JENNY'S POV:
Everyone ducked for cover as the bullets flew over our heads, nearly taking our heads off. It didn't take long for the Revivalists, realizing we were in cover, to break the gate down. I looked over at everyone, and saw Sal, Kaitlyn, and Terrance behind some crates, Chloe was hiding near a truck, Sean, Homer, and Sasha were in a tent, Benji and Noah were still hostage, Aiko, Leon, Nicole, and Elroy went behind some barrels, and Tyler, Heath, Beth, Megan, and Cindy were inside the radio station. The bullets then stopped, and an uncomfortable silence hung over us.
"Detonate it."
Suddenly, a loud explosion burst through the air as the truck Chloe was hiding near exploded, engulfing Chloe instantly. However, I was focused on something else. The explosion was super, super loud, and even worse, the explosion knocked down a large amount of the chain-link fence. It didn't help when the sounds of the beasties began, and judging from the noise, there was a lot of them.
"Ah, here comes the welcoming committee." Seth said with a grin. That was when Noah and Benji got to their feet and made a mad dash towards the infirmary. Somehow, none of the Revivalists noticed, and they instead they began shooting at the covers we were behind.
I felt a tap on my shoulder, and Clyde appeared behind me with Craig. "I overheard the military while you guys were dealing with them, they'll be coming in five minutes." I wanted to smile, but I couldn't due to the Revivalists slowly drawing closer. I looked around for something to use, and that's when I saw the metal box that Terrance and I had found, and I got an idea. "Clyde, can you provide a distraction?" I asked, and Clyde looked at me in horror. "Are you mad, they'll kill me!"
"Clyde, I need you to distract them for a bit, and when I say your name, get inside the radio station with Craig." Clyde, albeit reluctantly, nodded and stepped out of the cover and raised his hands. "Wait, don't shoot!" Clyde yelled, and Seth told his group to lower their guns. "You wish to join I believe?"
I took this opportunity to quickly make my way to the metal box, grab something out of it, and climb up the radio tower. It was a bit of a struggle, due to the object, but I made it to the top as Clyde was on his knees, praying I think. "Clyde!" I yelled, and when Clyde looked up, he shouted "Oh shit!" and ran towards the radio station. The Revivalists looked at me, and began to scramble just as I fired the RPG at the Revivalists, four of them being engulfed in the explosion.
I looked in the distance, and saw a sea of beasties heading towards the base. I realized that a few of the beasties looked similar, even from afar. It was the herd Benji had talked about, and now the herd seemed to stretch for miles, and judging from the size, it was the size of the Revivalist's mall.
"Kill them all!" I heard Seth yell, and that took me so much by surprise that I dropped the RPG and scurried down the tower. I saw bullets clang off the ladder and nearly hit me, but eventually, I was able to get out of the way. Clyde and Craig ran over to me, huffing and puffing. "That was op as shit!" Craig yelled, and I just grinned. "All's fair in love and war, except there's no love here."
I peeked my head around the corner, and saw Fred heading into the infirmary. "Wait here." I proceeded to run over to the infirmary, dodging bullets all the way as I noticed others were firing back at the Revivalists. I ran inside and saw Fred choking Noah and Benji holding his head, obviously stunned. I ran at Fred and tackled him away from Noah, who collapsed clutching his neck. I underestimated Fred's power however, and he quickly on top of me and began nailing me with fist after fist.
As soon as I felt a bit out of it, Fred grabbed a bone saw and tried to press it down onto my neck. I reached my hands up and grabbed the saw end, and winced as the spikes pressed into my palms, drawing blood. I was however, able to raise it away from my neck, but that caused him to press down harder, and he also began moving the saw side to side, sawing through my hand a bit.
"Fucking die you bitch!"
A hand suddenly shot from the side of the bed and jammed a scalpel into Fred's throat, causing him to gurgle on his blood. I kicked him off me and stomped on the scalpel, causing it to go deeper. Fred eventually stopped and laid still, and I looked up to see Benji hugging an awake Hiroto with blood on his fingers.
"Oh thank god!" Benji yelled into Hiroto's shoulder as Hiroto hugged Benji back. "What happened?" Hiroto asked, then looked at his stump. "Oh." Benji sighed. "I guess Leon was right, it does stop the infection." Hiroto's expression didn't change, but as soon as he heard gunshots, his face turned to fear. "What's going on?!" Hiroto asked. "It's those Revivalist guys, they're attacking us, they already killed some of us, but luckily the military are coming in about five minutes!" I yelled as I hauled Noah to his feet.
"We need to get Aiko, and get ready!" Benji yelled out, then he paused, and I heard growls and snarls, coming from beasties. He proceeded to look out a different side of the tent, and when he turned around, his face showed nothing but horror. "I hope the military hurries, because that herd just got bigger!"
Benji motioned for us to follow while I held Hiroto up and Noah was behind me. Benji threw the tent flap over, and suddenly, a small, motorized chainsaw swung down on Benji's arm. He screamed in pain as a female Revivalist grinned at us. A bullet suddenly ripped through her head, and Aiko ran over in horror. "Benji, are you okay?!" Aiko yelled.
I looked over at Benji, and he proceeded to vomit on his severed hand.
Hey guys, an author's note finally! You may have noticed that I'm uploading more than one chapter each day, and the reason for that is because on Monday, I got sick before I finished the next chapter, and Summer Vacation is about to begin, so I'm using the last of my school days pumping out chapter after chapter like a constantly in labor woman who every time she gives birth, another fetus grows in sixteen seconds. It's a weird analogy I know, but hey, at least I'm close to finishing The Hell that Walks as a whole.
