Zyrok walked up to a ripped tent and
motioned for Stewart to take point. Stewart crept forward slowly and pushed the
tent doors open. A putrid and foul smell came out and Stewart gagged.
“Looks like we’re too late.” Zyrok
looked at a pile of mutilated bodies on the ground.
“Rest in peace.” Stewart mumbled.
“Collect their dog tags and let’s
see what happened here.” Zyrok spoke to Stewart as he walked to a cracked
monitor.
“Hey boss, we’ve got some zeds
coming here.” Taylor
shouted from the door.
“Take them out with your M21.” Zyrok
turned on the computer.
“Copy that boss, it’ll be done in a
minute.” Taylor
replied with excitement.
Zyrok focused on the screen and
looked at the computer.
“Authentication ID. Hmm…” Zyrok
studied at the screen as Taylor
fired his M21 in the background.
“All done boss, three tags here and
two more that we found in the other tent makes five KIA.” Stewart walked beside
Zyrok.
“Thank you Stewart, we’re still
missing a lot though.” Zyrok typed his name into the computer.
The computer beeped and asked for a
handprint confirmation. Zyrok took off his glove and placed his right hand on a
panel beside the keyboard.
“Welcome Lieutenant Charlie.” the
computer spoke with a female voice.
“Guys! I need a hand over here.” Taylor yelled as he
reloaded his gun.
“Give him a hand Stewart.” Zyrok
stared at the computer and spoke to Stewart.
“Voice command enabled.” the
computer spoke.
“Great! Retrieve data logs.” Zyrok
spoke to the computer.
“Retrieving data logs. One moment
please.” the computer responded.
“Boss, looks like the special
zombies. Burnt and the muscular ones.” Stewart fired his UMP at the incoming
crowd.
“Deal with them. Hold them off as
long as you can, I’m extracting info over here.” Zyrok said with annoyance as
the computer was pulling up the files.
“Thirteen data logs retrieved. One
emergency data log retrieved.” the computer had a flashing message icon.
“Play emergency data log.” Zyrok
commanded.
“Playing emergency data log sequence
Alpha Two One.” the computer screen faded and turned to show an injured marine
in front of the monitor.
“This is Sergeant Major Riley
Thompson of Omega Squad. We’ve encountered massive hostiles and are currently
defending this camp. Our communications was knocked down by what appears to be
a massive muscular zombie.” the video played.
“Give them hell Stewart!” Taylor shouted in the
background.
“Trying, but these suckers won’t get
down.” Stewart fired his UMP.
“We have many casualties and are now
holding the line.” the video continued to play as Thompson turned his head. “Oh
no! They’re in! Fire at will marines!”
Zyrok watched as Thompson turned
away from the computer and fired his M16. A minute later, the zombies swarmed
around him and knocked the computer camera to the ground. All Zyrok could see
was the zombies’ feet and a blood curling scream of Thompson in the background.
“Sequence Alpha Two One ended.” the
computer closed the video.
“Initiate data extraction.” Zyrok
took out his datapad and placed it on the hand scanner.
“Commencing data extraction to
remote device.” the computer responded.
“They’re getting closer!” Taylor shouted as he took
a step back from the entrance.
“We need to hold the line until we
recover the data.” Zyrok took out his USP.
Zyrok looked at the horde of zombies
and felt scared for his first time. The horde consisted mainly of the burnt
and muscular zombies. This was Zyrok’s first time having to fight the special
zombies and he had no idea how to effectively take them out.
“Echo 2-3, this is Echo 1-3. Come
in, over.” Zyrok spoke on the RaidCall and fired his USP.
“Echo 1-3, we read you, what’s up
boss?” Casey replied on the RaidCall.
“Requesting immediate backup at the
command tent. We’re pinned down by a horde of specials.” Zyrok reloaded his
gun.
“Roger Zyrok, we’re on our way. ETA
five minutes.” Casey replied.
“Roger that.” Zyrok replied with
disappointment, “1-3 out.”
Zyrok looked at Taylor and Stewart
and then looked at the horde. He knew they weren’t going to make it.
“This is it gentlemen. You all heard
Casey from the comms. They will be here in five.” Zyrok fired a few rounds and
killed a burnt zombie.
“It’s been an honor sir.” Taylor saluted as he
dropped his empty M21 onto the ground and pulled out his Lock 17.
“Likewise.” Zyrok saluted back.
“I’m with you all the way Zyrok.”
Stewart saluted.
“Thank you guys.” Zyrok saluted and
fire three rounds into the horde.
“Data extraction complete. All files
transferred to remote device.” the computer spoke in the background.
“Go get it boss, we’ll give them
hell.” Stewart sprayed and took down one muscular zombie.
“The mission comes first.” Taylor reloaded his gun
and fired.
Zyrok handed his USP and two clips
to Taylor and
ran towards the computer. He picked up the datapad and glanced at the
downloaded files.
“Alright marines, let’s push our way
out of here.” Zyrok picked up an iron pipe on the ground and ran towards his
men.
