TRS (The Robot Survivors.)

Chapter 4.

John showed the survivors inside.

"Who the fuck are they?" said Anna looking at the  van survivors as if they were some sort of aliens.

"These are the newest members of our group." John said.

"Okay , we are going scavenging now." said John.

"Will we come with you?" asked Marty.

"Yeah , sure. Hey , Jamie , help George here with the supplies from the van , bring them inside."

"Yeah , okay John." Jamie said smiling. Jamie was the only gay member of the group , he was Connor's brother.

"So , which of you is coming?' asked John.

"Sid and I are coming." said Marty.

 "So , are you going to tell us your names?" asked Sid along the way.

"Well , I'm John , that's Anton , Paul , Quentin , Connor and Mark." said John pointing to whoevers  name he said.

"Do you have jobs in your place?"

"I'm the leader , Anton , Paul , Mark and Connor are the scavenging team and Quentin is like a gun shooting teacher and weapon minder." John said.

"What about you and your group , did you have jobs?" Paul asked.

"We were never that organized." Marty said back. " I suppose I was the leader."

The group walked on , they were nearly at the small shop when some Casuals came by and attacked. Paul shot  a Casuals head , another one came behind him and swung it's claw at him , it scraped his cheek and he stumbled backwards. He screamed , a big piece of glass from a car had cut down his arm. His blood was making his white t-shirt dark red. The robot was about to move in for the kill when an axe came down right into it's skull.

"Not my brother , you little piece of shit." said Anton looking at the robot.

They dragged Paul into the shop and got some bandages and disinfectant spray from the pharmacy section.

"Why do you have that spray?" asked Sid.

"The glass could have had lots of germs on it and if we don't clean the wound , he could die from infection." Anton said without looking at him.

"While we are here , you should collect some other supplies." Anton said cleaning Paul's wound.

"Fuck that hurts!" said Paul.

"Robert will be able to stitch your arm so all I can do is clean it and wrap it in bandages , okay."

"Okay." said Paul looking at his arm.

Mark went over Sid where he was grabbing seven tubes of toothpaste

"Your groups rather small isn't it?" asked Mark.

"We like it that way , you only have three people to watch out for and trust , plus it's less likely they are cannibals." Sid said.

"Cannibals , Jesus Christ , what do you mean cannibals."

"Don't you know about the Cannibals , they killed Brendan , an old member of our group." Sid said surprised.

"How many of them are there."

"Dozens."

"Holy fuck!"

"They like to hide in the shadows , anyone robot or human in their  way will be killed. Shows how some people react in a crisis."

"Man." 

Anton was bandaging up the wound , it was important to stop the bleeding. Robert wasn't there but Anton went to scouts when he was younger and had learnt first aid  but he was no doctor. Anton looked at his gun , his granddad had taught him how to shoot. They went on hunting trips together. He knew his granddad would'nt have stood a chance against the robots. He was just a crippled old man. He loved him anyway , he was like a dad to him. Paul thought the same. The weird thing was that their granddad seemed to be more of a father than their real father. Paul and Anton never really had a good bond with their parents , they didn't care anyway.

John and Quentin were collecting any canned food within their sight.

"Do you trust that boy?" Quentin asked. Quentin was the oldest person in the bunker and he was very cautious.

"Who , Marty or Sid?" asked John.

"I don't know , both of them."

"I think they're okay." John said looking at Quentin.

"Now , I need to find some cigarettes." John added.

John walked away. Quentin frowned.

Then there was a crash , everyone stopped what they were doing. until someone shouted.

"ROBOTS!!!!"

Everyone got up and saw seven War machines , a dozen Casuals , three Crushers and two Elites climbing in through the door and windows. Marty and Sid opened fire.

The War machines fired back nearly hitting Connor. Mark and Quentin helped Paul up and brought him down to the back of the shop near the exit. Anton put a silencer on his gun and started shooting. He then got up and ran down the aisle towards the exit , the robots couldn't see where Anton was when he ran down the aisle and so they started firing everywhere , some of the bullets went through the products on the shelves of the aisle and nearly hit Anton .

Quentin ran forward and fired at a Crusher , but it wasn't dead. The Crusher tried to hit Quentin , then it smashed the floor with it's hands and Quentin fell over. John rushed to help him and shot the Crusher many times , killing it instantly. John was out of ammo , they needed to go quickly. Anton and Paul still had some ammo left but they decided to save it. The group ran out of the shop each holding an armful of supplies.

"Leave me!" yelled John. "I am defenceless."

Paul grabbed him by the arm. "We're not leaving you!" he said.

They ran out the exit to discover hundreds of robots coming over the horizon.

"That's not good." Paul said to himself.

"What would we do without having you here to state the obvious." Quentin joked.

Paul ignored the joke , he had bigger problems. An Elite fired a laser over their heads and the laser hit the shop setting it on fire.

"Lets get outta here!" said Connor.

As they ran along , Quentin dropped a box of in-date cereal , but he ran on , there was no time to go back. The War machines fired at them , Sid got shot in the arm. He dropped all of his supplies and screamed in agony. Anton ran to him and put a tea towel round his arm.

"There's no time for that now , we have to get to the bunker." John said.

"So your saying we leave him for the dead." Anton said.

"No , we need to bring him to the bunker."

"If we don't do something now , by the time we get to the bunker , he will have died of blood loss!" Anton said.

"If we don't keep running , the whole group will be dead , is that what you want?" John asked.

So Anton and Connor picked Sid up and tried to carry him to the bunker. He had already passed out from blood loss. They heard a gunshot and saw the whole bunker group fighting off some robots.

"Get into the bunker!" yelled John waving to them.

Everyone flooded inside , the robots were advancing , the bullets getting ever so close. The Elites flew high into the sky shooting lasers down at them , they were getting very close to them. Mark locked the door , he didn't know if any robots had gotten in.
