Chapter 44 - Breakthrough (2/2)
”Click!” The enemies ran past a metal wiring on the floor, pulling off the safety pins on the grenades. It released the valves on the grenades, dropping them on the floor.
”Grenade! Watch...” The captain warned.
”Boooooommmmm!” The ground shocked and trembled as hundreds of thousands of shrapnels shot in all directions.
The three enemies that were nearest to the grenades, stood no chance. They were penetrated all over their body, instantly killing laid on the grounde unmovingly too. He only got up after pushing away the enemy's dead body that covered him.
His plan was to use one of the enemy's body to block the brunt of the shrapnels. A human body is 4 times tougher than concrete. Gray knew about this and decided to use it to his advantage.
”Argh!” Gray tried to stand up, only to find out that his ankle had actually been pierced through too. Gritting his teeth, he pulled it out and tied a piece of cloth around his ankle to stood the bleeding.
”Sato!” Gray moved outside, getting on his car and driving off in the general direction that Sato did. The car eventually came to a stop by the river. Sato's car had crashed and was sent into the raging river below. There was no sign of the enemy. Gray's eyes lost it's colour. Did Sato die?
No! Gray ran down to the river bank. Even though his leg hurt and bled, he didn't care for his circumstances. He needed confirmation that Sato was truely gone from this world. Trudging down the banks for over 5 kilometres, Gray was soon going to give up. Sato was no where to be seen.
It was then, two figures could seen lying on the ground on the opposite side of the river.
”Sato... Sato...” Gray immediately walked through the fast moving water. There were at times when he trips slightly and was almost washed away by the water. Yet, his eyes never left sight of Sato. His one and only Sato.
Gray eventually made it to the other side. Looking at the driver, he had already bled out from a gun shot wound. Sato on the other hand, was bleeding slightly from his head, but was still alive.
Gray tied a piece of cloth around Sato's head as he carried him up in his arms and walked back to the bridge. He didn't have a working phone on him and so he had to make it back before Sato's conditions get any worse.
He looked at Sato's pale and cold body. Gray hugged him tighter, trying to give him as much of his warmth as possible. You will make it through this, Sato, I promise!
For Sato, Gray neglected his wounds and injuries. For Sato, Gray could do anything. For Sato, Gray is willing to take all of Sato's pain away from him.
