Chapter 31 The Scythe of Death

On the road 500 meters away from the town, several fully armed people were on guard. Three Hummers and a Strek wheeled armored personnel carrier were parked on the road. Cassidy sat on a box with a pale face. In front of him, a man was walking back and forth anxiously. A high-power radio was placed beside the car behind him, and an operator was sitting in front of it. A burst of hissing silence sound came from the speakers.

When the man walked past Cassidy again, he suddenly grabbed his collar and picked him up. He pulled out his pistol with his right hand and pressed Cassidy's forehead, gritted his teeth and asked, "Who is he?"

Cassidy seemed very calm at this time, at least much calmer than when Jill just saved him. He didn't care about the pistol that was pressed against his head and shook his head and said, "I said that he is the scythe of the god of death, and he sent the god of death to harvest life in this world. You don't believe me."

The man used force on his hand, and the sight of the gun cut through the skin on Cassidy's forehead: "They have only four people, and I have lost two snipers and an elite tactical squad."

"It's two." Cassidy said softly: "There's my one, we're done, Ashford wins."

The man was stunned for a moment, letting Cassidy go, but not putting the gun back into the holster, and asked, "Do you think this is Ashford's trap?"

Cassidy tidied up his collar before answering: "He told us that survivors appeared here. I reminded you at that time that he was not so kind."

The man suddenly became angry again and pointed at Cassidy and scolded: "You insisted on coming to check it out at that time."

"We all know that Sandel stores a lot of good things," Cassidy said, "My adventure failed, but I found them." He pointed to the town, where there were sporadic gunfires, but they all knew that it was just his subordinates who were raising their courage. The house had swallowed more than a dozen fully armed comrades, and no one dared to go in again.

Cassidy listened and said, "At least, before I left, their attitude was friendly, but you messed up, you angered them, I said they were more dangerous than Ashford, they killed a dozen zombies with just a few front-loaded rifles, and one zombie helped them, maybe they knew something we didn't know."

The man walked around anxiously again, then suddenly stopped and said to Cassidy: "You go and negotiate with them."

"Are you crazy?" Cassidy couldn't calm down this time. He escaped from the town and soon met the man who came to pick him up and the troops he led. However, the man did not follow his advice, but immediately surrounded the town. Cassidy could guess that the man did not believe in him, so he did not try his best to stop him at that time. Now the man's subordinates were finished, and the strength of the two people was equalized again, so he was naturally happy to hindsight. But the man's idea was not a joke. He exclaimed: "At this time? They will kill me."

The man said impatiently: "What do you think you should do?"

Cassidy glanced at him and said nothing. He said to himself, "I have advised you to go back to Anchorage first, you have to come back. Now that your strength is over, can you still counterattack again?"

The man did not hear Cassidy's answer, turned his head and looked at him, and happened to see the ridicule of Cassidy's mouth. He became angry and raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at Cassidy: "I order you to negotiate with them."

Cassidy looked at him carefully and felt that it would be better not to give him a chance to shoot him at this time, so he had to say slowly: "Give me a gun."

The man looked at him for a while and found that Cassidy was also determined. He waved his hand and a soldier who was guarding him not far away handed over a pistol.

Cassidy took the gun, checked the ammunition before saying to the man: "Captain, I still think this is not a good idea."

When the man heard him calling his position, he knew that he was expressing his attitude, but at this time, he certainly would not take back the order. They had always relied on powerful armed forces to demand Ashford's offerings on Anchorage's territory, but lost most of his strength this night. He could figure out what Ashford would do after returning to Anchorage. In order not to become a vassal of Ashford, he had to recruit the "Scythe of Death" mentioned by Cassidy. He was a professional soldier, so he would not believe that there was any witchcraft. Cassidy said that there was a zombie helping those people, and he guessed that these people might have mastered some key information about the raging virus, and having this information was the foundation for gaining a foothold in this troubled times.

Carlos glanced at the man again, raised his hand and saluted the US Army, and turned to walk towards the town. Before he could take a few steps, he heard a sudden burst of gunfire sounds in the town, and then bursts of screams came from the radio station: "Oh my God, he came out and Jimmy stopped him."

"At seven o'clock, my goodness, he came from Carl's direction, Carl, Carl...he killed Carl"

"Fire, fire, move, move..."

"We need to retreat, captain, he moves very quickly, we retreat."

"If you need support, damn...receive me!"

The gunshots in the town became more and more scattered, with the sound of grenade explosions mixed in between. Everyone on the radio seemed to be attacked, everyone was calling for support, and it seemed that more than a dozen people left in the town were attacked at the same time.

Cassidy stopped, carefully identified the gunshots, and turned around and smiled bitterly, "Do you think it's useful for me to go?"

The man was silent for a while, grabbed the radio and shouted, "Everyone retreated, no recoil cannon attack the house."

Cassidy was stunned and shouted, "Are you crazy?"

The man shouted angrily: "They killed so many of us, are we just sacking us?"

Cassidy also said angrily: "There are women and children in the house, and the man is not in the house, so he comes out."

"Then let him taste the loss of a loved one, too." The man grabbed Cassidy and said angrily: "You either pick up the gun and pick them up, or you can go back to the car."

Cassidy knocked off his hand and said angrily: "You are already crazy." After that, he turned around and walked towards the armored personnel carrier at the end of the road.

At this moment, a violent explosion came from the town, which was the sound emitted by the At4 shells exploded.

The man waved his arm and shouted, "Well done, all vehicles turn around and prepare to retreat."

He had limited attack weapons, so he only took out four at4 spares this time, leaving one in the convoy, and the team members in the town brought three. Originally, he meant to try his best to catch them, but he did not intend to use this weapon, but now he was blinded by revenge, so he gave this order. His men had also been conquered by fear and actually fired rockets at the house.
