YM778.TV Chapter 238
“What happened? You okay?!” Kaley immediately said.
“Well someone’s worried. Hahahaha!!! Of course I am. Gonna be a short moment. I just need to reach the U-turn and I’ll be back.” I replied.
I revved the Hayabusa once more and I started to drive at full speed.
*BRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMM*
“Shit kid, so Project Iron Web worked? I thought your head would get lopped off you crazy son of a bitch!” Oscar shouted but I could still hear several gunshots from their side.
“Yeah, this thing could only work on them because of the speed that they ran towards me. I had an idea before when they slammed against our fence on the early days.” I replied.
“Raphael, how’s it going on your side?” I asked.
“It’s just a bit loud from the constant bullets raining down on the Komatsu but I’m starting to push some of the bodies to the side along with some of the vehicles strewn about. This shit is f.u.c.k.i.n.g unstoppable!” he exclaimed.
“Did Project Glory Hole work?” I asked.
“GLORY HO- IT’S PORCUPINE!!! F.U.C.K.I.N.G PROJECT PORCUPINE!!! AHHHHHH!!! F.U.C.K.I.N.G SHUT UP AND GET BACK HERE!!!” he started to lose it.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!! A ‘project’ is our codename for an operation not an attachment! But yeah, Project Glory Hole sounded more fitting!!!” I exclaimed.
Several snorts and laughter resounded from my earpiece as I quickly made my way back. I hadn’t had the time to check on the tablet since I’ve got my eyes on the road. There’s plenty of roads to take where a few of the specials could run off to so the other vehicles we have at hand are made to hunker down and make a roadblock to box all of them inside.
The final roadblock has just been occupied when I went the way I came from and now it’s time to eradicate them as much as possible. I refilled the grenades I’ve used from the crate that my uncle has brought since the 8-wheeler is the one occupying the roadblock I was at currently.
I grabbed the tablet to check on everyone’s situation and most of the specials are still swarming over the Komatsu though a few have started to break off to run in different directions. The moment we killed the ones who appeared to have been commanding them, all hell breaks loose and they are like a wasp’s nest that was suddenly disturbed.
A mix of people are riding the back of the truck which came from my place and the two others. I’ve lent some of them my weapons and they’re required to give it back after what we do here. A few regular ones have started to approach our roadblock but they were quickly shot down by the soldiers from the DDR Camp. They made a small nod towards me first as I rode my Hayabusa once more.
“You going back inside? I think it’s pretty secure now. Just a matter of time.” my uncle asked.
“Yeah. I need to make sure though. Remember, you’re not supposed to hold down this roadblock, we’re doing this just for a chance to take all of them out. Our main goal is the resources we would be able to get back to our place. This place was supposed to be a camp but was overrun so we would be able to get a lot out of it. If it gets too dicey, make a loop-around and retreat if necessary. Our lives are still the most important one to hold on to..” I replied and looked at everyone.
They gave me a small nod then I radioed Marvin’s group.
“Marvin, Project Iron Maiden?” I asked.
“Successful sir. We’ve caught about a dozen, more or less inside the closed van. They’ve just funneled in and ‘set’ in place. Now we’re shooting down everything that follows. I think you’ve lured most of them sir earlier.” he replied.
“About a dozen? That’s good. I’m gonna circle around the other team and check on Raphael.” I replied.
In the immediate vicinity, about 30 or so sprinters clumped together, broke off from the cl.u.s.ter where the Komatsu is mowing everything down. It seemed they ‘sensed’ that what they’re doing against the Komatsu has no effect whatsoever so they started to focus on the other places.
They started to run towards the Fire Station but a huge chunk of metal suddenly slammed against them when they reached the corner. It was the armored van we took before with several bull bars now installed. The bull bars starts from the back running across the sides up to the front where it is welded to a huge chunk of metal like the ones attached to our 8-wheeler that is shaped like a ‘V’.
