Chapter 240: 240
“Shit.” I muttered.
“Did that just happen?” Kaley added.
“What? Shooting from that distance? I think you could do that too, correct?” Tatiana said.
“No, it’s a different thing. Wait, let rewind it.” Darelle said.
“Hmm? What are you kids talking about?” Oscar said.
A few people caught our attention and we showed them the last monts of the little kid dangling her legs. The atmosphere suddenly got cold and saw their facial expressions imdiately changing though so were still of disbelief.
It was clearly one of those things because its skin was discolored on different hues not to ntion the huge laceration on its back that is showing a part of its spine. The black substance oozing out of the bullet hole that Jared created also adds to the evidence that it was already one of them.
However, what we witnessed earlier in that mont is sothing really unexpected.
“The f.u.c.k?!”
“No way dude.”
“What? Are you even watching it?”
“Yeah, but…”
“IT F.U.C.K.I.N.G TALKED FOR CHRIST’S SAKES!!!”
“…”
“Dude, can you pull out the audio? I know it would be bad because of the propellers but if we could at least hear sothing from it.” I said.
He grabbed his huge headphones from his bag and plugged it in the tablet. He turned the volu to max and brought the footage back to the mont the kid opening its mouth. He set the speed to normal first then half the speed so I could clearly see how she opened her mouth.
*whrrrr*
*whrrrr*
*whrrrr*
*whrrrr*
“He-”
*whrrrr*
*whrrrr*
“L-”
*whrrrr*
*whrrrr*
*whrrrr*
“Lo.”
*whrrrr*
*whrrrr*
*PSSHEW*
“It really talked. Can the older ones earlier talk too?” I thought to myself.
I carried a solemn expression and I handed the headphones to the others that wanted to hear it. Kaley looked at for confirmation since she didn’t take the headphones and I nodded to her to confirm what we saw.
“C’mon, let’s head there so we could see that up close. The ones on the roadblocks will stay put while soone calls the cargo trucks. Eyes open since the noise we made would also attract a lot of them from other places. Grab anything we could find and we would split it all when we get back. Gather everything in front of the People’s Park so when the cargo trucks arrive, it could easily be loaded.” I said to the groups.
“Oh, I’ll have Raphael operate the Komatsu to make a huge pile of the dead that we’ve killed in a corner. Let’s have a big bonfire for them instead of having different small ones. I’ll head straight for the City Hall so I could check the several crates there of supplies. I’ll see what could still be used.” Oscar said.
“I’ll co with you!” Jared said.
“I’ll co with also!” Lois said.
“I want to see the kid.” Tatiana said.
“I’ll head back to the group on the right side of the highway.” Thomas said.
“We’ll help on the other side of the highway.” Mark and Dong said.
“I’ll help with gathering the supplies.” William said.
“Hey! Help with the bodies where the dozer couldn’t reach!”
“Okay!”
“Damn, I can’t believe we survived this.”
“ too.”
“No one’s dead too which is unbelievable.”
“Sky was the one who lured the majority of them away, right?”
“Yeah, I wonder where he broke off.”
“Broke off? Hah! He killed them all. I saw the pile of burning bodies in the tunnel.”
“ too. I was on the roadblock where it was near.”
“What?!”
“Yep.”
“OI! Less talk, more work!”
“Y-yes sir…”
Everyone went to their assigned positions and we did as well. We didn’t bring everyone that could fight here since we still needed people back ho to keep things secure and in order. Sa with the DDR Camp and Woodlands. Ferdinand was back at the Camp while Matthew was taking charge at ho with so of my people. Half of the trainees we have and the soldiers are with Johnny and they are tasked with guarding Woodlands since it is more exposed compared to our place.
I was with Kaley and Tatiana and we made our way to the small stadium. Everything’s secure but I still have my hand on the tsuka or the handle of my katana while the other is carrying my Maxim 9. Kaley has her AR-15 ready while Tatiana has her bastard sword drawn.
We made way for Raphael to drive the Komatsu so he could start to gather the bodies while a few others started to carry them on the side of the road so he could easily grab them with the claw.
