Raid team Alpha was approaching the Wal-mart™ at around 7 p.m. that night. Necro knew the crew that was with him. They all worked like a well-oiled machine
Because he trained them. That's mostly what Necro had been doing ever since Destructicorn sacrificed him. Yes, the name seems funny, but he was a funny guy. He was part of their Three Musketeers. And he sacrificed himself to save them.
Necro stops short, about 25 yards away from the supermarket. He motions for the two scouts to check the perimeter. The raid squad consists of the scouts, the leader, Necro, two combat specialists, one medic, and a technician. The scouts clear a perimeter of a 10 yard radius away from the store.
A thumbs-up followed with a snap is made. All clear. The rest of Alpha move in. A combat specialist, along with a scout and the technician go through a back door. The other scout and the rest of the group go through the front doors.
All is quiet. Several of the first few lanes are empty from previous raids by other survivors. Necro motions them to check other lanes.
"Be sure to check everywhere, guys," the medic tells the squad through their earpieces. They've been using a type of radio improvised from parts that have been scavenged over the year. The technician is one of the best when it comes to machinery and electronics.
Necro is walking down an empty aisle, keeping alert and listening for anything that isn't the sounds of his team scavenging. Ahead, and to the right, something moves. A metal clank is heard in the back of the store. All the raiders get prepared for combat, using a wide variety of melee weapons. Necro unsheathes Alucard, the katana that he has kept since eve before the OmaV Incident.
Out of the shadows, an infected lunges towards. With one simple, graceful movement of his arm, Necro slashes upwards with Alucard. Blood spatters and covers his face. The infected, now headless, lies on the floor beside him.
The combat specialist that was with the technician whips out a knife hidden in his boot and throws it across the back room he's in. The knife hits home, pinning an infected's head to the wall. Blood oozes down its face. The specialist retrieves his knife, causing the infected body to drop to the floor. The technician behind him gives an all-clear to the rest of the team.
They collected enough food to last Neptune another few months, and got more medical supplies. The bandits that have raided the store didn't look hard enough.
***
A few hours later, Alpha arrives at the police department. Their goal here is finding more weapons and ammunition. Again, the scouts check the perimeter. It takes longer this time, because there happened to be some resistance. After taking care of some infected, the all-clear is given. Necro points out the technician, a specialist, and a scout to follow him inside. The others are to wait and watch around the building.
Necro leads his small groups, designated as "Bravo", through the front door of the police department. The sounds of crunching and snapping can be heard. Bravo team ready their weapons and proceed slowly.
A loud shriek is heard. An infected pounces from their right side, tackling the specialist. The technician, who was behind him, uses his golf club and swings at the pouncer's head. The infected's skull caves in, killing it instantly. Blood spatters all over the specialist's face and sprays across a wall. Another infected rushes Necro, almost taking him by surprise. However, with one fluid motion, he cleaves through the infected's torso with Alucard, cutting it, diagonally, in half.
The specialist gets up off the floor. All is still. The squad is just listening, anticipating another attack.
Nothing happens. An all-clear is given, and they decide to scavenge the police department.
***
They arrive back at Neptune with the provisions from the supermarket and a decent amount of ammunition. Necro, after unloading his fair share of the luggage, goes to Rabbit.
"Well done, Necro, like always. Seems tonight was a good find. Don't get too comfortable, because DD has found something."
