*Alright, I'm back with another chap. As the name suggests, the crew is gonna leave Spain this chapter. I have some destinations planned after this. Hope you guys enjoy! :D*

Luke (raised voice): "Jose, horde status."

Jose: "They're surrounding us from the Northeast and Southwest."

Will: "Is there any routes we can take?"

It seemed like the infected were coming faster than before. A few of them broke down the doors and started swarming the bar. The survivors quickly reacted. Luke walked up and started meleeing the infected, Aiko and Will were shooting them and Dan was guarding Jose while he was trying to find an escape route.

Jose (raised voice): "There is a route we can take to the West which leads directly into a train yard, however, it's been inactive for quite some time."

Luke (slicing the infected): "There might be a train over there that is active, this town is deserted and the infection only recently started, there's no way nobody got out. (yelling) Alright, let's move people, push through!"

Daniel joined Luke and started killing the infected and Jose started shooting them as well. The front line of the survivors slowly pushed them out of the bar and the group received minimal damage. A Smoker sound was heard.

Dan: "Smoker around, watch your backs."

The survivors started exiting the bar and Aiko was checking the rooftops for the Smoker. She saw him near an open window and quickly disposed of him before any real damage could be done.

Aiko: "Nailed it."

Will: "Alright, good work. We gotta keep moving, come on."

The infected numbers started to drop and the survivors had a clear entry to the train yard. It looked dark, gloomy and pretty much empty. There was, what looked like, an active train which the survivors could board and head to the evacuation centre.

Luke (lower voice): "We better keep quiet, this looks like a trap. Jose, Dan and Aiko, you guys head towards the control panel room and check whether or not that train works. Quietly. (the three survivors started heading to the control panel) Will. (Will came closer) Is there a chance that you could get this thing out of Spain for us?

Will: "My military training prepared me for everything, I had to learn to control basically any vehicle I could get my grasp on, so don't worry, I can control that thing."

Luke: "Good. (Luke started heading towards the train) Now, follow me."

The train had a total of four wagons attached to the head of the train, and it seemed like the fourth wagon was shaking slightly. Luke came closer to the entrance and tried to put his ear on the door to hear something. He heard rather unusual breathing and slight growling. He suddenly moved back and it seemed like whatever was in there moved up to the door and started growling even more. Something was definitely not right.

Will: "What's the problem?"

Luke: "We need to group so I can explain this to everyone."

Luke and Will entered the control room and found the three survivors checking the controls.

Jose: "Oh, there you guys are. This train should be good to go."

Aiko: "Also, conveniently, we found 5 walkie-talkies so we're able to communicate. We don't have to rely on our phones anymore."

Will (grabbing his walkie-talkie): "These will come in handy, nice find, you guys.

Luke: "Good work, you three. We do have a problem, though. Will, close the door. (Will closed the door) The fourth wagon has a Sacrifice Tank inside of it. (everyone's expressions got dark) Hear me out. These things are able to call upon hordes by yelling louder than any normal Tank, they're faster, bulkier, can take more hits and deal more damage than a regular Tank. Our best bet is to quietly detach the wagon and get the hell out of there instantly. The train leaving will alert the Tank and he will call upon a horde to chase us down the tracks, and I don't doubt that he's able to break the wagon door and release himself from his prison. I'll be the one to detach the wagon and we ain't gonna debate about it. Everyone, grab your things and get on the train. I'd suggest you get on the first two wagons so we can avoid any conflict. Let's go. I'll be the last to exit this room."

The other survivors exited the control room and started quietly boarding the train. Will stepped into the control room of the train and reached for his walkie-talkie.

Luke (over his walkie-talkie): "Will, do you copy? Over."

Will: "Affirmative. Over."

Luke: "On my command, start the engine and we're off. Over."

Will: "Copy that. Over."

Luke snuck up to the wagon and detached the hook. The wagon was detached and Luke heard some loud growls and some semi-loud noises. He quickly boarded the first wagon and sat down next to Aiko.

Luke: "Full speed ahead, Will."