The place where the wheels are located were also covered by metal sheets in case one of them dives inside it. The armored van could run much faster compared to the Komatsu so the impact it made either sent the sprinters flying or the ones at the front broke their limbs to several places.
“YOU SEE THAT BRO?! F.U.C.K!!! I HIT MY HEAD ON THE SIDE!!!” Allan shouted from the mic.
“Careful you idiot!” Jenny scolded him
He was the one tasked to drive the armored van and he has already made several laps around the vicinity, slowly thinning them out. However, it isn’t as efficient in terms of killing them but it served its purpose to get the attention of the sprinters and the regular ones. It could also take punishment from the rain of bullets that is raining down towards the dead.
He travels at a set route that could allow me to drive around them in a wider arc since it would be difficult to traverse the road if it is littered with the dead. I reached below the building where Kaley and the others are located so I quickly parked the Hayabusa inside a small garage. The bullets raining down in this area stopped for a moment since I was below them so the dead approaching this place had advanced a sizable margin.
“Open the door below. I’m here.” I said through the mic.
“I’m here waiting already bro but there’s several at the door and I can’t shoot them!” Lois said as he saw me coming from the side.
There’s about 70 of the dead approaching me and on the far distance there’s about a dozen or so sprinters heading also towards my direction. I also have to make quick work of the ones at the door already since a few are smashing their hands towards it. I killed the ones on the door with my katana and I faced the ones incoming behind me. Now that the ones on the door are killed, they started to remove the barricades so I could get inside.
“This is gonna be close.” I thought to myself.
I pulled out my Tavor and I aimed for the closest ones.
*PSSHEW*
*PSSHEW*
*PSSHEW*
*PSSHEW*
*PSSHEW*
I was aiming through the canted red dot sight since my scope’s magnification is at 6x at the smallest. My gun was tilted 45 degrees as I pulled the trigger the moment I acquired the target. My gun is already acquiring the next target at the same moment I was de-pressing the trigger for the reset. Five bodies have already fallen from me but as I pointed to the sprinter closest to me, it quickly avoided where I was pointing the muzzle and it began to move in an arc.
I was about to aim towards it knees and shoot several times in succession but it took cover against the others approaching me.
*PSSHEW*
*PSSHEW*
Despite its efforts, it was gunned down from above and several more bodies followed after it.
“Thanks.” I said through the earpiece.
The door behind me was finally open but instead of me going inside, Lois also came out and helped me kill all of the ones in the immediate vicinity first. He started on firing as well and I immediately noticed how quiet his gun is compared to mine since he’s using the gun and ammo I gave him before. Both of our guns are suppressed and if it weren’t for others using louder guns, he wouldn’t be wearing ear protection right now.
His aim was true and added to the fact that some of what he’s aiming for is only tens of feet away. Each headshot didn’t need to be the center of the forehead. Even if it enters its temple, eyes, or the ears, as long as it nicks the brain, it’s good. Bodies started to fall towards us and the sprinters coming from behind had a bit of trouble getting proper footing from the bodies scattered on the floor. The last one who fell with a bullet hole in its head was only five feet away from us and it is wearing a government uniform.
We went inside the building that is a few floors high which is a hotel. We barricaded it again as we headed upstairs. I switched mags now because I only managed to switch to my pistol when there’s a small swarm of them running towards us earlier.
We reached the rooftop and Kaley was busy firing shot after shot. Darelle was also here and several monitors are in front of him that show different feeds from the drones and there is a gasoline-powered generator close to him where he draws power from. A few people are also with him helping drive the drones to key locations so we could have eyes everywhere. Kaley finally saw me from the corner of her eye and she breathed a sigh of relief, the same with everyone. We two just smiled at each other then I focused my attention on the monitors.
I tapped Darelle’s shoulder and he was startled.
“F.u.c.k dude! Don’t surprise me like that!” he exclaimed.
“Heh, what’s the situation inside some of the buildings? Especially the stadium?” I asked.
“Dude, there’s only a few inside but…” he trailed.
“But what?” I asked and he gave a difficult expression.
