The Slaughter
_1st Person POV_
Now not having a bullet in the chamber is a problem, but not having any at all is a bigger one. As I took in the situation, I hear three war cries and two howls of mutant hounds, digging my feet in the ground I steadied myself, I felt three bullets enter my chest and one crawl across the surface of my face, jumping towards the nearest I grab onto his pants armor and drive my blade into his stomach pulling back I stab him once more in the throat before burying my fist in the slit it made and slinging his throat out of place.
_Short 3rd Person POV_
During the time a chine is heard and a box in the upper left corner of John's vision says [New Perk Gained:Blood Rage] it went off once more with another chime saying [Welcome to level 3] before promptly dying off due to John still being in combat.
_1st Person POV_
As the mutant collapses I feel my arm returning to full strength, rolling sideways I pull my varmint rifle, and pop three rounds into the nearby melee mutie getting them all to collapse and one of them to have its arm fall off even though I only shot it in the head, time slows to a halt and I select the two hounds two times each with a reload in between I pop a sniper mutie in its head for a critical strike. All of them collapse leaving 5 and the behemoth, running to cover I swap to my service rifle before moving again due to the barrier falling to the barrage of gunfire, reloading the rifle I dive out of cover and crouch down while spraying a whole 30 round magazine it to the fray of mutants, three go down and another left gravely injured, and the last shot in his arm, avoiding a swing of a fire hydrant club I feel a bullet hit my leg I jump back enter V.A.T.S I bless my shot with the power of Jesus since it only has 67℅ of hitting and doing it five times with one extra at the beginning of it to reload the rifle, the bullets drive there, way to the mutants skull and three of the five burst hit killing the mutant, and one hitting the behemoth, claiming a section of its leg as It's own, knowing those fuckers don't go down the easy way I run from the behemoth towards the entrance where I had my first battle with them wanting to escape but knowing it to be dangerous too I grab the three left over rocket and dive into a store quickly binding the missiles together with some wires i was going to use to hang some of the materials of my backpack grabbing the grenades I had too besides one of them, i tied the rest to the missile contraption pick it up, and the left over grenade as i run out of the section and throw the contraption at the now 6 Feet away behemoth it makes contact with its lower stomach exploading on hit, the behemoth screams and fall back almost dead without thinking i ran to it used it arm to get to its face barred open it mouth while pulling the pin on the grenade shoving down its esoupogus before barely jumping away from the explosion causeing the mutant behemoth's throat to explode along with the rest of the nearby areas. Time slows down in the now empty mall with a prominent big screen saying

Looking at my stats I put 5 into Guns, 5 into Unarmed, 1 into Explosives, and one into Repair, with putting the final three into Science. Making it 35, 35, 25, 20, and 30 respectively, causing the screen to vanish and time to resume. Walking forward I check each corpse finding the and taking the following.
1. 28- .38 rounds, 42- 9mm rounds, 71- 5.56 rounds, and 7 308. rounds.
2. 136 caps in total hidden in the armor.
3. Finally four grenades and 1 one frag mine.
Taking the stuff and situate it into my side bag which is full now. I walk through the now empty mall loot about 52 more caps and some more rounds and look for some supplies, and quest items I found one undamaged romance novel, three gimmicks for Vind, a hose nozzle that can be used for the incinerator, and a harmonica and a set of 40 throwing knives in a hunting store. On the way out I pick up all the guns I can and stick them in my backpack, leaving only two unfinished quests left, Blanks and the raider that wanted an incinerator walking out I see...
