Chapter 116: An odd superhuman.
The search for Alfred took the group to what was still standing of a factory that belonged to a major soft drink manufacturer. It had been built with thick concrete, and it would have been completely fine had it not been for the holes in the roof through which acid rain dripped into the building.
All of this, Major Elio could see, and he described what he was looking at. "There about one fifty people inside. It must be workers that were trapped here after meteors fell. I don’t see any guns, but it doesn’t mean they don’t have weapons. We are going to be outnumbered if we head in."
"We have guns, and we are already here so we might as well head in and take a look." Sunshine told them.
They geared up, kept steady grips on their weapons and forged forward. Their eyes were sharp as they took in their surroundings outside, worried about being ambushed by humans or mutated monsters.
Outside, every bit of carbon steel had been corroded by acid rain. Around a giant glass soda bottle that had been built outside as a decoration, mutated fungi were thriving.
"Watch out for the mushrooms." Sunshine warned the team.
Two soldiers rammed the door open, and the team entered loudly with force.
"Nobody move." Siegfried bellowed through a small microphone in his helmet.
Right from the entrance they found survivors who were just as stunned to see them. Sunshine discovered that they had formed what looked like an organized base of their own. Most children were isolated in one area, and some were sleeping in crates which once held their favorite sodas.
Her hearing was sharp, and she heard the sound of a woman teaching someone or some people about water filtration and the possibility of turning acid rain to drinkable water. Unless she had the superpower of detoxification, Sunshine was sure the woman would fail.
She could also smell herbal medicine coming from syrup tanks that once held juice concentrates.
As she analyzed this group of survivors, the rest of the team was already showing pictures of Alfred around.
