Chapter 8 A Task Team (1)
“Tuk-tuk-tuk, tak-tak-tak~”
The voice of gun shots rose one after another, accompanied by splashing blood. Crazy ghouls kept falling, and the place in front of the iron guardrail around the gate was full of the debris of ghouls.
“Captain, we’re running out of bullets!”
A soldier refilled gun with bullets and shouted at the captain next to him at the same time.
This was the police station of City St. John southern district. It was a three-storey concrete building which was about 30 kilometers northwest of Dick Town.
“Damn, fucking ghouls!”
The captain clenched his fists tightly.
“Attention! All come back to the third floor in two minutes and block the stairs! ”
The captain had to order them to evacuate. Although he was very unwilling, the lives of the soldiers were more important.
…
The task of the team was to go to the east district of City St. John to find a special device in a biological pharmaceutical company called Herod. As for the purpose of the device, the officer who released the mission did not tell him, only giving him a photo of the device.
Searching for objects was a low-level task, which was usually considered to be of low risk. Therefore, the military had arranged several recruits in the team in order to carry out actual combat training for them.
The captain hated recruits. He was different from these raised soldiers, he joined the army later and had wandered in this Wasteland before. In his opinion, with these arrogant and foolish recruits to execute a task, one was simply making troubles for self.
But he could not disobey the orders of the army.
Helicopters carried team members to the pharmaceutical company. The broad St. John’s Revolutionary Memorial Square, which was not far from the company, was the planned landing place.
However, the helicopter was attacked by a rocket from mutants when they were less than two kilometers away from the planned landing place. For the sake of safety, the pilot landed the helicopter on a middle school playground which was about four kilometers away from the destination.
“Soldiers, good luck! See you in six hours!”
Leaving that sentence, the pilot flew away quickly.
The captain looked around the playground and found nothing unusual, so he gave instructions for action.
“Soldiers, action!”
The team left the playground quickly.
On the way to the pharmaceutical company, the team encountered several groups of looters. But these looters did not take any action, just looked at them from a distance, and then left.
Obviously, this armed team was very deterrent to looters. Uniform rifle, simplified Cave combat armor, and a laser rifle in team leader’s hands. So they could be invincible as long as they didn’t meet regular forces.
“Ha-ha, these vagrants are really cowards. But for I have a mission now, I would surely shoot them in their asses!”
A recruit was sort of excited. Looking at these looters who left rapidly, he could not help being arrogant and even waved his gun.
According to those people who were raised and grew up with protection, the vagrants on the Wasteland were inferior, unreliable, and could be eliminated at any time. Those who hid in the ruins were doomed to be eliminated, and they were the hope of human civilization.
“That’s right. Look at their rags, what’s that?”
Several recruits burst into rapture.
“Be quiet!”
The leader glared at these recruits.
“Never underestimate anyone, never! This is my advice to you. You despise vagrants, but they also can blow your heads with guns in their hands.”
The captain was quite serious when he said this. Actually, he was not very talkative. But looking at the silly recruits in front of him, he had to remind them. He may not care about the life of these recruits, but he was unwilling to bear the punishment of the army if any accident happened.
