Trash in the Apocalypse

It was about eight in the evening when an armed group of civilians, armed with sharpened poles, approached the mall.

Their advance was stopped by Jorge who was on guard duty. Emma, who sat beside him, called on the radio but no one replied. She then switched channel and Tatang Robin answered.

Tatang Robin reported the situation to everyone, resulting in the current parade of people heading out.

Just as they stepped out of the building, a gunfire echoed in the area. They all turned their heads towards where the sound came from and saw Jorge falling from the bus. Emma raised her hands as if she was being held on gunpoint. A few seconds later, a loud gunshot roared and she fell backwards, falling next to Jorge's body.

"What's happening?", someone shouted.

"We're being attacked!" Jun shouted. "Everyone go inside, those who have guns stay here and don't let anyone come closer. Find some cover and provide cover fire. Edward, follow me. Adrian, flank them."

Jun readied his shield and equipped a revolver from his dimensional storage. Using the aluminum baseball bat in this situation seemed foolish.

Before he could took a step forward, a hand pulled him back on his shoulder.

Old John stared at him fiercely.

"Kill them. Kill them all. Please."

Jun watched as tears slid down the old man's face. Having the hope of people you knew and love, then in a brief moment losing that hope, the old man seemed to aged a bit, looking pitiful.

Jun nodded. He didn't say any comforting words because he knew himself from experience that no words could help him right now.

Jun's emotion became unstable. He smirked then stashed his revolver.

A new weapon appeared on his hand, a half-meter club that radiated red aura. That aura spread around Jun's body, outlining him, making him look domineering.

Jun turned away, then said:

"I'll make them suffer."

***

Jun and Edward ran on the parking lot, weaving between stalls, evading the eyes of numerous people. Adrian was sneakily walking along the walls on the eastern part of the entrance.

The plan they set up before moving out was quite simple.

Since they have no information about the enemy, the have to fight them conservatively. The first part of the plan was to gain knowledge of how many enemies they were facing, what weapons they have and how many people were armed with guns.

Jun and Edward would act as decoys to attract the gunman's attention while Adrian identifies them.

At the same time that Jun and Edward reached the last stall near the toll booth, a man appeared on the roof of the bus and quickly fired at them.

The two took cover behind the stall and waited for the man to stop firing. From the sound of fire and the gap between the shots, Jun deduced that the shooter was using a handgun.

Jun looked towards the east, and saw Adrian kneeling on a landscape of shrubs. Their eyes met and he signaled for Adrian to wait for a bit more.

The firing stopped after eight rounds.

Jun took a deep breath then shouted. "Hey fvcker! How's your day?!"

No reply came from the other side.

Jun furrowed his brows. He peeked on the corner and saw people advancing forward, holding sharpened poles.

"Are you sure that you can do this?" Jun asked Edward who was intensely breathing by his side.

Edward turned his head in confusion.

"You might have to kill someone with how things are going. Are you ready for it?"

Jun noticed the fear and reluctance on Edward's eyes right after he finished his question. He knew that he wasn't like them who grew knowing the dark side of life. He didn't force him, but left him a question to think about.

"This is a new world. It's you're choice whether to kill or not to kill."

Jun stood up and ran towards the enemies. There's one thing that he didn't tell Edward, that is, he chose to kill because he want to protect something.

Five pole-arm wielders appeared in front of him. They stood side-by-side pointing the sharpened poles forward.

Jun charged at the group to avoid being shot at by the gunman. He was immediately surrounded and attacked from every direction. Edward ran after him and shielded his back. After exchanging a few blows with the group, he noticed something strange. Every time he was hit, it would always be in a safe spot with little to no damage, not leaving him in any danger.

After a few more stabs, Jun felt shocked when he finally realized the reason! These group of people were amateurs! They don't know where to hit someone or how to hit someone to give pain.

Thanks to his leather jacket and improved body endurance, all the stabs felt like he was just being poked. He still felt the stabs but on a manageable level.

The red club on his hand glowed redder the more he got hit. His consciousness started fading away, but his body moved on its own. Like a crazed dog, he started mauling anyone in front of him.

The armed civilians finally showed gaps in their encirclement after receiving a few powerful hits.

Edward noticed Jun's eyes that glowed crimson and hurriedly distanced himself. He knew that something already happened to Jun and he could only stand on the side and protect him.

When every civilian was down on the ground, Jun raised his club to finish them off. A shrill sound came with white sparks as an energy barrier blocked his attack. As if taunted, Jun turned his head to Edward.

Edward backed off. "I know you decided to kill them, but atleast do it when you're aware of it!"

Jun dashed towards him with crazed eyes and laborious breathing. Edward dodged a few easy ones while he blocked most of the attacks. They arrived at the middle of the parking lot with someone doing his best to not get hit while someone continuously swung madly.

Evo thew a ball of yarn to stop Jun's rampage.
