Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

A few minutes later...

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

"You idiot! You almost got us all killed!" Layla screamed as she threw one ice spear after another at Jade.

"Calm down Layla! Let's talk about this. I didn't know the explosion would be so exaggerated"Jade replied as she dodged the ice spears.

She knew she was in the wrong so she didn't dare try to fight back. She was certain if she did, the other two would join in. She wouldn't be able to escape a beating if such a thing happened.

"I am calm. Calmly trying to end your life! Now stand still and die you menace!" Layla replied as she increased the number of ice spears she tossed at Jade.

One might think she was overreacting, right? After all, they made it out alive.

However, such a thought would disappear from the mind of whoever was having it the moment they saw the damage Jade caused.

The dome of black energy actually extended for three kilometres! Everything within those three kilometres was erased out of existence. All that was left was a deep hole.

If the girls had been caught up in the blast, they would have definitely been consumed as well.

And the world would have probably been destroyed when Muku returns and learns of their death. One had to know, his bloodline probably could achieve such a feat if he lost control. He would definitely die too, but would he care?

Anyway, Layla eventually stopped after venting a bit. At that point, she just felt like getting away from Jade. The girl seemed to be really set on making her break character that day.

The ground then continued its journey home. This time Jade walked a few metres in front of everyone. It was what Layla decided. She even threatened to freeze Jade on the spot if she dared do anything other than walk.

The tactic seemed to have been the right one since they made it home without anything else happening.

...

Back at the explosion site...

Water suddenly began bubbling out of the ground from the centre of the large hole. The explosion seemed to have hit a water vein.

As for how much water was going to come out onto the surface. Only time would tell...

What was certain though was that all traces of NL Base had been erased from existence. From the main building ruins to the collapsed secret room.

Everything was wiped clean. All that was left was the three-kilometre-long hole. Though if one looked hard enough. They might find some beast cores from a few beasts that were unlucky and couldn't escape on time...

It would be low-level beast cores though. There were no live R3s close by when the explosion occurred.

Anyway, no beasts dared come close to the hole to check things out. The reason was the remnant energy from the explosion which made the danger senses of all who saw it scream.

For that reason, the black-gas-spewing hole was left unbothered. As for what would become of it. No one knew...

....

Somewhere many kilometres away from the hole: Inside what appeared to be a command room.

"Ma'am, we have just lost the gun signals from all ten people we sent to investigate that base in the south" A man who was sitting in front of what appeared to be a computer reported to a lady who sat behind him and nine others.

From the setting, it seemed that the man and nine others were monitoring certain things and reporting to the individual.

"Hmm. Is that so? Did that base's leaders really go rogue? Have they forgotten the power the headquarters has? Sigh. Why did they have to be under me? Anyway, if they want force. Then that's what I'll give them. Tell Team A to go over there. They are to kill anyone and everyone except the leader. We need him to offset the heat from headquarters" The lady gave her orders after complaining for a bit.

"Yes, Ma'am!" The man from before acknowledged the order and immediately sent out the message.

While he felt that sending Team A was overkill. He didn't say anything against it. He wasn't paid to express his opinion... Well, he wasn't paid at all. But he got to eat his fill and live in safety with his family in the apocalypse. And he saw no need to jeopardise that...

And so, the orders were sent to Team A through the computer-like(desktop) device.

....

Somewhere in the forest close to the command centre...

Beep! Beep! Beep!

"Hhm?... Tsk. Okay ladies. Fun time is over. It seems we have a mission to take care of!... Damn! I hate this thing. I miss the days when missions waited until we returned instead! Who would have thought that technology was an unkillable monster? Even in the apocalypse, it's finding a way to come back" A handsome middle-aged man called out to his team in the distance. He then began complaining to himself as the team came over.

"Aww. Come on Captain. I'm really starting to have some fun here. What's the mission? It better involve some killing otherwise I refuse to go" A pretty lady with a seductive body complained immediately after arriving in front of the man she called Captain.

She had brown eyes and pitch black here. She was wearing a tight, black body suit which clearly displayed her hourglass figure which would inspire lustful thoughts in any man's mind.

"Yes, Captain. We can't let that lady walk over us so much. Why don't we delay by a day as a way of protesting?" A hotheaded-looking man spoke in support of the seductive lady. His eyes would trail over her body from time to time.

He was clearly interested but too scared to speak up. He probably thought that supporting her would get him noticed. Unfortunately for him, the lady seemed to only have eyes for their captain.

Two more individuals came and joined the three. Unlike the noisy two. They didn't say anything. They just quietly waited for the captain to give his orders.

One was a lanky man who had his face covered and the other was a burly man holding a giant axe.

"Scarlet, James... Shut up! Can't you two just quietly wait for orders like Gnoth and Pete here? Are you two allergic to being quiet for a change? Ah! Whatever, we don't have time for this. If you've gathered everything... Let's go" The man rebuked the two trouble-causers of his team then jumped onto the back of the giant beast which stood behind him.

The beast turned out to be a PR3 Griffin! The difference between it and the random beasts the team from before had was pretty huge. Not just in rank but bloodline power.

Anyway, it was definitely not a beast one would mess with easily. Just its aura alone was probably enough to scare some R2s to death.

"Hehe. It seems Captain is still as lively as ever" The lady known as Scarlet giggled as she jumped onto the beast as well. She was clearly unaffected by his harsh words.

The other three soon joined her and the captain on the Griffin's back. The group of five then took off into the distance. Their destination was obviously NL Base. One has to wonder how they will react when they find nothing but a big hole there.

Something which stood out from the group was their clothes. They weren't dressed weirdly like Andy's group.

Either they were rebels or they had enough power to allow them to dress however they wanted.

From the sight of their playground, one would favour the latter possible reason.

The reason being the twenty-plus dead bodies of MR3 beast which lay all over the "playground". Then there was the body of a PR3 the captain had been sitting in before.

One would think it was all possible due to them having a PR3 Griffin on their side right? If so, one would be wrong. The Griffin stayed in hiding until the fight was over.

The group of five killed the twenty-plus beasts all on their own. And the captain killed the PR3 beast on his own.

So, it was safe to say, the group definitely has enough strength to wear whatever they wanted in whatever organisation they were part of.

It was the apocalypse, after all. Strength ruled all!

And that strength was moving in the direction of Muku's girls. Will they be able to come out on top like they have always done or will they fall?

No one knows. After all, if the two groups do meet, it would be the first time the girls would face humans of equal strength outside of their team. In fact, the humans might be even stronger than they.

Well, whatever happens. If the two groups meet. Something interesting was going to happen...

....

Back at the mansion...

"Hello everyone" Jade greeted everyone the other girls awkwardly. She had overlooked her long disappearance when she decided to come back. And now the situation was awkward...

"What is she doing here?" Emily didn't respond to Jade's greeting. She looked at Hope, Layla and Chloe as she asked a question.

Despite accepting Jade's path, she was still not happy about it. And she wasn't going to pretend otherwise...
