Stalking down the corridor, Miric avoided the electrical wires hanging from the ceiling. Peaking into a room, he saw something moving.
"Excuse me...?" He asked as he put safety off the rifle. The figure, not reacting to his voice, seemed to approach him. "Stay back!", he popped forth, aiming at the figure. A groan and five shots later, and the zombie was on the floor "Oh dear..."
He continued down the stairs, looking at the bodies to his left and right. He noticed the door to the office complex had been unlocked. On further inspection, he could see the bloody footsteps of a HEV suit, "Oh, so Freeman has been this way", he grinned as he entered the office complex.
He saw the light flashing at the end of the corridor. He approached the door, opening it slowly. To his horror, he saw the body of a scientist hanging from the mouth of the ceiling. "Holy shit", Miric backed off taking a few shots at the creature. Returning the to the corridor, he jumped into the ventilation shaft, grabbing a hold of the ladder.
"Miric?", a voice called from above, "Miric Fell? Oh thanks god you're here! I can't get down, and the military is trying to gain access to the room"
Looking up, Miric saw someone he could only identify as fellow scientist, Eric Dobbe. "Jump, Dobbe. I'll catch you!", he shouted.
Taking a leap, Dobbe accidentally hit the wall. In a last second saving, Miric grabbed a hold of Dobbe's arm.
"Thanks so much, Miric", Dobbe thanked as he got onto the ledge above the room he had been in. "Where are you heading?" he asked.
Loading his pistol, Miric looked up, "Topside, of course. Before coming here, i worked as a field medic for the HECU, so i know their procedures"
Dobbe shook his head, "You must be crazy. I have the access codes to the topside doors, however, i recommend going down to the old Lambda Complex. I heard a few scientists sought down there because of the teleportation technology".
"I'll head topside, you'll go down to the Lambda Complex. If i know them right, they'll bomb the surface soon, so it'll be safer down here"
Nodding, Dobbe handed Miric an access card, "Good luck, Miric"
Miric went over to a huge blast door, inserting the card into the keypad. "Access Granted. Welcome, Eric Dobbe", the voice greeted Miric.
