In the underground base, Dillon finally set off to fulfill his promise to Damien. The only clue he currently had was that Julian and his men cleared out the government base.
"Get everyone loaded into their vehicles, we're setting off to the government base", he ordered.
Cal frowned, he didn't want to go back to that cursed place but had little choice.
"Yes, boss", he said and set off to complete the order.
Dillon requested a small group of around twenty men to assist him in his search for Julian. They all loaded their various supplies and boarded the cars, making their way over to the government base.
"When I finally find that bastard I will rip him apart with my own two hands!", said Dillon.
He sat in the passenger seat, scowling out the window, biting his thumbnail.
Cal quietly glanced over with his eyes from the driver's seat. His body froze as he tried his best to minimize his presence.
When they finally arrived at the government base, Dillon told them to park in front of the entrance.
He and all of his men walked out, armed and ready to fight, but as they took a few steps into the base they realized it had been turned into a ghost town.
"Go, bring any survivors here for questioning. If they resist, kill them", ordered Dillon before walking in himself.
He noticed the lack of life right away. The streets were quiet and littered with rotting bodies.
Bending over he picked up a heavy silver bullet.
"Looks like you really were here", he said, looking around.
Many of the windows were smashed and doors were left open.
Dillon followed the trail of bodies toward the center of the base and finally noticed some movement from the distance.
Walking over, he lifted his gun, approaching the swaying figures.
"Gross, what the fuck are you?", he said, covering his mouth and nose.
The stench coming from these...people...was atrocious, like a mix of rotten flesh and feces. They didn't seem to notice him and simply stood there swaying like trees on a windy day.
Dillon watched them for a few minutes before walking over, "Tell me what you saw. Where is Julian?"
Cal, who was a few steps behind Dillon, wanted to run and hide. He was there when these people initially turned crazy and knew they couldn't be trusted.
He watched in horror as Dillon began to shout, catching their attention. Their eyes hungered for blood as they slowly made their way towards Dillon.
"Boss, I don't think they're rational. They look like they want to eat you", Cal cried out, taking a few steps back.
Dillon frowned, watching them closely as they approached. They had dried blood all over their body, including around their mouth.
"I'm only going to ask you one more time! Tell me what you know!", shouted Dillon. But as they got closer he too took a few steps back.
Lifting his pistol he aimed at the closest crazed person, "Stay back! Or I'll shoot!".
His hands trembled slightly as he continued to aim the gun. Discover hidden tales at Freewebnovel
The crazed people continued to walk towards them at the same slow pace, completely ignoring Dillon's words.
They made no sounds and no attempts at communication, only walking with a deep hunger.
