Chapter 257: 257

I’m looking at him and he’s still wearing a serious and suspicious expression. I thought he was just pausing for effect but his concern from what he is seeing is genuine.

“A little bit of crazy really runs in the family.” I thought to myself.

“Seriously dude? Last time you were asking why Tatiana is using a Benelli M4 since she’s Russian and now you’re asking me that Russian soldiers using AK-47s might be terrorists?!” I exclaimed as the people hearing us are starting to chuckle.

“Yes.” he calmly replied.

Facepalm.

“So that makes us the Counter-Terrorist faction since we’re using non-AKs? Is that it? *sigh* I don’t know dude, you’re always judging a person based on the guns that they’re using. Well, it could be somewhat accurate but that doesn’t mean it’s right all the time. It’s where you point it to that determines whether you’re a terrorist or not.” I replied.

“Dude~ I’m just making fun with you. Hah! I know that of course. Of course…” he trailed while scratching his head.

*PSSHEW*

Kaley started to shoot down anything we came across. The spent casings would fall onto the truck’s flooring the same way the bloody figures outside would hit the pavement. I would always bring extra magazines for her when we go out so she could practice while we’re moving. Lois didn’t come with us since it’s the afternoon and he’s probably fast asleep. If he was here, he would definitely be competing with her since Jared can’t fire as many rounds as them.

She could only practice this on our runs because the threat of zombies at our place is minimal. A few people are now helping Jay’s group in clearing the streets where the fences aren’t erected. You’d just see smoke rising up to the sky a few hours before the sun sets when they start to burn them. I told them to be extra careful when they go out now since the rate of sprinters appearing on their runs might get bumped up.

Like clockwork, one popped up from our back coming from a street corner.

“A regular one, huh.” Alexei commented as he lowered his gun.

I looked at Jared and he has this annoyed look. His finger was already in the trigger and all he needed to do was pull it. Alexei saw him and he smirked.

“Oh boy. First it was only Jared and Lois. Now Max… well max doesn’t speak much but he’s like them too. If we add Lawrence and Alexei… well, it’s all healthy competition.” I thought to myself.

“Boy, you need to be faster than that. Heh, I hold the most kills on those f.u.c.kers. I’m around 60-ish with those.” Alexei said.

“Psh! I just reached 99 kills yesterday. That one was supposed to be my 100th.” Jared replied.

“What?! How could you even count them?!” Alexei exclaimed.

“I’m around 40-ish the day before that but on our recent run, if you saw the video, It got bumped by a whole lot. We have drones hovering around if you want proof. I counted each one so I’m sure that I have 99 kills.” Jared was the one smirking now.

“See what happens if you’re overconfident?” Vera added.

“HAHAHAHA~!!!” Mikhail roared in laughter while I saw Nikolas looking at me.

“Yeah?” I asked.

“Nothing. If you’re gonna boast about kills of that kind don’t forget about him. How many was yours?” Nikolas replied.

“870. Most of them were not headshots though, but I still killed them regardless.” I replied as shock appeared on Alexei’s face.

“Show off.” Kaley added.

“And how am I supposed to catch up to that?! You crazy f.u.c.k.” Jared is getting annoyed even more.

“Next time if there’s another swarm like that, grab the Hayabusa. I’ll let you drive it instead of me. Just don’t get your head lopped off. You need to be-” then Alexei cut me off.

“Oh f.u.c.k, I saw that. Well, it doesn’t matter if you shoot them in the head or you bash them in with a rock, killing is killing.” then he spreads his arm wide.

“Hah! Nice reference.” I replied then Jared chuckled.

“Hmm? What reference?” Alexei was confused.

“Quick and Angry? Never watched that? There’s several sequels already.” I replied.

“Quick… and angry? What?” Alexei was confused still.

“Nevermind. I’ll give you a copy of that movie later. Get ready, we’re here.” I said as the trucks slowed down.

There’s several rotting bodies still chasing us from the back but Nikolas drew his MP-443 pistol and started on thinning them out. A few heads from the other side looked at our direction and they started to approach us as well. Several stores have their roll-ups already open and a variety of goods are scattered on the floor.

