Chapter 81 - I Just Don’t Like It
"Alright… next!" Nile said as he received the Pointy Stick from Papaya Lady.
The group of robbers have lined up according to their gender. The male is on the left while the female is on the right side.
Maximo and Croco are circling the group to guard if they ever had the thoughts of escaping. Maximo, in particular, is pretty enthusiastic as he will glare intensely at the group while he marches left and right. Sometimes he will bark... I mean, he will 'mooo' to warn the group. Croco made the spikes on his back stand upright like an alert cat.
Being guarded furiously by two mutated animals on either side, as well as the monster, Nile in the front, the group could not even move slightly due to the pressure that they felt.
Robbing someone is one thing, but being robbed is also an entirely different matter.
Of course, it's already confirmed, Trap is really a girl, as she lined herself just behind Papaya Lady.
On the other side, Violet Man was first followed by Browny who was being supported by Shorty in the back. Both arms of Browny are hanging limp on the side.
Violet Man seemed to have lost his reason as he kept on mumbling something like a crazy man.
Nile arrived at the front of 'Trap' and extended his hands to receive the Whip. With the ski mask on, Trap's face is well hidden. Only the area of her brows, her eyes and the bridge of her nose are visible to Nile.
Nile extended his hand again after seeing that Trap had still not given him the Whip. On closer look, Nile could infer that Trap is reluctant to hand her weapon over. Nile could somewhat understand her. It was her weapon after all.
However, this is a robbery, and there is nothing she could do about it. Well, if she could overpower Nile, then perhaps she still has an opportunity.
Trap handed her weapon and turned towards Papaya Lady. She started sobbing at Papaya lady's 'Papaya'. Papaya Lady rubbed her back to comfort her.
Nile saw this scene and could not help but make a 'what's wrong?' expression. What's wrong? You all started this alright?
Nile shook his head and approached the three males on the left. Nile started from the front. It was the Violet man.
Violet Man was still mumbling like crazy when Violet man saw Nile approaching. He became tense all of a sudden and got rooted in place.
Nile did not know what was going on. Violet man's reaction is over the top. He could not tell if Violet man was only acting, but if he really was, then he's a good actor.
When Nile demanded Violet man's weapon, the rusted machete, Violet man immediately handed it over with his hands shivering. Nile is perplexed as Violet man's response is the polar opposite compared to the girls.
Well, it can be comprehended because the girls' weapon is mutated ones, while Violet man's weapon is not.
Maybe that's the reason why he handed it over like it was nothing?
Nile arrived at their leader, Browny's front. Even though it was clear as a day that their strength difference is a world apart, Browny is still housing ill intentions.
Of course, Nile had noticed Browny's vicious glare. He thought that Browny's reaction was normal. If he were in his shoes, Nile would surely have the same feelings.
Nile demanded his weapon, which Shorty is now holding as Browny is no longer capable of holding it. Browny glared at Nile more intensely when he saw his precious dagger being handed over by Shorty.
Nile is getting irritated by that glare. If glares could kill, then Nile would have been tortured already by the glare that Browny is emitting.
Nile scrunched his brow together and demanded the last weapon from Shorty, the club. The club also had signs of rust, but because it was covered by rubber, some of the rust had been concealed. Browny was also pretty reluctant on handling his club over, even though it was not a mutated one, that club had accompanied him years ago when their gang was still operating.
Shorty heaves a sigh and hands his club over. There is nothing he could do. They had to dig their own pit to try to rob a monster. It was already good that Nile did not kill them.
Shorty thought that because they have already handed their weapon over, the matter is already closed as they can now consider it as even.
Nile had also already turned away from them, intending to leave. However, it was at this moment that Nile halted his steps, Nile slowly turned around and faced the Male section.
Without any warning, Nile arrived at Browny's front and punched his face squarely. Browny flew back like a rocket and his body was smashed in one of the trees.
