Chapter 56: Infiltration
Chapter 56: Infiltration
Leo and Shalltear observed the conversation of the guards from above. The boy sensed several awakened within the building and hoped the girls could hold back their presence long enough until he finds a way in. Otherwise, it might already be a bloodbath inside without the chance to find out more information about the organization. With the girls from the dormitory here, the difference in strength between the two forces was already too great.
The original plan was to simply do a frontal assault in surprise once they located the enemy base; however, the three girls acting as captives were confident enough to head inside themselves and scout the dwelling first. They hadn’t forgotten the side mission of rescuing the children and other survivors.
Just to be safe, Leo and Shalltear will also try to sneak inside as extra pair of eyes within the enemy base. Once the time is right, the boy will signal the women outside for a full assault while they cause havoc and distract the enemies from within. But for now, girls will be on standby duty.
The enemies tried to bar off all the windows and other entrances to the hospital, but Shalltear simply controlled a mutated zombie to bust down the walls while they sneaked past inside. No one from the organization suspected they had been infiltrated a second time after they took care of the mutated zombie.
Hiding besides the vent, Leo finally felt the thrill of stealth like he was going full bat man. Following a certain important looking man, the boy and the maid arrived at a peculiar room. From the tight security around the room; it might be where the organization kept all their captives. Leo and Shalltear took down several guards in silence but did not hide the corpse; it was only matter of time that they were going to be found anyway.
After sneaking into the room using someone else’s keycard, Leo was relief at the fact the security here was rather simple compared to the movies. There was a giant window that viewed down from above to an expansive space just a floor below. However, before the boy could take a look, he had to continue to hide behind some cabinet.
“These things had been eating less and less recently, I think it’s almost time for the harvest.” claimed Monitor A, judging from his senior experiences at the place.
“We just got a new batch of livestock today and we don’t have the fresh zombies ready. Can’t believe there is a day when we have more livestock than zombies.” said Monitor B.
“It had become harder to find normal stray zombies. They usually group up together and forming a horde. The stray zombies are only the mutated ones, which are harder to catch.” Monitor A shrugged and explained.
“Say, shouldn’t our shift have ended already? Why hasn’t the next shift come?” Monitor B complained.
While eavesdropping the conversation, Shalltear looked at her master.
“I can sense many of my kind down in that place. Although they are all really weak, to the point of being useless for their level.” The little maid whispered.
Knocking out two monitors that were on duty, Leo finally witnessed the atrocity behind the bullet proof window. There was a feast of blood and gore. A batch of zombies were ruthlessly devouring on the corpses of survivors they captured these past several weeks. Some humans were still alive, screaming for help, as the zombies slowly chewed off their flesh.
If the monitors were still conscious, they would have pointed out the level of gore today were rather mild. When the zombies were hungry like a week ago, then that was the intensity of image that will haunt your dreams.
Leo steeled his soul and calmly watched the brutality before him; it felt like just the first day when the black mist appeared. The scenery at the department store was much similar to this. Despite being completely calm on his demeanor, the boy’s fist still clenched.
Shalltear had an indifferent face, this occurrence was just another day in the office for the former zombie king. She even had tasted blood herself; but of course, the little maid will not be bringing that up ever in front of the family.
——————————-
The awakened captives at the hospital were injected with drugs to obscure their conscious before locking them up in a confined room individually. The infiltrators overheard that awakened livestock were all transported to HQ as demanded by the organization. Fortunately, the three girls acted as normal humans and did not receive any special treatment. Along with Timmy, they were locked with the rest of the captives captured from before in a large cafe.
Surprisingly, the captives were treated relatively well. They were served with warm soup and food the moment they got settled down. According to the janitor, the things liked them to be pump and meaty; hence, the foods here were added with chemical that induces fatness.
The three girls sighed in relief, good thing they didn’t touch the food. Timmy, however, spill the soup from his mouth the moment he heard the janitor. Sharon continued to gossip around with the janitor and the rest of the captives to find any relevant information; especially on the intel of a man in white suit. The girls knew that this base was probably just one of many that the organization has; it will be very profitable if they can find the locations of the rest of the bases in this place.
Soon, the ladies felt the time was right from the panicking expression of the guards. The location of the captives was already known and they had a clear gauge at the enemy defenses. The girls each broke their restrained, killed the guards and wreaked havoc as they escaped the room. They left the rest of the captives be as they wanted to draw the enemy’s attention on themselves.
Timmy also took the opportunity to escape the room himself to look for Reina. He waited for the chaos to begin before he moved out.