The first thing we saw when we’re closer to the stadium is the dozen or so bodies that were moving differently earlier. I flipped one over so I could examine its body. Aside from the way its arms were mangled due to their own actions, there seems to be nothing different from their bodies that shows why they are moving on all fours earlier. Its kneecaps are protruding though because it is moving that way and the rotten skin couldn’t take as much damage. Tatiana sunk her sword down to make sure none of them were moving and I noticed that Darelle followed us from behind.
“You’re recording?” Kaley asked him.
“Yeah. I wanted to capture everything here. Much better if I’m up close.” he replied.
“Stay close and don’t wander alone. We’re secure here but we’ll never know.” I said.
“Says the guy who went solo earlier. I’m getting goosebumps when I watch the footage from the drones dude!” he excitedly said.
“Hah! Well you got there. Send a copy later. That’s the best way I could think of to thin them out while using as few bullets as possible. Though next ti on a swarm of regular ones, we’d do the reverse since they wouldn’t be moving as fast.” I replied.
“Well what surprised more is that Kaley was not worried as much as I think she would be.” he said.
“Hey! I’m worried for him but didn’t you see his eyes gleaming when he was talking about the plan?!” Kaley chid.
“Hey guys, check this kid. I think sothing’s wrong with its mouth. The inside of this place too is sothing else.” Tatiana said from the front.
Our casual conversation stopped and we went to her direction where the kid is now laying on its back. On the small space just below the stage are several bodies that are dismbered to different pieces the sa way the kid was munching on earlier. It seed that the parts that are torn off are placed with a bit of ‘organization’ since you could see piles where there are arms, legs, torsos, and heads stacked separately.
The heads are smashed beyond recognition and the torsos has their organs already missing. A huge hole was in the cavity where the organs of a human body is supposed to be located but by the looks of it, it wasn’t removed surgically but by brute force. The ribs are broken off where it is convenient and the skin just flaps off.
“The f.u.c.k did they do that?” Darelle said but we three are silent because we too don’t know the answer.
“If I turned to one, I guess I’ll do that. Maybe a bit-” I’m not finished with what I have to say but Kaley kicked hard.
“HAHAHAHAHA!!! Rin might too.” Tatiana added.
“…” Darelle was speechless.
“Can you two stop?! I know you two would but… *chuckles*” Kaley’s face was red.
“Hah! Now you laugh?! You’ve been holding back all this ti?!” I exclaid.
“N-no! It’s just too likely if it was you t-two…” she stamred.
“Heh, welco to the dark side!” I celebrated as she glared at .
Darelle was shaking his head but then he started to approach Tatiana and he pointed his cara to what she was doing. Tatiana has already sliced the part of the kid’s cheeks so it could let her open its mouth wider. What she did was a sight most of us are starting to get used to but the inside of the girl’s mouth is really different. I then rembered what happened with the head I kept for a ti.
We didn’t see it clearly from the footage but sothing is bulging inside its gums and throat. Darelle has his cara ready while I glanced at Tatiana to cut on the side of it to see what was inside. I really thought it has grew extra parts but I was wrong.
Blood and pus ca out and it is so viscous like a f.u.c.k.i.e.d up version of condensed milk. When the whole incision was finished, several dozen fat maggots ca out one by one wriggling.
“Blech!” Darelle gagged while Kaley grimaced. Tatiana’s brows were furrowed but I was more curious to see what else would happen.
One of the girl’s tooth fell off and we discovered a lot more worms squirming inside though much smaller. They’re all clumped inside while moving ever so slightly. Tatiana dug her knife in between the kid’s teeth and she twisted her knife so that the others would fall off. They did fell off but it was the sa sight.
“Dude! Let’s burn it now! That’s f.u.c.k.i.n.g disgusting!” Darelle exclaid.
“Please!” Kaley added.
“Yeah, let’s pull it out. I thought we would discover from that bulge for how it talked. I guess everything stems from their brains still. This is sothing new though. It’s gonna be f.u.c.k.i.e.d up when a zombie we would be killing is talking at us.” I said as they gave solemn expressions.
“I’ll do it. I’ll pull it to the side of the road to be burned with the others.” Tatiana said.
“Nah, just call a few more people. Tell them to burn those just outside and the dismbered parts too. Let’s start to go to the place where the servers are. That’s the main thing I wanted to get in this place. It took us a while but this is one major accomplishnt.” I said then she picked up her radio to contact the others. As she was doing that, Oscar radioed in.
*bzzt*
“Kid. I think I’m about to cry! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”
