Chapter 39 - Aliens? Oh, all mighty lord save me.

Jaxon saw the miserable appearance of the delivery boy, whom he met for the first time just a few hours ago, but he seems to be strong enough to survive this but it wouldn't be for long as he seems to die at any moment. As it was even hard for them till this, they had a hard time defending themselves from these aliens. They had to make lots of strong decisions to survive here up to this point but they regret none of that.

The group delivery boy who came with seems to be weak even though they have guns, they need to dominate here and lead this group, get rid of the weak and dying and get the hell out of here. Jaxon looks at the guy holding the gun he can't seem to remember who he is but he seems familiar as if he saw him before somewhere but he couldn't pin point where?

"Ayo, who the fuck you are? I never seen your ass 'round here before but you still kinda feel familiar?" Jaxon look with focused not only on but others behind this man as street taught him that mother fuckers would be hiding in the back of the group with some real shit that you gotta look out for.

"You don't know but I do, shady Jaxon of the tapping cross road." Steve said as he checked out Jaxon and his partner Johnson both of them started from low street thieves to get here in decades but that too with the connection not with the hard work.

"You both seem to look completely fine as if you guys found a safe haven in this hell hole, why don't you show us your place as a guest has arrived here with quite a journey." Carlo said as walked in the front of the group with a smile on his face while pointing his gun at Johnson.

"I would like to welcome you on my turf but I still haven't caught both of your names yet, dawg? And pointing a gun would heat up this shitty place, you do not want to see this place catch fire, dawg." Jaxon as look into Carlo's eyes he can tell from one look that this asshole is going to become a pain in the arse to him, as he has the same glint in his eyes as him.

"I am Carlo and all of these people are my man." Carlo said with arrogance as he doesn't want to let them think they can be intimidated by such low level thugs like them.

"Including the bitches following behind your ass?" Jaxon said with a mocking tone and surprise look in his eyes as he can see that these girls are teenagers not old enough to join such a gang.

"That's none of your business. You don't want to see me pulling this trigger as it is still a lot hungrier." Carlo said with a sour tone and urgency in his voice as they can still hear the sound of the monster cries all around them.

"Aright… aright… have some chill dawg. We need to be sure that none of you are shapeshifting aliens or else everyone would be dead." Jaxon said as he looks at everyone and his lands on Noah and James, their injuries seem worse but they still seem to be holding up. Carlo looks behind himself to see who Jaxon is looking at because he doesn't know about shapeshifting monsters yet as none of them saw one.

"You encounter a shapeshifting monster here?" Noah asks with fear and hesitation as this place starts to feel more unsafe than outside after hearing about shapeshifting monsters. As it would be with them and they wouldn't even know it, others also start to look at one another as one standing are around them is real human not monster in disguise but everyone paid most attention to Jaxon and Johnson as they might be the shapeshifting monster instead and trying to create doubt and suspicion among them to lure them and kill them.

"Not really tho', if we didn't…I wouldn't be seeing your white ass here. I just thought it might exist as we saw few people turned into these alien monsters." Jaxon said as he still vividly remembers how it all started and one their man turned into one of this alien creature. Even though he told the truth none of them believe him now as there's high chances of him being the shapeshifting monster who devoured this person's real body and using his memory to manipulate them.

"Your name is Noah, right? You are going to walk in front of the group and follow behind them." Carlo said as they need meat shield case of unforeseen circumstances, he doesn't trust this two men that suddenly just appeared right in front of them and if they attack them he would still have chance of getting the fuck out of here as Noah and Steve would be in the front of the group and this two men seems to know Noah that also raised suspicions among everyone about him. 

Jaxon and Johnson start walking back to where they just came out from, the start walking inside the corridor with help of torch light everyone had easy time walking but it was also become hard ignore corpses of people lying on the ground to ignore the stench of rotting corpse filed the air as deeper the went inside. 

"How far is your hiding spot?" Steve asked with anger seeping out of his voice as it seems both of this two men leading them inside where a lot of people died as if they are going to feed them to this monster hiding in the shadows.

"I swear on my mama's name that we really were hiding inside one of these offices but when aliens attack a lot of people try to escape from this building and get killed by them instead. We ain't luring you to any of these aliens." Jaxon said as sweat started to drop from his forehead as even though he and Johnson came out through this same corridor but because they couldn't see anything able to walk through this rotting corpse flesh and blood smell but now their eyes are open wide in fear as their legs start to shack as they watch more and more dead bodies lying inside corridor as devil from hell came kill this people as how horribly they died.

Light only reached within a few meters after that darkness devoured everything; they can't think of how these two men can walk out without getting a single stain of their clothes. Their footsteps sound echoed in this empty corridor but still this eerie presence looms over their mind, metallic scent of blood like enchanting devil fingers start to allure them for a few seconds. This subtle change got unnoticed by the most except for the few, other thoughts this is just psychological changes human being went through to get adjust to their surrounding and they won't become mad from crushing reality but Noah and Yui didn't thought the same as they this bad feeling rising up inside them, that something really bad is going on here. Out of every living being in this big office only two people able to survive in itself is absurd.

"It was you… it was you who killed them, right?" With fear and hesitation in his heart Noah said while looking at the back of two men walking in front inside this hellish corridor.

Everyone stopped on their track, it doesn't matter who said this as they laid on the man on whom this remark and accusation is directed towards, a large figure of Jaxon stopped and turned around with subtle fear, anger and irritation. As being accused of killing one's own man, any such time and space was creating tense moments as fight broke at a given moment. Jaxon looked deep into Noah's eyes, "Why would I kill my man dawg, do I look like a madman to you that would enjoy killing and torturing his own men like this and the one who works for me." 

As they start arguing Steve eyes fall on to the corpse lying on the corridor as blood and muscle tissues start to spread up from the floor and start to spread across walls like small little roots.

RUN!!!

Steve shouted out loudly as body sprinted towards the exit they came from; he didn't wait for the others to come up or take the torch light with him as saving his own life was his first priority. Others were a little late to react as Steve pushed them aside as he ran towards the exit, to their horror before they could react or run. Blood vessels sealed the corridor completely like a spider web, it looks disgusting, repulsive and terrifying to look at this blood and flesh spider web made from the corpse lying on the floor.

Now, only few blood vessels and flesh is left on the corpse attached to their skeleton, it feels like soon enough even the bones will be robbed from these dead people. The air became heavy and pressure on their mind increased on everyone, they could feel it everyone equal can feel this invisible power pressing down their spirit and will. 

"Now, what you gonna say nugget delivery boy. That I somehow magically did all this shit and went to everyone." Jaxon was scared and angry in his life he never had such fear before not even when he got shot three times in the chest during gang violence in hood. But he starts to feel fear getting stronger and stronger, taking over his mind taking deep root inside him and there's nothing he could do to stop this.

"You think, I'm with this cruel mother fucking aliens partnered up or some shit. Trying to help them rule over the world. I'm telling you this, with my own hands I'll behead this aliens fuckers head from their neck when I get strength and weapon to kill them. May the lord up above in the sky give me his blessings and courage to fight these outer space invaders.
