Chapter 31: Lou and Kim’s journey

<Lou and Kim POV just after separating from Reia>

"Dammit we have to go back Lou, we can\'t just leave Reia." Kim, who is in Lou\'s arms, wanted to go back and help fight the giant.

"Sorry Kim, but it\'s one of those things where we have to run, plus Reia is perfectly capable, we just have to focus on surviving and getting to gate 2." Lou was sprinting as fast as she could believing that Reia will be okay.

\'Please be safe, Reia.\' Kim was unable to do anything and was stuck in Lou\'s arms and so all she could do was hope.

Running further down the street, Lou and Kim witnessed a lot of dead bodies crushed from all the rubble and decided to still hide in their apartments rather than run. Death was a common scene for the two, but Kim was still saddened by the sight, seeing innocents getting killed.

Lou on the other hand did not care and had no sympathy for anyone that would have died.

After a few more minutes the road to gate 2 was finally in sight, however, there was a group of mutants guarding the road.

Lou looked around to find a spot to put Kim down so she could deal with the mutants. Deciding that the roof was her best option, Lou turned off onto a road just before the mutants and tried to find a way on top of one of the apartments.

Screams and chaos echoed throughout the city making it rather easy to make noise without a mutant noticing them.

While running up the stairs in an apartment complex cries were coming from some of the rooms.

"Tch, if they don\'t shut up they are only just going to get themselves killed." Although Lou was right, for them to actually take action was beyond realistic.

"Lou, they are not as crazy as you are, cut them some slack." Kim wasn\'t surprised by the state of the people as not everyone is a trained psycho like Lou.

"Well, not my fault that they will get themselves killed."

*sigh* "Why do I even bother to reason?" Although Kim did agree with Lou, Kim had always tried to make Lou more considerate.

"If things continue like they are now, there will no longer be any rules and it\'s now the survival of the fittest, so if they are just going to mope in a corner then they won\'t survive." Lou swung around the wall up the last flight of stairs to the roof.

"Geh, why do you also have such sound reasons for your ruthlessness." Although Kim agreed and was not really arguing, it was still hard to find a way to oppose her.

"Fufu~ I always do and you love that~." Lou stopped behind an air vent and leaned Kim up against it.

"Y-you\'re not wrong." Kim couldn\'t deny that she was rather attracted to Lou\'s cold side.

"Anyway, I am going to go down and take out the mutants on the road, if anything happens scream out my name." Lou looked over the edge of the roof and saw the horde of at least 40 to 60 mutants that occupied the road.

"Alright be careful, I assume a lot of those mutants were people trying to get to the military base for salvation, but little did they know that it is also in chaos." Kim looked at the military base and could see all the gunfire shooting over the wall as soldiers desperately fought their way out.

"Well half the military is incompetent fools that think they have a chance, so it\'s no surprise that the military base will be destroyed especially when most special squads are out on missions this time of year." Lou expected that the military base would be devoid of life and the squads that had some worth would come back to a ruined city.

"Well our squad, 2, 5, 7, 9, 13, 15 and 20 should have been back at the base today, but that is only our sector of squads, no idea about the other ones." Kim recalled looking at the military board on her phone and saw which squads were returning or had returned.

"I don\'t see 13, 15 or 20 being alive since they are not the strongest squads unlike the first 10." Lou was half hoping that more squads would be back in the city as it would mean more opportunities for conflict.

"Who knows, but that isn\'t our problem. Now go have your fun, I can still use my beretta if I get attacked." Kim, although low on essence, was still able to use her beretta if she needed it.

"Looks like I will need to pull out my extra pistols." Lou quickly went back to Kim who was holding Lou\'s bag and opened it up.

"Wait, you\'re going to use that new style?" Kim saw Lou adjusting the small contraption on her shoes that allowed her to slot pistols on the back of the heel.

"Echo didn\'t design them to never be used." Lou lifted her heel and attached the pistols to the lock.

"Hope this will be a good test since you haven\'t had the chance to use it against real opponents." Kim had witnessed Lou practising a new kind of close combat fighting style with guns on her heels.

Lou kissed her beretta\'s before jumping into the horde and turned to Kim one last time.

"Watch me give these bastards the kiss of death." Lou then vaulted over the edge and began to climb down the side of the building.

Kim blushed slightly as despite being left alone she still felt reassured and that she will be safe no matter what.

Lou was fast approaching the massive horde and once she was low enough jumped off the wall.

