-"Choose your weapons."- Mike pointed at the shelves in a warehouse.-"Take what you think may best suit you"
-"For real?"-Alex was just staring in awe.
-"Yeah for real"-Zibi slapped him at the back of his head.-"Move! I want to shoot something and you are in the way."
Alex only showed the middle finger and run towards shelves with big guns. His choice was obvious. Simple and durable, so after a minute, he was carrying Saiga-12, WKW Tor sniper rifle, RPK, Vis, and MSBS.
-"Why does this not surprise me at all?"- Mike held his forehead.
-"I am ready"-Zibi`s choice was simple too. High damage and high precision. Which meant that he had his beloved Mossberg MVP-LR and Magnum 44. Aside from that, he had MSBS bullpup.
-"You know that you can modify MSBS into a sniper rifle?"-Mike looked at the ceiling and yawned.
-"We can?"-Alex was surprised.
-"Idiot. Let's go"- They followed Mike, and left the warehouse.
They entered the sports hall which now looked like an underground shooting range.
-"Now dear ladies, take your place in the boxes, pick up your handgun and disassemble it. You have one minute."-Mike took out a stopwatch and their training started. Before they could fire their guns they had to disassemble, clear them and assemble them thousand times each. In the end, they did not even need to look at their hands. Unsurprisingly Zibi had no problem with this task, but Alex couldn`t manage such small parts and he occasionally broke them.
After a few days of training, they could finally vent their accumulated stress. Mike make them shoot all kinds of targets. From the imitation of animals to mannequins of aliens. At some point, it looked like a scene from Predator when the squad is shooting everywhere in hopes to hit the Predator.
-"Alright, that is enough. We are moving to the next stage. Indoor scenarios."-Mike flicked his finger and the hall changed into a multistory labyrinth of tight corridors and dark rooms.-"You have to defuse the bomb that is somewhere in there. Do not worry, you will be able to recognize it."-Mike smile gave them goosebumps.-"Now change into this."-He pointed at SWAT uniforms. He had a complete set for each one of them.
-"SWAT? Don't you have BOA uniforms?"-Alex was grumbling as usual.
Mike did not care about Alex opinion.-"You ready?"-Both nodded. Zibi took Magnum and MSBS while Alex had Saiga-12 and ViS. Mike opened the door for them and invited them inside.-"By the way. That bomb is heavily guarded so, take care of yourself."- He shut the door with a BANG.
Alex looked around and sniffed around-"I got a bad feeling about this, you know?"-He scratched the back of his helmet.
-"Do not worry, I got your back"-Zibi put his left hand on Alex right shoulder.-"Cyka Blyat Rush B!"
-"Hel yeah!"-Alex checked his Saiga and started to walk in a quick pace.-"You know. I would like to have a shield."
-"Be quiet. I can not focus."
-"Doors on the left."- Alex stopped Zibi in his track.-"I will check, cover me."- He slowly walked towards the doors with weapon ready to shoot. When he was right behind the door Alex did something stupid. He shoulder bashed them. When the doors fell he announced his presence to everyone in the labyrinth by screaming-"GLEBA! (Eng.: To the ground!) GLEBA! GLEBA!"- There was no one inside. -"Room clear."
-"Idiot. Did had to be so loud?"-Zibi stood outside the room, near the entrance ready to shoot.
-"I am not good in covert operations. Besides, you told me to Rush B."- Alex checked the room for anything useful. Inside he found two flashbangs, two HE grenades and additional magazines for their weapons.-"Nice."-He put one flash and one HE in one of the many pockets of his tactical vest, and gave the rest to Zibi. When they were ready they started to move again until they saw a fork. -"Zibi, where are we going?"
-"Remeber, never go left. Only evil peopled do that."
-"I think you are right. Close your eyes."- Alex threw a flashbang inside the left corridor. When it exploded they saw a silhouette of something that was charging at them. It`s head suddenly exploded when Alex pulled the trigger.-"To the right, MOVE!"-Both moved at the same time, Zibi never took his hand out of Alex's shoulder.
-"What was that?"- Zibi asked as they were slowly moving forward.
-"I am not sure, but normal reaction when a flashbang explodes 10 cm away from your face you should normally be stunned, but that did not happen with that thing."
-"Alex, analysis."
-"Eeee? Zombie?"
