This saga is almost over, so I would like to say thank you to my fans to being so encouraging to me during this time. Now please read on!
Dempsey had driven nearly ten hours before Richtofen took his place. Takeo and Nikolai were long out and only the two were up.
"So American" said Richtofen dodging a large broken down semi. "How does it feel to know your country has itz own little secrets?"
Dempsey growled. It pissed him off that Area 51 did exist and no one else knew. Worst of all, it was a heavily guarded secret, with exposure meaning treason.
"Least my country don't experiment with zombies" snarled the Marine.
"Sticks and stones" Richtofen muttered waving it away. "Ze only reason no one found Der Riese vas because no one bothered to look. Ve could've made a damn neon sign for it and no one vould've cared."
Dempsey let his anger out on the window next to him. It shattered into infinite pieces and Dempsey warned, "Shut up and drive Kraut. Before I do to your face what I just did to this window."
Richtofen shrugged and kept driving.
Five hours later…
Richtofen stopped the car and announced, "Ve are here."
Dempsey sat up and looked around. It appeared the Jeep was in front of a gate, and they were still in the desert.
"Why ain't we inside Kraut?" he asked rubbing his eyes.
"No gas" the German replied saddened. "Ve go on foot."
Dempsey nudged Nikolai and ordered, "Wake up."
Nikolai groaned and sat up. "Are we there yet?"
"Sorta" Dempsey responding jumping out. "We gotta go on foot."
"Balls" Nikolai muttered getting out. "I hate walking."
Takeo readied his Porter's X2 and said, "Let's go."
The group prepped all their guns, then began walking to the gate.
"Back up" Dempsey warned raising the China Beach. He fired and nailed the gate dead on. It blew inward and Dempsey smiled.
"Knock knock! Room service!" he yelled reloading the grenade launcher.
Richtofen raised the SPAZ-24 and demanded, "Get moving. I am sure ve are not ze only ones here."
Ten minutes later…
Dempsey turned and fired dead into the crowd. They had barely gotten to a courtyard when they were attacked. It seemed like the whole state of Nevada had become undead to welcome them.
"Get into the building!" Dempsey shouted to the others.
Takeo slammed in another arrow into the Awful Lawton and ran over to a door. It lead into a large official looking building and Takeo slammed into it. The door resisted and he hit it again.
Nikolai joined him and smashed his lofty frame into the steel. It flew open and Nikolai went inside. It appeared to be a long dark hallway.
"Get your ass in here!" he yelled firing the Typhoid and Mary. Richtofen got inside and prepped a second Gersch device. "Just a sec" he muttered flipping a switch. He tossed it out the door and demanded, "Get in here American!"
Dempsey dropped his empty China Beach and sprinted through the door. Nikolai closed it and used his empty Typhoid and Mary to jam it into place.
"We gotta move' he said raising the Krauss Refibrillator.
Richtofen ran down the hall, using his flashlight to see through the darkness. The hallway was red with blood and bodies lay slumped on the floor.
"They never stood a chance" muttered Dempsey holding his Lamentation.
'Try not to think about it American" Takeo advised holding his Porter's X2. "It only makes you go crazy faster."
"Amen" agreed Richtofen.
The hallway was suddenly illuminated in a sick green glow and Richtofen put out his light. A lone zombie was walking towards them, and he was glowing. He looked no different from regular zombies, except for sacks of what looked like glow stick fluid on his arms.
"Radioactive zombie? Now that's a fresh idea" chuckled Dempsey.
Without warning, the zombie exploded in a wave of light. It was like a flash bang grenade.
"Shit!" declared pretty much everyone.
The light subsided and Dempsey said, "Jesus this sucks."
Replaced in lone zombie were dozens of its normal comrades. They roared and ran towards them.
Richtofen shouted and fired his SPAZ-24 non-stop. They quickly swarmed him and went to the others.
"Chase this!" Takeo yelled firing the Awful Lawton over their heads.
Nikolai raised the Krauss Refibrillator and shot Richtofen. The syringe got him back up and he said, "I am fine, but zhat stab vas very…erotic."
"Weird ass Kraut" muttered Dempsey.
They all fired into the crowd and reduced it to mere pulp. They ran down the hall and came to a large gymnasium. Very little equipment was still there, and all the doors were barred.
'We're trapped" stated Dempsey.
Richtofen looked up and smiled. "No, ve are saved."
Five minutes later
Dempsey ran up the bleachers, and waited at the top. He was the most physically fit, so he was the only one who could do this.
"Doc, are you sure this will work?" he shouted down to Richtofen.
Richtofen laughed. "I have no idea!"
Dempsey rubbed his hands and muttered, "Come on big guy. Just a little jump."
He readied the grappling hook and swung it in a circle. Had to build some momentum.
He threw it and the hook grabbed the metal support. He tugged it to make sure it was secure, and then he exhaled.
"God save my broken body."
Dempsey roared and leapt off the bleachers. He extended his arms and grabbed the metal support. He quickly began climbing upwards to the hole in the ceiling.
He poked his head up and looked around. His head was inside another room, this one was just a bunch of offices. Thankfully clear of zombies.
He got himself inside and walked over to a large concrete pillar. He wrapped the rope twice around the thing, clamping it with the grappling hook.
Dempsey got back over to the hole and announced, "Come on up!"
Nikolai groaned and grabbed the rope. "I hate climbing."
Five more minutes later
After they had all gotten up, Richtofen said, "Now ve need to find another vay out. Dis iz very frustrating."
"You said it Kraut" agreed Dempsey. He pointed at a door and stated, "That's the only one that opens."
Takeo opened the door and looked inside. It was a large security room, with computers adorning the walls.
They stepped inside and Nikolai said, "So many buttons! Which one should I push first!"
"Cut it out Cossack" Takeo replied. "Touch nothing."
Nikolai pouted and raised the international fuck-you finger.
Richtofen examined the monitor and saw they were all camera feeds from around the base, All of them showed zombies, in courtyards, rooms, everywhere.
"Jesus" commented Dempsey.
Without warning, all the zombies began running, in one direction.
"Zhey have found us" muttered Richtofen.
OMG!
