Chapter 85
2 weeks later.
Washington.
The Capitol's underground meeting room.
In the middle of the dark room, stands were arranged in a circle, behind which, due to the lighting, it seemed that only dark silhouettes were standing.
- Gentlemen, we have problems, - said one of those present.
- Problems?! These aren't fucking problems, this is a disaster! - another couldn't help but say. - Not only did the "New Era" plan fail because of a Russian spy, but these creatures also managed to get a vaccine for themselves and their allies. Remind me how everything was planned from the start?!
- John, we knew from the start that things couldn't go as smoothly as expected. - They tried to calm the man, who was bursting with anger.
- It couldn't have gone so rosy? Okay, I agree with that, but why the hell, besides us, the vaccine ended up on the territory of 15 countries! The whole plan was to infect the rest of the world, and then calmly expand the territories. This would have solved not only the problem of overpopulation, but also allowed the whole world to be united under one flag! And now not only has this plan gone to hell, but now an incomprehensible parody of Captain Marvel has popped up! FIFTY THOUSAND TONS OF GOLD!!! The whole world believed that this amount of gold was the world's reserve, and now it's all stolen by one whore! And as if that weren't enough, then she and some bastard parodying Thor left us without weapons. Damn it, as soon as the Russians cope with clearing their territories of zombies, they will simply destroy us without the ability to fight back!
- We already know all this very well, and if you, John, are only capable of panicking, then perhaps we should reconsider the need for your presence among us.
- No-no-no, I am capable of being cold-blooded, you just understand, this situation makes me very angry, - a certain John stammered in fear, fully aware that it was impossible to leave this group alive, everyone present knew too much information that was classified even from the president.
- However, he is right about one thing. Now it is only a matter of time before the Russians destroy us. We should think of an evacuation plan, including for the majority of the American population, in order to avoid incest and subsequent degradation. In addition, we will not have to start from zero, and therefore if we act quickly, then taking with us all the necessary resources, we can try to recruit a military… - the dark figure's speech was suddenly interrupted by a call.
- Hello... WHAT DID THEY DO?! ... How... HOW THE HELL IS THIS POSSIBLE! - the man who had recently been talking about the need not to panic smashed his phone on the ground.
- What happened, chief? - one of those present immediately asked.
- Millions of tons of rare earth metal, billions of barrels of oil, everything that was in the reserves, were plundered by these two. - the voice of the so-called leader sounded muffled.
"Will it affect us that much now?" John asked, puzzled.
- IDIOT! Without resources we won't be able to recover quickly!
- I'm afraid America's well-being will no longer be your problem. - Suddenly a female voice was heard from the middle of the hall. - Takashi, do what you wanted and let's go back.
"Yes, yes," the Japanese schoolboy answered boredly, and then with one movement he released a purple lightning bolt at each person behind the podium.
"I still can't believe you managed to convince me to spend two whole weeks to find these bastards," I said, grimacing slightly from the smell of burnt flesh.
- Really? And it seemed to me that you had fun robbing America's warehouses.
- Well, maybe just a little bit, - I reluctantly admitted. - And you don't need me to tell you about looting warehouses, I've snatched quite a bit for my inventory myself.
- And I don't argue, fortunately everyone moved to the island last week, and with everything I took, we will be able to settle in quickly and efficiently. - the guy said with a satisfied smile.
- Okay, let's go back. You actually promised me rune training, but now it turns out that only I'm helping you. This is not right, you know.
- You shouldn't have tried to play the role of a goddess and you could have started training a long time ago.
- Oh, shut up, homegrown Thor. - I grabbed the guy by the shoulder and teleported us to a small temple, which was located on a small island, chosen by the survivors who followed Takagi Soichiro.
- Go see your crush, - I chased away Takashi, who had suspiciously quickly gotten along with Saya, while I lazily headed to the temple, on the roof of which Oz was waiting for me.
"It will be done, your majesty," the guy answered, bowing playfully.
"By the way, I'll be coming tomorrow evening to start classes," Takashi called after me before heading off towards the camp.
- Welcome back, my lady, - Oz landed on my shoulder.
- Hello O----oz. - I greeted the crow, yawning sweetly, these two weeks have exhausted me quite a bit.
- Is Saeko home?
- Yes, she is cooking dinner now.
- Heh, if she weren't mortal, she would have seduced me at any moment. - I grinned, entering the temple.
- I'm glad you're sensible enough in this regard.
- Oz, I may not be the smartest, but I dare to hope that I'm not stupid. I am well aware that the moment I became ageless, I was doomed to see the people close to me wither away from old age. Even if I find a way to give them eternal youth, then Lisa herself will most likely refuse, and it's not a fact that Jean will agree.
- And I will repeat myself again. I am glad that you realize this already now.
So, talking with Oz, we went into the kitchen, which was in the residential part of the temple. Honestly, it's nice that the first thing the survivors did was dedicate the local temple to me and ennoble it.
- Hi Saeko. What's for dinner?
- Amy? Welcome back. - The girl who was cooking in an apron, under which she had only underwear, greeted me with a smile.
"Listen, Saeko, don't you think you should wear a little more clothes?" I asked, trying not to look at the girl's seductive butt and hips.
- No one comes here except you and Oz, so I don't see any problems. - the girl shrugged. - By the way, I just finished cooking.
Taking the pot off the fire, Saeko carried it to the table. When she opened the lid, the delicious smell of rabbit stew with potatoes hit my nose.
"It smells amazing," I said, swallowing the saliva that was quickly starting to accumulate.
"Thank you," the girl accepted the compliment with a smile.
Today, I think I have finished everything that could require me to take active actions in this world, now all that is left for me to do is to calmly train until I decide that it is time to return to my home world.
