BXBX NOVEL Chapter 287 Father Black's Town
Almost all movies and even books depicting the apocalypse were the same.
Human guts spread everywhere.
Mutated black-skinless dogs, eating the corpses of human beings at different corners.
Some other dogs fighting for a human femur or the like.
Smell of piss, shit, blood and death in the air.
The people that managed to survive, dressed in a mixture of black and rags, that had pointy spikes on the shoulder blades.
Their faces painted with white and black.
They protected a fifteen feet black gate, with rusted coil-barbwire on cement walls on all sides.
Dried, torn out flesh on the rusted barbwire and and a general attitude that said two words: FUCK OFF!
The Familiarity of the place, like he had just stepped into a movie nearly brought a smile to his face.
However, he didn\'t, a stoic expression was best in these times.
Of course, this was how the movies depicted it.
Scarface led the way, and Lenny followed behind.
Lenny looked at the Mutated dogs with surprise.
These creatures were also Ghouls.
However, they were not of the size of those that he had met before.
These were just normal size.
As they came closer, the dogs growled at Lenny.
Scarface explained that these dogs were for security purposes.
They had the scent of everybody within the town.
If they did not know you, they would attack immediately.
With folks from other towns coming to kidnap people for food, the dogs acted as good deterrent against them.
It was the reason why they were growling at him.
Not just Lenny, even the skin he was wearing as a mask was from a different place.
As the dogs growled, they advanced slowly.
"Go! Shoo!! He is with me. Go!!!" Scarface tried to chase the dogs away.
However, no matter how much he shooed them, they still advanced steadily.
Some others left their prey and and and also walked forward, cycling Lenny and Scarface, but their eyes were focused on Lenny.
Lenny quickly noticed that one of the dogs was different from the others.
It was much bigger, having more muscles than the others, and a long diagonal scar cutting across it\'s face.
There was no doubt that this was the leader of the pack.
As it growled, Saliva leaked down it\'s abnormally-wide three-sided open mouth.
Meanwhile, at the gate, one person tapped another, and then another.
Before anyone knew it, they were already placing bets on how the dogs will tear Lenny into two.
A part of their conversation, Lenny could clearly hear.
"I bet half a pound of intestine on that guy getting his head ripped off first."
"I bet two jugs of Desert crab wine. It will be stomach first."
"You assholes Don\'t know nothing. Big black been looking at his dick all this while. I bet my mother for the night."
"HUH!?" Many of them gasped, as a small commotion ensured. However, many others began to make their bets.
The person that had bet his mother, was the son of a prostitute, and she gave really good service.
This was service that either men or women wanted to enjoy as she was quite expensive.
However, amidst the little commotion, a skinny old man smoking a terribly made cigar thought differently.
His eyes scanned Lenny up and down.
For his appeared age, sight should not be his strong suite. Besides, he looked bony and frail, appearing to swim in his baggy clothes.
Such a person in such an environment should have been stepped on a long time ago.
However, proper observation would note that no one came close to him.
None at all tried to disturb his peace. This was partly because of the Ghoul dog sleeping by his side and because of the kind of history he had messing people up that messed with him regardless of age or gender.
He was known simply as Father Black.
After a deep look at the dogs about Scarface and Lenny, he turned to those betting.
"I\'ll bet two hounds!"
His voice was not loud. However, the moment he spoke, it caught every one\'s attention, and created a little uproar.
Food was scarce, and meat to eat was even scarcer.
It was like a king betting gold with paupers betting with Cotton and sheep skin freshly gotten from the farm.
Regardless, a bet was a bet.
Some of the men placing bets could not help but eye the hound by Father Black\'s side as they licked their lips.
"I have always thought of the day I\'ll eat that fucking dog. It looks like it\'s going to be today." The man that had bet his mother chuckled lightly.
Everyone watched attentively.
It was not possible that Lenny or the dogs would make a move and no one would notice.
Lenny followed the eyes of the big black dog for a second.
One look, and he could tell that this beast was actually aiming for his Cock.
Such guts was very admirable.
After checking Lenny out a while, it was time.
However, just when it was about to attack, Lenny turned, his eyes meeting with that of the beast.
Usually, the Satan System kept his power in check, hidden from the prying eyes of the rest of the world.
For this reason, Lenny looked too delicate to the outside world.
However, Lenny had decided to let only a little bit of his hidden Malevolent nature out.
His eyes suddenly turned a quick shade of red, as a whiff of his bloody killing Intent was let loose.
Instantly, the dog closed it\'s mouth as it hurriedly backed away, tucking it\'s tail in-between it\'s legs, and moaning for pain that had not yet touched it\'s skin.
This was the same thing for the others.
Such sudden turn of events took everyone by surprise and the crowd was left speechless.
Especially the man that had bet his mother.
Father Black turned to his side, "I expect her in my shed by night fall. Don\'t fail."
Without even looking, he turned about as he ordered for the gates to be opened.
Meanwhile, Lenny looked at the dog as he contemplated killing it and putting it into his storage unit for later dissection.
Just then, he heard a loud voice.
"Human beings can be foolish because of intelligence, but animals are wise for trusting their instincts."
Lenny turned to the sound of it. It came from the approaching old man...
