Terror Infinity Side B
Chapter 6, H.O.T.D 2
There were more soldiers than normal guarding the bridge into Tokonosu City and patrolling the surrounding areas. There was the recent word of a approaching army of zombies on the way to the city. The government and army established within the city were preparing for this upcoming invasion and were gathering it's forces to deploy to meet them head on and away from the city and the survival camp, but they couldn't ignore a surprise attack before the main army arrives. Either man, zombie or mutant beast could take this chance to attack when they were preparing for the invasion, so the soldier guarding the bridge were ordered to be extra vigilant.
Captain: "Those fucking shit heads!"
Soldier 1: "Captain, speaking ill of our superiors is grounds for-"
Captain: "Let those dicks try something! They won't because they fear Supreme Commander Takagi. He's the one who grew the base to what it is today and has the respect of the people for risking his life for the people of Japan!"
JSDF Soldier 1: "Yes that's right, but it isn't like they didn't do anything either. The former JSDF commanders and that one politician did bring almost half the current survivors and goods to the base."
JSDF Captain: "That would be nice if they worked hard to establish the camp more, but they don't. They just bicker and fight every day. The 5 Heads of Military won't lift a finger and pressure the Supreme Commander to undertake the dangerous tasks. They use the excuse that they have to maintain their regular forces, yet they demand him take responsibility for everything that goes wrong. That corrupt mayor as well is the reason Tokonosu City's social order is plummeting. He's taking bribes left and right, hates our upstanding leader, and can't work with the police force well for some reason. Compared to what it was like three months ago, we may have been better off staying as a survivor camp of 50,000 that was united rather than 100,000 that's unorganized as a child's play area."
Soldier 1: "But with the rumors of a legion of THEM approaching we need all the help we can get. Only by working together can we survive."
Captain: "Help? Work together? Please! Do you know why when the order was given to reinforce the city borders were given, nearly all reinforcements came from Supreme Commander Takagi's army? The 5 Heads and the Military are hoping something will go wrong. They will come running to help, sure, but they will use our loses to weaken Supreme Commander Takagi's standing and reputation. Fuck, just because we don't condone abuse of power, murder, and XXXX they want us dead!"
As the commander was fuming with rage another soldier in charge of communications ran over to then two discussions politics.
Communication Officer: "Captain! I've just received word from the fleet of buses we sent out looking for survivors from the fallen xxxxxx survival camp!"
Captain: "Really! I thought we lost contact with them hours ago? How are they?"
Communication Officer: "Not good. They were attacked by tens of thousands of THEM! They lost six buses along with most of the survivors and military personnel, but with the help of some Enhancers that they picked up, together they fought their way out and are on their way here. According to them they are due to arrive within a few minutes. I've already contacted those on watch duty and they confirmed that three buses are traveling towards us."
Captain: "That's good news, but damn! We borrowed five of those buses from the 5 Heads of Military and The Mayor. They are definitely not going to let it go that we lost their important resources to "Save some civilians", as they will say. Damn, Supreme Commander Takagi and his wife will lose face because of this."
Soldier 1: "But there's good new as well, right? With a influx our organization and power can grow bigger. Also, a group of Enhancers who could help the three buses escape a surprise attack of tens of thousands of THEM, they are sure to be talented. Long as we recruit them before the other powers can our military might will increase! Perhaps they'll turn out to be another Walking Dead Unit."
Captain: "Impossible. Those guys are all monsters who've adapted to the God and Devil system and mastered modern combat as well. They are so powerful that they act as a deterrent for the other powers to not do anything stupid, so instead of talking about fantasies let's prepare to greet our guest. If they were chased by tens of thousands of zombies like they said there's a chance that they were followed. Communication Officer! Contact HQ and report the situation and ask for back up just in case."
Communication Officer: "Yes. Sir yes sir!"
The communications officer ran off back to his station to repot back to headquarters. The captain then ordered all personnel to prepare to greet the three incoming buses and prepare for possible battle with the zombies. Every man confirmed their personal weapons and the gun torrents were manned and ready to fire. Then a few minutes later the three buses came into view and as they were just one minute away arrival-
- *RUMBLE*!!!

Shuai: "...Did I just hit the lottery?"
Shin: "No way. I hit the lottery in Danganronpa. This is more like finding a hundred dollar bill on the ground by smacking its owner as he's picking it up."
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Once the rumbling came to a end what the army saw was hell on earth. The land before their eyes caved in and sank into the earth. The disturbed earth crashed against each other and created a thick fog of dust and other debris obstructing vision. Even nearby houses near the bridge collapsed on top of themselves during the earthquake, but if it was only that then they wouldn't begin to panic. What did it for them was THEM.
