Chapter 4
"Should we go home?" Erika asked with a pale face.
"Yes, but we should take some food from the supermarket, in case of emergency." Tyler had always been cautious and preferred not to take any chances.
Ring Ring
Erika's cell phone rang, after answering she heard her father's voice.
"Eri, where are we at your school but the guard does not let me in" by his voice you could see that he was anxious and worried.
Richard and Erika's father is named Albert and he works for a pharmaceutical company he has a good salary, at least much better than Sofia's.
"Your mother, Sofia and I are outside your school, we plan to spend these turbulent times in your grandparents' lake cabin." After knowing it was his father Erika had already put the cellphone on speaker so Richard and Tyler could hear what Albert said.
"Dad, we're in the supermarket, Tyler's idea of taking some food in case of emergency." Richard took Erika's cell phone and spoke with Albert.
"Very good idea, we will be there in a short time." From the speaker you could hear the voice of their mothers sighing in relief.
"Dad, do not forget to bring my PC and the laptop." Taking her cell phone again Erika asks her father in an urgent way.
"!! YOU!, Chica, we are in desperate moments and that's what you think about?" His father's angry voice could be heard.
"Mr. Robert, please bring them the truth is that they are very important, when I get here we will explain." Tyler intervened. He did not want to waste time.
"It's fine, but you better have a good reason." After Tyler's intervention, Albert seemed to have calmed down a bit.
After hanging they did not waste a moment and filled 2 shopping trolleys, before a black van parked in front of the store.
They immediately took the trolleys and deposited everything in the back and climbed without losing time, from the back of the truck they could see perfectly the city while they left everything was in a total disorder.
Everything was totally different from when I went to work, in just 2 hours the situation in the city had changed a lot, when trying to leave the city Tyler could see a large line of cars also trying to leave.
Most of them were going to a larger city in search of some security, Mr. Albert's truck turned in a little-traveled corner on an uncultivated road in the direction of the forest.
After driving for about half an hour, the truck was parked in front of a cabin somewhat deteriorated but still in good condition.
Albert instructed Tyler, Richard, and Erika to get everything out of the truck and into the cabin while his wife and Sofia cleaned the cabin.
Tyler was shocked by the sight of the cabin, although a little worn the cabin has two floors,
With a somewhat ancient style of beauty and an aura of calm and tranquility, together with nature and the panoramic view of the lake from the patio, it was definitely a place where you would want to spend your vacations. According to Richard, his grandparents spent all their savings to buy it.
"I wish I could have a cabin like
"Well, Dad said he was going to give it to Erika and me when we make a family" Richard, who was at his side commented with a smile on his face something sweaty.
Tyler was surprised, but he thought for a moment and remembered that Albert and Maria (mother of Richard and Erika) did not really enjoy being in nature. If it were not because they needed a place with few people, they would not have come to the cabin.
After cleaning the cabin and getting everything out of the truck, everyone gathered in the living room. Sofia, Maria and Erika were sitting on a large, comfortable sofa, while Tyler and Richard were in two armchairs on either side of the sofa, Albert was standing in the middle.
"Well, now can you tell me why they did not bring those PCs that only took up s.p.a.ce in the truck?" Albert asked with a dark face, you could see that he would not let the matter go unless he received a good explanation.
"Actually Erika and I received the awakening," Richard said from the side.
"!!What?!!" The three were very surprised, although they had heard of the so-called awakening they had never thought that any of them would receive the awakening, much less two.
After waiting for them to calm down a bit Tyler said: "Erika's ability has to do with computers and technology, and I was thinking about seeing the scope of her ability"
After listening to Tyler they could understand the situation.
Albert looked at his son with bright eyes "what is your son ability?"
Hearing his father's question, Richard just raised his hand and created some sparks.
"Hahahaha" seeing such an exhibition Albert laughed with delight. "Well, now we have another form of defense against those awakened"
"Another way?" Tyler asked with doubt.
Upon hearing Tyler's question, Albert walked to the fireplace and looked in an elongated compartment above the fireplace and took out a sniper rifle, a shotgun and a gun and placed them on a small table in front of everyone.
Tyler was so surprised that it seemed that his eyes were going to come out, after all this is not the United States it was legal to have a weapon, all of South America has a strict control of weapons, much less you are of high power.
Looking around he realized that only he and his mother were shocked, it seems that it was not a hasty decision to come here, but it was well planned.
"Well, we already know that the world is not safe now and that we have to protect ourselves from any situation, the boys brought enough food for 20 days if we distributed them in the six, but we have no way of communicating with the outside, signal, we have electricity thanks to it generator but it will not last 20 days. " Albert said with a worried face since without electricity and signal he would not know when things have settled down.
Hearing Albert express his concern, the rest fell silent trying to find a solution.
While everyone thought of a solution Erika's eyes flashed with a touch of blue and said: "The problem of electricity is easily solved I can easily make a wind generator with any sc.r.a.p I have even make the generator run on water, as soon as to the signal I can make an antenna with the PC parts and some other things, we will have electricity, signal and internet. Is there any other problem? "
The room was completely silent.
"Run the generator with water, do you mean it?" Tyler asked incredulously.
"Of course, there was a guy who operated a car with water, why could not he?" Erika said proudly.
With bright eyes Tyler said, "See, I told you that your ability was not as simple as you said, but does not that mean that your ability also has to do with mechanics?" Tyler expressed his doubt after all the generator is not a computer or an appliance.
"I do not know, I just know that if it has to do with energy and technology, I can fix it" Erika said with some doubt.
"Well, that does not matter now, what matters now is that it can be considered a solved problem, now Maria, Sofia, help Erika build the antenna and modify the generator, Tyler, Richard, take a gun and let's go." Albert said as he took the shotgun.
"I want the rifle"
"I want the rifle"
They said Richard and Tyler at the same time.
"Well, let's silicon it with a rock paper or scissors" said Tyler while looking at Richard, they have been friends since they were very young because their tastes were very similar so they have invented the stone paper or scissors system to decide the winner, there was even a time They played it to see who invited the girl they liked to go out.
"Good" Richard agreed immediately.
"Paper-stone-or scissors" Tyler had a pair of scissors while Richard played a role.
"d.a.m.n it, you've always been lucky. You also beat me when we were going to invite Janet out," Richard complained.
"Do you still not overcome it? And how do you consider that lucky? I reject in front of the whole cla.s.s, it was very humiliating and shameful." Tyler said as they rolled their eyes.
"Come on, if I had been I sure would have agreed to go out with me" said Richard with a smile.
"Yes, of course," said Tyler disdainfully.
"Stop wasting time and come," said Albert, exasperated and impatient.
"All right"
