TRS (The Robot Survivors.)

Chapter 14

 Anton and Connor knew they had to move fast , Keith seemed traumatised , they didn't want to know why. But at least  he was alive and safe. They didn't know about the others , for all they knew , the others could've been the cannibals last meal.

"How the fuck are we supposed to get that key?" asked Anton.

"That should be easy." Connor responded as he knelt down and took aim at the cannibal with his gun.

"No!" hissed Anton. He grabbed the gun off of Connor to make sure he didn't shoot.

"If we go in shooting everything , the cannibals will wake up and kill us all." said Anton.

"Then how are we gonna get the key?" asked Connor.

"We'll climb up the rope ladder and slit his throat." said Anton.

"Okay , lets go."

  Anton and Connor ran to one of the cannibals tents , they hid behind it. They could hear some cannibals inside the tent snoring. The sniper looked at the tent Anton and Connor were behind. He aimed his sniper rifle at the tent. Anton feared the sniper had spotted them. The sniper fired , the bullet didn't hit anyone , it wasn't even close to the rescue party. Anton heard a squeaking noise from his left , he looked and saw on the ground a squirrel with a bullet hole in it's chest. Anton winced at the thought of eating a squirrel but if you were driven to cannibalism , a squirrel would sound like a lobster stuffed with caviar.

Suddenly two men got out of a tent , one with a long hunting knife and the other with a crossbow. Anton and Connor hid behind the tent. The two men started walking towards Anton and Connor. Anton took out his pistol in case he had to fight.

But then the two men saw the dead squirrel and they went back into their tent. Anton signalled to Mark to come over. He ran over to him.

"Okay , we're gonna climb up that rope ladder and slit the bastard's  throat." Anton whispered.

"Alright , I'll do it." Mark whispered taking out his knife.

"You sure?"

"Of course I'm sure."

Mark ran to the tree. The sniper looked down but didn't see him. Mark put his knife in his mouth and started climbing up the rope ladder. He finally got up to the branch the sniper was sitting on. Mark took his knife out of his mouth and grabbed the sniper's head , pulled it back and slit his throat. Blood poured out of the sniper's wound all over Mark's gloves. Mark covered the sniper's mouth so no one could hear him scream. After a while , the sniper died. Mark took the key and climbed down the rope ladder leaving the sniper's body in the tree. Mark tossed the key to Anton who caught it and ran to the caravan.

He put the key into the lock , jiggled it about until it opened. He threw the lock away and pulled open the door. Keith jumped out onto the ground , he started blabbering.

"Keith , it's okay , we're here , you're fine."

"They killed Marty , they ate him in front of us !" cried Keith to no one in particular. George was crying  aswell.

Anton saw Amy sitting at the wall in front of Marty's remains. She was crying.

"Amy?!"

Amy looked up.

"Anton!"

Amy ran to Anton and hugged him. She was overjoyed. Anton looked over her shoulder as she hugged him and he looked at Marty's remains. His head was there missing one eye , there was half of his leg and one full arm. Blood was everywhere. Some of Marty's intestines were on the ground. Anton felt sick.

 Anton , Connor , Mark , Gary , David , Ryan , Amy , Keith and George ran through the forest , after a while , they found the van. They drove back to the bunker. Anton opened the two metal doors in the ground between the two buildings in the alleyway. He walked down the steps to the two metal doors , he put in the code on the lock and opened the two doors and walked into the area where everyone hung out.

Everyone smiled as they saw Anton , Mark , Connor , Ryan , Gary , David , Amy , Keith and George. Anton saw Paul with a bandage around his shoulder. He smiled at him.

"Oh , thank god you're all okay." said John coming over to them.

"Not all of us." said Ryan.

"What?"

"Marty is dead."

John frowned , he didn't know if he could take another death.

"How did he die?"

"The cannibals ate him." said Gary.

"Okay , we'll have a funeral for him and Shelly." John said.

"Okay , Mark and Connor , will you two tell everyone."

"Yeah , okay." said Connor.

*******************************************************

"They will both be remembered." said John finishing his speech.

"Do you want to say something , Anton?" John asked.

Anton got up off his chair. The whole bunker group was outside , they were going to bury Shelly and Marty beside Sid. The sun was blinding.

"Shelly was my partner in this new world , her death shows how we need to change , no more secrets , we need to put aside our differences and work together. Anyone who can't just get along with each other does'nt belong in this group. " Anton looked at Amy she was beautiful so beautiful.

"And that's why today , I must tell you that ......... I killed Gerry."

Everyone was quiet. John was shocked. Amy looked at Anton.

"WHAT!" John shouted.

"I killed Gerry."

John was furious , he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

"I only did it to save the Mad man."

"THE MAD MAN , ALL HE'S DONE IS USE UP OUR SUPPLIES , HE DOESN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING AND WE FEED HIM , HE'S A CRAZY FUCK AND SO ARE YOU!" John roared. John punched Anton into the side of the face. Anton got up and tackled John , he punched him again and again. John managed to knee him in the stomach. Then he kicked Anton off him and started kicking him while he was on the ground. Paul pushed John away.

"Leave him alone you stupid asshole." Paul said standing in front of Anton.

Connor and Mark stepped in and grabbed Anton's arms and held him to the ground.

"He killed a member of our group!" John said wiping blood from his mouth.

"So you're gonna kill him?"

John didn't say anything.

"Like Anton said , if we're gonna survive , we're gonna have to work together , no secrets , no fighting."

John spat on the ground.

Suddenly , there was shouting. It sounded like a war cry. Paul looked in the direction the noise was coming from. He froze. Because a jeep was coming out of the forest followed by about forty men and women armed with a variety of weapons. They were marching towards the bunker group. It was the cannibals.

John swore under his breath. Connor and Mark let go of Anton. Anton took out his pistol.

"Ready for a fight?" he asked no one in particular.

"No." Paul replied pumping his MR51.

"Well .......... neither am I."
