Chapter 240 - The Stadium (1/2)
”Shit.” I muttered.
”Did that just happen?” Kaley added.
”What? Shooting from that distance? I think you could do that too, correct?” Tatiana said.
”No, it's a different thing. Wait, let me rewind it.” Darelle said.
”Hmm? What are you kids talking about?” Oscar said.
A few people caught our attention and we showed them the last moments of the little kid dangling her legs. The atmosphere suddenly got cold and saw their facial expressions immediately changing though some were still of disbelief.
It was clearly one of those things because its skin was discolored on different hues not to mention the huge laceration on its back that is showing a part of its spine. The black substance oozing out of the bullet hole that Jared created also adds to the evidence that it was already one of them.
However, what we witnessed earlier in that moment is something really unexpected.
”The f.u.c.k?!”
”No way dude.”
”What? Are you even watching it?”
”Yeah, but...”
”IT F.U.C.K.I.N.G TALKED FOR CHRIST'S SAKES!!!”
”...”
”Dude, can you pull out the audio? I know it would be bad because of the propellers but if we could at least hear something from it.” I said.
He grabbed his huge headphones from his bag and plugged it in the tablet. He turned the volume to max and brought the footage back to the moment the kid opening its mouth. He set the speed to normal first then half the speed so I could clearly see how she opened her mouth.

”He-”
*whrrrr*
*whrrrr*
”L-”
*whrrrr*
*whrrrr*
*whrrrr*
”Lo.”
*whrrrr*
*whrrrr*
*PSSHEW*
”It really talked. Can the older ones earlier talk too?” I thought to myself.
I carried a solemn expression and I handed the headphones to the others that wanted to hear it. Kaley looked at me for confirmation since she didn't take the headphones and I nodded to her to confirm what we saw.
”C'mon, let's head there so we could see that up close. The ones on the roadblocks will stay put while someone calls the cargo trucks. Eyes open since the noise we made would also attract a lot of them from other places. Grab anything we could find and we would split it all when we get back. Gather everything in front of the People's Park so when the cargo trucks arrive, it could easily be loaded.” I said to the groups.
”Oh, I'll have Raphael operate the Komatsu to make a huge pile of the dead that we've killed in a corner. Let's have a big bonfire for them instead of having different small ones. I'll head straight for the City Hall so I could check the several crates there of supplies. I'll see what could still be used.” Oscar said.
”I'll come with you!” Jared said.
”I'll come with also!” Lois said.
”I want to see the kid.” Tatiana said.
”I'll head back to the group on the right side of the highway.” Thomas said.
”We'll help on the other side of the highway.” Mark and Dong said.
”I'll help with gathering the supplies.” William said.
”Hey! Help with the bodies where the dozer couldn't reach!”
”Okay!”
”Damn, I can't believe we survived this.”
”Me too.”
