Chapter 57: Senseless Fight
Valentina was breathing heavily after a prolonged fight...
Around the perimeter of the police station, bodies lay everywhere, turning the snow-white landscape a bloody red.
Worst of all, this blood wasn’t from monsters, but from humans!
It all started as soon as she managed to get her hands on a power generator by spending all the points she could gather. This new resource brought great comfort to the survivors in her group, renewing everyone’s hope and boosting morale after the devastating news of a terrible winter...
But such a valuable item also caught the attention of many groups of survivors who thought they could take such a treasure for themselves...
Valentina thought she could reason with some of these groups, but this only resulted in some men on her side being killed in the initial clashes, as they tried to spare the lives of the desperate survivors. But with the deaths of innocent people on the police station’s side, the use of lethal force was used without restraint.
Every day, a new group tried to steal the generator, but in the end, their blood soaked the area around the police station. Valentina initially felt guilty about all the bloodshed, but when she learned that most of these groups were subordinates of the surviving mafias, she stopped caring and became less callous about it all.
"Captain, there are some still alive. Should we execute them? Our prisons are full, and we’ll have to feed these scum through the worst of the winter..." complained a disgruntled officer.
Killing these men as they attacked the base was one thing; executing them unarmed was quite another. Valentina couldn’t give that order. And while she remained silent, her father intervened.
"Leave them to me. Heal their wounds enough for them to walk. I’ll send them to collect some items I need. If they survive, I’ll let them work for us under my supervision." Commissioner Luis Morales stood out, taking responsibility for the men.
"Dad... Thank you!"
