Vampire God in the Apocalypse

The sharp pointy blades on the bracelet shot into the floor and a thin black rope held it. Now he doesn't know where the rope came from as the bracelet was too small to accomodate it, but anything goes in this apocalypse.

He used his spirit energy to withdraw it from the ground and he breathed a sigh of relief as he looked around at the others who were not any better than him.

Most of them were sitting on the floor while resting thair backs on the trees. Chapman in particular laid on the bare ground while spreading his arms and legs freely.

The only one still standing was Laurence.

"You all shouldn't get too comfortable. Another monster might come for us." He warned while he jumped up a tree to scout.

They didn't even get to rest for five minutes as Laurence dragged them to continue so that the entire outer region will be completed.

After they finished halfway they were walking back to the camp as they didn't bring with them any bikes or trucks, after sll, they didn't want to make noise and attract monsters.

...

Getting back to the camp Dexter was the first to zoom off. He didn't want to disturb the cooking department and rushed into his room before pulling out three bags of peanuts... and then he ate.

'Hunger is a bad thing.' Dexter thought as he finished the three packs.

He was still hungry so he headed to the canteen where Laurence and the others were.

Dexter just walked to the counter where a lady gave out meals. Seeing him coming, the lady smiled beautifully.

"I'm assuming you want the usuals." She said with a smile.

"I'm not going to be picky, just give me whatever is available."

"Nonsense. Without you and the other teams, we wouldn't even be alive today. You're allowed to have anything." She said again, not knowing that she made a big mistake by doing that.

"Yeah. You can have anything."

"You're so humble and kind, sir."

"Please, take what you want Mr Dexter."

Other people who were around also chimed in and Dexter smiled.

"Ok. Then I won't be humble." Dexter said to her and he then asked, "What's available?"

"There's rice, eggs, wheat..."

"Just stop there." Dexter said with a smile. "Give me the rice, add vegetable sauce if there is."

The lady smiled as she began to get his dish ready.

"Here you go." She gave him the food and he raised a brow.

"No, I'm not done ordering. There's eggs, give me one, no two. Yeah, give me three colas... yeah, also put a side dish, maybe cucumber.. yes, good, good..."

The people around thought that Dexter was joking and he was probably ordering for the rest of his friends too.

"Thanks." He said as he took the tray from the lady who just had a tranquil expression, he then walked back to his table.

"Who's going to eat all these? We already ate." Chapman said and Dexter looked at him.

"Sorry, it's mine only."

The rest of the team who were all resting looked at Dexter weirdly as if he was joking. There was four bowls of different dishes and even side dishes and Dexter is saying it is all his.

"You... you can't possibly eat all that." Chapman sounded scared.

"Hehe. Watch me." Dexter said as he started with the rice.

...

Everyone inside the canteen stared wide eyes at Dexter who just finished emptying the fourth bowl of food without any problem and he stretched and drank a whole bottle of water before letting out a deep breath.

"He... he really finished it."

"Is his stomach a tank."

"No that's not how to say it. It's, 'His tank has a stomach'."

"Haha. I think you said that backwards."

"Sorry, his stomach has a tank. Can't I make mistakes."

The entire canteen fell into chaos while Dexter picked his teeth, not caring about the chaos that he caused.

"Damn. You're famous now, eating four bowls of food in ten minutes." Laurence smirked.

"Ignore them, let's talk about the other problem." Dexter sat up.

Freddy was also at the counter and he walked towards their table after taking a bowl of food. He sat down and just began to eat silently, making everyone turn to him.

"I see you guys are all good." He said and the others just shrugged him off.

"So, the culprit uses an axe. But there are some marks that didn't go deep enough." Leo said. "Plus, they usually do their stuff at night so night is the best time to catch them."

"Well, we know nothing else apart from that so we'll just try our luck." Dexter said and they concluded their eating session.

...

Dexter moved to the back of a building where he normally goes to sit and this time, he saw a young woman with Lily.

"Her mom?" Dexter thought.

The woman was very young looking with short brown hair unlike her daughter's black hair.

The woman was shocked to see Dexter as everyone now knows about him in the camp, the thunder man.

"T... thunder man?" The woman stammered as she met gazes with him.

"Hm? Who is this thunder man?" Dexter asked and the woman immediately came out of her daze.

"Sorry if my daughter have been a trouble to you." She bowed and Dexter then raised a brow.

"You're her mother?"

She nodded.

"She's a good kid. I've been showing her some moves. You can join if you want." Dexter said, but he knew it was unlikely.

"Oh, no. I'm in cooking department. Besides, Lily seems to like be liking with you for some reason." Ahe said and Dexter's mind went to ome thing.

'Too much cola?'

After that brief conversation with Lily's mom, Dexter found out that her husband died during the tiran impact.

Although it didn't affect him much, he knew how it would feel to loose someone.

He trained Lily till nightfall and then she told him about how she beat up some boys who wanted her cola.

"Very good. Don't allow anyone bully you, okay? If you can't handle them, I'll slap the sh... I mean I'll beat them." Dexter smiled while patting her head.

*Midnight*

Dexter, Leo, and Laurence's team stayed at a distance from the wood collection point, watching, waiting patiently.

And soon something happened.
