Chapter 117

Government Lab After packing up a few essential items, Michael turned to Rayne and Julian. "I’m all set. The base promised to provide me with basic food and shelter for my work. They want me to oversee the agricultural division in the future."

"Okay then, let’s head out and meet up with the rest of the team," said Julian, turning to leave the room.

Rayne followed closely behind him while Michael trailed a few steps behind them.

"Don’t stand too far away, there may or may not be a giant python lurking around here somewhere," said Julian, walking with his pistol out.

The group had only taken a few steps down the hall when they heard a series of gunshots up ahead.

"Let’s go, that sounds like Kia’s pistol," said Julian, jogging forward.

Rayne and Michael followed behind, getting closer to the gunfire. As they approached the intersection where they split into teams, they saw Kia, Kenzo, and Percy running toward them.

"It’s back! The snake is back!" cried Percy, running faster than the rest of the group.

"I shot the damn thing three times and it’s still chasing us!" yelled Kia, spotting Julian and Rayne in the distance.

"I told you! You suck at shooting!" yelled Percy. He had run so quickly that he had already made it behind Julian and Rayne.

Julian lifted his pistol, taking aim at the fast-moving python. He waited for Kia to move to the side before taking a shot.

Just as the snake caught up to Kia, she tripped over a protruding floor tile, giving Julian the perfect opportunity.

Bang!

Julian only needed to shoot a single bullet, hitting the snake directly in the head. Its enormous body immediately stopped moving, giving Kia a chance to get up and move away.

"Is it dead?" asked Percy. He had jumped into an empty room as the snake got closer and only heard the single gunshot.

"Yes, the snake is dead," answered Michael. He had witnessed this entire scene unfold in front of him. While he didn’t have a strong fear of snakes in general, seeing one so large and hostile was still disturbing.

Kia caught her breath and walked over to Julian. "Thank you so much. I thought for sure that it would get me there."

Julian nodded in reply and walked over to ensure that the snake was dead.

He looked at the spot he shot—the head—and noticed that the impact of the bullet had caused a small part of the snake to completely implode.

"Yeah, it’s not recovering from this bullet," he said calmly and turned to face Kia once more.

"We found the scientist," said Julian, pointing to Michael.

Kia looked over at him. "So you’re the guy. Good, glad we finally found you. We can finally go home."

The group slowly made its way back to the van and noticed another large, luxury SUV parked outside.

"Hey, guys!" greeted Lenny, rolling down the window.

Rayne smiled and waved. "Hey, Lenny, you’re just in time. We found the scientist and are ready to head back!"

"Perfect, I’ll follow you guys. I made sure to fill up the car before I got here," smiled Lenny. He couldn’t wait to leave this place and find more people to socialize with.

"Base to Leader Kia, do you copy?"

Everyone looked over at Kia, hearing her special radio go off. It was the first time they had heard it in use, and even Kia was slightly startled.

She unclipped the radio from her belt. "Kia here," she replied.

"We have an emergency mission. Locate a missing scavenging team. Last known location was in Southern Grove Town."

Kia frowned hearing the newly assigned task but didn’t dwell on it. "Copy, heading over now."

The rest of the team, including Michael and Lenny, looked over at Kia, waiting to hear the plan.

"You all heard it. Looks like we need to find more people. At least this town is on the way back, I’ve been there once before," announced Kia, motioning for everyone to get into the van.

Lenny smiled, resigning to fate. "Looks like I have little choice. I’ll follow behind you."

After sorting out the details, everyone hopped into the van, and the two cars hit the road. They drove for roughly an hour before arriving at the small town that Reginald and his team were assigned to loot.

Kia parked the van on the side of the main road in the center of the small town, with Lenny parking his car behind them.

Percy hopped out of the van and looked around. "Do you know what they were looting here? This place doesn’t look like it has much around."

Kia shook her head, stepping out of the car. "I’m not sure. You heard as much as I did. At least it’s a small town, so there isn’t that much ground to cover. Okay team, let’s walk down this main strip together, and if we don’t find anything, we’ll split up."

Following Kia’s instructions, the group walked down the main street, checking the more important buildings on the way.

"Nothing in the Town Hall," said Kenzo, walking back toward the group. They continued going building to building, searching for any clues.

The street had a steep upward slant, so when they finally reached the end of the street, Rayne was able to clearly see the surrounding area.

"Julian, look over there. That building looks pretty large. What do you think it is?" said Rayne, pointing to a white building with large glass windows.

Julian looked over to where she pointed. "Hmm, you wouldn’t happen to have brought the binoculars with you, have you?" he asked.

Rayne quickly picked up on his meaning and opened her backpack. "Yep! I have them here," she said, pulling a pair of black binoculars out.

Julian took them and used them to look over at the large white building. "Oh! It looks like a small hospital or medical facility of some sort. There’s a good chance that the missing team went there to scavenge."

"Hey, guys, we spotted a medical facility down there. I think there’s a good chance that’s where they went," shouted Rayne, pointing toward the white building.

Kia took a look. "Yeah, that’s a good place to look. Let’s get back to the van, and I’ll drive over."
