Chapter 1: Ambush - Run for your life !
Posted: Fri Aug 22, 2014 8:16 pm
November 2020.
Was it one year or more? You lost the track of time since you arrived to the Bristol labor camp, you do know that it is November now, which day, does it really matter …
The labor camp is a dense ghetto made from scraps of steel that the prisoners themselves built to form sheds for sleeping more than 20 years ago. How many lives and souls slept on the wooden banks of the sheds and stepped on the muddy ground. The labor camp was built in the remains of the old stadium of the football team Bristol Rovers. The lawn was long gone and the lower parts of the tribunes were destroyed many years ago, leaving the upper parts as walls where few German soldiers and many robots known as securitrons patrol.
Every day, except Sundays, the British, Irish and French males and the females that are able to work are going to work outside the camp under heavy security. They are transferred to the coal, iron and clay mines and stone quarries to work and excavate minerals for the German empire. The elder and the weak are left to take care the livestock and other mundane works.
Today is such a day, but there is a rumor that today’s work is not the horrible mines in Wales but an underground factory where the German pump out underground water. One of the older prisoner says that the factory is located some 140 km from Bristol in the direction of London as he was there several years ago. You are ordered to change the prisoner’s outfits with the laborer outfits. A light orange overalls over regular cotton cloth. The heavy overalls keeps the body warm in the cold November month and is a good light reflective outfit to prevent from the brave and stupid to escape, it’s like a beacon on a dark background and those who are foolish enough to take it off endanger themselves to die freezing.
Large column of trucks travel the M4 out of Bristol to the East. The trucks are secured and locked. When you board one of the prisoners’ truck you see that the convoy is leaded by an officer’s shielded car, an equipment truck, 3 workers trucks, 3 empty water tankers and gestapo soldiers truck equipped with automated turrets.
It’s cold outside, probably a cold front is approaching as a blanket of stratus clouds cover the sky.
**********************************************
“BOOM” A large explosions deafened you and is followed by another one. Clearly, something is happening outside. The German soldier that drives the truck you are in takes a sharp turn (Dodge check everyone to avoid being crushed on the opposite side and suffer 1 point of damage) and race, probably, from the road to the a bumpy ground until the truck is smashed into something hard (Another dodge roll everyone or suffer 1d3 damage). “BOOM” – another explosion is heard as you gather yourself and try to stand. Then, a loud whistle and another explosion, sounds like a missile was launched, moments pass and a gunfire battle can be heard.
The door is open!
Says Kevin, one of the prisoners you are familiar with that sat with you in the truck. He kicks the back door of the truck open and jumps outside. He scans the surrounding with panic.
The convoy was ambushed … Jesus Christ, mutants, run for your life!
He calls in panic and helps Natasha, a nurse with a bleeding bruise on her forehead to step down into the forest floor. You are 100 meters from the road, the truck rushed through the forest before smashing into a large oak tree. On the road, you spot some trucks on fire and other completely destroyed. The German soldiers’ truck was not struck and the soldiers came out to battle the mutants. The turrets are programed to fire on anyone who is not dressed in the German uniform in a time of crisis or combat.
We must escape, into the forest.
Says Kevin.
If the German soldiers will die, god will save our soul if the mutants will chase us, we have no chance. Flee!
With that, He, Natasha and another man known as Jeffrey, a past farmer begin to run south.
