Chapter 32: Strange warriors.
'So this is the monster that has been killing everyone!' Lee thought to himself.
To meet them was once in a lifetime experience, but to his bitter regret Lee had to realize, that the sight of the seven and a half feet tall, half naked, muscular man with four arms wasn't the last thing he wanted to see before dying.
He much more preferred a quick glance at his beloved, but unfortunately he currently couldn't turn around.
Lee felt Lisa hugging him from behind – apparently she had similar thoughts, but the killing blow didn't follow. The man tilted his head in confusion, and a second later flames on the two blades vanished as if turned off. He sheathed his weapons, and with two hands picked both Lee and Lisa up by their necks, and with the other two began to frisk them.
Lee, seeing the guy dared to touch her intimate spots, loudly cursed and kicked him in the chest, but it felt as if he hit a steel plate. Judging by the pain, he probably fractured a couple of toes, but he didn't care. Luckily his struggle only seemed to amuse the man.
Loudly laughing, he finally let them go, and said something in a strange language. His voice was deep and pleasant and, from the looks of it, he didn't mean any harm.
But then he turned serious, said few more words and with all four arms made a motion, indicating they should stay put. Then he pulled out his weapons again and left, on the way glancing back one more time and letting out a burst of laughter while shaking his head.
The whole situation was so bizarre, neither Lee nor Lisa could move for over a minute. Only when they heard a loud shout in the distance followed by the ground trembling, Lee finally reacted.
He put on the night vision goggles and slowly crouched towards the tunnel the four-armed man exited through. Lisa followed, keeping her hand on his shoulder to not get lost in the darkness.
