Chapter 84: Defence

James put Shizuka down. She looked dazed and tired. Her eyes slowly closed. He put her down on her shirt. "Jasmine, could you stay near Shizuka?" James asked. He could hear the second turret firing off now. 

"Sure, " Jasmine replied, looking at James. She smiled. James took his shirt off and wrapped it around Shizuka. 

Saeko looked like she wanted it. He put his pants and underwear up. "Let's go and check it out," James replied.

"Like this?" Rei asked. She saw James shirtless and licked her lips. He had such a good body, she thought. 

"What do you mean?" James asked. 

Lois giggled. She walked over and touched his bare chest. "You can be distracting to us maidens," she teased. 

"Especially my little girls," Yuriko said, smiling. 

"Mum," Saya said. 

"We should investigate the gunfire," Saeko said. 

They all nodded and headed to the entrance where the two turrets were. 

They saw the turrets whirred to life, firing relentlessly at the approaching horde of zombies. The muzzle flashes illuminated the darkened landscape. The sound of gunfire was deafening.

The first zombie that stumbled into view was wearing a tattered gown. It was hanging loosely from her frame. Her eyes were cloudy and devoid of life. There were chunks of flesh which were missing and bones could be seen. Behind her, another zombie in farmer's clothes lurched into the line of fire. The overalls shirt was ripped and smeared with grime. His face was half-missing, the lower jaw hanging by a thread of sinew. Among the horde, a zombie there was one wearing a suit that was torn and muddy, the white shirt underneath stained with dark, dried blood. His face was twisted and teether were missing. Another zombie, a large woman dressed in a blood-soaked nurse's uniform. Her cap was askew, and a stethoscope dangled around her neck. The uniform had stains of blood and dirt. Her mouth was agape, revealing broken and jagged teeth.

The turret continued to fire, each bullet finding its mark. The zombies all fell down, however there were many more behind them. Lois aimed her M4W, she switched to the underbarrel grenade launcher. She pressed the trigger and fired a shot. The tube went through the air and impacted the ground in front of the zombies. There was a large explosion which threw the zombies into the air. Their lifeless back slammed back into the ground. 

"Nice shot," James commented. Lois smiled and nodded. 

"There are more," Saya added. 

Rei raised her M4W. She lined up the shot and held down the trigger. A barrage of bullets fired from the barrel. The bullets went towards the hordes of the zombie. The bullets hit the zombies head as they went down. Rei smiled. 

Saya aimed her Ray Gun. She pressed the trigger multiple times. A beam of red waves went towards the zombie group. The zombies got hit by the waves and their body parts started to go flying everywhere as they all dropped to the ground dead.

"Keep it up," Yuriko said. She aimed her Jackal. She could feel something about it was different. She closed her one eye and aimed down the sight. She saw a zombie approaching them. She pressed the trigger and fired. The bullet left the chamber however Yuriko stumbed back. James caught her.

"Careful," James said as he smiled at Yuriko. Yuriko could feel his warm chest on her back. She quickly got up, looking a little flushed. 

"That was a heck of a shot," James added. He saw the bullet race towards the zombies and hit the first one in the head. It went through his skull and hit a second zombie in the face and went through him. It hit the third zombie in the neck and pierced it, leaving a gaping hole as it hit the final zombie in line in the chest and went down. 

"A quad kill," he smiled. 

"It was more the gun," Yuriko said.

"We got two of the armour wearing ones," Saeko spotted. James saw the two Manglers approaching them. One of them was charging its right arm. They could see it was vibrating and glowing orange. 

The Mangler fired the energy beam at the turret. The turret got hit and was knocked back onto its side. "The turret is down," Lois shouted out.

"These things," Rei said as she aimed her M4W and fired at the Mangler. The Mangler got hit with a barrage of bullets. He stumbled backwards until he hit a claymore. There was an explosion which took out some zombies nearby. 

"The other is charging," Saya said, seeing his hand vibrating and glowing orange. 

"Aim for the cannon," James ordered. Saya and Yuriko both aimed their weapons. They pressed the trigger. A red wave left Saya`s gun. A bullet left Yuriko`s gun. Their shot hit the energy weapon on its right arm, causing it to explode. 

"Arrrahhh," the Mangler shouted as he felt his arm get destroyed. 

"Got it," Saya said. The Mangler charged towards the girls. His eyes went redder. Saya and Yuriko saw him charging. They fired their guns again. Yuriko hit his chest causing him to stumble backwards. While Saya hit his head, causing the helmet to go flying off.

"Gross," Yuriko added. Lois saw this and aimed her M4W and fired it at the Mangler. All three of them fired their guns at the Mangler. The Mangler got hit by the barrage of bullets and went down. 

"We got it," Lois said. 

At that moment, the second Mangler recovered from the Claymore explosion and charged towards the girls. Rei aimed her M4W and fired her gun. The bullets hit the zombie. His helmet was knocked off. His armour plates fell off. However he kept coming. Saeko ran towards the Mangler from the right. She jumped into the air and slashed the Mangler`s head off. His body came to a halt and collapsed. 

"Thanks," Rei said. 

Saeko nodded and smiled back. 

The turret kept firing until the last zombie was down. 

"Excellent job everyone," James said. He thought he did not need to transform this time. The girls handled it perfectly. They had upgraded weapons which helped and the turrets however defeating a horde of zombies with two boss zombies this easy was still an achievement. "I am proud of you all," he added. 

"You didn't do anything," Saya muttered. 

"Danna-sama, this place is not safe," Saeko remarked. 

"Yeah, we don't know when they will be back and maybe staying in one place for too long attracts them," Yuriko suggested. 

"That could explain why there were two of them," Rei added. 

"Okay, let's head out," James replied. He did not want to stay here longer than they have. "Okay, let's pack everything up and leave. I think everyone is well rested," James added. 

"Some more than others," Lois teased. They headed back to Jasmine and Shizuka where Jasmine had managed to put some clothes on her. Shizuka was still fast asleep. Lois, Yuriko, Rei and Saya had packed up the turret and Turbines and put the back in the Humvee. James, Jasmine had managed to get their camping stuff back down again and put Shizuka in the back seat. James was amazed to see how heavy a sleeper she was. 

Lois took the wheel of the Humvee. Everyone else got in the humvee. Jasmine sat behind James on the bike. Jasmine figured it was her turn. "This does feel nice," Jasmine said, holding James back. She smiled. Her perfect prince, she thought. 

James felt her breasts on his back. They were definitely not as intrusive as the other three girls however they still felt good. "Hold on tight," James said as he took off.