Lou spun in the air while firing, setting ablaze a bunch of the mutants and killing a few off. landing on top of a rhino, Lou then shoved her heel into the head of the rhino while also firing the gun on her heel. Setting the rhino\'s insides on fire Lou jumped off the mutant\'s body.

Lou continued firing wherever trying to kill as many as she could. Lou then landed in an opening and a group of feline mutants took the opportunity to pounce on Lou.

Lou rushed forward at one of the large mutant cats and shot directly through its skull. A panther, however, went to bite into Lou\'s side, but she leant backwards into a handstand and as her feet went past the panther\'s head she fired.

Getting back on her feet to face the lion, she quickly pointed her beretta\'s behind her and shot a lizard that was about to sneak attack her.

The Lion growled and more mutants started to get closer making it harder to make a move.

"Tch." Lou had lost her momentum, making it harder to continue the flow of killing.

A few smaller mutants had circled Lou and went to attack her simultaneously, but as expected Lou crossed her arms firing at both the mutant squirrels that pounced at her.

\'I have only killed about a third of the mutants, but with how they are grouping up I don\'t know if I can kill them as quickly as I like.\' Lou was unsure how to approach the group of mutants that were ready to attack at any moment.

"Fuck it." Without thinking about it, Lou dashed forward towards the lion and the lion went to grab her with its claws. Quickly stopping her movement Lou raised her leg high up and smashed down with her heel into the oncoming tiger while also firing into the skull of the lion. Thanks to her fire burning the insides of the mutants the core would soon be destroyed by her flames.

A few more mutants went to attack Lou with either a bite, grab or a scratch as the mutants were rather primal and had no abilities to use.

Lou this time made sure she was a bit more precise with her aim as having to reload with the number of mutants around her spelt trouble. Hitting the cores of some of the oncoming mutants Lou noticed that the mutants had surrounded her in a circle.

Smiling, Lou quickly got on her hands and started to spin while doing the splits upside down. Firing the berettas on her heel she was able to set fire to most of the mutants, but with the shot\'s not being as accurate, they had not died from the fire.

Making some of the mutants enraged, they all started to charge at Lou at the same time.

Jumping forward onto a bear mutant that had not been affected by the flames. Lou used that mutant as a springboard and also shot it in the head with her heel.

The mutant bear allowed Lou to jump over the circle of mutants and thanks to their enraged state was easily able to make them attack each other.

The mutants tried to turn around and pounce at Lou one more time, but Lou was already raining down bullets whittling down the horde.

Most of the mutants were now set on fire and the flames made quick work of their bodies, burning the core and legs making most of the mutants disabled.

"Phew." Lou blew the tip of her berettas to rid of the smoke that came out of them and walked down the street making sure there were not any stragglers.

"Is this one alive?" Lou stepped on a mutant insect and shot into the skull with her heel to make sure it was dead. Just as she expected the insect started to squirm as it was slowly being burnt alive.

Lou smiled and decided to fire a few more times into its body making sure it suffered more.

"They sure have beautiful reactions despite not being a person."

Continuing to make her way down the street, she found that there were no mutants left and the only remaining ones were on the verge of death from Lou\'s flame.

\'Now let\'s get back to Kim.\' Lou looked up at the roof where Kim was and saw her peeking over the ledge.

Kim had been looking in awe as the fighting style was rather elegant and made for some cool ways of killing.

However, just as Lou was about to climb, a hand suddenly grabbed Kim from behind pulling her away.

\'Shit." Lou freaked out and instantly went into a sprint and quickly ran up the wall grabbing a window cill.

Lou quickly scaled up the building and as she got to the top of the building there was a group of military members holding Kim seemingly hostage.

"Heh to think we would run into psycho Lou and her little toy." A half dog held Kim\'s beretta up to her head while she spoke to Lou.

Other military soldiers of varying races pointed their weapons at Lou, waiting for her to make a move.

"Ha, and what do you plan to do?" Lou lowered her face, hiding her golden eyes.

"Of course take you with us. This world no longer has rules and we can do whatever we want, no longer will we be cannon fodder for the damn military." The half dog revealed that they were in the lowest rank.

"So the bottom of the barrel huh? That makes things easier." Lou was about to make a move but the half-dog pushed the barrel into Kim\'s head forcing Lou to stop.

"Don\'t move otherwise she goes." The half dog smiled feeling like he had full control of the situation.
