Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 21: 21. The supermarket (3): A treasure trove

Dexter's coat fluttered in the wind as he fell down with his legs facing the ground. The wind was hard on his skin but Dexter still didn't close his eyes.

*BANG!*

Dexter landed on the solid ground and it cracked beneath his feet. He felt pain in his knee joint but the pain was gone in a few seconds.

"Never thought I would do something like that." He said as he began to walk to the other side of the building.

Dexter stopped and frowned as his vision began to flash red and he began to smell blood everywhere. A red line appeared in his sight and his vision appeared to be darker than before.

He shook his head as he fought the sensation and temptation to drink, to drink, to suck...

'Why now? Damn this is getting harder and harder.' Dexter struggled to keep his body from moving on it's own.

Veins began popping on his face as he struggled to keep his instincts intact.

'Blood! Blood! Blood! Blood!' Those were the only things coming to his mind at this moment.

His body already started moving towards the other side where he saw red lights which were the necks of living beings climbing down.

He opened his mouth to reveal two sharp fangs among his set of white teeth and he brought his hand up before biting hard on the back of his palm, reaching the bone.

He groaned loudly as the pain reached his head and his view began to clear until he couldn't see the red lights leading him to his teammates and he couldn't feel himself not in control of his body.

He slumped on the ground and rested his back on the wall as he looked at his hand.

'I didn't notice this before.' He thought as he looked at the sharp, black claws which replaced his fingernails.

Each of the claws looked like crystals as their surfaces glistened under the sunlight.

'Damn. I need blood, and fast.' He thought as he struggled to get up.

The hand he bit, his left hand still had the claws out while the other hand transformed back and he hid his left hand inside the coat he wore as he made his way to the other side of the building.

"Hm?" Dexter looked to see that most of them were already down.

"Holy...!!" Cole fell on his butt as he saw Dexter come from the other side of the building.

"What the...?" Laurence looked up with wide eyes and then back at Dexter. "I i didn't see... you didn't climb down."

"I jumped down." Dexter shrugged.

The rest of the team was dumbfounded as they heard what Dexter said and they looked at the height of the building.

More than 45 metres tall... and he jumped down.

"I have an ability." Dexter said and the rest of the group just nodded in understanding.

Seems like they are still getting used to the apocalypse even if four days have passed since it started.

"Come on." Laurence and the others pulled the hooks that were at the top of the building by force and it broke the bricks at the top.

They all moved back and let the metal hooks and falling debris land before picking the hooks. After packing they entered the truck and immediately drove to the supermarket.

...

"You jumped down from a fifteen storey building without a scratch. What skill is it exactly?" Zain asked immediately Dexter sat down, not giving him breathing space.

Dexter looked around and saw Rina looking at him in anticipation. Seems like she wasn't going to say anything too. Even Leo and the military men in black were staring at him as well.

"It's not exactly a skill. The coat I'm wearing has inbuilt stat points and it was very expensive to make it." Dexter lied.

'Wow. Even after all these years, my ability... to lie is still with me.' Dexter sighed. 'We promised that we wouldn't lie anymore after that incident.'

He wanted to reminisce but he wouldn't be able to.

"Wow. That's amazing." Rina said excitedly. " Look at you. You can now hold your own against monsters now."

"Our boy has grown." Zain nodded. frёeωebɳovel.com

Dexter didn't take any offense and just focused on not focusing on the smell of blood emanating off of the rest of the team.

...

After ten minutes of driving the truck finally came to a halt and the group came out from the back.

The supermarket was now in their view and they saw the metal door cave in and the bullet stuck in the dent.

"Wow. We're definitely taking this door back." Laurence said and the rest of the guys Immediately went to the green bag which had a lot of snipers in it and brought out other tools.

The door was locked, chained from the outside.

Chapman, Cole and Johnny the black guy went and they didn't cut the chain, no, they cut the door out of the building which was quite a sight.

After putting the doors on top of the truck they entered into the supermarket which was as quiet as a graveyard. The windows were closed as everywhere was dark.

"Um. Captain. This place has a backup generator." Chapman's voice reached their ears and they looked back to see a big, rectangular box which was a generator. The sun light reached it.

"Is it charged?"

Chapman Confirmed by pressing a button and then a green light flashed.

"It's charged sir. Full, 13000 kilowatts-hours left." Chapman smiled widely.

"That's a lot. Switch it on. This place doesn't have windows."

The generator was switched on with a flip of a switch and dozens of bulbs lit up with the air conditioners and other electronics.

"Damn." Dexter mumbled as he saw a lot of rows with goods in them and the supermarket had a very wide area.

60 metres by 30 metres! It was huge!

"Our truck won't be able to contain all these things. For now, just take essential things like food, water and medicine."

"Yes captain." The crew dispersed into different directions.

Beatrice looked around with furrowed brows, as if sensing that something was wrong, and Laurence noticed this.

"What is it?" He asked.

Beatrice pointed at the floor.

"These black ropes on the floor. They don't look like ropes at all." She said and Laurence too looked around.

There were black ropes running on the walls of the store and on the shelves too. At first she thought it was just ropes but she saw one of them move. Which was abnormal.

"ARGHHHHH!!!"

*BANG BANG...!*

A loud shout came from another end of the store along with sounds of gunfire and Beatrice and Laurence immediately ran to the direction of the voice.
