The Newcomers

Chapter 6 THE INFO

In the time it took to set up beds (if you could call them beds)for Ian, Olivia, Gina, and Isaac, they had informed them that what everybody didn't know was that along with the Flare, the military base also accidentally realeased robots that were meant to be for battle against Cranks, but they malfunctioned and drove off into the Woods.
"So did you guys work for the military before WICKED got you or what?"
"Actually, yeah, we did. The reason nobody knows is because WICKED blew up our base and killed everyone in there except for me, Ian, Olivia, Isaac, and Gina. We got out just in time. I was forced to work for WICKED while the others were kept prisoner," Brenda told Thomas.
"What are the robots called?" Asked Thomas.
"Well, they're kinda like Grievers. Except they're robotic spiders, not slugs. And they're not slimy. And they shoot at you," Brenda responded.
"I said what are they called," said Thomas, a little frustrated.
"They're called the Hunters. And they track and kill people with the Flare. Even if they're Immunes," Brenda said. That got Thomas worried. He remembered what The Rat Man had said back in the Scorch.
"'You all have the Flare. You will get the cure if you survive the Scorch.' That's gonna be in my head forever. Stupid Rat Man. He baited us with something that dosen't exist," said Thomas.
"So if what you said is true about the Hunters, we're all screwed," Thomas commented.
"Not nessesarily. The Hunters have a weakness. Their face and neck. You punch between the eyes, it's dead, but, if you directly hit one in the eye, it will kinda just spazz out," commented Ian from the back of the room.
"Well, that's helpful. I mean, they shoot, but we can get around that small quirk in the plan, right?" Thomas sarcastically remarked.
"Well, you can't just wait. If we, the Survivors, want to elimentate the Hunters, we need to hunt them," Gina said.
"Well, that settles it," Thomas turned to face the rest of the Survivors, "Who wants to hunt the Hunters?"
