30 Screaming Like A Girl (1/2)
In another corner of the city…..
Inside one of the tallest buildings in Manchester, are a group of over twenty men dressed in combat uniforms hiding in one of the rooms inside and the most noticeable thing is that they are not using their standard military weapons, instead they are equipped with Short Magazine Lee-Enfield Mk III Rifle or in short SMLE from WWII.
”Captain, what do you think? Should we go over and take a look? It might soldiers from another regiment.” a young man wearing the insignia of a lieutenant who's around mid twenties asked.
”I doubt that, we already know that modern firearms are not working even though there's nothing wrong with them and we're already lucky enough to even have these WWII firearms still working in good condition” the captain around thirty years old shook his head while looking at the Sterling submachine gun on his hand and he added ”and I'm pretty sure that sound is coming from a machine gun probably mounted on a tank or something and we are the only base around here with a couple of tanksso I'm not really sure if my guess is correct, they are probably not even soldiers of the British Army and our freaking tanks here are just tigers without any teeth...just decorations” the captain said in frustration.
”So, what are you orders Captain?” the lieutenant asked with some expectation.
”Of course, we go over there! We need to see who they are and see what the heck of a firearm they are using! Men, move out!” the captain commanded and his men hurriedly got and slowly walked out of the door of the building carefully.
One of the men slowly peeked his head out of the door of and look left and right and look back at the people inside and said ”All clear” then he exited the door and positioned himself outside to keep a look out while the rest slowly left the room.
”Use your melee weapons and refrain using your rifles unless necessary” the captain commanded.
”Yes sir!” the soldiers softly said.
”Go, go, go!”
Outside the building…
The streets are practically empty, littered with only trash and cars abandoned and one of buildings, over twenty soldiers cautiously walked out and one of them said ”All clear!”
”Drivers, operate the three tanks and we'll use it towards our destination” the Captain commanded and three people immediately ran towards a tank of their own choice andthe rest followed behind and just stopped beside the tanks and cautiously looked around their surroundings. Once the drives got inside, they immediately started it up.
Surprisingly the tanks are actually the FV107 Scimitar.
”Let's go! Tell the drivers to follow this tank I'm riding on” the captain said on a hand held walkie talkie they found earlier during their escape earlier today.
”Let's go, on me!” he barked as he tapped the tank driver on his shoulders and the tanks rumbled as they headed towards Leo's direction while the rest of soldiers are standing just on top of the tanks.
”Good thing our tanks can still run even though they are practically useless now except being considered as an armored vehicle but still thanks to this tanks that we survived until tonight” the captain thought as he sat outside on top of the tank.
While the soldiers are heading towards Leo….
The slightly shook as the M808B Scorpion slowly grew in size as it slowly nears them..
In front them appeared a tank that they probably have never seen before in the world.
”It's a scorpion, a scorpion tank..” the kid Jacob kept mumbling softly under his breath as he looked at the tank with shining eyes.
”Alright, you lot just make sure to follow behind” Leo said to to them as he tapped on car's window before he went back to the tank and operated the machine gun.
”Alex, continue!”
”Aye sir!”
The tank made a circle as it headed back towards the direction where it came from earlier as the Hummer carefully behind it.
