Chapter 43 - Chapter 41 : Massacre and Rebellion

It was under the dark cloak of night that Calvin attacked the outpost but this time, there weren't really too many buildings around for him to attack from a very long distance but it didn't matter to him because he had his silent Glock 17 and his trusty AR-15 to do the cleaning, a single bullet was enough with Calvin whose aim was perfect.

 With speed and stealth, he slipped through the shadows to enter the hotel grounds, avoiding the sentries patrolling outside in case the mysterious unknown group attacked. Calvin preferred to avoid them than kill them, they relayed information by radio and if one of them disappeared, they would all definitely be on alert.

 Once inside, it was in the improvised cornfield that he moved around avoiding the guards and had to kill one before dragging him into the field with him.

Calmly, slowly and with the stealth of a leopard on the hunt, Calvin moved closer to the middle of the field where there was the open space and Nathan's cage.

There was a guard near the cage armed with a baseball bat and a gun tucked in his pants. He taunted a hungry Nathan with the 5 other men in his group with him in this cage by asking him where the weapons he had stolen were.

 "How many times do I have to tell you that you won't get them anymore ? (looks at the Confederate flag on the guard's jacket) You dirty son of a bitch, how long are you and the others going to use this flag for your ideology ? You shame the South and everyone is spitting on that flag because of you..." Nathan said to the guard who cracked a smile and even Calvin almost burst out laughing, this fool was talking about that flag like he had a meaning other than White supremacism.

 "You better shut up except to tell me where you stashed the guns, your brother Saul may be the boss but-(interrupted)" he was speaking when Calvin threw a knife at him which stuck in his temple , the guard fell convulsing a little to die like a rooster before Calvin approached to remove the knife in front of Nathan and his men in the cage completely shocked by what they had just seen.

 "You must be Nathan and please don't ask me how I know you, the guard I tortured told me what he could. Are you and your guys able to fight ?" Calvin asked in a low voice and they nodded still looking at him with the same surprised expression.

He asked them not to make any noise and began to search the remains of the guard for not finding a key on him for the cage so he touched the padlock to fully understand the internal mechanism before taking out his lockpicking tools to gently open the cage.

 "Thanks dude but who are you and what do you expect from us ?" Nathan asked him while taking the gun from the dead guard. Calvin replied that he didn't need to know his name but that he was there to kill this entire group and that any help would be appreciated. Nathan wanted to speak but Calvin motioned for him to shut up urgently before taking a nail out of his pocket.

 "Hey Dave, remember that chinese girl among the new slaves ? I think it's the best pussy I've ever had and I can't stop thinking about it. Her breasts were pure marvels when he was forced to undress in front of her father ahahah. Dave are you there? Da-(interrupted)" Another guard had approached in the field and was coming towards them looking for his friend but Calvin killed him by forcefully throwing the 6 cm nail which embedded itself in his skull and came out the other side, killing him immediately.

Calvin's strength had increased through his training and he didn't need much of a projectile to kill a man with his hands.

 "Do you have a cigarette ?" Nathan asked Calvin after looking at him for a long time following what he had just witnessed and Calvin threw him a pack of cigarettes which he took out of his bag telling him that he could keep the cigarettes with the sincere Thanks from Nathan.

They didn't have time to properly introduce themselves and organized themselves to attack the outpost, Calvin was going to create a diversion while they were going to station themselves in certain locations outside to carry out a series of actions precise because they weren't in condition for dynamic combat.

 In fact, Cal was even impressed by these hungry and exhausted guys who could have chosen to leave but preferred to stay and fight alongside him, they were angry and apparently wanted revenge on the supremacists.

Before they separated, Calvin, to help them get out, accompanied them for a time by silently killing the guards outside whose weapons they took and after their separation, it took Calvin barely 2 minutes to start a fire in the cornfield to create his diversion.

 In no time, the enemies came out on alert to try to put out the fire and as Calvin had predicted, they roused and brought out all their prisoners for this task.

Calvin watched everything with amusement from one of the roofs near the corpses of three sentries he had eliminated before taking out his AR-15 to watch in detail how everything was happening through the scope of his rifle.

 Calvin seeing that everything was going well looked in a certain direction before flashing his flashlight four times.

In this direction Nathan was hiding a little further away who saw the signal and with his pistol, he fired several shots before moving.

When his men hidden around the outpost listened to the gunshots, they did the same to fire at the same time in several directions outside and that put the enemies on alert.

