YM778.TV Chapter 391
Some zekes that were able to get up were having trouble moving because of the fall.
All of a sudden, a bus suddenly toppled over from expressway and it went straight down to the pile of bodies below. Even if the rotting bodies acted as cushions, we still heard the crank it made when the metal parts bent from the initial impact. The bodies it made contact with got flattened or mangled and I could only imagine the cracking sounds it produced.
The raining bodies weren’t over because several dozen more bodies fell on the bus, making their bodies turn in a weird angle. They also came with a few cars and concrete barriers and they all made the way back impossible to traverse without heavy equipment.
“WHERE THE F.U.C.K DID THOSE COME FROM?! WE’RE DEAD!!! RUN!!! WHY THE F.U.C.K ARE YOU SLOWING DOWN?!” Jomarro exclaimed as he kept tapping on my seat.
“SHUT THE F.U.C.K UP!!!” I shouted because all he was doing was create chaos.
I punched the button to make the sunroof and the rear door open but I didn’t punch the button to make the XM556 flip up. I opened my car door and I ran forward while Tatiana was behind me. I cut down the one in front of me as I saw the one wearing civilian clothing receive a slug on the head.
The bodies and the bus falling down from the expressway made a lot of noise so the ones simply roaming around that street came to our direction. I kicked an elderly deadhead with missing arms to the ground before shooting its head with my Maxim 9. Tatiana and I paved the way for the SUV to drive into and I turned around when Tatiana and I reached an intersection.
Jared was now driving the SUV while Kaley was peeking through the sunroof, firing several shots to the mangled horde at the back. Aside from that, I could hear loud gunshots coming from the rear and it was Mikhail getting into position with his PKM.
“Hey! There’s around ten in that store!” Tatiana tapped as she was reloading her Benelli M4.
“I got it!” I shouted as I pointed to a car where a couple of zombies were trapped inside.
I raised my rifle and I managed to kill five when the glass from the car doors was broken because Tatiana shot through them. All of sudden, I heard Kaley’s suppressed AR-15 firing several shots one after the other. I briefly glanced back and I saw three figures alarmingly closer compared to where the horde was grouped.
“I f.u.c.k.i.n.g hate it when those are mixed together.” I thought to myself as I picked up my radio to confirm their presence.

“Sprinter?”

“Yeah.”

“If they get too close and we still haven’t paved the way, use the XM556.”

“F.u.c.k yeah dude!”

“Don’t celebrate I hate wasting f.u.c.k.i.n.g ammo. Keep it steady, yeah?”
*bzzt*

*bzzt*
“Pause on this intersection, right?”
*bzzt*

*bzzt*
“Yeah, we’re scouting a bit ahead.”

“Lois should’ve been here.”

“Yeah, we’ll manage though.”

