Anime Survival

*Bang* * bratatat* bang*

Three soldiers came out of a small building nearby and shot James who threw himself behind a concrete fence, narrowly dodging a dozen bullets.

He waited a brief moment before the sound of gunfire ceased, then got up and aimed at the three soldiers, but at the same time two soldiers came out of a nearby building across the road, while aiming their weapons at James.

"Shit! The sound of gunfire and the smell of smoke (burning vehicle) made it impossible for me to detect them!"

*Bang*

He shot one of the three soldiers, who was reloading their weapons, killing him instantly before running at full speed towards the barrier that prevented the vehicles from leaving or entering the town.

The two soldiers began shooting at James while the other two who were reloading opened fire.

*Bang* * bratatat* bang* *Bang* * bratatat*

"Ouch!!"

Two balls hit James' shoulder, nearly knocking him off balance, he then pulled the pin on a smoke grenade and threw it behind him before hiding behind another fence.

"It hurts like hell!"

He pressed his right hand firmly on his bleeding shoulder while closing his eyes.

*Swooch* *Boom*

The smoke grenade exloped, releasing a thick veil of smoke, disrupting the vision of the soldiers who stopped firing, James, whose1 eyes were still closed, stood up again and aimed in one direction and fired.

*Bang*

*Bang*

One of the soldiers who fired earlier fell to the ground with a bullet to the c.h.e.s.t and before his companion could react another shot rang out, killing him instantly as well.

Then James ran to a 1910 style military vehicle, resembling the 1908 Willie Overalnd model before Jeep production, James, pressing down on his shoulder injury, jumped into the vehicle but soon realized there was a problem.

"It's a cranked vehicle! Damn it! Why is my luck so rotten!"

The two remaining soldiers seeing the death of two of their comrades rushed through the smoke and saw James getting out of the vehicle. At the same time four soldiers ran onto the metal walkway connecting the two observation towers and aimed their weapons at James.

"You are surrounded, put down your weapon! And surrender!" Shouted one of the soldiers dressed in a different uniform than the other soldiers, he must have been an officer.

James dropped the weapon in his hands and continued to exert light pressure on his wound, the two closest ones then approached James but when one of them was about to hit him with the b.u.t.t of the gun to bring him to his knees, James suddenly lowered his centre of gravity before jumping into the air and as if an invisible explosion had occurred beneath his feet, the ground cracked and he was thrown about ten metres into the air.

In tenths of a second, He removed the second pistol he had and fired two shots at the officer.

*Bang* *Bang*

But the two shots missed him, one of the bullets still managed to hit the leg of one of the soldiers accompanying him..

And a second later, James fell on the roof of one of the buildings.

"Open fire!" Shouted the officer as the other soldiers still surprised by James' previous action came to their senses.

*Bang* * bratatat* bang* *Bang* * bratatat* *Bang* * bratatat* bang* *Bang* * bratatat*

James rolled onto the roof under the inertia of the jump, narrowly escaping the bullets, but the roof, which was of poor quality, quickly shattered under his weight and the soldiers' bullets.

*Creack* *Bam*

The roof collapsed on the building breaking the front and side walls of the building, raising a small cloud of dust.

"Stuart and Vince are going to check if he's alive! Rodolf is taking Jean to a doctor." Said the officer before changing the magazine of his gun as he descended from the bridge, further on several military vehicles were coming towards the post.

The two soldiers approached the partially destroyed building and began to clear the debris, a few minutes later when they lifted one of the debris they saw a pistol aimed at them.

*Bang* *Bang*

Two shots were fired, both fell to the ground with a hole in their foreheads as their consciences dissipated.

James slowly emerged from the rubble, covered in dust and his shoulder bleeding.

"* Cough* * Cough* I almost saw the light."

"What was that sound? Go and see!"
