Authors notes: about 3 to 4 more chapters of dead aid to do and then it's off to blood harvest so please enjoy number 33.

Bill allowed the group to rest for around another 2 hours before he decided it was time for them to move on and get out of this horrid flaming city, he woke Zoey up who yawned before grabbing her stuff and slipping her rather dirty and worn out converse back on. "Alright people we are almost out of here we just gotta fight our way through the airport and out to the runway" he said holding his scar in a tight professional grip. "Alright then let's do it" Francis said pushing the safe room door open and stepping out into the airport lobby upper area, "stay close, we don't know what we are walking into" Bill said as they all switched on the flashlights as the airports power had long since gone out. Zoey taking the rear as she now had her rifle out using the scope to overlook the massive lobby area below. She began firing at the random platter of commons scattered about ensuring they wouldn't have to deal with them when they got down there.

They advanced forward, through a set of wooden double doors into a long corridor, "let's go through the offices" Francis said taking point as a street sweeper with his beloved auto shotgun which he used to dispatch of any pesky infected in his path. The corridor was long and narrow with doors leading into various rooms on either side of them, Bill feeling unnerved as they slowly walked down trying to keep noise to a minimum as Francis only fired when it was absolutely necessary. The corridor then turned left again it was long and narrow and their was various infected on the path ahead, Francis quickly blasting them all to hell as he pushed aggressively through the infected savages. Finally he led the way through another set of double doors and he could see they were on the opposite side of the upper lobby area that they were on previously, he could see the safe room from where he was standing. "Let's get down there and find a way to the runway" Bill said as he pushed the group down a set of escalators into the main lobby area below grimacing ya the sight before him as Zoey and Louis audibly gasped in shock and terror.

The lobby area was filled to the brim with bodies, some with bullet holes and other ripped to pieces and lying in their own blood, "holy Jesus" Francis said as Zoey was forced to turn away and gag as she felt bile rising in her throat. "Poor sons of bitches must've been trapped in when the infected attacked" bill said Boeing his head in sorrow, a massacre happened here and Bill was certain that no one not even the bodies with military fatigues and rifle stood a chance. "Let's take a look around for any supplies and then head out, this is getting depressing" Bill said the last part quietly as the group began to search the lobby area, Louis and bill checking the various desks and other places while Zoey checked the women's bathroom and Francis the men's. Zoey unnerved by the darkness as she scanned her flashlight around for any signs of danger but thankfully the cubicles seemed empty. She was unaware of the figure hanging form the ceiling eyeballing her down hungrily as her light scanned everywhere but above her.

As she turned to leave satisfied she hadn't found anything useful the creature lunged from its spot, on top of her, knocking her rifle away and forcing her to throw her hands up in defence. The creature swiped for her, catching her arm and causing her to yell in pain and shock, but with her quick thinking she a managed to hold the hunter back with one arm while using her free arm to unsheathe her katana which she quickly lunged up into the hunters skull, killing it instantly with deadly silence. She got up clutching her arm in pain and retrieving her weapon as Francis rushed in alerted by her Yelp with his shotgun at the ready, "Zoey you ok?" He asked concern seeing a scar that and oozing blood on her arm a rip in her jacket. "I'll make it, it's gonna take more than that to kill me" she said she sheathed her katana and walked out with her rifle ignoring the pain in her arm as she walked back to Louis and bill, bill noticing her cut arm.

"Let's get that patched up" he said pulling out a first aid kit and disinfecting and bandaging her arm, Francis joining them with a bile bomb in his hand as Bill and Louis finished tending to Zoey. "Alright we've found nothing of use so let's not waste anymore time and get moving" Bill said as Zoey and Francis noticed the way ahead was blocked by a chain link fence they were incapable of climbing over. "How do we get through this fence of shit" Francis said annoyed at their path once again being blocked off, "we can use that van to break through" Louis said pointing to the vehicle in question. "I hate vans" Francis said causing Louis to sigh as Bill visibly scowled and Zoey gave a small chuckle at the bikers silliness. "Wait here while I go start the van, we may have to fight our way through" he said as he marched up to the van and released the break and started the ignition. The van moved forward smashing through the gate and causing a horrible, metal screeching g sound to occur as it carried apron and crashed into a pile of laughable where it stopped dead.

As expected the infected in the area began to charge towards them annoyed by the sound of the van, "let's move people don't let them swarm us" Bill shouted as they began to fire. The group pushing through the now destroyed fence as they charged down the corridor into a luggage check in area that was seemed off by another fence. "Damnit we need a plan quickly or we are gonna get swarmed!" Francis shouted blasting back attacking infected as he shot and popped a boomer knocking back all the infected around the bloated figure. "Look over there we can go through the luggage vents" Zoey said suddenly looking to her right to see gaps were open allowing them to pas through, "make like a bee and buzz!" Louis shouted tossing his remaining bile bomb back the way they had come from which exploded and drew in all the infected as Francis tossed a Molotov. The group took the opportunity to scramble into the vents tossing luggage in front of the gap to sell it off as well as setting up a left over bucket on top of the doorway so that when it fell it will alert them to incoming infected.

...

Zoey lead the way along the conveyor belts that carried peoples luggage long since abandoned with the outbreak of the green flu, "not much further, I think there's a way to the terminal out through here" she said as the group slowly walked forward. The group recouping after their events back in the lobby area, "how you holding up kid?" Bill asked the girl in question who turned to look at him with a weak smile, "I'm gonna make it out of this mess if it kills me" she said as he simply nodded Louis agreeing with her positivity. As they jumped off the conveyor into a stairwell that lead out into a checkpoint area, Louis decided to ref his chainsaw and leave his AK47 on a strap across his shoulder, "I'll take the lead til we get to the runway" he said reving the chainsaw for comedic effect as Francis and Zoey laughed Bill simply nodding. "Alright then let's get our asses to that runway people, we've got a flight to catch" Bill said as the group entered the dark checkpoint not knowing what to expect...
