Outbreak Chronicles: Dead Pandemic

Chapter 271 - A Meal for the Dead
A feast has been held inside the base of the gangsters. After their successful raid, they managed to gather a large amount of loot, alongside prisoners they are planning to sell for profit and to also suck up some reputation with the slave traders for better offers in the future.

Some slaves were easily subdued and now ready to be shipped to the slave traders. The others who are more adamant about being subdued refused to be enslaved. Due to that, they were instead killed by being executed or hanged in the gallows. Some were even violated first before being brutally killed. It was a cruel thing that is being celebrated by the gangsters. Little did they know, the wrath of the little devil has now reached the peak that their salvation is no longer possible.

(Kyosei’s View)

Rushing to the gates of the gangster’s base, still with the swordsman following my back and also the horde of undead corpses that are running at full speed.

Since it is dark where I came from, the guards did not notice the undead behind me and just saw my figure approaching.

”Halt! What do you think you are doing trying to step in our territory?!”

I have no time to worry about them. I continue to run towards them, causing their alertness to reach its peak.

”Approach further and we will shoot!”

I ready my weapons and my grappling hook. This is risky enough as I can be killed the moment they will shoot their guns at me. But this risk is enough for me to make sure they won’t be able to live a peaceful life.

The guards started to aim their rifles at me. However, they suddenly looked terrified the moment the undead behind me appeared. I am also in a range of a nearby lampost that is also adjacent to the gates. After getting the timing, I shoot the grappling hook to the lampost and retract it once it got attached firmly, dragging me along.

The guards who were originally meant to guard the mansion and shoot any intruders were not able to respond properly and get the proper action done. The moment I got away and disappeared from the undead chasing me, their sights landed straight on the unsuspecting guards.

One of the guards grab his radio and quickly asked for backup.

”Gate 1 reporting, please provide a backup! We are under besieging by the infected! I repeat we need backup as soon as possible!”

”We need to get out of here!”

The two guards who were stationed were in a state of panic that they started to fire on the horde. However, the moment the Swordsman appeared before them, their eyes widen and they started shooting rapidly while screaming. Of course, in just a single slice, the two guards were no longer be able to scream after their heads went flying the moment the Swordsman delivered its slash to them, leaving their bodies as fresh meals for the dead.

...

After the guards sacrificed their lives, I managed to cross the fence by jumping from the lampost. Despite the sound of guns blazing from the rifles outside, the guests and the gangsters seem to not heed it in mind.

I managed to infiltrate the place and with the horde on the gate, it will take a few minutes before they will be able to break free. Ah, I almost forgot that one of them can easily slice through obstacles without a problem. It will go into chaos sooner than expected.

But never mind that, I pull out my Piyavka Machete and creep on one of the guests that are enjoying their drinks in the corner. Without warning, I hold their mouths, muffling their voices before stabbing their throat with the Piyavka Machete, killing the poor guy immediately.

The woman that seems to accompany the guy I just killed frowned when she noticed him missing. She started calling for his name and goes near to my location. The moment she turned her back, I grab her mouth and muffled her voice before proceeding to stab the woman on her throat.

As I said earlier, there is no such thing as mercy to people who enjoys killing other helpless people and treat it as a mere enjoyment show to pass the time. I know it is wrong to kill them but I am not a saint. I will kill without hesitation if they deserved the fate of getting killed.

I made my way slowly but surely to the populated area and hid in the shadows. I don’t need to blend into them especially in the clothes I am wearing. Instead, this will cause me to stand out more.

This time, I heard another round of gunfire outside the gate and the visitors now looked confused about what is going on. While the crowd is in chaos, 

From the looks of the people’s reaction, the undead has finally managed to break through the gate’s defenses and without the guards to block the breach, the undead poured inside. Screams and violence ensued as the Swordsman joined the fray. Guts and flesh of different individuals made the floor and the ground dyed red as the casualties keeps on rising. 

Since chaos already ensued, I took the opportunity to sneak inside the mansion and look for myself where are the slaves they imprisoned. Since the guys that are executed no longer have the chance to be saved, the only one I can deal with this time around and saved are the slaves that they didn’t killed but captured.

Due to the chaos of the festivity that the dead created after they found their meals, every people who can fight were now on the focus of fighting the horde and the swordsman, causing the place to end up empty. I am not sure if the gangsters can repel the horde but if they did, then its good since my worries will no longer be that big but if the gangsters were also wiped out, its not that bad but not so great either.

The layout of the mansion’s interior isn’t that large and they are easy to traverse around, allowing me to find the right room where the slaves were imprisoned. They were put inside the jail bars and most of them left alive are girls wearing torn clothes. All of them are injured and some seems to be suffering from shock.

When I entered the room all of the prisoners glared at me but I didn’t care. Also, I decided to keep them imprisoned for now. They will be safe against the horde and unless the bars of the prison is cut out by the Swordsman, they don’t will be safe as long as they don’t lean into the bars and let themselves killed.

After checking out that all of them are still alive and all of them are just imprisoned, then I sighed in relief and went back out of the base and looked at the aftermath of the horde. To avoid the eyes of the dead, that will surely attack me once they saw me, I climb the roof and checked the situation on the ground. In the end, all of the survivors who defended were all killed and even the undead attacking are also sliced. The only one left behind standing is the ”Swordsman” standing in the middle of the corpses.

I observed the Swordsman and saw that this infected also eats as it’s long tongue appeared, and the mouth that is always closed opened and receiving the guts and body parts of the people and undead killed. It doesn’t use the hands since it is just blades, not a real hand. It relished on the feast as it devours the remaining guts slowly.

Looking at the time, I just realized that only a few minutes left before midnight is remaining before the screams at midnight once again occurs. With the Swordsman going passive, I grab the AR15, attached the scope and suppressor and positioned myself on the roof by lying in my belly to the roof. Positioning the gun and aimed, I waited for the right timing to strike.

Breathe in... breathe out...

11:58 P.M

...

11:59 P.M

...

Once my watch started beeping, the Swordsman that is eating and currently opening its mouth stopped mid air once the time struck 12 midnight. Putting my forefinger in the trigger, I aimed the gun right to the mouth. I only have 60 seconds to do this right. And turned the automatic lever to semi-auto.

I held my breath in, focused and keep my eyes on the target. Once my aim stabilized and the mouth of the target is now focused, I pulled the trigger and deliver a bullet to the mouth as an appetizer to the meal.

”Gochisousama-deshita”

BANG!