Countless undead numbering in the thousands crawled out of the earth just like out of cheap third rate movies, but it was worse. This was reality and there weren't only normal zombies. The evolved L1, S1, and other evolved zombies of the God and Devil System rose up from the ground and began to attack the army along with thousands of normal zombies.
The army had little time to prepare themselves, but they were well trained and over a quarter of them were Enhancers. Some even level 20 and up with good weapons and skills. They took out their weapons and opened fire on the approaching army of zombies and beheaded those that came close. It was clear just by their initial response time and mentality as they stood their ground as they were vastly outnumbered, that this group of soldiers were a cut above others.
Their ability to react to the sudden crisis alone should be praised, but it wasn't enough to deal with the evolved zombies. It was military policy to either keep the abnormal zombies away with a endless rain on bullets or to take the initiative to attack up close themselves, but neither were possible due to the sudden battle. The S1 Zombies used their speed and reflexes to wave around the soldiers gunfire to get close and clawed and bit at their neck. L1 Zombies used their tough bodies to crash into the soldiers formations and give an opportunity for the normal zombies to approach.

The veteran and high level Enhancers all felt that they wouldn't last at this rate and the zombies would overrun and charge through the bridge they were stationed to protect. They had to do something, but even they had their hands full with monsters more dangerous than the L1 and S1 zombies, and if they dared to let one of them pass to focus on something else a untold number of soldiers would be slaughtered. All they could do was quickly get word to HQ for reinforcements and warn them of a possible breach.
Captain: "Fuck it all to hell! If today's the day I die than so be it! I'll leave the rest to Supreme Commander Takagi and the Walking Dead Unit. That's why in exchange for out lives, let's show THEM the power and determination of the descendants of the Japanese samurai!"
ALL Soldiers: "Yeah!!!"
Soldier 1: "But captain my parents are both Chinese!"
Captain: "Go to hell soldier! Just-"
- *BANG*!!!
It was then that a round of gunshots from the opposite side the bridge was facing were heard. Three large buses were driving around the large pit in the earth and on top of these buses were men and woman heavily armed with guns. The gunfire was none stop and dozens of zombies dropped by the second. Their shots were all incredibly accurate and never missed. Zombies were dropping like flies and this gave the JSDF some room to breathe to remake their defense formations. They all still had to contend with close to ten thousand zombies that knew not fear or compassion, but the human soldiers didn't give up and stood there ground.
Shin: "These guys are quite impressive. Real men and women among soldiers... Definitely feel bad for causing all this, so we should at least end this quickly. Hey! Drive towards the bridge! Avoid the evolved zombies and we can handle the rest! Don't think that you can escape alive in just a bus against tens of thousands of zombies. If you don't want to die drive to the survival camp!"
Shin shouted at the drivers using Ki so those inside could hear, and unintentionally his voice was so loud it shock the bones of ordinary people and instilled them that they would be killed if they dared disobeyed. None of the bus drivers wanted to risk driving through an army of ten thousand zombies, but hearing that escape was impossible and the strictness in Shin's voice the drivers listened to him. They drove away from where the main fighting was taking place with the evolved zombies and Team Japan standing on the roofs of the buses provided cover fire and cleared a path for them.
They finally arrived to the encampment in front of the bridge where the army was most concentrated. The soldiers with the sudden commotion forgot that they were expecting them, and so were suspicious of the buses carrying Team Japan and pointed their guns at them, but the soldiers Team Japan had worked together with disembarked the three buses and calmed down their comrades pointing guns at their saviors. It was only when they finished explaining that Shin's group could be trusted and that they were the only reason they could make it back were the guns lowered.
Soldier 2: "Then my apologies for pointing our guns at you. This attack was too sudden and... Anyways, thank you for protecting our soldiers and the citizens of Japan that you saved. You're all heroes."
Shin: "Thank you (I feel like shit). Then can you let the three buses pass through the bridge? I have companions who aren't capable of fighting, so I want them and the citizens (After thought) to get to safety."
Soldier 3: "No problem! It's the army's job to protect civilians. They can pass without a permission for now, but if you don't mind mind can your group help reinforce us here on the bridge? Reinforcements will arrive soon, but till then-"
Shin: "Of course! If you have the power to help one should help at all cost! But my group works together. We won't spit up under any circumstances even at the orders of the army."
The soldier agreed to this condition. Shin's group were not yet civilians of the Tokonosu City Survival Camp and they weren't so powerless that they needed protection. It would be one thing of they had gone through a normal inspection where their weapons and items from the God and Devil System would be confiscated, but this was a emergency and there was no time for that.
Soldier 3: "Just kill as many of those bastards as you can! I'll take responsibility!"
