Ito Ai: A New Dawn - Chapter 51
“My good sirs, do you have any food? ” Ai stood up empty handed and asked, her eyes glowing with anticipation. The man in front smiled brightly as she said: “Of course we do! Why don’t you come with us and we will take you back to where you can find all the food you want.”
“Really? Okay!” Ai’s answer caused the men to all smile and let out a laugh but what they did not expect was the girl dropped to the ground and disappeared behind a bunch of rubble.
“Hey, where did she go!?” The man in front asked as he looked around. For some reason, he felt something was off. He turned to the man at his side in a blue shirt and ordered. “You, go and check on her.”
The man in blue nodded his head and ran over to where Ai was last seen. But when he got to the other side of the rubble, before he could say a word, he felt a sharp prick in his leg, making him kneel, and his whole world suddenly went dark. This caused the man in front to become scared so he quickly sent out two more of his men. These two men did not dare run up on the rubble. They slowly went around at a wide angle on both sides but all they saw was their fallen comrade lying on the ground on the slope of the rubble.
“Brother?” One of the men called out while slowly approaching his comrade’s body on the ground. But just as he reached over to shake the man in a blue shirt’s body he felt a prick in his hand and just like the man in a blue shirt he felt weak in the knees and quickly blacked out.
The other man witnessed the second of his comrades fall down and quickly rushed over to investigate but just as he was about to approach he saw a small finger roll over to him and before he could even react he felt something prick his leg. This man suffered the same fate as the other two.
Ai who was now standing up again smiled as she looked at the three men on the ground before kicking the body of the man nearest to her. “This is the apocalypse, one should be wary of even a little girl like me.” Ai said as she threw down three syringes. She dusted her hand and picked up her Howa off the ground and turned her attention back to the two men who were staring at her in shock.
The man in front felt a shiver down his spine when he saw the young girl smile at him. His first instinct was that she was some kind of devil or maybe a new kind of robot in human skin. “You! What are you!?”
“Me? Just your normal middle schooler. Now… Let’s have a little chat, shall we? If you release the two girls behind you I won’t kill you. But… If you release them and kill them after releasing them, I will still kill you. You say anything that pisses me off, I will still kill you. If you look at me in the wrong way and I will still kill you. And let me make this perfectly clear. That there is no way in hell either of you can pull the trigger on me before I put a bullet in your heads. I can see the muscles in your arms twitching meaning your fingers are already slowly pressing the trigger on your guns. So you better behave or you will not live to see the sun go down today. ” The look of a helpless young girl that Ai had before when looking at the men quickly turned cold and filled with killing intent.
The two men that were left felt their spines run cold. The man who was holding a rifle dropped his gun to the ground not daring to give the girl in front of him an excuse to shoot him. The man in front wanted to curse but did the same. He then nodded to the man guarding the girls and said: “Release them.”
The man nodded and said: “You two go over to where the other girl is and quickly.” The two girls slowly looked up to see a young girl holding a gun in her hands pointing it at the men and felt tears welling up in their eyes. They did not hesitate to run over to her. Ai’s appearance to them was as if an angel had fallen from the sky.
“Okay, we released them, we will be leaving then.” The man in front said. He did not even dare to pick up his weapon. He figured a loss in product and a few weapons were not something to fuss over when his life is at stake.
But unfortunately for him, Ai had no intentions of letting them leave. “Now, who said you can leave? You see my friend is looking for some medical test subjects and you so kindly brought so many subjects for her and you see, dead or alive it doesn’t matter at the early stage of development. So let’s have you give to humankind and become the first to undertake some experimentation, okay?”
“You!” The man in front wanted to reach down for his gun but as soon as his muscles twitched a loud bang was the last thing he ever heard again. The other man who was the only one left watched as his leader fell to the ground and almost collapsed to the ground in fear.
“Please don’t kill me! I will do anything you ask!”
