Chapter 24 Stand up!

The old veteran shouted with a heroic look.

" Die, you maggots. This is the United States of America. This is my home."

His words were echoing in the streets. All men took a deep breath and pulled out their guns. They put their family in their storm shelters to protect them.

Boom*

The bombers mercilessly bombed the house and the veteran. However, this even provoked the civilians. Men stood in the rubble and looked at the retreating planes. They knew that soldiers would come here soon. Hence, they picked up their guns and barricaded the ruins.

Click*

Especially, men were looking ferocious due to their obligations for their family. They were looking at the sky and the street with vigilance.

Arthur reloaded his pistols and he took one shotgun from the guard. He quickly disassembled the shotgun in front of others.

" Listen up, shotgun is the most lethal gun in the close quarter. Due to its unique bullet and strength, shotgun can kill almost everything in the close range. However, that doesn't apply to the vehicles. Therefore, I will modify my gun and you have to learn from it."

He quickly took out the main body components and he changed them with unknown parts.

" These are titanium parts, but I have limited supplies. Who want some of this?"

The guards and polices raised their hands. Arthur chose three fierce looking men and handed their parts. He demonstrated how to assemble the body and how to fire it. After doing that, he wore his glasses and his helmet.

" Look, what we have here? You already prepared yourself, don't you?"

Tanya came out from the corner with a hagard looking face. There were bullet marks and bruises were everywhere. She was extremely tired and was ready to pass out in any seconds.

Arthur smiled, he walked towards her. He lifted her up and said gently.

" You are late. Where is my coffee?"

Tanya struggled to get off, but she didn't have any strength to move. She rolled her eyes and said calmly.

" I drunk it on my way. Some idiots tried to kill me , just because I am an American."

Arthur flicked her forehead and walked towards the elevator. He put her down and said with a serious tone.

" Rest. The reinforcement is coming soon. I think they will come here in 1 hour. We have to hold the enemies off until they get here."

Tanya knew she was a burden to him. So, she obediently went to the lab and stayed inside.

Arthur shook his head.

" Women."

Bang*

Suddenly, he heard a gunshot near the building. Arthur's face changed slightly.

" Now listen up, they only have infantry because of our coastal defense. Their planes won't be coming soon."

The people sighed with relief and stood near their positions. Arthur was standing behind a big stone. He took out his gun and switched off his safety mechanism.

Crunch*

A man walked to the street with a solemn expression. He raised his hand and said loudly.

" Everyone, they are here. I saw their troops landing near the downtown."

Arthur clicked his tongue and motioned his men to take position.

Bang*

Suddenly, the street filled with gunshots and shouts. This indicated that they were here. Arthur nodded at the man and stayed behind the pillar.

Walk*

A whole platoon of soldiers was marching to their lab. They were holding latest assault rifle in their hands as they observed them.

Bang*

One of the police opened fire and shot the soldier.

" Сука!"

The squad leader cursed out loud. He gestured his men to take cover. Of course, Arthur understood his intentions a long time ago. He aimed at his head and pressed the trigger.

Swoosh*

A light like bullet pierced through his head.

Splattered*

The brain tissues immediately splattered with skull pieces and blood. Arthur didn't show any mercy as he fired continuously with elegant moves. He was dancing in the battlefield.

Polices and guards provided backfire to him. Arthur stood before the squad with a cold look on his eyes. He opened his mouth and said in Russian.

" Surrender or I will kill you."

The soldiers looked at him fear. He was like a grim reaper on the battlefield.
