Chapitre 60: Grand Thief Auto
Chapter 60 – Grand Thief Auto
The explosive chain reaction of the missile truck and the spare missiles destroyed three other trucks and the crews around them, causing massive damages to the government side.
It shocked both sides on the battlefield.
The crews of the remaining six trucks were panicked and stopped what they were doing. They looked around in the dark night as they thought that it would be their turn next.
"S-Should we retreat? I-It's an ambush."
…
The commander of the government army, the mustache man, gazed at the flame and the smoke while he smoothed his curly mustache.
"A marvelous sneak attack. Bravo!"
The aide of the commander whispered to him while his voice was still cracking, "Sir, we have already lost almost half of our army from fighting the mutants alone. Now, we're dealing with the wandering monsters and the ambush at the same time. We won't have a chance in this battle. Please send the retreat order!"
The mustache commander smiled. He looked like a kind and harmless uncle that children would have fallen in love with him as a grandfather.
*BANG*
A bullet went through his aide's forehead. It was from the gun in the mustache commander.
The surrounding soldiers glared at the commander and aimed their guns at him, thinking that he was a mad man.
Instead of panicking, the mustache commander smiled.
"A breaking news, gentlemen, our scientists have found the right formula to produce the vaccines, but we need a large amount of the blood of these mutants. If we have enough blood, we can produce vaccines for all of our citizens! We are talking about the cure of the HV disease! We can end this hydra virus outbreak by getting our hands on the blood of these mutants! My humble warriors, for the sake of the future of mankind, we must obtain the blood of these mutants at all costs!"
"A cure?"
"Really?"
The commander affirmed, "That's correct, gentlemen! We can end this apocalypse with this battle! Bring me their blood and their corpses, and I'll give you and your family the vaccines as a bonus!"
In this era, scientists found solutions to eliminate more than half of the viruses, but the deadliest one, the hydra virus, did not have a cure or a solution for the treatment.
In the public eyes, anyone infected with the HV was as good as dead. Because of the untreatable disease, they saw the sources of this infection as the threat of humanity.
The queen eggs, the mutants, and the green zombies are mankind's nemesis that they had to eradicate from the planet earth!
Suddenly, a promise of the vaccine came from the mouth of their commander. As one of the big-wigs in the government, the soldiers thought of the mustache man as an insider that knew more information than them.
Hope appeared in their eyes. They overlooked his cruel action but cheered for his leadership instead.
"For the cure!"
"Get the rebels!"
The moral of his soldiers skyrocketed, yet none of them knew about the commander's real motive.
'For my immortality and the dragon's bloodline, fight for me, work ants!"
…
Meanwhile, Misha was oblivious to all the commotion that she had caused. She stared at her status window with an agape mouth.
She had reached level 52 and completed half of her tutorial quest because of the missile explosion chain reaction.
Her thought was in chaos, but she had a new inspiration in the middle of the short-circuited processing within her brain.
'If I explode more trucks, will I get more EXP?'
Killing intent and flame of greed sparked in Misha's eyes. She glanced at her used RPG launcher.
'This is for one-time use. I don't have spare ammo for this.'
She hung the RPG behind her back and switched out the AM Rifle.
'I doubt that I can ignite an explosion by shooting AP rounds at a missile. I need Incendiary rounds.'
Her glowing yellowish snake eyes turned to the APCs and the reserve soldiers that were fighting with the green zombies.
Five squads of soldiers boarded their APCs, planning of coming toward her direction because of the explosion.
Misha dashed away from her location to avoid the pursuing forces, but she did not run toward her side.
She rushed to the nearest surviving missile truck!
'I need ammo and more weapons!'
She warmed up her long tongue and tapped her chest to remind Tama.
"Tama, nom-nom time."
*Nom-Nom!?* (Food!?)
Yellowish tentacle with an eye burst out of Misha's chest and looked around.
*Nom?* (Where's da food?)
"Soon. Get ready because I will be quick."
*Mew!* (I'm ready!)
With the help of exoskeleton, Misha arrived at another missile truck.
As the crews were still in shock that one of the trucks exploded, they did not prepare for a sudden visitor. They stared at Misha with petrified legs as they forgot what they should do in this situation.
*PU*
*PU*
<<You have killed a Mafdet soldier.>>
<<You have gained 1,000 EXP.>>
The tongue of Misha penetrated into the brain of a crew member while Tama dug its tentacle into his heart, draining his blood.
While her hands were free, she stole the handgun on the crew's holster. The dead soldier did not carry any other weapon, but Misha was satisfied.
Pulling her tongue and Tama's tentacle out of the dead body, Misha started hunting. The stolen pistol muzzle pointed at the other crews.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
Three soldiers went down, but the gunshot woke the remaining five members from their trance. They pulled their pistol to shoot back at Misha.
Before they could shoot, Misha threw the dead body at the soldiers, and it collided with two crew members. She dashed along with the thrown corpse and appeared in the middle of the group.
*MYAAA!*
Tama dug four holes out of Misha's back. Four yellow tentacles exited through her back and pierced the hearts of four soldiers.
"That hurts, Tama. Oh well …"
*BANG*
Misha shot the last crew.
She gazed at the truck, which had been armed with a missile without an owner. This missile launcher had a towing trailer, which carried spared weapons with loading tools.
"I can get 5,000 EXP from destroying this, but will I get extra jellies if I GTA this truck back to the base?"
*Mew!* (Steal this and get those jellies!)
"Indeed. It's time to bail, too. They will come and hunt us soon."
Tama was also a quick learner. As fast as it could, Tama drained the blood of the corpses before it withdrew all tentacles back to its body without hindering Misha.
As Misha glanced to the direction of the dead zombies and the exploded trucks, the government reserve troops were inspecting the location, and a few of them were looking at her current location. They might have noticed the gunfire earlier.
Misha connected the trailer with the truck before she hopped on the driver seat. The exoskeleton was getting in her way, so she unequipped it and placed the suit by her side along with her rifle and RPG.
Several monitors on the windshield of the truck dazzled her.
"Eh, too many info. I only need to drive!"
Misha started the engine and stepped on the gas pedal.
*VRRR*
She spun the wheel. The truck and the trailer dashed into the dark night without opening the headlamps as Misha did not need light to see in the dark.
The truck engine alarmed the investigating soldiers that were checking at the damaged site. They put on the night goggle to look at the direction of the truck.
"An enemy is stealing our truck!"
All squads jumped into their APCs. It flashed the spotlights of their vehicles and chased after Misha's truck.
…
Meanwhile, Crystal could see everything from the real-time images of her satellite from the beginning to the end.
Crystal had noticed how Misha ran away from the zombies, and she planned to rescue her. She ordered Zeris to come back instead of helping the harvesters, so Thorn could flank the enemies and get Misha out of the mess.
However, Misha's performance exceeded her expectation. She destroyed four missile trucks, and she was about to steal one back to their side.
"What a naughty kid."
Crystal laughed. She pressed the intercom to inform Tautog and his crews.
"Tautog squad, pay attention to the battlefield and look for a runaway truck. One of our support soldiers has launched a sneak attack at the backline of the enemy just now. She's stealing one of the missile trucks from the enemies, so be sure not to shoot her and escort them back to the base. Secondly, I've instructed Zeris to join the battle to help you, so he should be there in a minute."
Dolphin, on the other side, widened his eyes, "What!? Since when?"
"Did you see a train of zombie earlier? That was her work."
"That weirdo!? Seriously!?"
"She's talented. Make sure you get her back in one piece. Also, I've deployed the reserves to rescue your teammates."
"Roger that, chief!"
