Liberators

Chapter 86 - Warsaw

'Klettkus! Kleta!'

Axel and Chloe are seen searching various shelves in this mall. Seeking to find anything that could be their source of food and drink.

Finally, after a few hours, they found him.

"Lookie! I found something!" Shouts Axel.

In front of him was a shelf that fell to the floor. Covering all the items under it.

By the time Axel lifted the shelf, piles of cans of food and drinks they can find in a condition that is still quite good.

The numbers were overwhelming, perhaps enough to meet their needs for hundreds of days more.

"Sister.... It's...."

"You're right. With this, we can survive for a very long time."

Without waiting any longer, the two immediately split the task. On one side Chloe looks busy tidying up and sorting the canned food and drinks. Separate from those that have been damaged and rotten with those that are still in good condition.

Meanwhile, Axel on the other hand looks to be securing a location in the warehouse of this mall material. Install various barricades around the door with piles of iron shelves.

He did so considering that he had discovered several previous monster existences. And do not rule out the possibility of other monsters.

After everything was settled, the two took a break while lighting a bonfire in one of the employee rooms in this warehouse.

Cooking the food they found.

"Sister.... Where are we going next?" Ask Chloe.

In Axel's mind there was only one answer left. Just like before.

"Europe."

But where? In the video, they do not know exactly where the location of the rocket launch.

A rocket that is declared to be carrying the chosen human race out of this destroyed planet. Leaving it to seek a new world.

If only....

They can find that location. Will Axel and his sister be able to climb into the rocket?

Do they have equal rights?

Tired of waiting for the next answer from her sister, Chloe seemed to start closing her eyes slowly.

The discovery this time really made their adrenaline both subside. Feeling so relieved to have managed to find enough food source for both of them in a long time.

But if they have to go once more, there is a limit to the amount of food and drink they can bring.

"Chloe, get some rest. I'll think about it more." Reply Axel.

"Yes...."

Immediately, Chloe immediately laid her body on the floor. Using her backpack as a pillow, the girl fell asleep.

Give Axel a little time to think about this stupid plan well.

......***......

Day after day goes on. But both of them still have not left this mall.

Axel and Chloe are still exploring this mall to find various other useful items. One of them is a large camping bag. Able to bring each food and beverage supplies for 3 weeks more.

Enough amount to give them time to find a minimarket or other mall that they can loot.

Not only that, the two also found a share of the sales of weapons upstairs. Of course, no one is guarding him.

"Can you use it?" Axel asked his sister who was carrying a gun.

'By!!!'

"I think I can." His sister replied after trying to shoot him once.

Axel also took on various other weapons. Includes bullet supplies just in case. But for himself, he chose a machine gun.

Other than the factory-made sword at the North American headquarters, no one could truly withstand its power. And everything will be destroyed after one swing.

So there was no point for Axel to carry such a weapon.

Anyways....

'Of course.... Akane can still find me? Haven't I gone far enough while trying to hide myself?' Axel asked in his own heart.

"Sister, I'm ready" said his sister.

"alright. Let's get out of here."

While carrying a map in his right hand, Axel managed to figure out his current location.

It is located around the Moscow region. In one of the biggest malls in the city. Not only that, the city of Moscow is also one of the twelve cities that have dimensional gates.

It is very difficult to miss it on the map.

And with that information, both of them could determine the direction in which they were going.

For starters, Axel plans to head to one of the major cities in Poland. Warsaw. Based on the calculations, it will probably take a walk for about 11 days or more.

Long enough, but at least their food supply will last for 3 weeks.

The two travel in cold snow from nuclear explosions around the world, and a deadly radiation storm begins.

It was only by wearing Hazmat protective clothing to protect them from this extreme situation.

......***......

"Sister.... So that's...." Chloe said in amazement as she pointed towards the distance.

When he turned his face, Axel could see it clearly. A structure so large that it can be seen from tens of kilometers away.

The structure had a semi-circular shape with a thick steel frame beside it. But by this time, most of the skeleton had been damaged and warped.

"You're right. Gate dimension. All that preceded the destruction of this world." Reply Axel while staring at the dimensional gate in Moscow.

It seems that Russia is not joking about those who reject this technology. Then destroy it yourself.

Staring at the ruins of the dimension gate that was as high and as wide as hundreds of meters above that, Axel felt a strange atmosphere.

If only things had gone well, perhaps humanity today had flown and explored space with an infinite source of energy. But unfortunately, the opposite happened.

