《The Network》[Chapter 6] Gang

Why me?!
But...at least I feel slightly stronger
I flex my biceps that are now noticeably larger and denser
I grin. It won't be much longer now until I truly become a man!
"Still, I have to find food."
If I remember correctly...the supermarket was that way, I stretch my hand out towards the east
Will there still be food left after the explosion though?
Well, I got to try.
I start towards the supermarket. Normally the distance between our house and the supermarket is an 8-minute drive.
So it wasn't that far away and I knew the general direction of it, even amidst the destruction.
...
~POV change[Selena]~
That dirty gorilla man was just about to...defile me.
ME?!
No man shall touch the holy sanctuary that is my body!
Luckily some guy wanted to play hero and came to my rescue.
Guys like that are too easy!
I could have saved myself with this though-
[Electric Shock]: The user can release electrical current to destroy things, causing heat and paralysis in living beings.
Anyway, he's dead now...oh well.
After securing my escape I ran north for around 10 minutes before stopping
"What even happened?"
"Where are my parents?"
"Where is my butler?!"
"Benson! Benson!...Bensooooon! Where are you?!"
I scream in every direction for my useless butler
WROOM!
WROOM!
10 men ranging from older adolescent to middle-aged men riding on black motorcycles race through the rough terrain towards me.
They stop just a couple of meters away from me, the person in the front removes their helmet revealing a man in his early 20s with a red-colored soldier cut. His green eyes were decorated with an eyebrow piercing.
"Hello beautiful, what are you doing out here!" He cheered
I eyed the man with suspicion, especially after seeing the shotgun strapped around his back and the gun at his side

A memory of the man who tried to rape me flashed across my mind.
"Can't you answer?" One of the men taunted
He got off his bike and reached for me
Reflexively I activated [Electric Shock] as I stabbed at the man with my nails
[Electric Shock] has been activated.
The moment I touched him blue electricity surged from me to him with a-
Sizzle! and eventually a Bang!
His body shot away from me; his chest area scorched
"AAaAAH!!" He screamed out in pain
His jacket sparked and lit on fire
"AAAAAAHHHAAAGH!!!"
He rolled around on the floor in agony and shock
"PUT IT OUT!!" He shrieked
His gang members were in a state of amazement and fury
Some were quick to react and ran to him to help put it out
This was my chance
I turned tail and ran as fast as my legs could carry me and didn't turn back
"Get that BITCH!"
~POV change[Felix]~
Finally, I reached the supermarket area that was in a similarly sad state as everything else.
I glanced around at the rubble and shrugged
Better start digging
...
Okay, I managed to fish out: a mango, two apples, one watermelon, a pineapple, two cans of beans, a bag of white bread, honey, a packet of cookies, and a can of soft drink from a brand I had never heard about.
These were the items that I found that we not burned or damaged by the explosion
This should be enough.
I consume the food in an animalistic way that surprises even myself. But when it gets to the honey, I smear it on the white bread.
[Hunger] has been satisfied.Host back at full health.
Yes!
Wait for a second, now that I think about it has been calling me host for a while and...if I remember correctly it said something about serving [The Network]

Damn...it was all a game...entertainment!
It brought back a memory that I was trying to forget
Anyway...what do I do no-
Something bumped into me from the side
By reflex, I get into a fighting stance
Probably because of my [Martial Arts] skill
It's...a girl...no!
The girl
The girl that abandoned me after I saved her!
The moment we locked eyes she gives me a weird look
~POV change[Selena]~
I look up at the guy from before
Wasn't he dead
Maybe he ran away and survived
But..why does he look taller and more muscular and most of all...more like a man?
It doesn't matter
"Please save me!" I begged
I hope he is as easy as before
~POV change[Felix]~
The girl took my arm and pressed it against her chest
"Please save me!" She begged
Every hair in my body stood up...she...she's so beautiful!
Blood ran down my nose(I'm joking)
This girl, I have to save her- is what I would have said if she didn't leave me to die.
She has the nerve to beg me after leaving me for dead!
I was going to ask her "from what?"
When 8 motorcycles with men on them stopped in front of us and a guy from the front came up to me and demanded
"Give us the girl."
His eyes were the cold eyes of a killer
I stared at him for a while
Then replied
"I'm sorry, but I can't do that-"
I gave him a taste of his own medicine and glared at him with my eyes while activating [Acute mind]
[Acute mind] has been activated.
~POV change[Selena]~
With his reply a smile crawled up on my face
Good, he will be able to at least buy me some time.
It's because boys like him are too easy
~POV change[Felix]~
It's because I want the experience!
