1 Chapter 2 Infection
The man flailed around in his vehicular prison as he began to change into one of those horrid creatures. Mike closed his eyes as he knew he could not help him. A tear ran down his face as he fell to the floor and began to break down. Raven ran to his side and began to comfort him "Its gonna be okay baby just calm down" she said as she stroked his hair. Gunshots came from outside and everyone ran to the window. The truck was riddled with bullet holes and the man inside was still. Mike stopped for a second and listened to hear moans coming from outside. Hundreds of them filled their ears as the soldiers outside began to fire again. Not but a few minutes of firing went on when the soldiers began to scream for they could not hold off the incoming zombie horde. The soldiers were ripped apart the zombies chewing at their flesh eating them alive.
The zombies finished licking the bones clean as they wandered around aimlessly in front of the house. Everyone inside shivered in fear, there were just too many of them to hold off and the only way to survive would be to barricade all the doors and windows but making noise could cost them. They all thought and whispered their plans silently in hope to figure something out. Seth paced behind the sofa while Raven held the children. Mike knelt in the corner as he pondered about their current situation, he thought of what they could do and how they could escape this hell.
Mike slowly crept to the window and peaked out seeing that the zombies had cleared out. Suddenly a zombie crashed into the wall next to the window and began to rub its bloody face against the glass. Mike quickly backed away and stared at it in disgust " We need to do something while they are gone". Mike grabbed the sofa and slid it in front of the door while seth went and grabbed a hammer and nails out of a closet in the hallway. Seth began hammering the nails into a cabinet door that he ripped off the hinges while Mike nailed 2x4's he was using to remodel the bathroom across the door. Raven and the children loaded weapons and prepared extra clips of ammo just in case. Mike looked at Seth with a questioned look on his face "Do you know anything about this virus or what exactly is going on" Seth looked around trying to avoid answering. Mike suddenly grabbed Seth by the collar of his uniform and slammed him against the wall "What ever it is that you bastards let out here has put my family in danger now tell me what the Hell is going on" Mike said angrily as Seth slowly lowered his head. Mike let go of Seth's collar.
Seth sat down Indian style on the floor "well this isn't even the worst to come, there is a lot worse than this I'd hate to be the ones around the Phoenix, Arizona area" Mike paced back and forth still puzzled about all of this Seth leaned back against the wall and relaxed his body "the government has been working on an elite soldier, a killing machine, but everything they did failed so they decided to make it out of dead tissue." Seth paused for a second and took a deep breath "they started working on a virus that makes the tissue immune to pain, radiation, sickness and it doesn't need food or water to survive."
Still puzzled Mike paced around the room stopping every now and then to look at Raven and the kids. Seth began to snicker "and those poor bastards in Phoenix, they let the evolved ones have'em." As soon as that left Seth's mouth Mike had him by the neck holding him against the wall "why did they do it" Mike said angrily "why did they make my best friends into monsters and take almost everything I ever knew away." Mike's grip loosened as Mike began to cry again, Seth fell to the ground again "well the evolved ones move faster and are well..." Seth paused for a second "well they aren't human."
Mike fell to his knees and placed his face in is hands Raven ran over to comfort him again but suddenly Mike jumped up ran towards Seth striking his face with his fist. Seth fell to the ground his face covered in blood from his broken nose when suddenly we heard moans outside the door. "They must be attracted to the blood" Raven proclaimed as she peaked out the window, it was like a sea of reanimated corpses all of them blood craved and ready to strike. They all ran at the house charging the weak points like they knew what they were doing. One Broke through the window and grabbed Seth clawing his shoulder as Seth tried to escape.
