Reversal

"Hissssss~" Crawling, the snake slowly inched up Christian's body, causing the man to tense up beyond belief.

But suddenly, something happened that froze Christian's thoughts.

The snake began to caress Christian's face with its head!

With a strange face, Christian raised his trembling hand towards the reptile, then touched its scales fearfully, and began to caress it gently.

"Hissssss~" As if enjoying it, the snake trembled slightly, causing Christian to sigh in relief at not being instantly attacked.

Gathering courage, Christian raised his hand and stroked the head of the snake, who allowed itself to be touched without any problem.

"Hissssss~" hissed the snake, then moved forward and climbed onto Christian's shoulder, being gently enveloped by the strange reptile.

Smiling oddly, Christian turned his head and looked at the reptile next to him, but a second later, his brow furrowed as he quickly grabbed his weapon.

Rising gently with the snake draped over his shoulder, Christian poked his head out and looked at the 15 women walking around, causing his expression to turn ugly.

Bending down again, Christian touched his knives hanging in his underwear and sighed "All or nothing... the sun is not up yet"

Closing his eyes for a moment, Christian took a deep breath for a few seconds, only to open his eyes again, and his entire vision turn violet.

"Fifteen enemies, all are more than 5 meters away, carrying flashlights..." Putting away his weapons, Christian pulled out 6 knives and divided 3 in each hand.

Closing his eyes, Christian whispered "15 knots of wind... I add 20 degrees on the throw for height..."

Opening his eyes, Christian progressed crouched down, and looked at the women, then waved his hands and threw all 6 knives at once, hitting each of them in the neck of a different person.

Hitting all 6 knives, Christian quickly pulled out the others and began to run towards them, quickly throwing another 6, but missing the sixth knife.

Without despairing, Christian took his last 6 knives and threw them, but as they reached them, someone reacted quickly.

*Bang!*

A single shot went out of the woman's gun before it fell to the ground, along with the others.

Standing still, Christian looked down at his leg and watched calmly as the blood seeped out quickly.

"Blood loss... Low blood flow, I won't be able to make big movements or much strength"

Walking with difficulty towards the corpses, Christian took out the knives one by one, then put them away uncleaned and began to check the women.

"3 canteens with water, dried meat, and many weapons, no one with a radio or cell phone..." With his hands full of blood, Christian took the magazines out of the women's pockets, and looked at the weapons "one M24 Sniper Rifle with a 1000-meter sight, three AK-74, five AK-47... one GP-25 with 7 explosive ammunition, 3 MP5 and two AKM... lastly 15 M9 pistols.... 12 Model 24 grenades and I have about 500 bullets in total."

Looking around, Christian confirmed that no one was there, and began to remove the bulletproof vests from the women, then pulled off his last piece of bandage and cleaned his wound "I have to get the bullet out..."

Picking up a military knife, Christian looked at the wound, and frowned at its depth "It almost touches the bone... if I take it out it will bleed a lot since it happens to carry veins... let's leave it there for now"

Pouring more water into the wound, Christian cleaned the surroundings and bandaged his leg, then got up, and started dragging the weapons, along with the vests towards the rocks.

After 10 minutes of several trips, Christian formed small covers with corpses on their sides with the stone covering his back, while almost all of his clothes were stained with blood from dragging the bodies.

With his safe place ready, Christian approached the hole and sighed with relief when he saw that the girls had a pink color on their faces, showing him that they were not cold yet and their situation was stable.

"That shot can ring out 2 kilometers in this open area... I don't think these women will be looking for us alone, I have to hold on" Coolly, Christian looked at the women in the hole and returned to his rock, then began to drag the bulletproof vests into the hole.

Gently lowering the vests, Christian covered the women's entire bodies, leaving only their heads exposed, while the last of the 15 he left for himself on the rock.

Nodding, Christian limped off to his rock, then sat back and sighed.

Picking up the M24 rifle, Christian checked the ammunition and nodded, then turned his gaze to look at the snake lingering on his shoulder.

"You saved my life by waking me up..." Gently stroking the snake's head, then turning his gaze and observing its tail "Now you will be mine...I see you are a woman...you will be called Lilith"

"Hissssss~" hissed the snake as it caressed Christian's face with its head.

"You are very beautiful Lilith, your scales are very soft" Gently caressing the snake, Christian spoke, then frowned and crawled towards the edge of the rock.

Peeking out, Christian saw a vehicle approaching, with a makeshift heavy machine gun behind it, while about 57 armed people were walking around, lighting up the entire area.

"Damn..." Quickly grabbing a bulletproof vest, Christian strapped it on as best he could and took a deep breath,

"We will have crossfire... the vehicle is civilian, they have no cover... it's now or never" Approaching again towards the rock edge, Christian picked up the GP-25 grenade launcher and whispered "Never fire this shit, but I know its basics..."

"87 meters away, 35 degrees up" Pointing skyward, Christian began to mutter, then took a deep breath and pulled the trigger.

Watching in slow motion as the large explosive falls, Christian smiled slightly, as he saw it over the vehicle.

