81 A Night War
Two months after leaving the prison, Airon was able to gather a new group of more than seventy people and most of them had great combat skills, they were not only policemen but also former soldiers and all of them decided to follow him.
After a few days, outside a building, the captains of many squads under Airon's orders gathered for a meeting and they all started to hold their weapons tightly.
They all surrounded Airon with expectant eyes, each of them had recently joined his group, they all slowly understood that this man was someone worthy to follow and his plans would definitely propel them on a better path into the future.
Amongst the whole group worthily equipped, Jeffrey stood to the side with the fighters of his group of survivors who were now following Airon's direct orders. They all trusted one man, and Airon definitely had the confidence to solve this problem as soon as possible.
Airon looked at this group with a good amount of experience, all of them were wrapped in black tactical gear, some had their uniform combined with protective parts on some areas of their body, holding weapons in their hands, standing in one place, all fully armed ready for war.
Jeffrey, a leader who would lead his members of his group, looked up at the slowly setting sun and said, "Has everyone been briefed on what will be done today?"
Elias, who was standing next to him and looking at the whole situation from a different angle than Airon, looked down a little and said, "Our people at least are well informed, but in short today we will eliminate everyone from the community that is recently gaining influence in this part of the city."
"We have all found out that they are taking many people prisoner to the building, no need to mention what their intentions are, right? As our leader said, today will be something easy and after tonight incredible things will come for everyone."
"Very good!"
Jeffrey nodded with satisfaction, the first time Airon came to their shelter he thought it was another group similar to Dmitry's, but he was surprised and at the same time doubtful when he heard that he was uniting the nearby communities in Atlanta to start implementing a plan to somehow build back a hope to humanity.
A new future, with researchers, a large line of soldiers, inventory, food and weaponry to spare to fully arm an army, Jeffrey no doubt trusted Airon and said, "So, no change in our preparations?"
"I thought that we would need more than a hundred and fifty people to eliminate the enemy group, although our strength is strong, we should not underestimate the enemy strength which is really something to take into consideration."
It was then that Arion, who was silent and observing the situation from a corner, said, "We never underestimate our enemies, no matter if they are five or a hundred, if we are going to attack tonight, we need not once again consider their strength, am I correct?"
"You are correct, sir!"
Speaking of this, Airon's cold and authoritative gaze looked at everyone and said, "I found them, I gave them my hand and now they are here, many lost their wife or were affected in some way similar to what those bastards are doing right now to all those people. I've always told them, the walkers are not the only thing we should be afraid of."
"People were forced to make decisions based on their heart, we made ours and if we compare them, there is definitely a future on our side. I don't justify the blood on my hands, I have never regretted everything I have done so far and I hope you don't either."
Hearing these words, the expressions of all of Airon's followers except for Jeffrey's people were filled with a common sentiment, they have all suffered and bled in this world that was suddenly destroyed, so they are willing to give their all to be the ones to rebuild it.
"We're with you, boss!"
"Let's finish those fuckers off!"
Airon's eyes cooled, he looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Since we're all ready, let's eliminate some pests that need not be taken into account for our future."
"Yes sir!"
Everyone began to get into the cars, Jeffrey was amazed at Airon's abilities to communicate with his followers. Without understanding how, he also felt there was a better way if they all followed him for now.
...
On the outskirts in a large building, a large shelter with armed men was celebrating the great harvest they made that day. They were all smiling and shouting without fear of the walkers hearing the noises caused in this place, after all they had sealed off the streets with chain link fences and big buses behind them.
"Hahaha, I don't know who the fucking psycho was that alerted all the walkers in the city, but we should thank him." A man with a long beard couldn't help but voice his thoughts.
"Yeah, if it wasn't for that son of a bitch who called all the walkers, we couldn't have looted all those resources and weaponry the military left behind!"
"It's unfortunate that today it's our turn to guard the outside of our shelter, right now I'd like to be enjoying all the wonders that life has to offer us."
"Hahaha! You're a fucker who only thinks with your head down, stop talking bullshit."
At the same time, in the distance and in all directions, numerous figures are slowly approaching the shelter of these people.
After everyone was in their positions, there was a sound that broke the silence throughout the city. This sound was heard more than a kilometer away but it aroused everyone's attention.
This kind of sound alerted everyone's attention in Dmitry's shelter, everyone instinctively grabbed their weapons and looked around not knowing exactly what was going on.
