Chapter 34: Hand Wounds
Keep firing, KILL 'EM ALL!
"Oh dear, that doesn't sound fun at all. I'll wait for Alex to get back, he's good at sneaking into places. In the meantime, I should learn from Aaron how to fight."
Text Alex that I want him back ASAP, and go train my fighting skills.
Through the fire and pain, Alex regrips the automatic pistol and jumps out from the cover of the tree and fires into the church, (6 vs. 4) taking down 2 more Hellriders. The Hellriders return fire (3 vs. 1-1) and a stray bullet hits Alex in the left hand. (
Left Hand Injured: -1 to two-handed actions; Light Bleeding) Fortunately, it's not his gun hand and Alex keeps firing. (4 vs. 6) He gets nothing but church wall this time. (1 vs. 6-1) Alex reloads another clip as the Hellriders fail to shoot anything new at him. (2 vs. 5) He shoots more, but keeps hitting nothing. Man, that shot to the knee didn't help him at all. (6 vs. 5) Another bullet nicks his head, scraping it. That was close. (
Forehead Grazed) Alex fires into the church (5 vs. 4) and hits a Hellrider in the leg. Alex takes cover behind the tree again, wondering if he should finish the rest of them off, or get out of there without further bullet wounds.
Well, he's become a better shot during this time. (Pistol: Level 1)
Alex also gets a text on a phone from Jason: "Hey, come back ASAP."
------
After Jason sends the text he goes to Aaron to learn how to fight. (1) Somehow, he ends up mislanding a punch and injuring himself. (
Sprained Right Wrist)
"Any of you boys know somebody looking for work?"
"I heard the
Long Shou needed some stuff delivered."
"Am I really that damn obvious?" said Trent out loud to no one in particular.
Fuck me! I guess I might as well do some recon while I'm out.
Go check out the area where Wang and those cops were burnt whilst keeping an eye out for ANYTHING that's worth stealing
Trent heads into Hellrider territory to go check on the Wang and the cops corpses. Well, they corpses are mutilated and crucified. He heads further in looking for something to steal...(4) well, there's a pretty decent car just sitting in this isolated corner...
"Damn! This Isn't working, go buy a flashlight please."
Get man too take money, buy light, and come back.
One of Mason's men leaves for the store and comes back in a bit with a High-Powered Flashlight.
(-45$) (+High-Powered Flashlight) Begin teaching them advanced techniques. Combos, if you will.
Aaron decides to up the training of his men a bit by showing them combos. (3) The men seem to understand that a combo is where you punch and kick one guy a lot of times.
Jackson eats more ice cream.
