Chapter 11 - Episode 3 (The Red Rider)

The man came in the train cabinet again and started walking towards me and I was just standing and looking at the boy, who can't even stand, his whole body was trembling, he was shaking with fear and still looking down, and mumbling, "...I...I can't save my mother...I...I am a loser..."

When the apocalypse just began and the train crashed, he was completely confident that he can be a superhero or more, which is normal at kid...but he took it too much seriously if everything became real. I didn't know what to say to him, I don't know myself.

The man came to me and he picked up the woman and said, "You can pick up that kid, he should be lighter."

I smiled with a sweat, I really doubt that I could because the body of the kid was shaking and what if he puts all his pressure? It will be hard, but I just sat in front of the kid and said, "Check the woman's breath. Is she alive or not."

The man started sweating...and I realised and said, "You are a businessman or an politician, aren't you?"

The man smiled with a sweat, "I know everything about money, but..."

Definitely a commerce guy. I sighed and said, "Hold her wrist, if it's still warm then she's alive. And then take the finger below her nose and check whether she's breathing or not."

The man did, and said, "Yeah, she's breathing and her wrist is warm."

I really ask, what's even the use of school if you forget everything what you learned after coming to college and moving to the career. But I had nothing to do with it, and I hold the kid's hand and said, "Everything is fine, let's go kid."

"N...No...mon...monsters would be everywhere... let's... let's stay here...safe."

The man sighed and I started sweating.

"Just pick up that kid, and let's leave already. Everyone is injured already and staying here and taking no care of the injuries would be worst."

It was the best idea I could think of. I started taking my arms towards the kid--

<"The new task starts right now! Monsters and zombies have joined the game!>

<"All the best! And, this task will go forever!">

And suddenly a monster appeared at the side of the kid, the man was scared and he immediately ran away shouting, "Bring that kid as fast as you can!!! I am taking my leave and will be at the station!!!"

The monster roared which scared the kid and he immediately ran and hide behind me. I looked in front...and the monster was straight in front of the closed doors to the other cabinets, just a meter far away from me.

"Hey...run away...kid."

But the kid was scared more, he can't run so I couldn't leave him either. The kid was hesitating to even move back, but I said it second time which could be the last time, "Run back...run back..."

The monster roared once again and moved his hands with the sharp claws and attacked--

Suddenly bullets were fired from behind, and the monster fell down on front of me and its blood covered my face.

My eyes widened for a second...but finally I smiled.

The Red Rider, the one who was watching at me running from the Players from the terrace had came back.

Although I couldn't recognise him, but the black suit guy looked at me seriously for a second.

"...You were the one, running everywhere and escaping from the Players all the time at the first task, weren't you?"

I had no idea what he meant, I didn't notice that he was watching me from the terrace and he also got an idea that I can't answer him.

"You may haven't saw me but you did great to save the Invaders." The black long coat man said.

But suddenly everyone heard a scream! The guy looked at me and I picked up the kid and said, "The first cabinet doors are opened, next to this."

The guy ran away immediately and I finally started leaving the room and moving to the first cabinet to finally leave the train.

All the passengers of the train were gathered all together, surrounded from the monsters and zombies, screaming with fear, shouting, but were hopeless.

"Where...Where is the Red Rider?!"

The monsters suddenly attacked but the Red Rider started firing, all the passengers sat down covering their ears and the firing continued and the monsters and zombies started being hunted.

I climb from the door while holding the kid with taking my all strength and after a minute of pull ups, I finally climbed and came out of the train.

I kept the kid aside and looked...and started sweating...all the girls were surrounding the Red Rider. Even the men and boys were thanking him and were grateful for him... which I think they should be.

The man ran to me and asked, "Are you fine?"

"Yeah, that guy came at the right time and everything was under control."

The Red Rider ignored the girls and came to me, and the kid ran to him and with tears thanked, "Thank you...big brother..."

And the man and I started sweating, and so The Red Rider did. He kept the kid aside, looked at me and said, "I didn't expect that you would come to save them, you already did your part of taking the Players aside. But yeah, I think...you are strong."

The man whistled, looking at the ceilings and I pointed towards him and said, "And he was helping to pull up everyone and taking out the passengers of the first two cabinets. Although he was scared when the monsters appeared and ran away, taking someone's mother."

"...what do you mean by mother? I thought the kid will be lighter than the woman so I thought to take her and you'll bring him."