I ran towards the store where I shot up the bodies and I quickly took a huge step coming out from the corner to peek inside. There were 12 all in all but a few more infected were coming from other directions in the vicinity. I heard Tatiana firing her shotgun a few times in succession from the other side so I did the same and I cleared the dead as fast as I could. I didn’t have to drag the bodies to the side because there’s still space but we were about to encounter another problem.
A couple of SUVs were coming from my side and I couldn’t figure out their intentions from their initial approach. Their windshields were tinted and I didn’t know whether they were just passing through or they heard the commotion and drove here to take a look. However, it wasn’t the right time to figure out whether they were friend or foe because we have a huge problem to deal with already.
The only thing I noticed was that they were driving at a constant speed. The distance between us was enough for them to see me but they didn’t speed up nor slow down. They didn’t even use their headlights or horn to signal me and lack of information was one of the things I hate the most.
“The f.u.c.k are they up to?” I thought to myself frowning.
I initially planned to let my group clear most of the horde at that intersection while Tatiana and I would make escape routes. However, those vehicles arriving threw a monkey wrench at my plans. I decided to run back to Oscar’s SUV while facing them, rifle at the ready. However, those unknown people approaching me were still not planning to stop at all. I tried to signal them with my hands to turn around but the f.u.c.kers were still not responding.
It left me no choice but to lob a grenade between us. I could’ve used a more non-violent approach but I was not about to wait for them to tell me whether they come in peace. It was always a matter of life and death outside and me not throwing the grenade at them directly or when they were close enough was already a huge consideration considering the circ.u.mstances.
An explosion followed and it took away a great portion of a wall made of hollow blocks. Dust and debris flew into the air and I immediately shouted at Tatiana to get back in the SUV. I heard the brakes of the vehicles approaching us screeching so the ones driving them must’ve got the message that I was not f.u.c.k.i.n.g around. Kaley and the rest also heard the explosion so their shooting stopped momentarily.
I glanced at the horde they were firing at and aside from the couple dozen sprawled on the road which seemed to be sprinters that they peppered with bullets, they seemed to be barely maintaining the hold of the numbers of the horde.
Despite that, a lot of bodies were still falling from the expressway above and a few more vehicles were being brought down with them.
“Damn it.” I thought to myself.
I wanted to kill them all before proceeding but the best course of action was to let the matter go and regroup. There was also an unknown variable that popped up so continuing with the plan was downright stupid. However, before I entered the passenger’s side of the SUV, I turned around to check on the SUVs one last time. I saw that one of the doors of the vehicles approaching us opening and I could barely make out a silhouette.
“TURN AROUND BECAUSE THERE’S A F.U.C.K.I.N.G HORDE!!! RESPOND WHEN YOU’RE BEING SIGNALLED DAMMIT!!!” I shouted at the top of my lungs before I slammed our door shut.
“WHO THE F.U.C.K ARE THEY?!” Jomarro shouted while clutching his ears.
“THE F.U.C.K DO I KNOW?! JARED!!! DRIVE FORWARD BUT NOT AS FAST!!! TATIANA!!! TELL ME IF THE ONES IN THE SUVs FOLLOW AND I’LL SEND THEM SOMETHING SPECIAL!!!” I shouted as I pulled Kaley down.
“WHAAAAAT DID YOU SAY?!” Jomarro shouted.
“THEY’RE STILL A F.U.C.K TON COMING BOSS!!!” Mikhail referred to the dead.
“I CAN’T HEAR F.U.C.K.I.N.G ANYTHING!!! WHY ARE MY EARS RINGING?!” Jomarro bellowed.
“SAVE YOUR BULLETS AND CLOSE THAT DOOR!!! KALEY!!! THE AMMO CAN FOR 5.56S IS BEHIND THAT SEAT!!! RELOAD EVERYTHING YOU USED AND I’LL PASS YOU MY MAGS AFTER YOU’RE DONE!!!” I barked out orders and they followed.
“HEEEEEY!!! SOMEONE TALK TO-” Jomarro was adding to the noise so I gave him a huge slap.
“HEY!!! I’M SORRY BUT SHUT THE F.U.C.K UP!!! YOU’RE NOW WEARING EAR PROTECTION SO THAT’S WHY YOUR EARS ARE RINGING!!! I THOUGHT YOU HAVE ONE WHEN YOU BOUGHT THAT SHOTGUN SO I DIDN’T BOTHER CHECKING YOU WHEN WE WENT OUT!!! I’LL HAVE YOU CHECKED LATER FOR TINNITUS SO WEAR THIS FOR NOW!!!” I said as I gave Jomarro ear muffs.
“WHAAAAT?! HOW DO I WE- OH!!! THANK YOU!!!” Jomarro started shouting again but Kaley helped him.
I crawled to the back where Mikhail was and I checked where the horde was headed. Because of the noise we made and the explosion that occurred, the horde split into two and the other half was going for the people in the SUVs. I just heard their tires screaming and they drove past them, towards the road Tatiana cleared earlier. They didn’t bother going back and it seemed that they really needed to drive that way.
However, once they did that, most of the horde still falling from the expressway headed to their direction. In our case, a generous amount of the dead was still following us but we were maintaining our speed in case the ones riding the SUVs tried to follow us. I already opened the case of my RPG-7 but it seemed like I luckily wouldn’t have the chance to use it.
I picked up my radio and contacted Oscar.
