She knew she didn't have much time left the worlds best couldn't stop them and that meant the likes of her wouldn't with her little skills she'd made it this long with luck and so many sacrifices. Oh those she'd lost. She knew if it wasn't for their sacrifice she wouldn't be here and so she couldn't give up but the screams also couldn't give up to let her sleep. It was going to haunt her for a short while as that was probably all the had left to live and as much as she feared t happening she knew there was little to stop it. It felt as though she was blessed to have had a gas mask at the time to purify the air getting in to her because all the others weren't so lucky and it got inside them as they breathed, hid and cried. It stopped for no-one. They were so close to winning for it all to be over but they just couldn't make it in time to the Ark to activate it. She was huddled in the corner of the barracks with the magnum sitting in her hand like a lifeline or escape...but it wasn't how she wanted it to end but then again she and billions didn't either. Scuttling along the floor with its sickly yellow bulbous body moving by with grotesque ease on it evil little tentacles brushing up the wall and floors spreading this plague to anyone out there hiding.
With that a scream echoed through the hallways with a crack of bones that would pop from its socket and bend and contort in ways not physically possible while breaking down the persons mind turning limbs in a grim balloon or sadistic whip. Another scream was heard closer and she hugged the magnum closer with the cold metal resting close against the cold crimson blood on her arm. Was she dying? She didn't know or expect anything else. This was the end. The flood was everywhere and moving anywhere was impossible without unleashing a personal armageddon as they track you endlessly. She was hungry and dehydrated and all this had only happened in a matter of hours. One the large mega cities fell that was it everything was consumed and it was likely to have spread to other planets as well. There was nothing left to do but survive.
She had to move the storage room was just at the end of the corridor and it was quiet. No creaking of bones, no shuffling of limbs and the screams were far from her. This was her moment, so she pulled her self from behind the large filing cabinets that had been thrown around and stepped out into the corridor. She couldn't lie it wasn't a pretty sight with sparking cables, green goo and a severed leg stopping a door from closing there had been a war in here and there was no doubt about it. She pulled the magnum up and slowly moved along the hallway seeing blood up and down the walls human and other alike, she made it down to the storage room. It would have food and water for months, ammo would be plentiful and it is super secure with it being airtight and only few people allowed in. Then it struck her, she didn't have the code. She felt like giving up it was too much for her but in her slump on the floor she saw a small tear of post-it note and it read 200304 with the 4 slightly smudged. She could have jumped for joy but it would have been to loud so she pressed it in and it let out a whoosh and opened. She smiled but then it dropped into horror to see the formation of a proto-gravemind right in front of her. Clicking could be heard as some of the flood infected marines moved forward so she ran harder and faster than ever before towards the end on the hallway. There was a window. She could jump, who knew how high it was but they were gaining on her. So she shot the glass and with a shattering sound and diamond like shards hitting the ground she leaped….
