Dawn of the Dead (TWICE)

DOTD #40

3rd Person POV:

"Ketchup? You there?" Chaeyoung's voice was heard through the earpiece

"Yes I'm here, what is it?" Mina replied

"Oh nothing, I was just checking if you were fine" Chaeyoung sheepishly said

"Well, I won't be of you keep on distracting me. I'm suppose to be stealthy and quiet, you know that strawberry right?"

"Oh yeah, sorry, my bad, I won't disturb you again" Chaeyoung lightly scratched her head

"You know we can hear you two lovebirds pretty well right? This coms is on public, not private" Tofu said through the earpiece with a hint of cringe in her voice due to the two lovers exchange of worries at each other.

Y/n and the others left Dahyun and Teudoongie back at the bus at the mall's very own parking lot with a hundred meter distance in between them. 

Chaeyoung, who has her face heating in red, muttered an apology

"So this is what it looks and feels like to have a lover eh?" Shiba decided to butt in the conversation

"Please Shiba, don't talk together with the others, its hard to understand each other" Tofu reminded the Shiba, while Sana being Sana, started to blabber nonsense into the mic

"Shlablahaishdiflashablashshsh"

"Sana your being childish as fuck, you want me to blast your head off? I could see your pea-size head on my scope" Tofu warned adjusting her scope at Sana who patiently waited at the mall's entrance. Dahyun is on top of the bus, laying on her belly with a silenced AWP sniper propped in front of her

"As if you could" Sana teased as she faced the direction where Dahyun is and gave her a middle fingah...

"What a bitch" Dahyun muttered as she averted the sniper on a nearby wandering zed, about 50 meters away from her.

With one squeeze of the trigger, the bullet effortlessly went through the skull and the zed limply falls down to the concrete floor with a light thud.

'First blood, with headshot' she thought to herself as she loaded another caliber into the chamber.

Mina was already 3 minutes inside the mall after she climb outside with the help of the rope and a grappling hook.

She is now looking for the control room while keeping the state of being undetected. She doesn't want to attract any unnecessary attention to herself, especially to the fact that she still didn't know what danger lurks inside.

After she successfully exited the rooftop stairs, she carefully weaved through series of hallways until she found herself on the 5th floor inside the mall.

"Guys, I'm in, do you copy? Proceeding to locate the room, over" she tapped to the earpiece

"We copy ketchup, proceed with caution. Eliminate any tangos on sight. We'll wait for the go signal. Over" Tofu acknowledges Ketchup.

"Copy, over and out" Mina then removes the earpiece to avoid further distractions and put it in her pocket, she'll use it once she finds the control room.

Meanwhile, Dahyun has already eliminated 3 more zeds that are wandering the area without causing an uproar since her sniper is equipped with a silencer, she had no trouble busting their rotting brains off.

'Killing spree' she thought

"Alpha team this Echo, wait for Foxtrot's go signal, over." Tofu said to Alpha team which consists of Y/n's group

"We copy, but I don't think the Shiba Inu does" Gucci replied in a seemingly annoyed tone, on the verge of exploding.

"C/n, can you look out on your own team please? You're the team leader here" Tofu rolled her eyes as she caught sight of Sana doing the 'shyshyshy' gesture

"What do you think I'm doing?" C/n reflect back as he urged Sana to stop and surprisingly, Sana obeyed Y/n's words without question.

Dahyun knitted her eyebrows together seeing this unusual behavior of Sana, like a dog obeying its master's orders.

With another successful thrust, Mina managed to cut a zed's head neatly without creating any noise besides the sound of the blood splattering on the tiles and a light thud of the zed's body collapsing to the ground.

She sneaked again and she noticed that her boots was now making a bit of noise.

Without ado, she removes her heavy boots and proceeded to walk inside the mall barefooted. This makes her more stealthier than ever and as a bonus, she can walk, run, and leap even faster without creating a single sound since her light feet is already resilient to it, due to her ballet lessons.

She continues the search for the room until she stumble upon a single beige door with a "Authorized Personnel only" sign plastered on it. She twist the knob but unfortunately, it was lock.

She pulled out her silence uzi and shot the knob with a round or two.

Two bullet casing dropping onto the floor was heard throughout the silent mall.

Mina bit her bottom lip as she scanned her surroundings for any zed that might heard it. She was fortunate.

She turned the busted knob once again and slowly entered. Her eyes lit up as she got eyes on the price. Before her was a wide rectangular table with series of buttons, gizmos and other stuff. 15 monitor screens were attached to the wall that displays nothing but statics and error colors. The buttons still gives off a small light which proves that there was still power left, which also means that the alarm was still on.

She scanned the buttons and a word that says "Main Entrance Alarm" caught her attention, she pushed the button and the sound of power clicking off was heard. She reached for her earpiece and contacted Dahyun

"Echo this is foxtrot, do you copy? I have the go signal, missions a go, I repeat, missions a go. Over."

"Copy that foxtrot. Sending the signal to alpha team. Be careful Ketchup. Over."

~

Y/n's POV:

"Echo to Alpha team leader, you're clear to engage. Over." Dahyun's voice was heard through my earpiece

Why does she have to make it sound like we were actual soldiers on a mission to assassinate a terrorist leader?

I decided to go with it anyways since the atmosphere feels so serious and heavy all of a sudden

"Copy that tofu. Over." I said as I look over at my team of cute kittens.

I wonder 'do these beautiful goddesses deserve to be out here?'

Well, goddess or not, I should not underestimate these girls before me, they might look pretty and gorgeous but they sure pack quite a punch that they might surprise you.

But still, as a team leader, its my job to protect them.

I gripped my axe "Don't worry, I got you guys covered. Let's go?"

I could already feel their spirits fired up as they nodded with determination.

Good, because things are gonna get nasty...