Human civilization has been pushed back hundreds, or even thousands of years. Where to survive alone, humans have been very difficult.

"You know brother? I wish I could go back in time and stop the project." said Chloe with a sad face behind the glass gas mask.

His words are right.

Anyone who managed to survive this time, would definitely think the same. To repeat everything and prevent this from happening.

"Unfortunately nothing is so beautiful and so easy." Reply Axel who immediately continued his footsteps.

Along the way, the two are constantly looking for new food and drinks in every minimarket they meet.

The only sign of life they encountered, was the corpses of the monsters lying on the streets. Their bodies appear to have rotted. And most of it is just bones.

Every now and then, they found a human body that had been lying helpless. Killed not by monsters, but by nuclear radiation caused by human hands.

Upon arrival in Warsaw, the things they encountered were also similar. It's just this time....

"Stop! Who're you!" Shouted some people in thick Hazmat clothes while pointing their rifles at Axel.

Some of the soldiers appeared to be on standby behind an iron barricade. Blockading this city.

"Sister.... There are people." Chloe said happily. Finally after this long journey, the two of them saw another human figure.

"Yes, you're right."

Axel immediately put his weapon on the ground and raised both of his hands.

"Refugees from the East. We don't have the slightest ill will, just trying to survive." Reply Axel with English.

One of the soldiers then gave the code to check on the two of them.

After it was confirmed that there were no dangerous objects such as bombs or anything like that, the guards also let the two pass through this barricade.

"Please. We don't have much, but the EU government has fought for the best." Said one of the soldiers.

"Thank you."

Behind the barricades, there are only empty streets and ruins of the city. Not many people survive in this city.

One of the soldiers invited Axel and Chloe to rest in one of the underground bunkers.

Ask what the purpose of both is.

"So where are you going?" Ask the soldier.

Axel hesitated a little to reveal the truth. Considering the rocket project it might be a big secret.

But in the end, Axel dared himself to speak.

"I hear you guys have a rocket project to leave Earth. Is that true?" Ask Axel.

The two soldiers eyes opened wide as if they could not believe what they had just heard.

"If true.... We just want to know if we can ride it." Axel.

"Before that, we wanted to make sure of something. Who are you guys really? And why did it get here? Take it easy, we, the EU, uphold human rights. Most importantly, say it honestly."

Another soldier suddenly came to open the door of this bunker. Bring a warm meal and drink for both.

Although, what they served was just simple wheat porridge and plain water. But food is food.

Given the current situation in the world, food is far more valuable than any beautiful piece of jewelry.

While enjoying the simple banquet, Axel told him everything.

Both of them are from the United States. Where he joined as a Liberator there, and what happened after that.

Including.... About the East Asian assault.

"So so.... We have always been suspicious of East Asian movements. But it seems to be true. Then, do you know anything about the nuclear explosion?" Ask the soldier.

Axel simply shook his head while answering.

"We were still in the middle of nowhere when the missiles were fired."

The soldier took a deep breath. After a while, he grabbed the blank white paper by his side. Write something on it.

"As you know, the European Union intends to send as many of humanity out of the earth as possible."

"Eh?"

Axel and Chloe were surprised to hear that. They were told by the Russian side that Europe intended to leave the rest of humanity to rot in this world.

But apparently....

Conspiracies occur in many different places. Makes Axel doubtful, which is right and which is wrong.

"The first wave will launch in exactly 21 days in Berlin, Germany. I heard that currently the space ship departure quota is 2,000 people and only filled with about 1,200 people." Obviously the soldier.

"Du-two thousand? Then.... Why are so many empty?"

Shaking his head, the soldier replied.

"Most of us choose to stay a little longer. There will be a total of 10 space ships launched. The soldiers intend to board the 9th and 10th wave ships.

More importantly, save civilians. As long as it can be fulfilled, we are satisfied." The soldier was friendly.

Axel did not expect it. That all this time, his suspicion of the European Union went far enough.

So did Chloe who was currently starting to show a smile filled with hope. A hope to leave this dead world.

Before Axel could answer, the soldier made a stamp on the previous paper. Then hand it over to Axel.

"This is my recommendation that you pass through the whole guard post easily to Berlin. Just show them this letter. Someone will definitely escort you to the launch lounge." explained the soldier.

"Thank you very much! I don't know what to reply to...." Reply Axel who immediately lowered his head.

"Master, can we at least know your name?" Chloe asked as well while lowering her head.

With a friendly smile, the soldier replied.

"Abraham, captain of the army at the Warsaw guard post."