"Everyone stop eating shit and get ready!"
At that moment, an old man, who was wearing a military suit, rushed over, looked at the stunned crowd around him and waved his big hand to give a command.
This powerful command caused everyone to wake up from a dream, immediately causing everyone to start preparing according to the defense command that had been arranged earlier.
And just as everyone in the shelter was getting ready, in the less protected general street of the shelter, hundreds of walkers appeared and were drawn directly into their shelter.
"Undead at the front!"
"This is impossible! How the hell did they get past the fence that kept these walkers from approaching?"
Exclamations of surprise came from all around the outside of the building, no one could understand how these walkers got past all the defenses they had in the street to keep these walkers from advancing that far.
"I told fucking Dmitry that fence was a bad fucking idea! You, you piece of shit, go and warn Dmitry that we are being overrun by walkers!" Said the old man in a military suit.
"Yes sir!"
Back to the situation, about thirty men grabbed a series of shields and stood in front of the walkers ready to take them out without wasting ammunition on them.
"Come on, let's take these pieces of meat out!"
The eyes of the old man in military uniform looked at the quick movements of his people and nodded with satisfaction, no one in this group was afraid of the walkers and he was glad of that. However, among the crowd of walkers there was something that caught his attention. There were some figures that stopped among the walkers, and when he took a closer look, his blood froze completely.
In the middle of the small horde of walkers, there were about a dozen figures holding a rifle in their hands. These rifles were slowly raised and pointed at the enemies, and without anyone noticing, they prepared to open fire.
From an unknown location, Airon raised his radio and said, "Strike team, start eliminating the enemies!"
"They are not all walkers, there are people among them!"
The voice of the old man in the military uniform came out as a roar, and the people who lined up to eliminate the walkers were completely shocked.
"What are you saying?"
However, there was no time to react. In the crowd of walkers, gunshots roared and bullets, like meteors, tore through the walkers in the middle and roared toward the people who were preparing to eliminate the walkers.
But when the bullets flew toward the front, the people holding a ballistic shield from the front were blocked by the metal shield and the dazzling sparks shot out in an instant. Although a bullet could not do much to this kind of problematic shield, a series of bullets surged thickly from the front and the ballistic shield in the hands of these people were slowly brought back.
While these people were holding back the bullets, everyone was confused and could not react to what was happening, more than a dozen figures fell to the ground in a mist of blood. Numerous people were eliminated in a matter of seconds and without much difficulty.
Meanwhile, the group that still remained with ballistic shields in their hands could not help but stop and duck to the ground, they all gathered together and immediately began to approach the people firing at them as they prepared to repel the fire.
But as the distance shortened, the power of the bullets also continued to increase, although the processed metal shield was tough, it could not withstand such frequent attacks and cracks began to appear.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
With one more burst of bullets, one of the shields could not withstand the continuous impact of the bullets and soon enough shrapnel ripped through the ballistic shield. Before many people could react to what was happening, they were pierced by numerous bullets and their limp bodies fell to the ground, but some even had their shields tightly gripped in their hands.
Soon, many people began to come out of the building with large ballistic shields in their hands and began to repel the enemy.
Seeing this, the people who were among the walkers took a step back and another line with similar shields covered their bodies so that the walkers would not be injured.
In such a situation, there were two lines of ballistic shields, one coming from Dmitry's people and the other from Airon's group, and soon bullets were being fired along the street, eliminating numerous walkers in turn.
All the personnel in Dmitry's shelter were puzzled, obviously there were walkers in their shelter, but how could these walkers be holding guns?
However, someone behind Dmitry's group obviously began to lead the people, and soon they began to return volleys of bullets to the attacking group. Although Dmitry's lined up group was able to withstand the attack, obviously many began to be taken out with head shots.
Even so, Dmitry's people were obviously well prepared and began to come out from different sides of the building, and none of the people in this group chose to back down, just like the suicide attacks they launched earlier.
Airon's small group of twelve people definitely could not continuously withstand the onslaught of the numerous people exiting the building and slowly began to retreat.
Some vehicles began to leave the subway parking lot of the building and machine guns behind the vans began to open fire in the direction of the attack group.
Just as the situation was turning in favor of Dmitry's group, in the distance, in a building more than five hundred meters away, a number of people with anti-tank sniper rifles lined up and aimed at Dmitry's people.
Airon gave an order and the anti-tank rifles began to open fire. "My condolences, obediently accept your fate!"
