143 The Cunning Muscled Infected (1/2)
Day 5 – 11:42 AM – Main Gates, Eastern Bacoor National High School, Bacoor City Cavite
”Sh*t! What the f*ck are these infected!”
One of the soldiers cursed as he shot the infected that landed directly in front of him.
”Migs! Mind your language!”
The soldier who seemed to have higher rank than the soldier that cursed reprimanded.
”I know sir but what in the world are these! They are climbing the walls and throwing infected at us!”
”Don't question it now! Just shoot!”
The soldiers lined up on the elevated area in front of the guidance room and principal's office. Some of the soldiers were positioned on the second floor classrooms and were continuously shooting the infected outside especially the ones climbing up the walls.
With the exception of Mark, the always calm Abbygale and the golden dog Laelaps, everyone else were surprised with the behavior that the infected were displaying. It was then that they saw Mark hurriedly aim towards the metal railings on top of the wall.
After Mark muttered his intention, Mark intended to shoot the only infected not trying to haphazardly climb up the wall. Rather, the infected was peeking inside looking at the position of the soldiers.
BANG!
The sudden deafening sound overwhelmed the sounds from the assault rifles that the soldiers were using and took their attention towards Mark who shot his sniper rifle towards the wall. The moment the soldiers turned their heads, they saw him click his tongue as his sudden shot missed with the Muscled Infected jumping back away from its previous position.
It seemed that it detected his killing intent despite how sudden his shot was.
The soldiers on the other hand that saw Mark felt relieved. They recognized him who was the person to wipe out Dominador's faction that had been too much of a headache for them. Since he was here, they felt more assured. Furthermore, even the soldiers were in a state of panic right now. Even though they encountered Mutated Infected before and even nearly decimated by an Unknown, they never saw infected that were able to climb up walls. More than that, it was not only one but several hundreds.
WOOSH! WOOSH!
Another two infected were thrown inside. Both infected were thrown towards Mark's direction. He prepared to dodge but before he could do so, a red shadow and a golden flash ran past his both sides towards the direction of the two bodies currently falling towards him.
BAM! PGSHK!
Abbygale and Laelaps jumped up towards the two infected. Abbygale kicked the infected to the right making it fly back towards the gates while Laelaps impaled the forehead of the infected to the left with her horn before throwing the body to the side.
Seeing how the two coordinated to protect him, Mark smiled.
However, everyone else was dumbfounded. It was a mystery for them for Mark to bring a little girl with him when he was going to a place like these being attacked by the infected. Now however, seeing how the little girl was able to kick a full grown adult several meters away and run in fast speeds, it was no wonder he brought his daughter here!
SWOOOSH! SWOOOSH! SWOOOSH! SWOOOSH! SWOOOSH! SWOOOSH!
Still, it seemed that seeing Mark made the Muscled Infected go haywire as it started throwing the infected in like there was no tomorrow. Furthermore, it was throwing the infected in random directions that made everyone scatter their attention away from it.
”Quick! Deal with the infected inside!”
One of the soldiers shouted as one of infected that was thrown in ran towards him after it managed to stood up.
Seeing what happened, Nikky and her group joined the fray. As their group did not have guns, they only dealt with the infected inside lessening the pressure on the soldiers. Until…
SWOOOSH!
A large body was thrown in. Seeing that, Mark's eyes dilated. Because the large body was a body of a fully bloated Dozer!
It was not a problem even if something was thrown in like that if it was just Mark was here but the soldiers were not in their clearest minds and were shooting everything moving that was thrown in!

Mark bellowed. He was not late and some soldiers heard him but of course, not everyone was able to. Several soldiers on the second floor aimed at the Dozer without thinking.
”Gale! Everyone return! Laelaps! Pick up the others and retreat!”
Mark bellowed as loud as he could and also went behind the building. The two he instructed immediately followed. Abbygale hurriedly ran towards her Papa while Laelaps turned her body bigger and picked up Nikky and Delia who were the nearest to the Dozer before retreating. As Mara and Maverick saw them retreating, they also followed despite not knowing the reason.
Joey and several soldiers also retreated after they realized what that huge infected falling from the air was.
The Dozer landed on the ground and was immediately shot several times by the deranged soldiers.
BOOM!!! CRASH!!!
A sudden disgusting smell of methane and burnt flesh assaulted their noses as a loud explosion ensued breaking the glass of the rooms in front of the gate. Even the glass of the windows on the second floor was not spared. Several soldiers were caught in the sudden explosion. Some of them were flung away while some rolled on the floor groaning in pain.
On the second floor, the soldiers next to the windows were also injured with the broken glass buffeting their bodies.
The soldier nearest to the Dozer had the worst injury. His clothes and skin were burned especially on his back as he tried to run away from the sudden explosion. The others nearby also received burns on their bodies but their injuries were not as severe as the first one.
As for Mark's group, they were all fine due to Mark's prompt orders.
The remaining soldiers were dumbfounded. Hearing Mark shout made the soldiers on the first floor not shoot it meaning that the shot should have come from above!
”Damn! What are these idiots doing! They are trying to kill their own people!”
Maverick could not help but shout.
