Chapter 554: 554
The ntion of a gun or any other handheld martial weapon being discovered would always make my head turn but a ntion of a cache where there would at least be a few in storage would allow to get myself kidnapped in the right circ.u.mstances. I zood inside the hallways of the precinct as I dragged Tatiana with and we soon arrived at the entrance to our destination.
My eyes were already sparkling, “It’s this place, right?!”
“W-Wait! It’s not what you-”
The mont I opened the door, the look of excitent I had was imdiately replaced by disappointnt. The door leading to this place’s armory had a tal, grated gate to go through before gaining unlimited access. However, I failed to notice the bulletholes on the door I opened earlier and the amount of viscous fluids by our feet. The sll was the sa as the last room and it was miraculous I was almost getting used to it.
“What the-”
“I told you. The guns are there but…”
“Hmm…”
Body after body belonging to civilians and police officers was in front of us, in a state of decay numbering more than a month. Furthermore, the ones by the gate to the armory were ford like a f.u.c.k.i.e.d up ramp due to the way they sward over the entrance. It would take a while to remove every single body and it would take so manpower.
However, looking through the gaps, a figure was inside with a gaping hole in the side of its head.
On the wall right next to the figure was a splatter zone but the bits that belonged to it had already discolored and added to the the of the whole area. It was quite difficult to see everything from the other side due to the blockage but the figure being on the opposite side of the entrance helped us piece together what happened.
‘Tried to fight them off but they blocked his only exit… well… he made his own…’
We eventually got to work but after a while, Oscar and a group he brought with him caught up to us. They ca in with his SUV and another pickup and a few soldiers were with them. He left the others to take care of the first batch of bodies to be burned but they will be sending a few dozers to push the bodies together to be burned into cl.u.s.ters later.
Oscar just told that he got bored of the cleaning process so he brought a group to follow us here.
“What’cha got over here? Oh! I told ya there was sothing here!” Oscar was already being his loud self.
I shook my head as I replied, “Yeah, the ammo left is a quarter though. Well, the grenades and-”
“What?! What the f.u.c.k happened?! A quarter?! This place should be ripe for f.u.c.k’s sake!”
“Yeah, a quarter. A guy holed up in the armory and started shooting everything that ca through. The thing is, the armory just got packed and packed, it beca impossible to push the gate the deadheads sward.”
“B-But! The bodies there aren’t enou-”
“Yep. He could’ve just started shooting randomly out of spite, we’ll never know. The silver lining is that the guns are still intact and the hard drives were untouched. Oh, there’s a handful of riot gear and body armor too so I suppose we’ll load that in your vehicles or you’ll give them to your team.”
“Yeah, I suppose.”
“Are you gonna follow us or are you gonna properly oversee the cleaning process? You know I’d leave you in the dust by using a chopper, right? You only caught up to us because we stopped for a while.”
Oscar sighed as he started pinching his glabella, “Fine, fine, fine, fine… I guess I’ll go back. There are still a few areas we haven’t explored yet. Besides, this route wouldn’t lead to Iskoh’s place… wait- ah f.u.c.k! I’m doing a few things at once! Kid, just make sure to clear the area after surveying it, okay? Just call in a group and start in the outer edges.”
I pushed him outside to his group and said, “Yeah, yeah, just go back and I’ll tell you what we see. It could be different from what we left it last ti so things could go a few ways.”
After a short while of dividing the ammo and loading everything else in their vehicles, Oscar went back the sa way while my group went for the love hotel we nested on last ti. The place seed to be zombie-free but the university right next to us had a few stragglers walking around.
It was because the formation of the bodies we piled up before changed over the days and weeks, so going higher and so getting lower. It allowed a few to use it as a ramp to explore the university we took over, making it another pain to clean up. However, we wouldn’t visit the university anyti soon because the main concern was the figures my group was staring at below.
Lois imdiately tapped as I approached them, “Bro, can I shoot the one on the far side? I could, right? The one with the two heads hanging by its neck!”
I placed my hand over his rifle and lowered it, “We take so footage first and observe. After that, we take down everything that we could.”
I gave them the controllers to our drones while Mikhail led the other three to double-check the lower floors of the love hotel. Looking at the ss below, it seed that the artificial ‘walls’ we made back then should’ve been cleared the mont we were done with them. The ones below were actually repurposing them to turn into the ones we faced last ti.
The specials with the elongated tongues we discovered hanging at the bottom of the train station have made a nest of the bodies piled on top of one another. Furthermore, a select few were walking around, ‘shopping’ for parts to add to themselves. However, it wasn’t a short process of just picking up a body and rging parts of it to themselves.
The whole process wasn’t confird but just by simply looking at them, they seed to be picking parts that would best… ‘suit’ them.
No one in my group was speaking a word as our eyes were just glued to either our screens or to our scopes. One of the ‘slurpers’ as we branded them earlier had a body that got deford or damaged, making it unable to chew anything anymore with a ripped-out jaw. Its tongue was the only one active and it was functioning through the two heads hanging by its neck.
It was the sa one Lois was trying to get permission to shoot but we opted in watching it for the mont.
The mont a regular deadhead approached it, its tongue instantly forced itself to its ear, going through and coming out of the left eye socket. The deadhead imdiately fell like a ragdoll before the one that attacked it knelt down, making the heads attached to it bite down for so unknown reason. However, it only took a short mont before its main tongue scooped out the chewed-out remains and shoved it inside the main body.
The feeding process continued for a while before it ripped its victim’s neck off, nestling it gently between the heads that ate it.
“What the f.u.c.k…”
It didn’t take long before its tongue went inside the back of the head, almost ‘stitching’ themselves into one being. After what was close to an hour or two, the new head was moving the sa way as the other two.
A few others had almost the sa thing going on but it seed that we have seen enough.
I tapped Lois who has already got it in his sights, “Send it.”
A suppressed shot followed before a small puff of darkened liquid burst from the opposite side of its head. It instantly fell with one shot and I didn’t have to tell the rest of them to start shooting the ones in the imdiate vicinity. It only took a few seconds but my group has already taken down almost a dozen. It was quite easy to identify which one had a long tongue and extra parts but they were located in a sea of dead bodies.
Bullets rained from the love hotel but I was still watching from the feed.
That was when I saw a few coming straight for us while a few have actually turned tongue and ran. Kaley managed to take down a few before they ran under the confines of the train station but she helped with the ones coming for us the mont they were out of sight. I raised my rifle instead of starting up the helicopter as I shot down a few that have managed to lodge their tongues in the gaps of the windows.
‘At least they don’t stick onto any surface… I guess their tongues are wrapped by the small gaps under the train station…’
They were hanging in place but it didn’t take long before soone plunged a cork into the hole it made.
‘Umm…’