Browny slumped to the ground as his companions rushed over to help him.
Trap was crying.
Papaya Lady's eyes are also starting to water.
Violet Man did not rush over but dropped to where he was and started to mumble again like a crazy man. Violet man started to grab his head causing the ski mask to fall off. His hair was messy and dirty, he grabbed his hair like a madman.
Shorty supported Browny's body. There is a rage in his eyes.
Maximo and Croco arrived at the area where Browny's body got smashed. They glared at the group threateningly. One wrong move from the opposite party and they will surely act accordingly.
Papaya Lady took off Browny's ski mask. Browny had fainted. Blood was dripping out from his nose and mouth. Papaya Lady touched Browny's face worriedly as her tears started to fall off from her eyes.
She turned around and stomped her feet to the ground forcefully. Her breast wriggled because of that.
She glared daggers at Nile and said while tears continued to fall from her eyes "Why?... Why did you do that? We have already surrendered our weapons, isn't it enough? Why?"
Nile frowned and looked at the Papaya Lady.
"Nothing... I just don't like the way he glared at me!" Nile said plainly.
Nile hopped and landed in front of Papaya Lady directly.
Nile is taller than Papaya Lady. Using his height advantage, Nile came closer and stared down towards Papaya Lady's eyes.
Beads of sweat started to roll over Papaya Lady's forehead as she felt the intense glare that came from Nile.
When she caught a glimpse of that brown eye of his, she thought for a second that she was stared by a beast, instead of a person.
Papay Lady bulges her eyes out. The tears that had been rolling on her cheek earlier seemed to have dried all of a sudden. She felt suffocated by Nile's glare. It was as if something or someone was choking her neck.
Nile stared down at Papaya lady's eyes and then stated calmly, "I don't like the way you look at me too!"
Papaya Lady's legs turned into jelly all of a sudden as she slumped to the ground, shivering.
"Mercy, please... She's a woman!" Shorty pleaded as he kneeled on the ground.
Nile looked at him for a second and said. "Woman? You all seemed to have forgotten something. We are in an Apocalypse. There are no such things as a woman here. All are equal. Strength is the one that will define your status."
Well, if they did not intend to rob him, then he might have treated them differently.
"The moment you intercepted and intended to rob me, you all should have already accounted for something like this to happen. Just like how you intend to rob me, I can do it too. And because I have the strength, I can even do more and none of you here can stop me." Nile furiously said.
If you have the gall to do it, then you should be prepared to receive the same treatment as well.
"We have already apologized to you, you already have our weapon, what more do you want?" Trap screamed at the top of her lungs.
'How idiotic!' Nile commented inside his head. If this is the usual apocalypse where there are numerous zombies. Then this area must have already been flooded by the zombies already because of the commotion that they had caused. And this girl even screamed on top of that.
Nile clicked his tongue. This group is weak but troublesome. He still did not want to dirty his hands by killing them, though.
Nile chuckled. "What more do I want? Nothing, as I said before, I just don't like how Browny glared at me. It was irritating."
Browny? Who's Browny? Trap and Shorty's confused expressions are very obvious.
Nile looked down again and saw that Papaya Lady was lying weakly on the ground. Nile smelled something and felt disgusted all of a sudden.
Papaya Lady had just peed her jeans in fright.
Nile stepped a few steps backwards. He noticed that Trap is still looking at him hatefully. He intended to give this trap a lesson as well, but he ultimately decided against it.
He had already wasted his time again.
'Why do I always get into this kind of trouble? Survivors, stay away from me, please.' Nile grumbled inside his head.
"Max, Croc, let's go.", Nile said as he hopped into Maximo's back.
Maximo glanced and snorted on the group one last time. When they passed by Browny's body, Maximo even left a kick in Trap's butt as a present.
Maximo then strode happily, while Croco followed behind his back. Of course, Croco had also not forgotten to bump the kneeling Shorty's shoulder.
