Chapter 3 by Zebra Zebra

Which of these groups will you be a part of? Who are you and what will you do?

Supply run

You are an elite five man special operation unit… sent to recover a hidden supply cache in an abandon tunnel.

The vertical landing air craft drops artfully onto the ancient landing pad, less than a hundred yards from your objective. Your team, skillfully trained and tightly knit, sets out on this mission, armed with not only the best military equipment but also your determination to face the unknown dangers that lie ahead. The ancient military facility doors are still sealed, it takes some time to get the base powered, but your team get the atomic generator. Unlocking the doors you venture into the long forgotten and abandon bunker, avoiding the elevators your team descends the stairs into the tunnels.

As you move through the dark, ominous tunnel, each step is a mix of tension and anticipation, amplifying the unbearable heavy silence in the stale air, which seems eerily distant despite being so close. Ground water has leaked in, and strange plants are growing here in the flickering lights. Though these plants are distinctly unusual, your primary focus is on the mission.

Suddenly, a rustling from ahead forces you to stop your steps, the silence is broken by the shrill screeching of giant insects. Your heat vision worriedly scans the floors and walls, and you spot a horde of those vile creatures, slithering like the worms they are… intent on finding a meal. Each leach is about two feet long, shiny wet looking black bodies that wiggle and squirm. Eyeless they seem to sense your body heat in some manner, and begin to slither towards you leaving shiny slime trails.

They mouths like gaping suckers… lined with small needle like teeth… Your team, being the elites they are, talk over the radios, calling for your best strategy on how to handle these weird alien-like pests. Not wishing to waster ammo… you try stomping and smashing them under foot at first. However their bodies are tough and leathery, and they quickly wrap around legs slithering up pants legs towards hot sweat groins.

With a deep breath, you swiftly switch to an alternate tactic. Your team follows your lead as you pull out the thermal flares from your gear. These flares will cause the ambient temperature in its vicinity to soar to intense levels. Not safe for humans, but the creatures won't last a minute. You flash the flares towards the horde, the sudden bright light sending the creatures into a tizzy. They let go of your leg and scramble for cover. Watching their reaction, you lunge forward and use your feet to crush the ones that are now exposed and disoriented.

In a swift and synchronized motion, your team joins in, flashlights illuminating the area as both you and your fellow operatives deal with the monstrous creatures. The creatures hiss and writhe in pain under the scorching heat, until they finally perish. You are **** to burn two of the creatures off your teammates bodies, where the leaches had attached themselves to the unfortunate soldiers genitals… heard were guttural cries of pain from them, never a sound you enjoyed hearing, even amidst battle.

After this encounter, you and the team continue down the tunnel, albeit cautiously, the echoes of the hissing and screeching still ringing in your ears. The operation to recover the hid supply cache seems to get increasingly perilous, but one thing is for sure - no challenge, no matter how strange or deadly, can stop you from completing this mission. Your team specializes in the unimaginable and the unwelcome, and you stand tallest in the face of such adversity, guiding each step forward with assurance and strength.

But that wasn't the last of the dangers in this forgotten bunker. More tests await your skilled hand and your team's unyielding spirits, pushing you both physically and mentally to the very brink. It's a race now - survival, success, and comradeship against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Farther along you are attacked by rad roaches… these huge insects are surprisingly dangerous. Pushing through the darkness of the tunnel, the team comes across a new, equally terrifying challenge. The eerie, almost constant, scratching sound you begin to hear grows louder. Suddenly, a massive horde of mutated roaches known as rad roaches emerges from the shadows, surrounding your team. These beasts are far larger than normal cockroaches, their bodies a sickening shade of radioactive green.

Their mandibles 'Click-Click' as they advance towards your team, their antennae quivering with anticipation. They swarm your feet, climbing your pants and shoes in an attempt to infest every part of you. Your careful footing and adrenaline propel you forward, your teammates following closely behind.

You quickly formulate a plan. The beam from a flashlight is shined directly into the eyes of the leading rad roaches, causing them to momentarily lose focus and stop their charge. Your team swoops in, using their military-grade combat knives to cut a swath through the swarming insects. The knife's blades slice through the roaches' exoskeletons easily, killing several at a time. The insects fall in heaps around you, dead or dying.

Throughout the battle, you keep a clear head, ensuring your men stay focused and avoid getting overwhelmed. The ankle-biters are relentless, but your perseverance and strategic thinking push them back to the edges of the tunnel. As the last of the rad roaches scuttle away, you give your team the nod to continue.

With the threat from the mutated roaches neutralized, the team moves forward. There's no knowing what other dangers lie ahead in this forsaken bunker, but you're confident in your team's ability to overcome any obstacle. The mission to recover the hidden supply cache is as dangerous as ever, but the beacon of hope that you've been able to keep burning within you and your comrades has never flickered brighter.

What's next?
