Dragged off (Part 2)
Admeet slowly woke up with the blinding sun welcoming him. The poison had gone away but it didn’t go away that easily. He felt terrible and weak. He looked around to see where he was. He was still in the same position when he became unconscious. Lying beside him however was a small SMG. Admeet thought now he was definitely hallucinating. However, he grabbed the SMG and stood up. He could smell something and it was near him. He turned around and saw the same Dagger Roach that bit him eyeing him and ready to pounce. Admeet felt more anger and adrenaline surge through him. He aimed the SMG at the Dagger Roach and pulled the trigger without hesitation. The bullets pierced through the Dagger Roach’s flesh and wounded it. It screeched in pain and ran of towards its nest. Admeet saw this as an opportunity to find Solister. He followed the dagger roach to a large hole in a pile of dirt.
The Dagger Roach scurried through the hole down a large tunnel. Without hesitation, Admeet crawled through the entrance of the tunnel. It only took around 3 minutes to reach the end of the tunnel and what Admeet saw was unbelievable. The Dagger Roaches had made a vast sanctuary in the ground. Many Dagger Roach Maggots were feeding on bits of flesh that the adult Dagger Roaches had found out in the open world. Admeet crept quietly around the main chamber. There were around 5 small chambers dotted around the wall. Each chamber contained a flesh pod and a nursery for the maggots. Admeet definitely knew that Solister would be in one of those Flesh pods.
He crept into the first chamber and opened up the flesh pod. The only things in there were some dead Zappflies and some Paramite legs. He closed the pod and exited out of the chamber. He then crept into the second chamber. He opened up its flesh pod and still no Slig. He exited the chamber and crept towards the third one. This time however, he found Solister lying unconscious at the bottom of the pod. “Thank god” Admeet thought as he picked Solister up. Suddenly, the cries of some maggots in their nursery sounded. Some adult Dagger Roaches came to investigate the noise. Admeet turned around and saw some adult Dagger roaches surrounding him. “Not this time” Admeet said to himself. He aimed the SMG at the first Dagger Roach and pulled the trigger. The Dagger Roach shrieked in pain as the bullets carved through its flesh. Admeet ran for it, carrying Solister on his shoulders.
More and More Dagger Roaches were following Admeet. The Cries of the Roach Queen inside the main chamber could be heard as well as the stampede of the Roaches following Admeet. He hastily crawled through the tunnel and shot out of the hole. Admeet and Solister tumbled to the ground. The dagger roaches came out as well. They were about to strike when they were shot to death by something. The other surviving Dagger Roaches scurried back down the tunnel back to the nest.
Admeet looked up and saw Zaypher holding an assault rifle. “Hello Admeet” He said. Other Sligs, holding various weapons, were aiming at the two Sligs. “Thanks for leaving me for dead” said Zaypher. One of the Sligs hit Admeet with the butt of his gun. Admeet fell unconscious and he was dragged away to a half-track truck. Zaypher and the rest of the Sligs jumped up into the truck cargo bay. Admeet and Solister were shackled to the floor of the cargo bay so this time they couldn’t escape. The truck drove off.