*BOOM!

The car exploded and fire shot up into the skies, directly killing a handful of people from the blast.

"At least 7 dead" Picking up the AK-47, Christian rested it on his wall of corpses and took aim, then fired nonstop.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

With the first burst, 5 bodies fell, but at the same time, gunshots and screams started coming towards Christian, causing him to duck back into the rock.

Picking up another AK-47, Christian propped it up next to the other one, and without leaning out, started firing with both at the same time.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

"If they believe there is more than one person is shooting, they'll be cautious about approaching"

Gunfire rained down on the rock, while Taliban screams surrounded the whole place.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *

"I have to go lower" Taking the grenade launcher, Christian took a deep breath, then moved one of the corpses off his wall, and leaned out, causing blood to splatter on his face, from the shots that hit the corpse's skull.

Waiting for a few seconds, Christian quickly poked his head out and immediately withdrew it.

"60 meters, they're coming" Remembering where they were, Christian carefully stood up, and pointed skyward, then quickly reloaded the grenade launcher and fired.

*BOOM*

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Quickly reloading again, Christian moved the gun and fired away.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

*BOOM* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG

*BOOM*

*BOOM* *BOOM*

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

Having fired 7 times in total, Christian put away the last of the ammunition in the gun and picked up the M24 rifle, taking advantage of the momentary cessation of fire to poke his head out.

Squinting, Christian rested the rifle on the corpses, and began firing.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Quickly changing the magazine, Christian fired again.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

"12 more down" Christian whispered withdrawing his head quickly so that 5 seconds later, the bullets hit the rocks again.

"پرمختگ!" (Advance! -Pastun, Taliban language) One shout, in particular, was heard, causing Christian's brow to furrow as he understood what it said, and its distance.

"35 meters" Taking the five M67 grenades he managed to salvage from his kit, Christian began to throw them towards the other side of the rock aimlessly, hoping they would delay, even if only a little bit of the women's path.

"لپام کوه!" (Watch out!!- Pashtun)

Hearing the scream, Christian threw the last grenade in his hand towards where he thought the person was.

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom*.

Moving towards the other grenades, Christian began to indiscriminately throw the Model 12 Grenades.

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

Without waiting, Christian grabbed the AKM and walked over to the edge of the rock, then leaned his whole body out, and fired at the nearest people.

Bursts of gunfire came from Christian's gun, but at the same time, a burst of gunfire came towards him.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

With the magazine empty, Christian ducked behind the rock, and looked at his arm, noticing the blood seeping rapidly.

"I'm in bad shit-" Cutting off his words, Christian glanced sideways at a grenade that landed on the side of the rock right next to the makeshift wall of corpses, causing him to quickly throw himself as far as possible.

*BOOM!*

Flesh from the corpses splattered everywhere, arms, legs, even eyes were seen in front of Christian, while his senses were dazed by the nearby explosion.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

But still, he squeezed his eyes tightly shut and opened them again, then grabbed an AK-74 and turned around, instantly shooting the first woman who approached the hole.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

With the woman down, Christian walked as fast as he could to the left side of the rock, and leaned out quickly, shooting two women coming from that side, then leaned against the rock and shot towards where his wall of corpses was.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

With his senses working at maximum, Christian repeatedly aimed at both sides.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

5 more went down, but with his last bullet fired, Christian dropped the AK-74 and pulled out his Desert Eagle.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Breathing shallowly, Christian looked down as he switched the magazine, gritting his teeth, at the sight of his fully damaged bulletproof vest, as blood seeped from a hole near his stomach.

"I can't be defensive anymore..." Bending down with difficulty, Christian grabbed the gun from one of the corpses and moved forward.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Letting out a burst, Christian shot towards the people nearby, quickly taking down 8 other people who came running.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Falling to his knees, Christian gritted his teeth and leaned against the rock, while 2 more holes were visible in his leg.

Breathing shakily, and with no other people in sight, Christian reloaded the gun with shaking hands, and crawled as best he could to circle the rock again, then raised the gun and fired.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

"Haha~" Laughed Christian softly as he threw the gun away, seeing the whole place with no people standing, and the last 6 corpses lying on the ground.

Bringing his trembling hand to his chest, Christian looked at his blood, then muttering in a hoarse voice as his gaze returned to normal "I'm really in bad shit..."

"..."

Standing in the middle of nowhere, near an imminent death, Christian felt an immense loneliness in his heart, as coldness covered his half-naked body.

With total silence all around him, and the cold night in his heart, Christian watched the stars in the sky.

"Mom..." With a sudden emptiness in his heart, Christian whispered "Mother..."

"I... I miss them"

"I'll be in the dark..." Looking at the starry sky, Christian for the first time in his life, hated it, he really found all those lights in the sky disgusting "Loneliness... I don't want to die alone again... Mother..."

"Hissss~"

Startled momentarily, Christian slowly turned his gaze to his shoulder, finding the snake staring at him.

Smiling weakly, Christian whispered "I had forgotten about you little one, are you okay?"
