Chương 27: ch. 27 Retreat
*GRAHH AAR-" hearing the loud scream, Nick ran over and spotted Beast ripping the throat out of a short and stocky looking mutant.
Around the stocky mutant's waist was a fresh bloody looking hide skin, as Nick got a closer look he realized it was the hide of the carters other German shepherd, Beauty!
Just as he came to this realization, Nick heard loud foot steps rushing towards him as he faced his HK416 into the darkness, turning on his thermal vision before firing.
The bullets tore into the mutant but Nick had no time to stop as more and more mutants began crawling out of the broken village like cockroaches and began running towards Nick.
Nick was like a machine without emotions, ruthlessly and meticulously harvesting the lives of the deformed mutants as they crawled out of the woodworks.
As the HK ran empty, Nick pulled out his Glock and began firing into the still rushing mutants. By now the corpses of 16 mutants littered the surroundings, some mutants having to jump over their bodies before they could get at Nick.
As the neverending stream of mutants began running after him, Nick was too preoccupied with defending himself to look up and see a small and thin mutant standing up on the decrepit house above him.
The thin mutant jumped off of the building with his knife in hand, only for Nick to spot him just in time to block the attack with his arm, blocking the mutant from stabbing his neck but cutting deep into his arm.
Nick lifted his pistol up and pulled the trigger shooting a bullet into its stomach, as he fired a second time, all that came out was the empty clicking sound of an empty chamber!
The mutant gritted through the pain of having its stomach shot as it lifted his knife out and prepared to stab Nick once again.
Nick tried grab his own knife but couldn't due to his injuried hand, he could only lift his hands up as a desperate block for the incoming the attack.
As the knife was brought up and was a half second away from sinking into Nick, a black blur appeared and rip the mutant off of him.
Looking over, Nick saw Beast was eviscerating the mutants faces as it's lips and nose was being ripped away. Nick quickly rolled forward and slammed his leg into the mutants hand, stopping it moments before it could stab the German shepherd in the stomach.
As if realizing it tried to kill him, Beast stopped going for the face and instead clamped around the mutants neck before the thing went limp from a single chomp of the dog.
'Fucking hell, why is there so many of them!' Quickly Stumbling upwards, Nick quickly reloaded his guns as he prepared for anymore mutants.
After a few seconds of silence, Nick asserted that is was safe at the moment and immediately began field dressing his wounds, his pistols at the ready should any more mutants show.
Using a spare cloth he had, Nick wrapped the wound tight before he spotted that Beast was no longer vicious looking but was instead staring at Beauty's hide with sadness in its eye.
Walking over, Nick gently took the German shepherds hide from the dirty mutants waist, gently folded it up and put it in his large chest pocket.
"I'll bring this back and have it buried but you need to stay neat Bobby and guard him."
Nick didn't know how, but beast genuinely seemed to understand Nick as it followed the smell of Bobby back to where he was hidden.
With Beast gone, Nick looked at the largest and last Illuminated house at the center of the village. Compared to the run down houses that were repaired with trash, this house was built completely from scrap!
Walking passed the trash and rotting food, Nick arrived at the window, which had obviously been torn out of a different house and peeked through. There he saw a dozen sturdy and tall freaks sitting on their knees Infront of an elderly female with a pimple on her face.
Nick saw a baby in her arms but besides that, Nick focused on the kneeling mutants and realized they were different than the others. Compared to the severely deformed and weakened mutants he previously fought, these one had powerful muscles on large frames which might give him trouble if they fought in close range.
The the elderly woman patted the baby with her wrinkly palm, her ugly mouth closed, and spoke a series of hoarse english.
"Don't mind the loud noise children your brethren with take care of it.....you have a more important task....You can't touch this girl but protect her .... When your new mother grows old and unable to create more family member....This one will take her place and be your new mother...."
Hearing this, anger once against washed over Nick's face as he felt a new level of disgust for the mutants.
Looking at the walls of the house, Nick knew that it had to have been built entirely of scrapped wood from the old houses made in the 1960. Realizing this, Nick walked away from the window and began circling the house, using his slightly enhanced ears to plan.
Stopping in the back of the house, Nick could hear the old woman croaking out orders the loudest in that spot and got ready.
Pulling out his pistol, Nick took a few steps back as the muscles in his legs bulged and he charged directly into the scrap house!
Nicks large body broke through the scrap wood as the surprised old woman looked up at Nick, only to see an iron barrel pointed straight at her...
*Bang*
Moving at full speed, Nick grabbed Catherine before she could hit the floor and immediately ran out through the hole leaving the bewildered mutants behind!
Seeing their beloved mother collapsed in the floor dead, the furious mutant men all stood up and chased Nick through the hole he created, which would be their last mistake!
With the crying Catherine having been put on the ground, Nick was waiting just outside the hole he created and used it as a choke point with his HK416!
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*.....
-----------
....*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
The two special Agents and swat team had finally climbing over the mountain to get to the location of where the woman's family supposedly was, only to hear the loud gunshots and see bright flashes of light in the middle of the destroyed village.
The face of the woman who had been leading them, Carter, had changed drastically.
"My child!" She shouted out as she ran down the rather steep mountain.
The two Agents watched the woman adeptly and nimbly rocket down the mountain at impressive speed, before they and the swat careful chased after her down the mountain.
By the time the woman had made it down, the gunshot had long since ceased firing for a few minutes. As the swat team arrived behind her, they had to covered their noses as they looked through the village.
It was deathly quiet besides the faint crackling of the fires, they walked through the village and spotted the dozens of dead and deformed humans as they continued to chase after the woman who was running ahead of them.
They followed the woman through the village until they arrived at the center of it and spotted a large building set ablaze, dozens of more dead bodies littered about it.
"W-who could've done such a thing!" One of the swat members said moments before puking.
Whether it was the gruesome sight, or the smell of burn flesh and iron in the air but all of the inexperienced swat members were on the verge of puking themself.
Standing in front of the burning house, Carter hid her flowing tears as she silently sobbed but fury engulfed her eyes!
The two Agents walked over to the dead mutant bodies and spotted a pile of empty shell casing but not a single body had a gun, making them realize that who did this was still alive.
The woman who had been silently crying, wiped her cheek, and completely hid all emotions on her face as she turned to the swat group.
At this moment, Nick, who was hiding in the dark, could see the situation of this group of unknown visitors.
'This must be my supposed reinforcements, but they look so disorganized!' Nick could see the fear in the swat teams eyes as their hands slightly trembled in fear at the dead mutants.
As Nick observed the group, he spotted the two special agent. Despite looking identical to the swat in their body armour, they stood confident and tall, their guns being a model he's never seen and their eyes radiated cold calculated logic.
The last person that Nick noticed was the one who made him the most surprised, the woman who had been leading them.
The way she walked, the way she moved her hands, the look in her eye, everything about her subconsciously raised danger in Nick's mind. Despite this, Nick turned his back on then and began running away.
In his left hand was the baby Catherine, his right hand the injured Bobby and Beast was chasing after them.
'My entire job is to inform the government about anomalies and have them solve the situation, I went above and beyond my duty mounting a rescue mission and killing dozens of anomalies! It's time for me to retreat and leave it to the professionals!'
Nick didn't even give that group a second thought as he ran back to the RV.
