NTR Rogue in the Apocalypse-Chapter 206: Julia’s Old Apartment

John woke up early and decided to visit Julia. She was still in the infirmary and was still in recovery. The room was silent as he walked in, her eyes following his movements.

"John," she smiled when she saw him, "What’s up? Have you come to spend some time with me?"

"Something like that," he smiled back and sat next to her.

"Are you okay?" he asked, his eyes filled with concern.

"I’m feeling much better now," she answered, "Just a few more hours and I should be on my feet, though a few scars may remain."

"Good. Don’t worry about the scars. I’ll have someone take care of them."

"John..." She whispered, her words trailing off.

"What is it?"

"I know you have a lot to do, but I want you to spend some time with me," Julia replied. Her tone was shy, and her voice was barely audible.

John couldn’t but smile at his former teacher speaking like a bashful high school girl.

"Sure," he smiled as he nodded.

"Wait," Julia’s eyebrows were furrowed, her eyes gleaming, "Is it okay? Aren’t you supposed to be on a mission?"

"It’s okay," he replied, his tone light and carefree, "I can spend some time with you, so what do you want to do?"

"I’m bored out of my mind. We can start with a walk outside," she suggested.

"Sure," he agreed.

The two of them walked out of the base and took the winding path around the building, their pace leisurely.

"John, do you miss the old times?" Julia suddenly inquired.

John sighed, "Yes, sometimes."

"Me too, I miss the time when life was simple and we could walk freely without fearing for our lives," her voice was low and sombre and her gaze was fixed on a skyscraper.

"What are you looking at?"

"That’s the building I used to live in. My life with Martin was miserable, but he was barely home and I loved the view from up there. I miss it."

John chuckled, his tone low and amused, "Why don’t we hang out there, then?"

Julia’s eyes widened, "John, that building must be crawling with monsters. Besides, the elevator won’t work and it’d take us ages to reach the top floor."

John smirked, "Is that what you think?"

She blinked, "John?"

"Don’t worry. Follow me and you will know."

He extended a hand to Julia and she hesitated before placing her palm in his. John led her through the main gate and out of the base. They walked in silence, and they soon reached the abandoned city. The streets were empty and quiet, the air stale and rank.

Julia shivered as she walked alongside John. She had lived in this city for a long time, but this place had changed so much in the past few months. The streets were no longer safe and the air was filled with a pungent stench of death and decay.

"How far away are we from your old building?" John asked.

"Um... just about ten minutes," Julia replied.

"Then, let’s move," John commanded and Julia nodded and followed him.

John glanced around and was surprised at the lack of monster activity. It was as if the creatures knew he was coming and they were hiding in their dens.

"This is strange. It is too quiet," Julia said as if reading his thoughts.

"Don’t worry about a thing, Julia, just lead me to your building."

"Okay," she responded, her tone doubtful, her words slightly shaky, "This way."

John and Julia moved through the empty streets. They walked past empty storefronts and abandoned buildings. Their footsteps echoed loudly through the eerie silence.

They passed the familiar sight of a city market. It was deserted and lifeless and Julia spoke up when they turned around the corner, "There it is!" she pointed at a large tower looming over the landscape, its mirrored façade glinting in the sunlight.

"Let’s hurry," John urged, and she nodded and led him towards the building.

They were less than twenty meters away from the entrance when a massive creature emerged from the shadows and blocked their path.

Julia’s eyes widened, and her blood turned cold as the monster slowly walked towards them. It was covered in dark green scales and was over ten meters long. It had two massive, muscular front limbs and a long, sinuous tail that thrashed against the concrete.

"Shit, we’re dead," Julia muttered, her words barely escaping her quivering lips.

But before the monster could do anything, John picked her up in his arms and jumped. Julia gasped as the ground beneath her vanished and they flew into the air. The monster’s jaws snapped shut where she had been standing just a moment ago and the creature roared in fury and frustration.

Julia glanced down and noticed the creature was staring straight up at her. It raised one of its huge paws and she feared that was it, but then John muttered, "Shockwave," and the two of them were sent soaring upwards.

The monster’s eyes widened in shock. It had no idea how a human could fly.

It tried to chase after the flying humans, but the Shockwave’s momentum kept carrying John and Julia upwards at incredible speeds, and the creature soon fell behind.

Julia felt a chill run up her spine the higher they soared. The windows of the building blurred past her vision, their glass and metal frames reflecting her terrified expression.

The sky grew darker as they ascended into the clouds.

Julia’s heart thumped wildly. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to laugh or cry.

The monster’s angry roars soon faded away below and a few minutes later, the two of them landed gracefully on a large terrace.

"We’re here," John announced with a wide grin.

Julia’s eyes were wide with terror.

"That was amazing!" she gasped, her words breathless, her voice barely audible.

"This is the top floor," she glanced around and pointed at a penthouse apartment, "That’s my former residence."

John led the way and the two of them entered the luxurious home.
