BXBX NOVEL Chapter 307
Chapter 307: 307
A gray sedan with dark tints, a black SUV hauling a caravan, and what seemed to be a green pickup truck with a few people hanging at the back were approaching us with speed. There’s also several people riding motorcycles with someone riding at the back. I could barely make up if they’re a real threat but I know one thing for sure, strangers popping up randomly isn’t exactly what I’m hoping for while we’re in the middle of something important.
Well, it didn’t take us a minute before we knew they’re up to something.
We were a few meters before we reached the traffic light when the green pickup swerved to the left and the people at their back pointed their guns at us. They were gaining speed and the other vehicles trailing us opened their windows and armed hostiles peeked outside carrying guns. The people riding the motorcycles sped up and guns were drawn pointing at our direction. They’re beginning to catch up to us and Benjamin has voiced his concerns multiple times.
The atmosphere immediately became tense and we heard a husky voice through our radios.
*bzzt*
“YOU F.U.C.KERS BETTER PULL OVER OR THINGS WOULD GET F.U.C.K.I.N.G UGLY!!!”
*bzzt*
I smirked and I picked up my radio.
*bzzt*
“You sure about that?”
*bzzt*
I made Jared signal Nikolas to use that thing at the back.
*bzzt*
“Bitch? Can’t you see the predicament you’re in?! AHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!”
*bzzt*
I heard a tap on the roof. I started to drive faster and faster and Benjamin followed suit. Benjamin and his team already saw what Nikolas brought out and they’re keeping close to our back to cover the surprise. We just drove straight and avoided the correct way towards the other entrance of my school. We’re now headed to the Public Market of Meycauayan where the road is starting to get narrow.
I’m ramming the zombies ahead and they’re all getting pushed and crushed to the side. The speed we’re going at is in the borderline of dangerous at these parts and one wrong move will roll your vehicle. They’re still persistently following us despite that and I’m sure they’re not here to kill us. They would’ve open fired ages ago if that was the case and I’m thinking that they’re after us or our vehicles.
*bzzt*
“Last chance to turn back. We have guns too.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“HAHAHAHAH!!! Can’t you see how outgunned you are?! You don’t want a f.u.c.k.i.n.g gun fight, trust me.”
*bzzt*
“I guess they wouldn’t want to damage this modified Raptor.” I thought to myself.
*bzzt*
“Oh, a gun fight that you’re thinking of isn’t happening, trust me.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“Hah! Do you even know how that’s gonna happen? Seems to me that you’re just trying to get away.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“Well, I warned you.”
*bzzt*
I honked the horn once and Benjamin quickly changed lanes.
All I needed for Nikolas to do is raise it up and let the ones behind see it. It’s too expensive to use it on these f.u.c.kers and I’d rather throw a grenade than to use this at them. I even opted out for using guns since a gun fight in our position is severely disadvantageous.
We just prepared a little something called shock and awe.
*SCREEEEECH*
*CRASH*
I immediately heard loud screeches and what followed are large crashes. All of the vehicles behind us were forced to instinctively hit their brakes hard or turn their steering wheels quickly. Nevertheless, the mess currently happening, they did that to themselves. The gray sedan crashed into a pillar hard while the black SUV crashed onto it. The pickup with passengers at the back swerved violently and it started to roll over.
Most of the motorcycle riders at the front lost control and crashed and slid, throwing off the riders at the road. The unlucky ones got rolled over and squished by the pickup. The road became a canvas of red when the pickup started to slide while bodies were still underneath it. It stopped sliding after crashing onto a store producing another crash. The ones that we’re ‘slightly’ unlucky have their bones broken in several places but I’m sure they’re still in the process of figuring out what just f.u.c.k.i.n.g happened.
All I ordered for Nikolas to do was just to raise and point the RPG-7 at them and it worked like a charm.
“Damn bro.” Jared muttered when he saw the mess behind.
“Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” I replied.
Nikolas placed it back on the case while we gradually slowed down.