“I’m game, let’s get out of here.” Taylor placed his empty Lock
17 into his holster and fired with Zyrok’s USP.
A muscular zombie charged at the
marines and swung at Zyrok. Zyrok miscalculated the swing and got whacked to
his back. The swing of the zombie was so powerful that it flung Zyrok into a
nearby tent causing the tent to cave in on him. Zyrok’s helmet cracked and had
a gash to his back as his flak jacket ripped apart.
“Zyrok!” Taylor shouted as he saw Zyrok fly across his
face.
Zyrok’s head throbbed with pain and
vision began to blur as he heard his men scream as the zombies swarmed around
them. Zyrok felt useless as he was pinned down by the metal poles from the tent
holding him down. He saw one of his men get ripped apart as pieces of his body
flew everywhere. Suddenly an explosion occurred at the rear of the horde and
flung zombies everywhere. Zyrok knew it was too late as he fainted by the
blinding flash and saw the zombies beginning to move towards him.

Forester took point and slowly
walked to a lifeless marine on the ground.
“Cover me.” Forester shouted as she
approached the body.
She flipped over the body to a
bloody Stanley.
Suddenly the lifeless Stanley
opened its mouth and attempted to bite Forester. Forester knocked the infected Stanley and pulled out
her sidearm and fired once.
“He didn’t deserve this.” Forester
mumbled as she pulled Stanley’s
dog tag from his neck.
Stanley was a light-hearted fellow and
interesting marine. Even though Forester met Stanley on the way to the armory, she felt
pain as she lost a good guy.
“We’ve got Private Hemmings here.”
Mitchell shouted as he walked past some debris and pointed at a marine missing
its legs.
“Double tap and take his tag.”
Forester spoke with sadness in her voice.
“No zeds here.” Tyler scoped the perimeter.
“Let’s keep searching.” Forester
motioned on.
Forester walked to a cracked
building beside the plant and noticed a pile of mutilated bodies.
“We’re too late.” Forester saw a
decapitated Stokes in the center of the pile.
“We’ve got some bodies from Omega as
well.” Milo shifted through the pile of
corpses.
“Looks like this was their holdout.”
Mitchell looked at the makeshift barricades.
“We got a survivor!” Milo shouted as he saw a critically wounded Michaels
buried in the pile.
“Get me morphine Tyler.” Forester rushed over to the wounded
Michaels.
“Michaels! Can you here me?” Milo gently shook him.
“Huh?” Michaels spoke wearily.
“Here you go LT.” Tyler handed a morphine needle to Forester.
“This will make you feel better.”
Forester injected the needle into Michael’s arm.
“Kill me please…” Michaels begged.
“Where are the others?” Forester
asked.
“Dead, all dead.” Michaels coughed
blood.
“Sergeant Stokes mentioned about a
massive thing. Where is it and what is it?” Forester held onto Michael’s hand.
“No idea…never seen it. A bulky
muscular zed around two stories high. Please kill me. I don’t want to turn into
one of them.” Michaels gripped Forester’s hand tightly.
“Did you know where it went?”
Forester slowly took out her sidearm.
“Headed North towards the Omega
Squad’s camp.” Michaels continued to cough blood.
“You did great Michaels. You are a
hero.” Forester thanked.
“Thank you Lieutenant Forester.”
Michaels smiled and closed his eyes.
“God be with you Steve Michaels.”
Forester pulled the trigger and placed a clean shot to Michaels’ forehead.
“God damn it!” Mitchell kicked the
ground in frustration.
“I know how you feel Sarge.” Milo sympathized.
Forester pulled the dog tag off
Michaels and placed it into her pocket.
“Search for any weapons or ammo you
can find. We’ve got to warn Echo Squad.” Forester picked up a HK69 beside
Michaels.
“Whatever it is, I’m going to
freaking kill that monster.” Mitchell picked up a M16 with half a clip.
“Me too.” Tyler searched his area and found a magazine
for a Lock 17.
“We all are.” Forester pitched in
and took out two fresh clips from a body from Omega Squad.
“Here, take this LT.” Mitchell
offered the looted M16.
“Thanks.” Forester graciously
accepted it.
“I’ve already got a primary.”
Mitchell patted his MSG-9 on his back.
“Echo Squad, this is Fire Team
Tango. Come in, over.” Forester spoke on the RaidCall.
“Fire…Tango…what’s going…over?”
Casey replied on the radio with interference.
“Echo, you’ve got a massive zombie
heading your way. What’s your status?” Forester replied.
“Copy that, currently
heading…Zyrok’s team for backup.” Casey replied.
“Roger, we’re coming ASAP to
assist.” Forester responded quickly as she had a flashback of Stokes’ distress
call before all communications went out.
“Copy…Team Tango…Echo…out.” Casey
replied.
“Alright marines, let’s hustle and
hunt down that monster and assist Zyrok’s team.” Forester commanded and began
to run.
“Let’s get there in time!” Mitchell
hoped. “Double time marines!”