Will suddenly booted the engine up and the train started to move away from the Tank. After a solid few seconds, the Tank yelled out a ferocious scream and a horde could be heard coming. The second wagon had two large openings that the survivors could use as openings to shoot the infected, and that's what they did. Everyone was using their ranged weapons to shoot the infected and they quickly killed all of the infected on the tracks. A few seconds of relief were quickly stopped because the Tank slammed the door down and started running along the tracks.

Dan: "Oh, not again."

Luke: "God damn it. Will, can you go faster?"

Will: "This is the fastest we can go, I'm sorry."

The Tank seemed like it was going a little faster, so it was gonna catch up sooner or later.

Luke (after a few moments): "Gun him down in the tracks, like the degenerate that he turned into."

The survivors unloaded their clips into the Tank and he didn't slow down one single bit. It seemed like they were going to run out of ammo before the Tank was gonna fall down and die.

Dan: "We can't keep this up forever, any ideas?"

Luke (thinking): "I'm open for suggestions."

After a solid 20 seconds of either silence or useless ideas, Aiko spoke up.

Aiko: "That thing can burst through a train door, right? (everyone turned their attention towards her) I was thinking we could just release the third wagon and let it be slammed into the dirt."

Luke: "Alright, Dan, come with me, let's check the third wagon."

Dan and Luke opened the third wagon and saw a bunch of, what looked like, explosives.

Dan: "They have radioactive symbols on them."

Luke (walking up to a barrel and examining the radioactive symbol): "It says it's just made for bigger explosions, so, the worst thing this is going to do is make a bunch of craters. Let's detach this and inform the others."

Daniel left the door open and Luke detached the wagon while both of them were on the second wagon. Luke took the Molotov cocktail that Will gave him a while ago and he chucked it into the wagon.

Luke (yelling): "Everyone, get down, the third wagon is gonna explode! Will, step on it!"

Will started making the train go as fast as it could go, everyone ducked behind some seats and the Tank, along with some Common infected, stopped in front of the wagon and he hit it into a nearby wall. The hit into the wall triggered an explosion and the Tank got burned, as well as crushed by some fallen rocks from the explosion. He was as good as dead and the survivors took a breath of fresh air.

Luke (looking at Dan): "That's how real men dispose of a Sacrifice Tank, ladies and gents."

Dan fist-bumped Luke and the survivors started relaxing in the train wagon. Luke eventually entered the control cabin.

Luke: "So, any idea which is our next destination?"

Will: "We can take the tracks up to a blocked railroad near Dortmund, Germany. From there we can see what we can do with our journey."

Luke: "Alright, keep me posted on anything that happens."

Will (as Luke was about to leave): "This journey has been one hell of a ride, and I don't regret putting you as the leader at all. I sincerely hope you find your father after all of this, man."

Luke (stopping for a second): "I appreciate that. Really, I do. Have a good one."

The first wagon had plenty of seats available and Jose and Dan were playing poker in the back. Aiko was watching from a nearby seat and Luke sat down next to her.

Aiko: "Rough night, huh?"

Luke: "There hasn't been a single 'good night' that happened in the past couple of weeks...except that one where you confessed to me. (Aiko started blushing) Since, you know, there was a small amount of infected there."

Aiko: "Oh, shut up, you bastard."

Luke: "I'm just messing."

Aiko put her head down in Luke's lap and quickly fell asleep. It didn't take long before Luke fell asleep, too.

Meanwhile, the two other gentlemen on the train had a very intense poker match going.

Dan (examining the cards): "Make the call, Jose."

After a few intensive stares from Dan, Jose called. After the turn and the river, Daniel confidently raised the stakes by double.

Dan: "I got this."

Jose called after a few moments. Dan put his cards down to reveal a straight. Jose slowly put them down to reveal...a three of a kind. Dan smirked boldly.

Jose: "That was just the luck of the draw."

Dan (chuckling): "Lady, luck is smiling. (grabbing the stakes and the cards) Up for more?"

Jose: "Nah, Imma hit the hay, t'was a good game. Good night, Dan."

Dan: "Night."

Jose went to sleep and soon enough, everyone besides Will was in the land of dreams. The journey to Germany was gonna be long and repetitive, but they were willing to do everything to make it to that evacuation centre.

*End of Chapter 7.
