Chapter 35 The runway part 1
Authors notes: 2 chapters left so let's get to it enjoy :)
Bill wasted no time leading his group out to the runway as they jumped down onto it and began to make their way across hearing banging on the safe room door behind them which they all prayed would hold for a little while at least. They jumped down passing by all the abandoned luggage as the red sky of the burning city reached peak hours, the sun would soon be setting and Bill knew they wouldn't last another night in this city. "The plane we saw is at the other side of the runway, we need to see if there's a pilot and get our asses out of this city now" Bill said as Francis lead the way down the runway as fast as he could blasting away any stumbling infected in his path. Francis then spotted what they were looking for, the AC130 a deep green colour was parked at the far end of the airport runway, next to a funeral tanker. Their was a pipe connecting form the truck to the plane however it was not running, "let's take a look at what we've got" Francis said as he approached the plane.
Suddenly a voice came from a radio next to the fuel tanker connected to a unilateral corpse lying in a pool of blood, "hey, you there can you folks here me this is the pilot of the plane your next to?" The voice asked as Bill picked up the radio. "We here you loud and clear son what's the situation?" Bill asked as the pilot spoke once more, "I was sent here to evacuate any survivors left in the city, looks like you folks are it, so gas me up and we can fly out of here, the pumps gonna make a real racket so you folks make sure your ready for a fight before you start her up" he said as Bill looked around the runway not really seeing any good places to defend other than a mini gun placement right next to the fuel tanker where they could watch all sides for smokers and other infected. They set up with Louis manning the mini gun and bill and Francis watching the sides and Zoey using a ladder to climb on top of the tanker and provide support with her sniper rifle. Bill watching the side closest to their ticket out of the city, as Francis watched the side closes to the terminal where the majority of the infected would be coming from.
Bill then went and pulled the switch on the pump and a loud noise occurred as the fuel began to enter the plane, "that did it I can hear the truck pumping hold em off for me while I fuel up" the pilot spoke as Louis suddenly gasped pointing to the sky. Approaching the runway at the far right at rapid speed was another plane, the group soon realised it was coming in too fast to be landing normally, "holy shit everyone done!" Bill shouted as the plane came closer and closer not slowing down. Zoey could only watch in terror as the plane struck the ground a horrid sound of metal breaking apart on impact as sparks ignited as the plane dragged along the runway falling apart as a trail of flames was left behind it as it crashed right near where the safe room was. Bill climbed to his feet as he saw the destruction of the crashed plane, "Jesus..." he managed as his three colleagues stared in utter shock never seeing a plane crash like that before. Their shock turned into horror as ominous screams and shouts began to sound and echo all around them, "oh shit there coming!" Louis shouted terrified as Francis grunted cocking his shotgun as Zoey returned to her perch.
"Ah this is gonna be bad" bills said quietly as dark shadows began to appear all over the darkness of the runway as the sun went lower and lower in the sky, bill cocked his rifle, clicking his neck as he mentally and physically prepared for the onslaught that was coming their way. Glass smashed as infected broke through the windows of the terminal dropping down to the runway as they mindlessly charged towards the human survivors intent on sniffing their lights out. Zoey shook with fear as she readied her scope trying her best to steady herself as she took aim, the infected were coming and there was a lot of them... it was going to be one hell of a fight...