Shin: "Okay then. Let's fight to the death together! Aqua, Hikari, Shuai, Connor, Jin, Drake and I will be the ranged with guns. We don't need sniping just yet, but if we do, Connor, snipe from the top of the bridge. It wastes too much energy and stamina to get into a real fight with so many THEM. Just blast their heads off with guns is good enough. Once we get started the enemy's focus will begin to be on us, so Kisara and Sachi will defend us from the evolved L1 and S1 zombies who come to kill us. If any new types of evolved zombies show up then leave them to me or Aqua to test them out first. I don't don't want to see any casualties here, so don't let your guard down!"
Once Shin was finished positioning the team they all set out together. They left the majority of the army protecting the road to the bridge and entered the center of the zombie army. The soldiers watching them off saw it as stupidity and a reckless move to leave a fortified position and let themselves be surrounded by undead, yet they could only watch as hundreds of zombies fell to the ground as they were shot down.
The zombies swarmed toward them like flies drawn to their flesh and blood, but every time they came close several gunshots burst their heads and their bodies began to burn until these zombies became ashes. The soldiers watching from a distance were stunned and even almost forgot about the zombies swarming them. Each member of Team Japan either got all head shots in rapid succession or only needed a few body shots to kill a zombie.
- SIDE QUEST REWARD 2, KILL THE ZOMBIE. 1000 ZOMBIES KILLED. THE WHOLE TEAM IS REWARDED 1 POINTS!
This was the power of a team who were all in Unlocked Mode and had assess to infinite ammo weapons utilizing magic bullets. The First Stage of the Genetic Constraint alone gave each member of the team the skill to use handguns, SMG, and other heavy weaponry with ease. Add in their routine training in the Terminal Lobby gave them the added skill to compete with top tier soldiers. Maybe better as their weapons were infinite ammo and didn't require to spend the time to reload, so they could continously shoot down the enemy one after the other endlessly.
Of course not every member of the Team Japan had the skill to endlessly get head shots, but even when they missed the head for the torso the zombies still died all the same. Shin, Aqua, Hikari, Shuai, Connor, Jin and Drake were all using infinite ammo weapons enchanted with lowest grade magic enchantment. Each bullet fired were the equivalent to low grade magic bullets and when a zombie was hit even in none fatal area with a few bullets they would burn away into ash.

- SIDE QUEST REWARD 2, KILL THE ZOMBIE. 1000 ZOMBIES KILLED. THE WHOLE TEAM IS REWARDED 1 POINTS!
Shin: (Wow. A team with all unlocked members like us wielding infinite ammo weapons can just sweep through modern and low level supernatural missions like H.O.T.D with ease long we have magic bullets. We have infinite magic bullets as well. There really is nothing to worry about except them.)
Shin continued to get head shot after head shot while in the First Stage looked over and then saw dozens of S1 and L1 Zombies approaching. In just a few minutes since Team Japan entered the battle thousands of zombies had fallen to them. Add in the total kills from the JSDF and about half of the ten ten thousand strong zombie horde has been wiped out. The zombie leader behind the scenes couldn't accept such a massive loss on top of the ninety thousand killed in the cave in, and so he began to order his elite forces to kill the ones he held responsible even without proof.
Team Japan!
The first to arrive were a group of fifteen L1 Zombies. The agility type zombies were faster, but the power type zombies were closer... and were the first to fall. This group of L1 Zombies were bombarded with a rain of magic bullets from Team Japan, yet eleven raised their arms up in time in order to endure and managed to not be killed instantly. They were weak to magic bullets like all zombies, but their armor skin gave them some resistance to the lethal magic bullets. Three more L1 fell as they charged closer and closer to Team Japan, but that was when their end came. Without warning Sachi threw seven adamantium needles, soaring across the space between team Japan and the L1 zombies and pierced into their eyes. After being threaded with godly accuracy through their guards and into their brains. Just like humans the eyes of L1 Zombies were a weak point.
Jin: "Why did you leave one alive? Couldn't find a opening?"
Sachi: "No."
Sachi without explaining further threw another adamantium needle towards the sole L1, but this one dripping an ominous purple fluid without a scent. The needle made of adamantium thrown with decent power and accuracy effortlessly stabbed into L1's right foot. At first the L1 Zombie didn't seem effected by the needle whatsoever and the others were about to finish it off, but then all of a sudden the L1 collapsed onto the ground face first and unmoving. Everyone watch the evolved zombie with caution and intrigue, and three seconds later it began to push itself back up. Sachi observed all this was a satisfied look on her face and jumped on top of the L1 with impressive speed, and before the zombie knew what happened Sachi grasping with a reverse grip a dagger burning in blue flames stabbed into its head. The L1 scream loudly and flames erupted out of its mouth and eyes as the soul burning blue flames of Hell Fire Fang damaged its soul, and then moments later it whole body burned up with not even ashes left behind.
