Chapter 408: Where Are You Going?
I didn’t have much trust or faith in humans in general. Of course, there were always the exceptions, but this seemed a little too... stupid... for even them. A human run human farm for creatures that we have all just agreed were no longer an issue?
"Any human caught by these rebels is collared and forced to join the farms," continued the guard as he opened the door to the last room on the floor. "We were lucky that they failed in their attempt to get the people in the Sanctuary, but they keep trying. You really can’t be too careful nowadays."
Tank furrowed his brows but nodded his head. "I guess the outside isn’t nearly as safe as I thought it was. We are lucky that we have made it this long."
"You really are," agreed the guard as he walked over to the metal lockers against one wall. There really wasn’t much in the room. A locker and a bed, and that was it. Pulling out a set of sheets, he handed them to Tank. "I hear that they are even looking for little girls," he continued, his eyes drifting over to me. "They can produce a lot of children in the shortest period of time with the least health concerns. Keep your sister close at all times. If you see someone even remotely suspicious, report them to the first security guard you see. ’A safer tomorrow starts with you’."
After saying his peace, the guard quickly left, locking the door behind him.
"Don’t drink the Kool-Aid," grunted Tank, looking down at me. Gently, he stroked my hair as if trying to offer me some level of comfort. "I will keep you safe."
"Please, big brother," I smirked at him. "Even if there were human farms, do you really think anyone is dumb enough to try and kidnap me? They’d be begging you to come pick me up in a matter of minutes."
Tank hummed and smiled at me. "You would cause a Saint to lose his mind," he sighed before going over and making the bed.
"It’s a good thing that you aren’t a Saint, now isn’t it?"
