Chereads / Bio-Mechanical Warfare / Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

As the two humanoid bio terror weapons approached Andre, fear etched on his face. His body froze with him, unable to think of a plan to fight the monstrosities. He could only wish a swift end. Thinking that any struggle would be meaningless.

Is this the end? Andre asked himself, drenched in cold sweat.

A pale, bald humanoid stood fifty meters from Andre. Its eyes were filled with bloodlust, striding towards him. This is the end… Andre closed his eyes, anticipating that his end may be swift.

Someone suddenly screamed, "Take cover!" The hissing sound of the approaching rocket from a launcher followed. Hearing it, Andre dived to the ground as an instinct. The bio weapon grunted as the rocket exploded in its vicinity. Staggering it several meters away from its position.

Five mercenaries approached Andre, assisting him up from the ground. Another round of a rocket-propelled grenade hit the other bio weapon as it rushed towards the mercenaries. "Nice hit, Sasha!" A private complimented their demolitions expert.

"We have no time, hurry!" Sasha, sporting a golden bobbed hair with her sleeveless uniform and a vest, said in her native Slavian accent, reloading her RPG.

When Andre stood up, the group retreated hastily, trying to escape from the bio weapons that were pursuing them. "What's the deal with these bio weapons? How did these Militia got a hold of them?"

"We don't know Sarge!" Mikhail, a mercenary born in the Federation of Slavia, replied.

"There's no time asking that crap. We'll regroup with Lieutenant Anderson and think of a plan!" Anthony added.

"Yes, let's do that… But first we need to contact the Lieutenant by radio." Andre suggested. "You do that!" Mikhail said and handed him his radio.

The radio chatter was chaotic. Screams, gunfire, and the wounded were all over. Andre decided to locate their commanding officer instead. Sasha and the rest strategically placed mines as traps to slow down the pursuing bio weapons.After laying down the mines, Sasha and the others scurried away as the three bio weapons pursued. They caught up to Andre, who was ahead of them, navigating through the rough terrain of the jungle. Mikhail, who was behind, stopped after hearing the explosions from the mines."What do you think you're doing!?" Sasha asked Mikhail, grabbing a grenade from his waist.

Andre and the others paused upon hearing Sasha's words. Trying to convince Mikhail to continue running.

"I'll stay behind!" Mikhail said, seeing a bio weapon catching up to them.

"Don't be mad, Mikhail!" Andre shouted at him.

As the sun shone from above, Andre looked at his watch. It was 0545 hours. The light exposed the enemy, surrounding them from everywhere. There were three other bio weapons, west of their position, and two others in the east. The enemy cornered them, making the situation difficult. It was their plan all along.

Thinking that it may be better to die than to be captured alive. Andre and his group decided on their last stand. As he signaled Sasha to hit the bio weapon, approaching them. She aimed her launcher towards it. However, as she released the rocket towards the bio weapon.

An explosion rocked toward their location. Knocking most of them unconscious. Andre became disoriented when the explosion threw him into a huge tree.

Grunting with pain, Andre saw most of his comrades on the ground. He leaned towards the tree as he tried to recover from the blast earlier. Looking up, he saw drones flying above their location."No…" Andre muttered in disbelief.

The others screamed in pain. Mikhail had his hand severed after the explosion set off his grenade. Seeing the horror that befall on his allies. Andre felt a deep sense of horror. The sight of the incoming bio weapons did not help.

Closing his eyes, Andre accepted the inevitable. He's surrounded and his friends were on the ground, either suffering or dead. Taking a handgun from his hostler. He placed the muzzle of his gun at his temple.

I ain't gonna let anyone trample me like a crazed ape with his victim! Referring to the bio weapon approaching him. People say that these beings are vicious, bloodthirsty, and violent. They mangle their enemies' corpses even after they suffered enough,

As he pulled the trigger, the hammer did not ignite the propellant. The clicking sound made Andre realized that the round was a dud. Furious, he threw his handgun towards the bio weapon that was approaching near him.

"FUCK IT ALL!" He shouted in disappointment.

Andre's lips quivered as the human like beasts came closer to him. With no weapons left but a knife sheathed in its scabbard. He was thinking it's useless at his situation. Despite of it, he unsheathed it, pointing the tip of the blade at the enemy.

"I'll cut the tongue out of your undead mouth! I SWEAR IT!" Andre said in desperation.

Sweat drenched his face, and he ground his teeth in fear. He knew his threats would not make a difference. As a last act of defiance, he threw curses and profanities at it.

Suddenly, Andre saw a formation of aircraft overhead. Sound of bombs whistling from above got louder as it approached to the ground. Andre took cover, curling his body. Explosions rocked his surroundings, killing most of the enemies.

Missiles found their way towards the drones, hovering in the area where Andre was located. Destroying them one by one with precision. Clearing the skies above from the enemy's presence.

After the carnage of explosions, which were caused by the allied aircraft, which tore through most of the enemy formation. Andre stood up, seeing the body of the enemy bio terror weapon sliced from horizontally from its torso.

As Andre stood up, he saw an SynthMech standing before him. It stood at least eleven feet tall, with a head similar to that of a cyclops. It had human-like features and limbs. Its skin was black, made of durable fibers fifty times stronger than steel.

Armor covered parts of its torso and its crotch area. It also had gauntlets on its arms and greaves on its shin. Protecting the areas where the enemy may exploit its weakness.

"An SynthMech. Type 89 Kotetsu!" Andre said, impressed with the SynthMech in front of him.

Other SynthMech were also inserted through the battlefield. Other models, like the famous "TK-2 Taekyon" from the Imjin Heavy Industries of the Joseon Federation and the "Type 03 Shenlong" from the Yunan Republics, joined the fight.

Seeing that their allied PMCS had helped them. Andre was thankful. Tears bursted from his eyes. However, the arrival of allies was half of the fight. The actual fight has only begun.