- SIDE QUEST REWARD 3, EVOLUTION TYPE 1 ZOMBIE. EIGHT L1 ZOMBIES KILLED. THE WHOLE TEAM IS REWARDED 8 POINTS
Sachi: "My poison on stock can at least stun type 1 zombies for 3-5 seconds and Hell Fore Fang can damage zombies. I still need to test my Basilisk poison, but the results so far are alright if I do say."
Hikari: "..."
Aqua: "..."
Shuai: "...I'm a shaman, but I didn't need find out like this that THEM had souls."
Connor: "..."
Jin: "...Cool!"
Kisara: "...How deplorable."
Drake: "Scary as always. I'm glad I'm not alone in this feeling dread in the pit of my stomach."
Shin: "...I'm so, so glad that I'm not indiscriminate with my love life."
Everyone had things to say or not say at Sachi's cruel experiment, but they quickly got their act together as a new threat arrived. Twenty S1 Zombies rushing towards them. They ignored all the soldiers that they passed and like a arrow shot straight towards them. Shin and everyone else raised their various weapons and opened fire on the S1 Zombie. Only four were killed from the barrage of gunfire though. The rest simply scattered and avoided the bullets with animal like movements and continued towards their prey. The were now only just fifteen meters away. Close enough for the S1's with ten times the speed of humans to reach them in the next three seconds and tear at their throats with their long and sharp claws.
Shin: (But unfortunately your already dead.)
Neither Shin or any other members of the team dropped their guns or moved to stop the S1 Zombies. Only one of them armed solely with a katana stepped forward and charged with extreme speed surpassing the S1 Zombies. The peerless beauty and swordsman of the team, Kisara, shot towards the closest S1 Zombie leading the pack and in a flash it's head was lopped clean off. In that split second the S1 Zombies and most of her own teammates even in Unlocked Mode lost sight of just when did she swing her katana Shusui and beheaded the evolved zombie. Only Shin, Aqua and Connor caught sight of that moment and just barely at that.
Kisara: "Accel Turn!"
From here on out everyone lost sight of the master of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu. Kisara's body was illuminated with a myriad of radiant lights. She was there one moment and the next her figure was gone. The battle with the S1 Zombie when they closed in did not even last the full three second and when Kisara reappeared before everyone's eyes she was slowly taking small steps past the S1 Zombies. Half were beheaded like the lead evolved zombie and the rest were cut in half diagonally from their shoulder to the waist. The end came at lightning speed and Kisara did her title as the successor of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu, renown for its speed and precision proud.
- SIDE QUEST REWARD 3, EVOLUTION TYPE 1 ZOMBIE. TWENTY S1 ZOMBIES KILLED. THE WHOLE TEAM IS REWARDED 20 POINTS!
Drake: "Truly god speed! I heard Absolute Reckoning had a famous practitioner of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu, but who knew it was this domineering! Isn't she just like a famous heroine with that katana?"
Shin: "I know right! And this peerless beauty and swordsman of Team Japan belongs to me, so don't get any funny ideas... Seriously. Comrades are important, but-"
Hikari: "Stop fucking around you two and get shooting! In real life you can't stop shooting to praise the pretty girl when your being flooded with endless waves of THEM!"
Shin: "So you do think she is pretty as well? Just so you know I'm not a man who shares his woman, but if you or Aqua want to kiss-"
- *BANG*!
- *BANG*!
Two bullets simultaneously passed centimeters from Shin's head which went on to to pierce the skulls of two far off zombies. A cold sweat ran down Shin's back and he didn't have to guess where the two shots came from, and he then continued to shoot the approaching zombies along with the rest of the team with a more resolute expression as he didn't want to anger his harem any further. Minutes later the effect of Team Japan had on the battle was clear as day. Of the original 10,000 zombies that surfaced above ground over 7,000 had been wiped out. Reinforcements still had not arrived from HQ, but even without them the tide had turned in favor of the JSDF.
Shin: "Good! It looks like this battle is almost-"
- *BREAK*!!!
Then just as Shin and his team were confident of their victory a large hand bigger than a car erupted from the earth 1000 meters away from the team. Shin recognized it as the thing that was tunneling underground and allowing the zombies to move unnoticed below the surface. It seemed clear that Shuai and Gnomes attack on the tunnels didn't kill it and before anyone could identify it the large hand returned to the earth and climbing out of the hole it left behind were zombies... and at the same time on the other side of the bridge an armored black Humvee began driving down the road.

A reason will be revealed later for those of you wondering if they were showing off too much with infinite ammo magic bullet guns.
