Chapter 7: A Rock and a Hard Place

They approached the next room, as they did so Jason felt the T-Virus signatures on the other side.

"Head's up guys, infected, other side of the door."

They all readied their weapons, David took point and once the others signalled they were ready, he kicked the door open. They found themselves face to face with a pack of zombies whom they swiftly shot down. They hurried through to the next room; this one was full of Hunters.

"Keep shooting, gotta take em down!" Jason called out, "If they leap at you, shoot them in the chest, that'll stop them."

They did so, but the vast number of Hunters made it difficult. Worse still, they were running low on ammo.

"Just clear a path, don't kill them all!" Tim yelled, at that moment however Jacob looked behind them and cried out.

"Crimson Heads!"

Jason looked back; sure enough the zombies they had felled had revived as Crimson Heads. Things had just got a lot harder.

"Okay, enough fooling around." He stated, "Everyone, just blast a path through the Hunters and run."

They did so, firing as they ran, pushing the Hunter's back. Finally they reached the door, got through and closed it behind them. Jason and Lisa quickly barricaded it and they heard the Hunters and Crimson Heads trying to break through.

Lisa sighed. "That won't hold them for long, let's hurry to the stairwell."

The group agreed and David led them onwards.

Finally they reached the stairwell and entered it, however they heard the sound as they entered and sure enough were ambushed by adders. They quickly opened fire until finally they were able to kill them all. They reloaded their guns, praying they would find some means of replenishing ammo, soon. Jacob wiped his forehead and sighed.

"Thank god Lydia isn't here, she'd be freaking out." He stated, Sappira and Lisa nodded in agreement.

David and Rosemarie looked confused so Tim explained. "Lydia is a friend of ours, she's also fighting Umbrella, she...she has a phobia of snakes."

They nodded, finally understanding, Jason then cut into the conversation.

"Less talk guys, we've gotta keep moving, there could be more of them."

They quickly began to hurry downstairs; they managed to get down several floors before they stopped. An Umbrella security forces unit was waiting for them and began to open fire. They took cover, using the stairwell itself and an alcove for cover. They began to return fire, desperately. They continued to fire until suddenly Jason heard something, a low whirring sound. He realized what it was and shouted a warning.

"Guys, get in the alcove now!"

They all did so, just in time as a torrent of bullets ripped through the stairwell, killing the Umbrella forces. Finally the bullets stopped and the group turned to face the threat. His minigun now empty Nemesis dropped it and stepped forwards, intent on crushing them with his bare hands.

They quickly opened fire on it but it simply shrugged the bullets off. Knowing they were sitting ducks they began to descend the stairwell, still firing. Jason was the first to empty his guns, but before he could do anything else he suddenly doubled over in intense pain.

"What the...What the hell?!" He gasped; Lisa caught him and began to pull him along, she was also out of ammo.

"Jason?"

He shook his head. "I don't, what's happened to me..."

Lisa was just as confused as he was. Several floors down everyone but Tim and Sappira was out of ammo. So far they had avoided Nemesis attacking them as he tried to catch up. However Jason still hadn't recovered. Tim and Sappira fired their last bullets and then Tim got an idea.

"Everyone stand back!" He called.

They did so and he then used his sword, on a damaged support column. They hurried onwards as parts of the stairwell above them collapsed. Finally they stopped. They could hear Nemesis roaring and breathing, but it was clear he was buried under the rubble.

"It'll take him some time to get outta that." Tim stated.

They then turned to Jason; Lisa had sat him against the wall. He was breathing heavily but it looked like the pain had passed.

They were about to question him but he shook his head. "Don't ask, I don't have a clue."

Finally he stood up, waved away Lisa's hand and reassured them he was fine.

"Hey guys, check it out." Cashmere stated.

They turned and saw, on the floor below them, a group of dead Umbrella agents and with them, an ammo cache.

"Luck is with us today." Tim remarked as they hurried over.

They got to work and were able to restock their ammo supply. Finally prepared they got ready to continue their descent.
