Chapter 362 - Torso Rave - Friendly Fire? (1/2)

The huge figures were making their way towards us and their bloated bodies were making it hard for them to move forward. However, the dismembered figures which were moving in an erratic pattern were fast despite their physiology.

”This is a f.u.c.k.i.e.d up version of the crab rave...” I muttered.

”What?” Kaley was about to fire at them but she looked at me with confusion.

”Later, later. Aim for the big ones while I'll aim for the small ones!” I said as I raised my BCM.

I exhaled then I looked at the sights and flipped the safety. I tucked my rifle in my shoulder by pushing it in with my supporting hand.

One was coming with speed while its elbows were folded. Its scalp and ears were missing but its eyes were directed at me. I aimed at it first and squeezed the trigger.

The bullet entered its eye socket and blood sprayed from the other side, staining the ones following from behind. I felt the recoil but I aimed my rifle next to the one on the roof of a car bouncing up and down. I estimated the correct timing and I sent another round to thin their numbers. I fired two shots consecutively after that because three were in a straight line. I was lucky enough for it to over-penetrate and hit a few more in the back.

An old one was coming diagonally and its fake teeth had punctured its cheek muscles. It was about to fall off but the coagulated blood was acting like glue. I followed it with my rifle and ended its life of undeath. I even saw a much younger torso traipsing over a wall and made a hole in its head appear.

The moment one appeared in my sights, its body would fall down faster than the brass casing hitting the ground.

The amount of them moving in an erratic pattern could make anyone dizzy and distracted but then I heard Kaley firing shots towards the big ones.

Three shots were sent one after the other after short intervals.

”Breathe.” I muttered because I saw the one she shot up was still standing.

I continued firing and good thing I was on the right side. If not, the brass casings would have showered Kaley because we were side by side. Her firing rate was not as fast because the big ones were still a ways away, walking slowly with long strides.

The skittlers I've killed were now getting run over by the ones hand-stepping over them.

Kaley managed to kill a big one but the roars echoed once more. A few skittlers from their side ran back and covered the other ones by digging their claws through the big ones' bodies. Several figures which were just arms and heads were trying to climb over a bloated and cut up deadhead.

”Wha-” Kaley and I were gobsmacked.

Only a few seconds have passed.

”Kaley! Aim for the small ones first! Let's get to those huge ones after!” I shouted and looked at the vehicles from our side still a few meters away. They were still firing nonstop and Lois was also shooting because he just finished reloading their used mags.

I shot one with a missing jaw and I pressed the mag release when my BCM clicked empty. I switched mags as fast as possible as I pulled out another one. I reloaded in one swift motion and a round was chambered after I hit the bolt release.

Kaley was making great progress on the walking torsos so I snapped the magnifier in place and looked through the sights multiplied by six times compared to normal.

I think I figured out why their stomachs were getting ruptured.

Human parts were protruding out of varying holes through their abdomen and I could freshly see one sticking out like a sore thumb. The bone from a leg that was looking like a femur was broken and it was making a new tear on the bloated stomach of the one getting covered by the small ones. Each time it took a step, its large belly would bounce and make the tears more apparent. I believed that if it tried to jump, a few would spill out from its abdomen.

I exhaled and fired two shots consecutively.

It hit right where I aimed it but the couple of torsos covering its head cushioned the bullets. I decided to fire two-round bursts twice and I finally downed one. There were a few more at the far back but I decided to aim at them when they get much closer. I flipped the magnifier back to the other side again to ease my eyes.

”Six bullets for a big one...” I thought to myself.

Kaley reloaded her rifle while I aimed at the few approaching us. They were like two-legged spiders slipping on thin ice because of the blood staining the road.
