As his eyes adjusted to the sun, he saw that the fence was doubled layered, much like the style of a prison. It even had watch towers every few feet.
Camo continued to drive down the road. He saw that the road led to a gate in the fences, but they looked rather heavy and reinforced. Soon all the hamsters around picked up on the fact that the vehicle was trying to escape and started shooting it. Everyone in the back flattened themselves to the floor, in an attempt to avoid being hit.
"I think I know why the underground base was so empty." Navy shouted out.
"Why!?" Camo shouted back, not taking his eyes off the road.
"They were all up here." Navy shouted. "There is an entire complex above ground behind us."
"Ehh, yes, the facility above ground is the main building; the underground section is for biohazard and chemical testing." The scientist explained.
"Good to know." Camo shouted back.
As Camo got closer to the gate, he saw that it was heavily reinforced, and nothing but a tank could get through it, he figured.
"Uh, Camo? What are you going to do about that gate? It looks way to strong." Indigo asked, with worry in his voice.
"The only choice we have, we're going to try and go through it." Camo responded, determined.
Right then, a bullet whizzed by Camo's head, and cracking the windshield. Camo jumped in surprise, and jerked the wheel to the right and went off the road. He then turned the steering wheel back to the left and tried to bring the car back onto the road, and thankfully was able to, without the car spinning out of control. Unfortunately, the screen was completely cracked and Camo couldn't see out of it.
"Indigo, deal with windshield." Camo ordered.
"On it." Indigo responded and he tried to push the windshield out of the frame.
With a few pounds of his fist it popped out and slid off the car. Camo kept driving at the gate, and the hamsters continued to shoot the car. The loud pings of the bullets hitting the car resounded through Camo's ears, and the bullets flying past his body made the adrenaline start pumping through his body.
"Brace for impact!" Camo shouted out to everyone in the car.
They all prepared for the hard impact.
Then they smashed through the first gate. Camo's arms tried to absorb the impact, but he couldn't stop the g-force from bringing his head close to the steering wheel.
Camo had just enough time to look up at the next gate before they crashed into it. His arms didn't stop any of the impact and he was almost thrown out the window. Thankfully, the steering wheel stopped him from flying out the window, unfortunately, his body was smashed against the hard object and his chest erupted in pain.
Camo pushed himself back into his chair and tried to take a breath. At first, his chest hurt too much to move, but after a few seconds he was able to start expanding his lungs and get a breath. His eyes were shut in pain and he gritted his teeth. He gave himself a second to try and gather himself.
All the hamsters around stopped shooting at the car and watched the car, confused about what to do next.
Camo's brain was able to start focusing again and his first thought was to make sure his team was alright.
"Everyone ok?" he was able to say through gritted teeth.
He heard some coughing, then Orange's voice. "I'm alive."
Then Navy's voice. "I'm breathing."
Camo waited for Indigo's response.
But it never came.
Camo quickly opened his eyes and slowly rolled his head to look at Indigo. The first thing he noticed was that the gate was still closed and was only slightly dented.
"Dammit." He said, annoyed that the car didn't even manage to make it through the other gate. As Camo looked at the passenger seat he saw that Indigo was laying on the dashboard, halfway out the window. Camo pulled him off the dash and into the seat. He checked for a pulse, and that he was still breathing. He was.
"Indigo is alright, just unconscious. How are the prisoners?" Camo asked.
"The one is still unconscious, but they are both fine." Navy responded between breaths.
"Good." Camo replied, trying to think of what to do next.
"I have an idea, let's bring everyone to the nearest tower, we'll defend everyone there, and I'll radio command to get us some extraction." Camo explained.
"It's the only plan we got, let do it." Navy responded
Camo looked both ways down the fence at the two closest towers. He figured that the tower on his left was closer.
And that's page 35. I also figure I will stop putting my useless comments at the start of every page, I imagine that they are probably just annoying. Anyways, hope you like the story, and as always, feel free to send me your thoughts with a review or PM.