Sarah and Sharon each went their own separate ways and purposely kept distance from one another, while Lily stealthily went to look for Leo. The two ability users stood at the center of their respective ground, waiting for the enemies to catch up. Once Sarah and Sharon were surrounded, they blew their AOE ultimate skills and obliterated the thugs in masses.
Electric arcs bloomed in spikes around Sarah, electrocuting anyone that entered the hallway, normal and awakened alike. The air was tense as the thug watched the ball of lightning walked towards them, impending their doom.
The sister took out a coin and attempted to mimic a railgun. Accelerated by electro-magnetism under the buzzling sound of electricity, the coin launched from her fingertip and projected at an incredible speed. However, the dramatic visual effect was there, but the power felt short. The coin feebly landed on a man’s chest and disappointedly fell to the ground. Yet, the man collapsed onto his butt as well, because it looked too damn scary and he almost wetted his pants. That was a 9.6 of 10 for visuals.
Sharon, the queen of ice, was providing free air conditioning to the hospital patients. Cold winds could be felt distances away from the woman. The ground she treaded became artic as she froze any thugs that came remotely close to her.
The guards achieved godlike teamwork as they surrounded Sharon at an open intersection while keeping a safe distance. They all fired their guns simultaneously at the woman under the command of a certain awakened. Sharon conjured an ice dome and blocked all incoming projectiles. Then as the bullet barrage stopped, the ice dome collapse within the icy mist and barrage of icicles were shot in all directions, returning the favor to the fullest.
The two ladies in the house had been competing on the extend they could use their abilities, and so far, Sharon was still coming out on top in terms of proficiency.
—————————
Leo returned to the shadows with his maid as soon he knew that the enemy found out the corpses outside. He quietly escaped the place, but soon heard the tremor caused by Sarah and Sharon somewhere nearby.
“I guess it’s time.” Leo muttered and took out the radio. “Commence the attack.”
It didn’t take long for chaos to engulfed the entire hospital, the force under Leo’s command were thinning out the numbers of guards every second with no casualties of their own. The organization branch was quickly crumbling under the pressure of being attacked from inside and outside. Leaving the “clean up” duty to the women, Leo continued to explore the depth of the hospital.
In this kind of situation, Leo expected the organization to have some kind of secret passage for escape or a secret room full of classified information. The boy tried to locate the strongest enemy within the hospital with his sense as he explored building. The most powerful guys were usually the important figures.
————————–
“Boss, Zach and Tiger had already been killed! We are done for.” A thug shouted in panic.
Sarah and Sharon each met the respective awakened group lead, but of course, even with the numbers advantage, they were brutally decimated. Without the captains on the ground to fight, the whole battle between the organization and the girls was already a one-sided slaughter.
The man in white suit was still at shock by the pace in which the situation was developing. Within minutes before he knew, his whole defenses were shattered and most of his men died. It was almost impossible for him to react in any way that could have changed the outcome. The man in white accepted defeat and planned for an escape.
Conveniently, there was an item he obtained last week that will help him do just that. The boss checked at a certain robe in his drawer.
—————————
While venturing aimlessly around the hallways, Leo found Timmy being chased by one of the guards. The boy was carrying Reina who was still unconscious due to the drug injection. Destiny and fate allowed him to find the girl and easily rescued her. Timmy was brave as he took on several wounds on his body in order to protect his first love; fortunately, he was saved by Leo the last minute in one piece.
Too be frank, by this point, going out of his way to save Reina was unnecessary. The girls were already winning the fights. As long they knew the captives were safe and their whereabouts known, rescuing them was not a problem. “But hey, it is the effort that counts.” Leo thought watching Timmy with Reina on his back.
Well, soon, Leo became the one that carried Reina as Timmy were too battered to do so. Shalltear turned the corpse of the guard on the ground into a zombie and carried Timmy. The little maid was not touching any man besides her master; anyone besides master and his women were still considered lowly humans to her eye.
Just as Timmy felt unconscious from his wound, Reina woke up to the overwhelming male presence of Leo for being on his back. The girl opened her eye and her face turned slightly red knowing she was being carried by a handsome young man. Her bottom was also feeling itchy, but she was able to ignore that at the moment.
“Who are you? And where are you carrying me?” The last thing she recalled was being injected with the drug, she had no recollection of what happened.
“I am Leo and we are bringing you outside. My friend Timmy saved you, but he also collapsed from his injuries.” Leo tried to give credit to his bro, but Reina was more interested in the man carrying her him now.
“Timmy did, huh? I will thank him properly later. But there was no way he could’ve done it alone. I will have to thank you guys too.” Reina saw several girls from the dormitory she knew murdering the thugs down the hallway. Leo and the little maid behind him were emitting powerful presence. The girl was smart and pretty much understood what was happening in such short span of time.
