Chapter 7

Author: Sael Walker
With that, I ignored Garrett's desperate screams and slammed the bulletproof windows shut before drawing the curtains.

Back inside, I was immediately wrapped in the warm air. Mom and Dad sat on the couch, still pale from what they'd just seen and heard happening outside the window.

"Flint…" Dad hesitantly called out.

I walked over and poured him a cup of warm tea. "Are you feeling soft again, Dad?"

Dad was silent for a long time before he shook his head and let out a heavy sigh. "No. I saw h

    I walked over and took my parents' cold hands. "Mom, Dad, don't worry. I have a plan, and we have nothing to fear as long as we're together."With a thought, I moved everything in the grocery store into my system inventory. Then, taking them by their hands, I led them in.I took out the three shimmering blue vials of awakening potions and handed them over. "This potion can awaken our superpowers. Drink it, and we'll never be helpless ordinary people again."Mom, Dad, trust me."They shared a look and downed the potion without a hint of hesitation. "We'll do anything for you and this family, Flint."A flash of brilliant blue light filled the room. Suddenly, Dad felt heat surge through his body before a shimmering, golden kitchen knife appeared in his hand.The system reappeared."Congratulations to Dad for awakening a rare superpower—Chef's Domain! All food cooked within this domain boosts the consumer's physical and mental energy and grants temporary special buffs!"Mom, on t

    When the short-tempered and paranoid bald leader heard my words, his remaining eye instantly turned bloodshot. He lunged forward and grabbed Ronnie by the collar with terrifying strength."How dare you lie to me!"You said it was just a family of weak, easy targets I could easily control! Now look at my face and my eye; how are you going to pay for this?"Ronnie was so terrified that he wet himself on the spot. His legs went limp as he frantically pointed at Hailey. "No! It wasn't me, boss! Let me explain!"It was her! This bitch said that her boyfriend was a total pushover and a gullible idiot, and it has nothing to do with me at all. I was tricked too!"Ronnie shrieked as he tried to scramble back, but Hailey grabbed him tightly. "You're lying, Ronnie! You're the one who came up with the plan to rob the grocery store just so you could join the gang!"You said that once we had the supplies, you'd become the second-in-command and I'd finally live a good life. I gave up Flint for

    I'd exerted all my force into the slap on Hailey's face. She spun twice like a top with half her face instantly swelling up like it was stung by bees.Before Ronnie could react, I pivoted and caught him with a backhand-forehand combo of two slaps, each on his left and right cheek, sending his glasses flying with a loud crack. I figured it was about time he learned a new dance—the Whirlwind of Love."Flint, you—"They were completely stunned and stood rooted to the spot, holding their faces.I clutched my chest and feigned a heartbroken, disappointed look. "You love me, don't you, Hailey? If you do, then listen up!"And Ronnie, how could you be so ungrateful? That's your dad hanging there, so how could you say you'd cut the rope for just a bite of food? You're such a disappointing son, and as your cousin, seeing you this way breaks my heart."And you, Hailey! You're practically family, yet you just stood there and watched as Ronnie humiliated his dad for a meal. You should've led

    I set my tongs down and wiped my mouth. Hailey arrived at the perfect time.I slowly switched on the loudspeaker and let out a cold laugh. "Save you? You're here to save my uncle since he's your future father-in-law, aren't you?"Hailey froze, and the look in her eyes flickered. "W-What are you talking about? Your dad's obviously the father-in-law."Honey, look. I admit I've been a little nicer to Ronnie at work, but that was for your sake. He's your cousin, isn't he?"Just open the door. I'm literally freezing to death…"That was when Ronnie stepped out of the shadows. He looked miserable, but still forced a pained smile as if he'd been deeply hurt."Flint, I know my dad embarrassed you at dinner, and that must've been rough… But that doesn't mean you can say things like that about Hailey and me."There's nothing going on between us, and we just happened to run into each other on our way here to find you. How could you think so poorly of me?"To be honest, I tried to talk my

"Are you feeling soft again, Dad?"Dad was silent for a long time before he shook his head and let out a heavy sigh. "No. I saw him for who he was when he led the thugs to break down our door. If we'd let him in, the three of us would probably be dead by now."Mom wiped her eyes and took my hand. "You did the right thing, Flint. This world has changed, and we just need to survive."I felt a massive weight lift off my chest seeing Mom and Dad finally harden their hearts. In an apocalypse, kindness was the quickest way to get a death warrant.Again, the system chimed. "'Human Fishing' mission successfully completed! Calc

    I lit a cigarette and leaned out the window, shouting down to the street, "How does it feel, Uncle Garrett? It's more exciting than the foot massage parlor in Brimstone, isn't it?""Exciting my ass! Flint Wayne, you shameless little bast—ahhh!"Even now, Garrett's mouth was hopelessly filthy.I immediately jammed the descend button again and dropped the terrified Garrett back down like a human yo-yo, bouncing just above the heads of the zombie horde."Going down!"Coming up!"Wow! That zombie jumped pretty high and almost snatched your hairpiece!"Suddenly, a foul, sharp stench wafted up from Garrett's body and was carried into the window by the cold wind. I pinched my nose in disgust and clicked my tongue. "What's going on, Uncle Garrett? You were just making fun of me for wetting the bed when I was three and said it showed I'd never amount to anything, didn't you?"You're in your 50s, so why are you still wetting yourself midair?"Oh, I get it now. You're just giving me a
