Chapter 190: Fifty Clones

Jimmy cloned five alien snakes in total. He didn’t know what their species was officially named, he couldn’t guess in a million years, but he did have a rough idea of what they were capable of. They could kill humans without a doubt, so he was hoping they would survive the dangers of the river first, and then get to killing humans.

They were great tools, tools that should keep the enemy busy enough for him to build a massive advantage against them. For him and his tribe, time was the greatest tool of all, because if he had enough time, then he wouldn’t be nervous even if the entire world got together and challenged him. Cloning was a powerful advantage.

“God that was tiring,” He grunted. “You’re lucky that you’re only dealing with Compies, JJ. Those snakes are so alien, that they have a single brain lobe that spreads out into thousands of tiny lobes. Absolute mayhem.”

“Lobe…” JJ pondered, “You mean the brain chunks? Yeah, that sounds like a headache.”

“Those fuckers probably go through seven headaches all together, I don’t fucking know.” He held his head.

Afterwards, he walked close to the container where JJ was working, and asked, “How much mana do you have left?”

“Hmm… I can get you seven more Compies, no problem.” JJ answered, “I hope that’s enough.”

“Of course it is!” He said, “You’ll be giving me fifteen of them, that I otherwise wouldn’t have gotten. Fifteen Compies can tear through caveman better than you’d expect.”

JJ smiled. He was happy that his friend was satisfied with the limited help he was providing. JJ felt that he was under-performing, because on other occasions, he had saved Jimmy’s life, or helped him evade certain death, really, so taming fifteen clones didn’t seem as great of a task to him.

“I’d refill your mana, but my powers are limited in this body.” JJ added, “Likewise, I can’t risk letting go of the body right now, because it’s costly to re-possess it.”

“Hey man, don’t worry,” He said, “You did plenty. I’d be dead if it wasn’t for you.”

Anyway, Jimmy then cloned another Compy for JJ to work on, and then cloned one of those white-furred, alien gorillas on container one. He planned to tame five of those, because he was told that they were effective in battle.

Even if they weren’t effective, each gorilla had a large mouth in its stomach. It was horrifying, and this was what he depended on. In rough situations, he wanted to have the chance to scare the enemies, at least to the point where they lose their focus, and become that much easier to kill.

Taming these gorillas wasn’t expensive, since they weren’t exactly smart, so he could afford to add five of them into his army today.

Twenty minutes later, he tamed five of them, and led them all into the tunnel past the automatic doors. They were cooperative with the set of other odd creatures in there, as expected. The gorillas also started humping one another, which he had also expected.

“They’ll die soon,” He chuckled, “Guess I should let them have their fun.”

Once he went back inside the cloning room, he was reminded that JJ was done with the cloning. He cloned fifteen Compies in total, and had already led them towards the long tunnel. He was getting better at using his new magical abilities, so somewhere along the line he learned to be more efficient. He was ahead of Jimmy, technically.

“Nice,” He nodded, “I need you for one last thing, if you don’t mind?”

“Sure,” JJ nodded.

“The snakes are slow, it’s gonna take a while to get them past the stairs, and out of the bunker, so do you mind helping them?” He asked, “By help, I mean lead them towards the stairs, and make sure they keep climbing upwards. They need a little bit of a headstart if we’re gonna get them out of here today.”

“I can do that,” JJ said, “I don’t feel great about walking up there naked, though. What if I run into your girlfriends?”

“I’ll catch up with you before you make it to the top, don’t worry.” He said, “In fact, take a Compy with you, and ride it, because those stairs are a bitch. My knees still hurt a little.”

JJ agreed, and walked through the automatic door. He was nervous about facing the world as a man, a naked man worst of all, but he pushed through.

“I haven’t been socially anxious in hundreds of years,” JJ said to himself, “How the hell did my anxiety follow me from my old body to this one? Maddening.”

Despite such personal challenges, he still soldiered through. He climbed on top of a Compy clone, and started leading the five alien snakes towards the stairs. His dick and balls were slapping on the clone’s back every time the clone took a step, and he was not a fan of that, but there wasn’t anything he could do about it.

“This body is so… well endowed.” He spoke to himself.

The snakes didn’t need much guidance, they followed him everywhere, because they mistook him as their master. In fact, it took a lot more effort to keep the apes, and the rest of the Compies from following him. He had to yell at them a few times, and they eventually understood.

The snakes had a sort of a privilege. They were slow, yes, but Jimmy also wanted to make sure that they didn’t get stressed out as they climbed up the thousand-foot long staircase. The snakes weren’t as docile compared to the rest of the clones, so he wanted to make sure that they didn’t attack as a result of being stressed out.

If the clones started fighting one another, there would be no easy way to stop them, other than to kill all of them. He could not afford to waste a day’s worth of clones like that.

Back in the cloning room, Jimmy tamed a total of twenty-five Compy clones. This was a lot, especially considering that he spent some mana on those ten other clones of snakes and apes, but he came down here with a full mana pool. Not to mention, he evolved his abilities last night when he ejaculated.

Jimmy didn’t have to push his abilities to the limit to evolve his abilities, he could just have sex with his girlfriends, which was a much greater alternative all around.

Anyway, in total, and with JJ’s help, the tribe now had fifty clones to fight for them! This was a massive improvement compared to the previous batch of clones he made, and if he was given the chance to tame more clones tomorrow, then he’ll have a great advantage over the enemy, even if the enemy army crossed a total of five-hundred men! He was sure that the clones would be able to make a great dent against the enemy brigades.

Five snakes were to be transferred to the river, yes, but the forty Compies, and five apes were more than enough to tear through the flesh of the men who wished his tribe harm!

Once he was done cloning them, he started walking the clones towards the edge of the bunker, or the stairs.

Jimmy looked at the many small rooms spread across one of the bunker walls, and was irritated that he wasn’t given the chance to explore them yet. Terrence had insisted that the rest of the bunker wasn’t worth exploring, but he didn’t want to take his word for it. What could be useless to an alien, could help him immensely.

“Soon…” He whispered to himself.

Eventually, he caught up with JJ. It didn’t take much walking to catch up with him, because he was only over four-hundred feet up the staircase, not even half way there, as the snakes were slow. Snakes weren’t meant to climb stairs, and the only reason they could climb the stairs at all, was because their bodies were thick, so they slithered above the edges of the stairs, at the expense of tiring themselves out immensely.

“This is gonna take a while,” JJ said, after he saw Jimmy.

“Yeah, no kidding. Can you get the snakes to scooch to the side of the staircase?” He asked. “I don’t want to stress them out, but it would be more efficient if we got the Compies and Apes up there first.”

“I can give it a shot,” JJ said.

Afterwards, he started yelling at the snakes, and jerked his hands around for a solid five minutes, until they finally listened. The snakes preferred their space, yes, but they couldn’t ignore the command of their ’master’ for long. They slithered to the left side of the staircase, squeezing together, and created a path for the rest of the clones to walk through.

The apes and the Compies were much faster, so they crossed the snakes in no time. After that, the snakes were given the freedom to climb as slow as they pleased.

“Long ass day, huh?” He said, “I’m sorry I got you stuck here today. I thought the snakes were going to be faster.”

“Don’t worry,” JJ said, “I have all the time in the world.”