 Calvin's plan was for the enemy to send part of his contingent to hunt down the unknowns outside and thus he could kill those who remained, equip the prisoners who would then kill the rest of the enemies who returned from their unsuccessful attack facing a non-existent enemy outside, taking them by surprise.

This plan in truth was not very brilliant 'cause there were former soldiers among them who knew that the best solution was to wait for the enemy to penetrate their area to eliminate them on familiar ground, they didn' t know the number of enemies to face and they were certainly waiting outside to shoot.

 However, one of Calvin's blessings was his supernatural luck and as it happens, Saul's right-hand man who ran the outpost was a pretty impatient guy but what's more, his brother was in the first outpost that Calvin attacked and exterminated the day before.

Knowing that those who killed the last member of his family in this apocalypse were now attacking them made his blood boil and he didn't have time to wait for them there like a scared kitten, he wanted to slaughter them and mobilized more than half of his men to go and confront the enemy outsider.

Moreover, if the enemy came to them, their slaves would see it as an opportunity for revolt and they would have to face two enemies at the same time, so he divided his forces so that one side would attack the enemy outside and the other would watch the slaves. 

 Calvin watched them mobilize with his mouth half-open as if surprised that his plan had worked so well.

There were about a little over 100 men left there and he rubbed his hands together before climbing down from his vantage point to sneak up on some of the prisoners, posing as one of them.

Some prisoners did not recognize him and he discreetly explained to them that they must be ready to fight when the time comes, he was there to help them free themselves with his group but they themselves had to be ready. Obviously, they didn't understand right away but he asked them to spread the word before disappearing from there.

 "Well...here we go again..." Calvin nonchalantly took an apple lollipop out of his pocket and removed the wrapper before popping the treat into his mouth as he moved to where he had hidden his weapons.

The challenge was going to be quite scary this time since he had to kill more than a hundred enemies but it was for the best because those who left were the ones who had the guns, Calvin was now going to face those who had melee weapons.

 There were 8 guards near his hideout and he made sure not to get the number wrong before going out to very quickly fire 8 shots from his silenced AR-15 to kill them and his aiming speed was so diabolical that they didn't even have time to react.

He began to hide the corpses in the tall grass around when with his superhuman hearing, he heard footsteps approaching from a corner of the building and he killed the two enemies as soon as they appeared before hiding their corpses as well.

 Calvin entered the hotel premises and there began real carnage. His senses and physical abilities were far above those of normal humans and he had no difficulty killing these men and women without any form of mercy. Some people noticed the disappearances and put the base on alert, but that didn't stop Calvin's Killing spree, which became even more brutal because he was in a hurry.

The prisoners also realized that something was happening and they knew that this was the time for them to fight for their freedom.

 In a wave of revolt, they began to fight against the supremacists and realized that they had a huge advantage in terms of numbers.

There were almost 2000 of them and the enemies were barely fourty now after the carnage of Calvin who witnessed the insurrection and helped them but didn't even have much left to do.

The rebels took what they could to use weapons and freed the others still locked up. Calvin approached someone who appeared to be one of their leaders and she was a black woman in her mid-30s.

 The woman introduced herself as Tisha and thanked Calvin for helping them. When she asked him where his group was, Calvin told her that it was only him there and that caused quite a commotion which Calvin calmed down by telling them that they had no savior and that they had to fight for their freedom or they didn't deserve it otherwise.

He had a bad feeling but continued to ask them to fight for themselves, he made a speech to galvanize them even as the bad feeling grew stronger and stronger.

 They suddenly heard several gunshots outside as well as a great commotion with the smell of corpse rot of zombies for almost a minute then the sound of a vehicle.

Quickly, he asked people to take weapons and those who were armed had to hide to take the enemies by surprise.

 Hidden, Calvin saw a van rushing into the outpost and his enhanced vision allowed him to see that it was Nathan at the wheel.

He had barely stopped the vehicle when he and his men got out to urgently close the gate which they had slightly damaged by entering by force.

 One of them had assault rifles with which they began firing towards the outside while Nathan and the other three closed the gate with what they could. Calvin approached them and before he even spoke, Nathan beat him to it.

 "A horde surrounds us, a sea of ​​these monsters that we didn't even sense approaching and our gunfire lured them there. The Nazis are stuck outside and so are we…there…there were these things…I've never seen these monsters run, THEY DON'T USUALLY RUN…" Nathan finished his monologue shouting, Calvin knew he was was talking about runners and it was not good news.
