Chapter 96: A new superhuman for Ceasar.
It was a nightmare for Ceasar Rommel, and this was not because he was dreaming. He was wide awake and listening to another report of another failed attempt by the soldiers to set foot outside.
Just as soldiers had defected when he forced them to go into the mist, many were threatening to defect if they were sent out into the rain.
For this reason, there had been no updates from the lab since the explosion. Not one single piece of information had reached them. All the radios were dead silent.
He was also worried about corrosion of the bunker. The more it rained, the more dangerous it was for them down there. If it continued, they would have to escape its safety and move to the white house.
"When will this damn rain stop!" He bellowed. "I am tired of being cooped down here like some kind of animal that lives in the ground. And these idiots with me are not helpful, all they do is eat and whimper." He stood up and started to pace around like an impatient caged animal. "I managed to get my hands on only two superhumans and now I don’t know where they are. Dammit!!"
Lugard gulped a little because he was about to say what everyone that worked for Ceasar was too afraid to say. "Sir, at this point it’s only fair to assume that all those people are dead."
Lugard was afraid that Ceasar would shoot him when he was throwing a temper tantrum. The man was very unpredictable and unreasonable. There was acid rain outside, nobody would be walking freely until it stopped. Why couldn’t Ceasar exercise patience and wait? If there was one superhuman, there would be more.
In a moment of rage, Ceaser carried the wooden chair and hurled it across the room, breaking its legs.
Lugard shivered. "Here we go again." he thought. Ceasar always made bad decisions when he was throwing temper tantrums like this one.
"I lost the superhumans and the doctors. I also lost a lot of men, and I will have to begin from scratch when the cursed rain stops." He bitterly complained.
