65 Hunting in the dark alley (1/2)

There are about 2000 abnormals in that town. Rahul said that there should have been more. The town is certainly big enough for 12000 people.

But that's neither here nor there.

We need to deal with the situation at hand instead of thinking useless thoughts.

I'm pretty sure Rahul has dozens of ways to deal with this situation. I myself can think of a few ways to go about clearing the town. But I'm pretty sure he'll create the best plan for us.

That means that I don't need to worry my head over it. And I can have my rest in the calm before the storm.

After ten minutes of intense hushed whispers, they finally came up with a simple plan. (And by 'they' I mean Rahul, Jasvinder, Gaurav and Upma.)

The simple plan was:- To hunt the abnormals in the dark alleys.

It was a full moon and the eyesight of 2nd and 3rd tier abnormals is not very bad. Okay who am I kidding. It's very bad. But it's still far better than that of 1st tier abnormals. Specially the 3rd tier abnormals.

We don't want one of them to find our location and scream on top of it's lungs in order to warn his buddies. That would awake the horde which would then complicate the situation. And by 'complicate the situation', I mean it would put us in serious danger.

So we can't let the abnormals see us. Even by mistake.

Thus, we gotta stick to the dark side tonight.

The dark alleys in the town suited our needs perfectly.

So… Step one is to clear the alleys. No wait… Step one is to search for any 3rd tier abnormals.

If they're in the block, then we leave that block for later.

After we've made sure that there are no 3rd tier abnormals, we clear the alley of any abnormal presence.

Step next:- Lure the bastardsfrom the streets. Kill the bastards in the alley.

See. Easy peasy Japaneesy.

”Now let's get moving.” Rahul said in a no nonsense voice. In the voice of a leader.

I looked at the alley Gaurav had discreetly told me to get into and scrunched up my nose in distaste.

When they told me we were going to hunt in the alleys, they didn't say that they alleys would be so… filthy.

Now I'm no ultra hygienic person by any means. But I have my standards.

But this was an apocalypse. You don't get much choice in here anymore. You just learn to deal with what you get.

I gently lowered myself down to the alley which was overflowing with sewer water with a 'squelch' and tried to ignore the horrendous smell emanating from there.

Thankfully, there were no abnormals in here.

'Seems like they have a standard of hygiene as well.' I thought with a chuckle.

'Focus on the mission now Ashok.' Lily's gentle yet reprimanding voice rang in my ears.

'Yes maam.' I bowed in mock salute and then started to observe the situation outside.

The number of abnormals in the street was rather low. Much lower than the other streets.

About 50 or so. And they were scattered throughout the whole area.

'It seems that Gaurav wants us to start slowly.' I mused and peeked at the other alleys where the other four were hiding.

Yeah, we were working in three groups of 5 people each.
