Speed Is King Chapter 68

“Kara Rose. Right, I’ll be right there.” Elliot said grimly.

He rembered Kara Rose. Of course he did.

In the course of the first horrific week where more than 90 percent of humanity’s survivors would perish in a myriad of horrible ways, there were still so human groups which had managed to thrive.

Kara Rose’s group was one of those groups.

Hers was a group of vicious, cunning and absolutely rciless teenagers who had sohow gotten their hands on powerful weapons and several armored vehicles that could even fight off several of the weaker alien beasts.

They were one of the stronger powers in Western Arica and Kara Rose had proven herself over and over again to be a ruthless leader willing to kill at the drop of a hat, as well as an extrely shrewd and capable one, as proven by how powerful her gang beca in six short months.

Elliot had no idea where such a savage bunch of teenagers could have sprouted from, but he sure as hell made sure he avoided them during the first iteration.

His only scuffle with her Red Eyed Demon Gang won him the Agera II which he used to win a unique One on One Speed Challenge with an alien called Speed Devil, thereby allowing him to pick his second Diamond Sponsor: Monkey King.

Elliot intended to make sure that she didn’t have another chance to “influence” his decisions anymore.

“She doesn’t have a monopoly on savagery.” Elliot told himself grimly as his heart settled on the only course of action his mind offered him.

Murder.

He’ll kill the little bitch before she could grow strong and terrorize the entire Western Arica with her gang.

As he sprang out of the hole and into the cool night once again, he imdiately saw Kara Rose sitting next to Calia, smiling nervously as Calia chattered on to try and make her feel better.

Kara Rose turned to look at with an expression of utmost horror. “Mo-monster!” She finally managed to blurt out while pointing a trembling finger at .

“Oh, that’s Elliot, my savior! Don’t worry! He’s kind and very strong! All the big beasts obey him, he’ll keep us safe!” Calia imdiately said to Kara.

Elliot stepped forward and sent down an intense gaze at Kara. His two-ter tall Primal Feline Warrior fra towered above both girls and imdiately created an extrely chilling atmosphere.

Elliot stared at Kara and scrutinized her from head to toe. Strangely, there was none of the bloodthirst and ruthless savagery that Kara Rose was so renowned for in the previous iteration.

All he could see was a trembling and terrified little girl who’s about to lose her bladder control under his fearso and intense gaze. And most importantly, his sixth sense and instincts were telling him that there was nothing more to the girl beyond what he was already seeing.

“Interesting. If she wasn’t a psycho to begin with, then she must have beco a psycho soti this week.” Elliot thought to himself. “And if she’s with , then she’ll probably not et with whatever event that caused her to be a complete psycho. I’ll be able to prevent the Red Eyed Demon Gang from forming simply by keeping her with .”

“Hey, Elliot, can you please stop doing that? You’re scaring her!” Calia got up and stepped in between Elliot and Kara to break the intense stare that Elliot was giving the poor girl.

“Ah? Sorry! I didn’t realize I was staring.” Elliot imdiately reverted to human form and apologized to Calia and Kara with an apologetic smile. “Hi Kara, I’m Elliot. Glad you made it.”

“H-Hi Elliot. Th-thank you for taking in.” Kara replied rather breathlessly and nervously.

Elliot smiled warmly at her and gestured to Brock. “This is Brock, the most senior beast under my command. He will keep you safe. Hey Brock, co over and say hi!”

“Ah, another potential mate!” Brock exclaid happily.

“I think I saw so spider eggs back in the hole that would make really good spider partners for you’¦” Elliot’s eyes narrowed and began to glint dangerously.

“AHAHAHA! Not mate! A potential helper! Very good! Very good!” Brock said loudly. “Co, co on up and sit on my back!” Brock imdiately bent down low to allow the girls to climb on to his back.

“Co on!” Calia clambered up Brock’s giant paw and onto his back bravely even though she still felt a little scared of him.

Following Calia closely, Kara got onto Brock’s back without difficulty as well.

Even though her ruthlessness was absent, her athleticism and strength were there.

She would make a fine addition to the team that he was unintentionally making.

“Having a team is pretty good.” Elliot thought to himself. “In fact, I should think bigger and make a real group that could be a powerhouse in this region. Not so big that it would beco political and full of drama. But definitely big enough to man a mobile fortress and survive the whole year.”

The more he thought about it, the better it seed to him.

Because he had spent almost the entire year as a solo player in the previous iteration, he was expecting to do the sa thing again in the second iteration.

But if fate was sending him all these strong characters from the previous iteration, then he would be a fool to simply reject the possibility of being a survivor overlord.

“Plus, with more people. I would be able to station them around the places where the stronger Resource Boxes and Cars would drop, and thus allowing to beco much stronger much faster. Better skills, better pills, better weapons, better cars, better everything!”

“And it will allow to better execute my plan to give the damned aliens a first race they will never forget!” Elliot’s eyes burned with righteous anger as he turned back into his Primal Feline Warrior form and went off in search for a place to safely spend the night.
