Escape From Remnant: A Tarkov X RWBY Crossover

Chapter 55: Smooth Operators

All the 3 of them could hear were gunshots, in what had to be a massive cascade of groups ranging from mercernaries, scavs, and god knows who else. Moron, Akula, and Neo found themselves in an incredibly shitty position. They were all hiding in the hollow husk of an Underway sandwich shop in the Interchange shopping mall. There had to be at least 20 combatants all hunkered down in the various stores on both the second and first floors.

What had started with someone opening the gun store on the first floor turned into a massive cluster fuck. The sirens were like a lamp in the dead of night, attracting swarms of insects fooled into believing it was the sun. The only difference is that these insects were anyone in the shopping mall armed and dangerous. All Moron, Akula, and Neo had to do was check the food places out for the mysterious Fence in Interchange for if the cooking appliances were still intact only to get into this mess. Only lord knows what Fence wants to do with the cooking appliances of Interchange. They don't even work anymore, having been left there to rot since the evacuation.

If they were still working by some miracle that EMP would have knocked them out cold for sure as a final nail in the coffin. But it wasn't their place to question such details. The trio managed to haggle their way through the Burger Spot, finding the kitchen was intact because no one had any use of the stuff in there now. Similarly, the pizza store was the same deal and reason. They then made it to the Underway, and the door to the gun shop was thrust wide open, attracting all sorts of vagabonds to the area.

"Well shit we're in this now comrade." Moron said, turning to both Akula and Neo as they hid behind the sandwich ingredient station of the Underway. So far, no gunshots were heading towards them, but it was a guarantee that the person on the other side directly across would instantly shoot them if they peeked out.

"No kidding, fuck how much more shit do we have to check!" Alula slaps his own head in frustration at the situation they found themselves in.

"Tarbucks...that sushi place...food court...fuck does the IDEA have the food court they usually do? You know the one with meatballs and mashed potatoes covered in gravy- ow!" Moron listed off trying to think of what stores they needed to check next after the Underway if they were gonna make a break for it in the not so distant future. But as he started to lose the plot and delved into IDEA canteen Swedish food, Akula gave him a light slap on the helmet.

"Dude... do not make me hungry... I'm sure Neo can testify, too." He commented, gesturing to Neopolitan. Indeed, if she could speak her mind right now, she would profess how much she wanted ice cream. Any type of ice cream would do at this point given the dire situation and the lack of perishable delicacies like ice cream, which are incredibly impractical to keep in an environment like tarkov.

"In any case, I think we have to make a break for it... The best bet would be the book shop across..."

"I wager that there's at least 3 men in the Jacob store overlooking us right now." Akula confidently blurted out.

"Yes, which is why I have a plan..." Moron unslung his RPG-7 launcher from around his person and to load it with a fragmentation rocket. It was difficult to move such a large weapon in a congested space like where they were hiding. At one point Moron moved the end of the launcher up above the cover of the counter which could've ended really badly if either the enemies discovered they had a RPG launcher or just shot up his launcher making it too dangerous to operate.

If anything there already was a problem, the place was too damn small to fire the RPG. Akula noticed this straight away while Neo was more oblivious to earth weapons being more dangerous to the user than remnant ones.

"Are you fucking crazy?! Your going to blow us to kingdom come deliverance with that back blast!!!" Akula scolded Moron who just scoffed at his remarks.
