Chapter 59: Ghoul Duck Hunting 2
One down, nine more ghouls to go. Quagmire brought his bolt of action ever closer to the side of his cheeks, with a quick look at his surroundings and the distance before him and the ghouls, he aimed a little bit higher. Upon confirming the distance, he pulled the trigger.
The mechanism of the bolt action started to function, and with it, the bullet came out at a blistering speed. The bullet made a flash of light as it left a flash of light. Not only that, it left a trail of visibly moving air. It seemed to dance ever by the line it traveled by.
It struck the ghoul right in the forehead, the skull was shattered, and its disgusting flesh was pushed further inward. Unfortunately, it did not stop there for the ghoul, as the bullet penetrated further, and the flesh was pushed back further, until it finally went through the other side. The opposite of when it entered and finally exited.
By this time, the skull and flesh had already been effectively blown away, which made the ghoul look decapitated. With it, the ghoul fell to the ground lifelessly, with its body slumping to the ground in complete disarray.
Two down, eight more to go. Quagmire, realizing his predicament, tried to pick up the pace. He brought up his right hand and pulled the bolt, which ejected the used casing. After the casing was ejected, the mechanism automatically loaded another bullet from its storage inside. All he needed to do was slam the rod back into its place, and so he did.
The ejected casing fell and tumbled down the ground. With it, the gun was once again loaded. With quick and precise movements, Quagmire graciously worked the gun with swift and successive movements, and after a short while, he had taken two more shots and killed a further two ghouls.
After firing in successive motions, he broke his focus and lowered the rifle. First step, he took a massive breath, threw the rifle into his spatial inventory, and brought up the pistol from the holster at his side. With it, he once again realigned his vision towards the ghouls at his front. They were mere meters in front of him, which is why he stashed his rifle and brought out the pistol, as it is much more maneuverable and efficient in taking down a large group of enemies, due to being able to rapidly discharge bullets, or in specific terms, a higher rate of fire.
With the closest two ghouls closing, he took a step back and fired a shot; the ghoul went down, unfortunately, before he could realign his vision and body to move in for the kill, the ghoul had already leapt for his location.
The ghoul leapt through the bush. Fortunately, Quagmire was faster than the ghoul, and before it could scratch him or potentially take hold of him, it did not matter, as he was able to dodge fairly well. When it moved forward, he took the side, and this went on for a while.
A few moments had passed by, and it finally presented an opportunity, which he immediately took. He was able to make the ghoul stumble, and with it, he was able to finally move his sights onto the ghoul in front of him, and with a pull of the trigger, its mushy flesh scattered around the area.
The disgusting smell permeates the surroundings, which made his stomach upset. Unfortunately, he had no choice but to proceed. After all, there are five more ghouls coming towards him. Thus along with the nauseating smell, moved further into the woods.
He glanced from left to right and saw that he had almost made a complete circle into his base. Meaning, after finishing the ghouls before him, he would finally able to come back home.
Thus with growing confidence and fury, he once again raised his pistol and ran numerous calculations based on the distance, and with quick pulling of the trigger, he was able to let off three more shots that rang in the air.
During which three more bodies finally fell to the ground, dead. However, the two other ghouls were now so near him, so he took an unconventional action. Instead of maintaining distance he rushed forward like the madman he was.
With a few bullets left inside, he would need to sit down and reload it somewhere else, which would be very dangerous, as he was not really in a position right now to even be able to do such a thing.
He stepped forward and brought out his knife, and with a quick assessment of his adversaries. He fired point-blank at the two ghouls in front of him. The first ghoul was hit in the twos and fell to the ground. With the first ghoul down, he brought up his knife and charged forward to the last ghoul.
The ghoul, with its horrifying expression, moved forward and attempted to grab hold of Quagmire at a very fast and liquid pace. He dodged from left to right, and when he found the opportunity, he raised his knife and plunged it deeply into the ghoul's head.
Quagmire stared into the eyes of the ghoul and watched as its life was snuffed out right in front of him. The ghoul fell to its knees, and once he finally confirmed the ghoul to be dead. He pulled the knife and brought his pistol to the final ghoul that was wailing down its sides, as its legs and head were now shot, and so it could not really move anything efficiently.
With the pistol aimed at its head, he watched as the ghoul got mad at him. With a grin, Quagmire pulled the trigger. The bang came with a flash, and after which white smoke followed. The scene that was left behind was that of bloody rivers forming on the ground as numerous corpses lay strewn over the land.
Nevertheless, the hunting for today has just finished, unfortunately, with his enemies being ever persistent, the grounds suddenly shook in horror
