Survival
CH10 – Assault
Z-DAY +2 – 10/09/16 – 4:19 PM
Soon enough a trio of men and one woman rounded a nearby corner, each with a crazed look in their eye and no real armour, unless if you count some pieces of furniture strapped to you as armour that is.
One of the men wielded a shotgun, while another had a police-issue revolver in his seemingly shaky hand, with the final guy holding what seemed to be a baseball bat with a nail through it.
The woman was just as crazy as the others from the looks of it, with a knife as a weapon and what I assume to be a police-issue bullet-proof vest. They all seemed to be wearing a similar uniform, so I can only assume that they all worked at the same place.
Soon enough, another two men came around the corner clad in similar gear, one wielding a broken bottle covered in blood with the other holding a brick.
Nothing more, just a brick.
"Well then! I think it's time you give us your shit!" Said the brick wielding idiot as we stood against each other, their gun wielding compadres waiting for a single reason to pull the trigger and end one of our lives
Although I don't want to kill a real person, it's needed and its something I'll have to live with. My gun's been pointing at them since they ran in anyway.
I looked to my right and saw the heavily fatigued Hirabayashi, Alice and Cody laying nearby. I turned my head to the left and saw Kai ready for a fight, refusing to back down.
"Well then?" He said with a devilish grin
I redirected my aim to the deadliest of them, the shotgun wielding nonce.
Delicately, I ensured I was aiming at his head and then noted the position of the revolver wielding dude, and with a pull of the trigger, their most dangerous member was silently dispatched
"GIT THAT MOTHAFUCKA!" the brick wielder said loudly in an odd accent, and on the orders of their boss all of them rushed forwards, with the revolver dude blindly firing in my general direction, missing all but one of his shots, which ricocheted off my helmet
Hirabayashi quickly disarmed the bat-wielder with his wooden Yari before proceeding to punch the man in the face, knocking him clean out, making his bloodied bat drop to the floor
"Boy I love helmets!" I said, adrenaline pumping through me, halting any thoughts on what I just did to that shotgun dude.
Suddenly I felt myself being pushed to the floor as I watched the fighting idly, my gun falling nearby causing me to regain some of my senses and immediately struggle against whoever was attacking me.
I looked at him in the eyes, then I looked at his weapon- a broken bottle. He hadn't restrained my legs and I was using my full strength to stop him from stabbing me in the face.
"I'd… *grunt* rather not get shanked today" I told him as I quickly moved my knee to his unprotected crotch, causing him to fall back and hold his private parts
Using the opening to my advantage, I backed up with my feet and grabbed my gun, taking aim at the writhing form of my opponent
Another thing I can add onto the list of things I hate from experience is executions, as I shot him directly in his head, causing blood to spill across the concrete.
I stood up shakily as realisation began to kick in. I looked directly at the idle boss who seemed to be amused by the entire situation. I then proceeded to look behind him and frown as the sounds of battle overtook the sound of the lone infected heading to eat the boss figure
"Bad way to go…" I muttered as Kai pushed the woman down onto the tracks as the train came around once more, his eyes widening in shock as he realised what the hell he just did.
With no one left to fight other than the revolver wielding guy who was still struggling to reload the small revolver and the boss who was about to be eaten alive, I looked to Alice to ensure that she wasn't watching this, only to find her crying her eyes out facing the wall.
If this didn't end soon and if we couldn't get to the surface quickly, this entire place will be swarming with infected, as such I took the initiative by taking aim on the revolver-guy
*click*
"What?" I thought
I tried pulling the trigger more *click**click**click*
The magazine still had rounds in it, so I can only assume it was jammed
As I found out it was jammed, the screams of the boss halted all our actions as he was pulled to the floor and eaten by that hungry infected, his only alive or not unconscious member standing in shock.
We watched in horror as the 'boss' screamed to the lord above and flailed his arms in pain, failing to do anything to stop the infected.
Soon enough the screams stopped as all that was heard was silent sobbing, the distant sounds of the train and the ever more present sound of the infected.
I simply looked towards the final guy "Jesus chri- "I began, only to be interrupted by him aiming the gun at his own head and pulling the trigger, ending his existence in an instant, making me jump back in shock, the others having a similar reaction.
Now wasn't the time or place to collapse or think about what we just did. If we did that then we will be as good as dead. I sighed inwardly "Let's move, and quickly before the infected do the same thing they did to that guy there" I pointed towards the 'boss'" to us"
Hirabayashi seemed to be on his last legs, and Kai seemed to be in a similar, highly distressed state. Cody was unconscious for the entire battle, so he didn't have to deal with it, and Alice didn't dare look.
Hirabayashi picked up Alice while Kai went full on 'damsel in distress' pickup for Cody. We were ready to move, although I felt the need to pick up both the Shotgun and its ammo and the Revolver with its complimenting ammo.
"I'm too young for this shit…" I muttered sadly as Hirabayashi nodded meagrely in agreement.
Holstering the P226, I held the double-barrel shotgun in my hands and put the Revolver in my bag, ammo being stuffed randomly into my pockets
We moved slowly past the infected and rounded the corner, coming face to face with a pile of bodies, probably made by the group of 'bandits' we just slaughtered…
"Great, now I'm thinking about it at a bad time…" I thought to myself with a frown
We silently walked past the bodies and a few entering infected, and as I found myself without much to do I inspected the weapon in my hands, keeping a close eye on where I'm going while doing so.
I found something peculiar on the weapon, more specifically an engraving – more of a name than anything else, and quite an amusing one at that
On the left barrel, 'RONSONS ROOTY-TOOTY-POINT-AND-SHOOTY' was engraved in bold on the side, leaving me with more than a few questions and a slight smirk on my face.
When we reached, and went up the stairs to the surface, we ended up facing a small gas station with minimal amounts of infected littered around and a Civilian grade MTVR. The only reason I know it's called an MTVR and that it's an MTVR is because I've played a lot of ArmA 2
"Gas stations are bound to have some form of First aid supplies…" Kai muttered to himself as I slowly walked towards the station
"Looks like we have no choice as always" I responded
"Let's hope we can also find some keys for that truck while we're in there" Hirabayashi included as we began our slow move forward. If we don't fix Cody up soon, or at least halt the bleeding, then he's done for.
A/N:
And another one. As per usual, criticism and feedback is welcomed and appreciated, and I hope you enjoyed this chapter, even though it was ridiculously short in my opinion.