-"Do not be stupid it is impossible. Zombies do not exist."-Zibi looked behind him.-"Alex! Do you remember those light novels that you always read?"
-"Yeah."
-"Could you tell me the definition of Orc?"-Zibi stopped and took aim.
-"There are 3 kinds of Orcs. The first kind is the one and only LOTR kind, Urk-hai etc.. Second, are big green monsters. They look like they forgot a leg day but their arms are as thick as logs. They have overgrown lower jaw and big fangs. You know, WoW, WH40k. The third kind is pigheads, I do not know why they call them Orcs, they more fit to the category of beastman since they are a crossbreed of human and pig."
-"Which kind is the most dangerous?"
-"The most intelligent are Urk-hai, but they are only as strong as a bear. Later are pigheads, their intelligence varies from specimen to specimen but they sometimes display great thing in terms of physical or magical power. The most dangerous are WH40k Orcs since they always...
-"So pig heads are not so bad of an enemy."
-"Well, they can eat anything since they are half pigs but yeah out of them they are probably easiest to kill, just like a boar..."-Alex couldn't finish because someone started to shoot.
Zibi loved to hunt. Especially boars, they were his favorite kind of target because there was an overpopulation and he could hunt them anytime. Now when he saw bipedal boars walking at him with killing intent he was overjoyed.-"ALEX! COVER ME! Now come to papa! Papa will eat you all!"- Pigheads were startled when they meet with such violence. Besides overall excitement Zibi`s aim was perfect. Every bullet hit a vital point without damaging a trophy or meat. Soon all Pigheads died and there was nothing to shoot at.
-"And you are telling me that I am too loud."-Alex admired the pile of corpses.
-"What? It has been a lot of time since I could hunt these vermins. Besides they were going to attack us so we had to deal with them."
-"I have no words for that. Let's go."-Alex started to move again. -"I have one request. Leave being dumb and violent to me. Okay?"
-"Okay, okay?"
The labyrinth seemed to be endless. It`s interiors varied from industrial to luxury villas and sometimes it was just a wall of leaves. While walking they entered countless rooms, they were usually empty but sometimes they housed a miniboss. Once they found an Ogre who swept Alex with one hand and hit a wall with him. Zibi tried to help his friend but the Ogre skin seemed to be bulletproof.
-"Shoot in the ass!"-Alex said with a low voice.
Zibi immediately devised a new tactic. He threw a flashbang at Ogre. It blinded him for a second. It was enough for Zibi to shove the barrel of his MSBS deep into monster`s ass. Ogre insides were shredded to pieces. Zibi spat at the dead body.-"Dumb dick."
-"Oi, Captain, could you help me? I think I am stuck indie that wall."-Alex tried to move but he was immobilized.
-"First tell. Why in the ass."- Zibi took a step back from his friend.
-"Ehhh. Skin is one of the strongest tissues of our body, but you can not say the same about insides. To that, the weakest tissue is that of your intestine that is near the anus. You have your answer, now come and help me, you moron."
Zibi ripped Alex out of the wall and started their walk again.
They were walking for hours without a break, adding to that constant threat of sudden attack made them dead tired. Alex gave up first. He was thirsty, hungry and angry so when pigheads attacked again he was first to intercept them. He charged at them with his shotgun. He emptied full mag in a few seconds, but he forgot that pigheads had big bodies so every shell went into one specimen. The rest was unhurt. These did not stop Alex at all, he grabbed his bayonet and with a roar rushed again. At this point, he looked bigger than most of them. That struck fear in his enemies who started to flee. It was futile because Zibi sniped them all. When the group was finished they started to search for food. They did not find anything but they found a map. It led them to the pighead village when they saw a small community. There were elders, small piglets, warriors etc. But all Zibi and Alex could see was a big fire with meat on a stick.
-"You think that killing them is bad?"-Zibi looked at his friend.
-"I can give you tons of reasons to kill them. Want some?"-Alex was drolling
-"Not taken from hentai when they rape and eat the princess?"
-"I heard that these pigheads are delicious, especially the small ones."- Alex checked his gun. -"And they are guilty of countless rapes and being called an Orc while they are really only pigheads."
-"Racist."-Zibi checked his gun too.
-"No, I am not a racist. I do not hate one kind of people. Like only Jews or Blacks. I hate everyone equally."- Alex smiled and took aim at the nearest warrior.