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

Holes appeared from their foreheads and a spray of blood followed after it. Mikhail was about to follow his brother but I tapped their shoulders.

“Don’t use as many bullets. If we could take them easy with a blade, do that instead. Just use them when thinning a clump.” I said.

“That’s a clump isn’t it?” Vera asked.

“Well, that’s still something manageable. I guess do it on what you feel is comfortable. Tatiana.” I said as I jumped down with her.

Mark and Dong vacated the Raptor which is in front of us and they have their shields ready. Jared and Kaley went to their positions while Nikolas’ group jumped down as well. However, Alexei remained on the truck and took his position with Jared.

“I’m gonna repeat what I said before we left the compound, make a perimeter first and avoid making noise as much as possible. We’d clear the places with the open roll-ups first before we proceed with the closed ones. Also…” I barked out our procedures.

I took the lead as I removed part of the salesman’s head starting from the bottom of the ear upwards to the top of its head. The mechanic next to it has its torn off chest showing its intestines and some of them are getting dragged down as it dangles. It was stepping on the longer bits and that makes its movements much more erratic.

I deflected its right hand that was about to claw me with my scabbard and I thrust my blade under its chin. My katana easily slid several inches and I pulled it out after I felt it losing control of its body. The blood staining my katana is thick and a few bits are almost curdling. I finally pushed it off with my scabbard as I cut down my next target.

What followed was a figure wearing a torn tank top but its right shoulder is dislocated and the bone from that elbow is jutting out and is pierced on its torso. That makes its wrist pointing up and it is now diagonally moving towards me. I slashed its left arm first before I slashed towards its right side. I entered in between its ring finger and pinky and it still continued on, removing its wrist. That part of its hand fell off and it entered its torso, cutting straight to its clavicle, removing its head when it left the other side. I avoided the figure’s falling body first before stabbing down.

I kicked it towards a small clump to attract them towards me. The moment they faced me, one immediately fell down from a shot behind me. Kaley was the designated clump thinner while Jared is the designated sprinter lookout. This time, Alexei is the monkey wrench that disrupted the system before since he would just shoot if he feels like it. The sound coming from the Dragunov is distinct since the rifles that Kaley and Jared are using are suppressed.

“Well, I have a different plan for them. I just want to see how they work. I need to put suppressors on their guns though. I might have problems with the barrels since some of them are threaded differently. Well, I could just give them the AK-47s that have their parts made in the US so the threads are similar or just use the suppressor we have that offers several adapters.” I thought to myself as I cut down what’s in front of me.

*PSSHEW*

*PSSHEW*

Kaley started to take shots on Mark’s side and I glanced at the people behind me. They’re methodically killing each one though I’m a few paces forward while Tatiana almost catches up to me. Her bastard sword is stained up to the halfway point with blood so it makes a red blur everytime she swings it. Nikolas and his team are on the other side of the road with their own bladed weapons and several unmoving bodies are behind them.

“Good. Well, it’s expected.” I thought to myself.

I then saw Tatiana’s next target and it made me use my pistol so I could clear out the zombies in front of me quickly since I saw something peculiar.

*bsshew*

*bsshew*

*bsshew*

*bsshew*

*bsshew*

They fell down the same time Tatiana’s bastard sword made its way to the back of its head. I hurried over to her and I flipped the figure to its side so I could see it clearly.

“Hmm? You see something?” Tatiana grew curious.

“Yeah. Mark! Move a bit forward so I could examine this thing closely!” I shouted as I started to drag it behind.

I was grabbing it by its feet but its flesh was like a f.u.c.k.i.e.d up version of a pulled pork so its rotting flesh just slipped right off its bone. Viscous fluids of different colors were still left behind and I’m holding two flapping boneless sleeves which were once someone’s leg. However, that happening made it so much easier since I only need to scr.a.p.e fewer bits of flesh near its femur. I could see a huge lump a few places just above it and the way it looks like is really unnatural.

“The f.u.c.k are you doing with it?” Nikolas asked in disgust.

“I saw something. Might as well check it.” I replied.

“Ah, f.u.c.k.i.n.g shit.” I thought to myself.
