112 Eagle Eyes (2/2)

The rest then followed him inside and just as they passed through the gate.

Colonel Russell then posed a question that he has been meaning to ask earlier.

”Seeing that you guys are still holding those recent firearms, means that they still work so where did you guys get your firearms from? We all know that modern firearms don't freak*ng work at all and now we're forced to use those outdated weapons stuck in the storage! It's a good thing that the comms from WWII still works and we're finally able to communicate back at the homeland!”

Reeds was already expecting those questions to come even before they got here so he just answered him calmly and said, ”We found this bad boys from a treasure chest that looks like its been submerged in the ground for a long time now so..yeah. It's really weird finding modern firearms inside an old and decaying chest”

”Now that the Captain said it, it's really weird at that time. It's someone purposely put this firearms inside that chest”

”Yeah, what's more. They still freaking works while the rest doesn't anymore. It's like some kind of god forbid the use of modern weapons”

Suddenly, Reeds and Russell suddenly stopped in their tracks when they heard the word ”god” like they were struck with a moment of realization.

'Could it be..?'

'T-this...that's impossible..could a god really exist? And it's punishing us now!?'

'Damn! If a god really do exist then this world is so f*cked up!' both of them shuddered in thought of what would happen if a god really was the one behind all of these chaos in the world.

”Captain, you alright?”

”Sir, is something wrong?”

””Ahh?””

”I'm good”

”I'm fine”

Then both of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly as they thought to themselves, 'It seems he also realized something'

After that little episode, they just continued on their way as the Captain Reed and his team started familiarising with their surroundings.

A few moments later, they finally reached their lodging. It was a camp barrack for soldiers.

”This is only the available place left that has still vacancies so you guys would be sharing it with the others so I hope you don't mind”

”It's already enough Colonel, thank you sir”

”Alright, I'll go back first. It seems we'll have a long talk this coming few days” Russell said as he patted the shoulders of Captain Reeds and the rest before walking off with his entourage.

The others then gave a salute and waited for him to walk away before entering their lodging.

All of them immediately jumped onto the beds of their own choosing and all of them except Captain Reeds immediately fell asleep, snoring away their worries as they finally had the chance to relaxed their nerves for a long time.

Captain Reeds then walked over to a window and closed his eyes, then he opened them. His then once blue eyes suddenly turned golden around his pupils like that of an eagle.

He was able to see the places hundred meters away in front of him like it was just in front of him.

”It's like my eyes just upgraded to become a natural binoculars like that of a bird” he mumbled before he went over to his bed and also took his much needed relaxing rest for quite a long while.
