Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

"Patient XIV"

Hugo read the words that were written on the board on the door. His forehead creased. He saw multiple locks attached from the outside. There were chains on the door as if the person on the inside was highly murderous.

Unlike the other two rooms earlier, this room gave off a different vibe. He could see that there were no table and chair on the inside. Just a bed that looked uncomfortable enough to sleep in.

If the other two were still considered decent earlier, the last one was inhumane. There were spots of blood on the wall, scattered around. There were small spots of digging in the wall that looked like it was carved out of bare hands.

"Who would do this horrible thing?" His mouth gaped.

Multiple expressions lingered in his mind as he looked at them. He felt disgusted knowing that someone was living in a place like this.

"I have heard them, saying that the people residing here show symptoms of something…" he recalled. He surveyed his eyes around the room but saw no one.

After a few minutes of waiting until the door from the bathroom opened. He carefully watched a woman who linked like she was the same age as him. She was wearing a white outfit with spots of blood on the bottom part.

There were visible wounds on her arm that still looked fresh as if she just made it recently while the other ones were already bandaged.

His eyes widened in shock when he saw how the woman slowly touched the wound on her arm as if she wasn't feeling anything. Blood appeared on her hands as she brought it closer to her nose, smelling them.

'What is she doing…' his breathing hitched when he saw how the woman slowly brought her fingers that were drenched by her own blood to her own lips, as if drinking them all.

The woman didn't look satisfied with what she was doing, rather she looked very happy to be able to taste some blood. But he didn't expect what he will witness more.

The woman brought her wounded arm closer to her mouth. She bit it off as if it was a slice of tasty meat that was left to devour. Satisfaction was written on her face as she chew on it. Blood spits out of her mouth and the more she chews, the lighter her face could get.

The woman's eyes bulged out when she realized what she was doing. She quickly brought her arms away from her face. She looked terrified at what she had done. That was the only time when she could feel a slight pain in her arms.

It was a burning sensation that was tutoring her for days already,

"Arghhhh!" She screamed out loud. She fell into her bed, whining in pain. Tears pooled her eyes. She tried punching her stomach to divert the pain, but it wouldn't go away.

Her eyes stared at the window in front of her. But just like any other day, she could see nothing but pure darkness.

Unknown to Hugo, the glass wall where he was looking right now was just a one-way glass.

"Can she see me?" His forehead creased when their eyes met. But the look on her face didn't change.

He tried waving his hands to see if the person inside could see him, but the woman didn't give any reaction.

"It seems like she can't see me…" he took a deep sigh. He wanted to help the woman so bad, but what can he do now that his body was still weak for him to be able to use his powers efficiently.

She quickly ducked down onto the floor to get something. In there, her hands reached for something. It was a black container with tablets inside.

The doctors who have been visiting her said that this would help ease the pain that she was feeling. And although she knew that there was more to it, she could only depend on this one in the meantime.

With her trembling hands, she opened the lid and drank one of the tablet. In just 5 minutes, the tablet quickly came into an effect. However, the woman who was in her bed looked in dazed.

She was looking at the ceiling as if there was something in there that looked interesting.

"Did she go nuts now?" His brows shot up.

Hugo was feeling a mixture of different emotions, but the most superior of them were curiosity and anger.

Curiosity at who the hell made this happen and anger for them. 'How could someone be evil enough to do this?'

His fist clenched. He was about to walk away when the woman in the bed quickly gets up. She sat on the floor and leaned against the wall. At first, Hugo thought that the woman was already in her right mind.

But it was different.

The woman began touching the carved-out wall with her hands. She scraped some of the concrete that was falling out and placed it against her mouth.

"What the fuck?" He cursed out loud when he saw the thing. He couldn't take what he was seeing. 'If only I can use my strength to open all of this up without any effort.' His breathing ragged.

He closed his eyes. He currently felt as if he was worthless, even if he has some power. But he knew that he can't just save these three prisoners out. He does not have any idea how would they react to humans, especially since it looked as if they were being experimented on.

"Is this Julius's doing too?" he asked himself. This just added fuel to his anger. "If this is really his doing, then I wouldn't forgive him," he muttered.

'I should get going now before they come back.' Tilting his head to the side, Hugo started to walk back to where he was. But before he could even take a few steps, multiple footsteps echoed in the whole corridor.

He looked around to see if there was a spot where he could hide, but it was already impossible since he was at the far end and he knew for sure that he would bump into them if he ever came back to his hiding spot earlier.

'A teleportation wouldn't hurt, right?' he hesitantly scratched the back of his head. He had no choice but to resort to this.

Before the people could even see him, Hugo held his hopes high. He teleported right through his room and just a few seconds after, the door of his room opened.

Verda ran towards him with worried laced in her eyes. "What happened to you, Hugo? Are you sure you are okay?" she anxiously asked.

Hugo slowly nodded his head. His world was spinning in his eyes and he couldn't help but took a seat on his bed. 'Damn, is this what will happen when I don't use my teleportation power for almost 2 weeks?' he chuckled.

It felt as if it was his first time using his powers again. It was actually refreshing, knowing that his body didn't give up. A satisfied smile rose up to his lips after knowing that he could still teleport properly.

"I am okay, mother." He answered when he opened his eyes and saw that Verda was looking at him.

Verda shook her head. "No. You need to rest." She firmly said when she saw that Hugo's whole face was turning red.

"What have you been doing this whole time that you looked very tired?" She scolded Hugo.

Hugo shrugged his shoulders. "I just walked around. My body must not be used to it yet," he answered simply. He knew for sure that his mother would scold him more for what he said, but that's the only reason he could say.

"I told you that you should rest for today and tomorrow! Why aren't you listening to me and your father!" Verda shook her head in disappointment. "The doctor reminded you that, and you're not even listening to him!"

"Sorry, Mother." He took a deep breath and stood up when he felt like he was already fine. "I will be more careful now." he smiled.

"Mother, I am curious about one thing." Hugo looked at his mother's eyes directly.

"What is it?"

"Whose hospital is this?" He asked because he knew for sure that someone mentioned this hospital to his mother that's why she considered this.

Hugo's question put a smile on Verda's lips. "You know Julius right? His boss offered us 50% off here!" She happily exclaimed.

"Julius's boss?" His forehead creased.

Verda nodded. "Yes. Sir Noah. He was kind enough to give us this room."

'I knew it…' Hugo sighed. "Does Sir Julius know that we are here?"

Verda nodded. "The two of them were the ones who assisted us when you were placed here. I just knew that time that their company owned this one." she chuckled remembering how shocked she was that time.

However, Hugo didn't look as if he was happy.

"Mother, I think it is time for us to cut our ties with them."