We didn’t waste time and started to back up as we killed the ones that were barely alive. A knife to the head was all it took to end their lives. I decided to keep a couple of them alive for questioning and the first one I took is a woman whose leg is bent horribly and the other one is a guy whose half his face is almost scr.a.p.ed off. The lady was screaming loudly and Tatiana immediately knocked her out. The guy was surprisingly cooperative and he’s actually the one I’ve talked to earlier. However, we still tied him up nicely and made sure he has nothing hidden on his person. I saw him looking at me with fear and regret so I leaned over to him and said some words.
“I told you so.” I said before leaving him with the soldiers. I just heard him starting to sniffle and I just smirked internally.
What remains of his group on the ground have their heads cracked open or their guts spilling out. Some have bones jutting out from their extremities while a few were just a red smear on the road.
The pickup truck has no one left alive inside and the ones riding at the back were thrown off from rolling over and have just become roadkill or food for the ones roaming around. We’re putting down anything that comes close while I ordered the rest of Benjamin’s team to pick up the weapons the ones chasing us dropped by the roadside and any other valuable items they came across. They’re still in shock at what we did and they’re just staring blankly at the aftermath.
“Hey! Don’t space out now! Quickly!” I shouted.
“Y-yes sir…” some of them replied.
“You think they have a base of their own?” Kaley asked.
“We’ll know after questioning them and checking some of their belongings. Let’s check the sedan and the SUV first before anything else.” I replied and she followed me.
We reached the sedan and a couple of bodies were on the roof with necks bent at an impossible angle. Their heads have cracked open and their brains have spilled out on the roof, while a few chunks are on the pavement. I looked at the SUV with the broken windshield and surmised that they came flying because they didn’t wear their seat belts. I dragged their bodies away from the vehicles and looted their bodies before checking the caravan they’re dragging earlier.
The caravan simply broke off from the SUV after the crash and it only slid a few meters away. I made sure that nothing was moving inside before I started to open it. Shining my flashlight inside the caravan, there’s a multitude of random items and I ordered the group to hook it up on our Raptor first because the dead were already gathering towards us. A couple dozen were already close so I dove in head first.
Kaley was at an ample distance behind me and I attracted the rotting bodies towards my direction. I started to back away when I succeeded and now they’re forming a semi-straight line. I moved to the left while Kaley moved to the right so the undead would be at her mercy since they’re all side-by-side ready for quick picking.
I slashed upwards and my blade entered its chin and left its head. I kicked it down then I thrust my blade forward to the next one. It’s mangled hand failed to reach me since my blade is longer. I continued on cutting them down and Kaley started to fire her pistol.
*psshew*
*psshew*
*psshew*
*psshew*
*psshew*
Kaley fired several shots at the one at the back-most first, going to my direction. She stopped after five more shots and I noticed that she killed them alternately. I saw her drawing her blade and cutting down the ones that are left on her side. It took us a few moments to put them all down and the same thing is happening on the other side of the road where Alexei and Jared were.
“Sir, everything is accounted for. We even took the fuel from the SUV and the sedan. However, we used a moderate amount to burn their bodies along with the dead we’ve killed while looting them. We threw anything valuable inside the caravan but the guns and ammo we found were on the back of your truck.” Benjamin reported.
“How are you guys on ammo?” I asked.
“We’re uhh-” I quickly cut him off.
“Okay, I understand. Reload your magazines and make sure that it’s full and you have extras. Grab an extra gun since you’re all just carrying one each.” I said.
“You’re certain sir? We could really have one extra?” another soldier asked.
“Yeah. Just take what’s enough and at least leave us something to take home. Make sure the one you’re taking has a lot of ammo or you’d just get to fire it a few times.” I replied, smiling.
They wore excited expressions and chaos almost ensued. We didn’t find a lot per say but it’s enough to fill a magazine and a half for each of them. They’re now carrying a handgun and also a shotgun or a rifle same as us but they don’t have the extra attachments. Benjamin finished placing several slugs on the sling of his shotgun and he pocketed a few for extra measure. Jared started to teach one of the civilians how to use an M70 and our group dynamic with Benjamin’s group increased from our recent encounter.
We zigzagged around the mess that we made and we headed to the other entrance of my school.
