thought as they continued walking.


...


On the other side, the entire facility was closed by Ayn inside the Ice Tomb, blocking it from the view of the enemy. She did that to protect the ordinary humans, especially the scientists who were inside the facility.


However, little did she know, the enemies had already crossed the protection she had cast. She was clueless and unaware about it.


In fact, by making the Ice Tomb, she had made that place even more defenseless and vulnerable against the enemies.


This happened because she didn"t antic.i.p.ate that their enemies made an alternative route, digging a tunnel underground to enter the facility, unnoticed.


Inside the Ice Tomb, only one Variant of APF existed, who was Yale.


Even though Yale was only a single Variant here, he was still confident in his strength since he was the Vice-Captain of the Beta Squad.


He was no longer outside the facility as he was now pa.s.sing through the corridors, trying to get to Doctor Rao and Doctor Layman as per the orders of Ayn.


Even though he was following his captain"s commands, he hated it.


"I had been unlucky enough to be stuck with guard duty. How annoying! Our greatest enemy is on the other side of the Ice Wall and I"ll be sitting inside this safe facility, watching a bunch of humans!"


His fist was clenched hard as he hit the wall on his side. He couldn"t hide the frustration he was feeling right now.


"It is so annoying! I hate it! I hate it so much!"


He kept walking in long strides as he tried to control his frustration but the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became.


"This facility is also jammed! No communication from inside goes out and no communication from outside gets in! I can"t even get updates about what"s happening in the battle!" Yale continued his grumbling.


As he was walking through the corridor, he saw a human guard.


"You! Stop!" Reaching out his palm, he gestured for the man to stop.


The guards were all informed that the APF was here and taking command for the moment so the guard didn"t find it strange that he was seeing one of them here.


There was a badge on the chest of Yale which further proved his affiliations to the APF.


"Yes?" the guard asked.


"Take me to your Doctor Rao"s office right now," he demanded. There was a hint of irritation in his voice.


The guard didn"t ask much and agreed to the demand. He escorted Yale to the office of Doctor Rao.


Yale was also like Xander and Ayn. He didn"t bother knocking either as he stepped inside the office.


"Sigh, two left and the third one came," Doctor Rao said as he sighed at the arrival of Yale.


This was his first time seeing Yale but it wasn"t hard to guess who he was.


Yale stepped forward and sat on the chair that was empty as he sarcastically replied, "I have no interest in being here and protecting a few rats either."


"In any case, my mood is already bad because I can"t be in the battle outside. Don"t upset me anymore. I don"t want to have to explain to others why your sixty-four teeth are missing," he further added, threatening the doctors.


"Sixty-four? He only has thirty-two teeth," Doctor Layman chimed in, confused. Was this guy so bad at maths and science? He didn"t even know how many teeth a human had?


"Don"t worry about my maths. I counted your thirty-two as well. I can"t be partial when breaking the two of you if you don"t shut your mouth," Yale answered as he glared at Doctor Layman. "So be a good boy and don"t annoy me anymore."


Hearing the subtle threat, Doctor Layman closed his mouth abruptly and stopped talking.


"You mentioned a fight outside. All communication here is jammed. And we aren"t allowed to leave either. What"s happening outside? Is someone attacking us?" Doctor Rao asked, not worrying about the threat.


"Someone? The entire Variant Uprising army is here to flatten this facility and kill you. You really p.i.s.sed them off," Yale answered lazily.


"Is Lucifer here as well?" Doctor Rao asked, excited.


"Are you a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t? I"m talking about enemies being here to kill you and you"re getting excited?" Yale asked with a disgusted look on his face.


" You didn"t answer! Is Lucifer here with them as well?" Doctor Rao asked again, ignoring the taunt of Yale.


"Sigh, I guess I am right about you. You truly are sick," Yale said as he sighed.


He placed one of his legs on top of the other as he sat more calmly before he continued, "Anyway, I don"t know if Lucifer is here or not. I was told to come here and guard you before I could even see properly. Now enough talking. Shut your mouth and don"t disturb me anymore."


He didn"t want to talk since the more he talked about it, the more he realized that he wasn"t outside the facility, fighting the enemies which frustrated him even more.
