Chapter Twenty-Eight: Temporary Teaming
"Old Jack, haven't you tried to evacuate a residential building here before?"
"Yes, yes, but only when those monsters invaded the building—"
The nightingale on one side heard the conversation between the two, and she interrupted Old Jack with an anxious expression.
"Mr. Officer, if that's the case, it's too late."
"Then it's useless for you to tell me. We all knocked on the door from house to house, and there were only a few people who went out to take refuge. The rest of the people started to take refrigerators, tables and chairs out to block the door, and they wouldn't listen to the evacuation instructions. ”
"Can we use some strong tactics?"
"Hehe, someone tried it before, but the monsters in the Rusty River haven't come yet, but we have started with the guys here. Seeing that there were no small holes in the window, they had shot a cold gun from there a few years ago, and pierced a police officer's head. ”
Old Jack spoke, taking a cigarette out of his pocket and smoking. His own safety is the most important thing for him, even if he is criticized afterwards than being carried away in a bag.
And the xenophobia of the residents here is so strong that Nightingale didn't expect it, originally she thought that after the residents here are gone, the second front of the FAC will be set up here to block the mad monster that the first front missed.
"Miss Nightingale, are you planning to use the residential buildings here as a basis to help the FAC companions build a second front?"
The nightingale, who was suddenly asked, nodded. Kyle replied in the affirmative, and then asked:
"Did you do that a few years ago, or even longer?"
"Yes, after the accident at Carnival Park, the monsters that escaped there went all the way down the Rusty River and affected the residents near the Rusty River. Therefore, in order to minimize the damage, the FAC urgently requisitioned the buildings and rooms here. ”
Kyle sighed, while the FAC's actions were understandable, it meant that the residents here were the only damage.
At that time, they followed the instructions and left their home, only to return to find that their home had been destroyed, and the FAC's compensation after the incident was estimated to have been swallowed by some moths.
Kyle reasoned to Nightingale, stating that the problem here was a legacy of history and could not be solved in a short period of time.
"There's nothing this can do."
"Yes, but if your home is destroyed, who can accept the statement that 'there is no way'? Anyway, right now - we can't get them to leave early. ”
"Yes, this is all because your FAC did not do well in the past, and it has nothing to do with us. This is the remnant of your creation—uh, history—problems! ”
Old Jack was still struggling with what excuse to slip away, but he didn't expect Kyle, a newcomer, to suddenly find a reason to dump the pot on the FAC, and it seems that these young people who like to drop their book bags are not so annoying.
"So be it, Miss Nightingale. Since the people here don't want to go, we block the front door with police cars and set up a simple barricade at the front door as the first line of defense against the mad monsters. ”
Hearing that the self-asserted Kyle actually said such a dangerous thing, the old Jack, who was about to praise him just now, immediately pulled him aside, and shouted in a low voice:
"I said a long time ago that the matter of the battle was handed over to them FAC, we were only responsible for the evacuation! Do you want to be like Chelsea Earl again? If you want to be a hero again, don't take me with you. ”
"But now that less than 10 people have been evacuated from this residential building that is living in hundreds of people, the FAC has been held accountable afterwards, who do you think will be the first to suffer?"
"It's—even if you don't have a job, it's better than losing your life!"
Kyle shook his head, still with a blank face at Old Jack, but Old Jack always felt that the kid was smiling.
"Don't worry, if you want to say that the degree of sparing your life is not lower than yours, the main force of this battle will still not be us, I have already found the strongest reinforcements."
Old Jack, who was full of questions, was thinking about whether to drive away directly in the police car, but after seeing Kyle, who had already moved out of the Heteromorphic Crystal Stabilizer, the Nightingale with two guns ready to go, and the mad monster that was gradually approaching here, he knew that he couldn't go if he wanted to.
"Stinky boy, I'll believe you once."
Old Jack said so, but after he took out a rifle from the trunk, he went straight to the top floor, and did not stay on the first floor with Kyle Nightingale.
Nightingale looked at old Jack, who was afraid of death, and then at Kyle, who was calm, and after some consideration, she stayed by Kyle's side, and even she didn't realize it herself - now she had obeyed Kyle's orders.
"Officer Kyle, I didn't expect there to be a brave officer like you in the police substation, you are more like a police officer than that Officer Jack."
"Miss Nightingale, do you think old Jack is a coward, and that he is more dangerous when he stays at the top?"
Without waiting for Nightingale to reply, Kyle said as he checked the state of his firearm:
"The condescending view was better able to support us, and he had equipment for rappelling. Old Jack's brain was slow, but he wasn't stupid. So—"
Syllable!
Kyle patted Nightingale on the shoulder, signaling that she didn't have to be so nervous.
"Is this your first time fighting?"
"No — it's just the first time we've taken on the responsibility of protecting an entire residential building, and there's only three of us on our side. Sorry, Officer Kyle, I don't have a problem. ”
The nightingale quickly calmed down, and instead of paying attention to the others, he was preoccupied with the pollutant that was close to it.
And the frenzied monster that the FAC fighters at the forefront missed were rushing towards this place at this time, and instinctively felt a large number of living people grinning hoarsely towards the front door blocked by the police car. Born in a highly polluted area, this small beast had little brains, and slammed into the muzzles of Nightingale and Kyle, and the moment the monsters were affected by the Heterocrystalline Stabilizer, the bullets from the pistol shattered their heads.
"Stand back, Miss Nightingale."
"Understood."
Although the two of them killed a lot of Doom at the beginning, their ammunition was limited, and the two who retreated to the back of the police car picked up their shotguns and repelled a wave of Doom that ran forward. The monsters with missing wings climbed onto the walls of the building, and were killed by the condescending Old Jack as they climbed upwards.
Kyle followed the rhythm of the nightingale, and the two of them took the initiative to force the doomers together, and then controlled them with a shock bomb, and directly took them away in a wave.
"Is it over?"
Kyle stepped back from his magazine, and the distant smell of blood made him shake his head.
"It seems that the impact of the Shock Wave of Madness is much greater than expected. There are at least two more waves of the same number of enemies. ”
"What!? But we don't have enough ammunition to deal with so many dooms. ”
"I know that as long as we hold out until reinforcements arrive, the residents here and we will be safe."
