Chapter 39 The Train Depot
Authors notes: here we go with number 39
Bill allowed the team to rest for a few minutes before he decided it was time to carry on, "alright people let's go find the train tracks and get to this outpost" he said, as he pushed open the safe room door and stepped out into the corridor. "Grunting as he could here infected nearby, "looks like there's infected in here with us, stay sharp" he said motioning with his hand for the team to move down the corridor where there was a flight of stairs going down to the floor below. They progressed through a room full of infected killing them and stepping out into the main hatred area of the train depot, they began to walk across the catwalks above, many commons on the ground below which they didn't wish to disturb. Unfortunately a boomer had other ideas as it burped before wrenching all over Louis, "Ah fuck me man that's some bullshit" he cursed, as Zoey pooped the boomer unfortunately the horde below had caught a whiff and began climbing up after Louis. The group firing down knocking the infected off their intended destination as the below off hands and arms trying to reach them, once the horde was dealt with the group moved on climbing down from the catwalk towards a door at the far end of the room.
They restocked on the ammo pile that had been left behind before Louis entered the room finding a pills cabinet where he took two sets of pain pills, "grabbing pills" he said causing a nervous chuckle from Zoey. The way ahead however presented them with another problem, "god damnit, to get through this door will set off an alarm, and we all know what loud noises mean" boil said as Francis grunted looking around spotting a gas can and a Molotov. "If we open the door and run back to the catwalk, we can hold them off from up there until they die down or the alarm stops" Zoey said as Bill thought on it for a moment. "It's the best option we have trying to push through the horde with the alarm going off would be suicide, alright then let's do it" he said as Zoey nodded standing by the door looking back at the others. "Ready guys?" She asked, after receiving 2 yes ma'am's and a grunt from Francis she pushed the door open and as expected a horrid shrill alarm began to go off much to their annoyance.
They quickly ran back to the catwalk using a slope to climb back up as banging began on several doors around the place as windows were smashed an angry screams and shouts echoed all over the room they were in. Soon enough their weapons sprung into action as Francis had his trigger on the gas can by the doorway below in case they began to charge through, the dark shadows appearing all over as the infected closed in on them rapidly. The alarm continuing to go off as gunfire and angry screaming joined it in a chorus of death, pain and misery for all, Francis shot the can as infected began to stream through the doorway engulfing them all in flames as they screamed in agony being burnt to a crisp. The group holding off the infected as the alarm after what seemed like an eternity of shrill beeping turned off, much to the groups satisfaction, the horde began to dissipate no longer being attracted by the shrill beeping. Finally the supposed last infected dropped down to the ground with a pathetic whine as a sniper round punctured its body blowing a large hole through it, "alright no that our little set back is over let's continue to move on.
Bill lead the way through the alarm door which led into a two story room, with silos littered around it, "careful people" he said quietly as Louis and Zoey went upstairs while Francis and himself remained in the ground floor slowly working their way through. There didn't appear to be any commons as they pushed on through, Zoey cautiously looking out the windows overlooking the tracks as they walked along the catwalk above the other 2 men from their group. Louis entered a small side room, looking around for anything that might be useful, to his shock he found something of great value, "Zoey, look at this shit" he said excitedly as the young girl came in the room seeing his discovery. He had found a box of laser sight attachments for weapons, sticking one on his AK47 while Zoey stuck one on her sniper rifle, she then took 2 more and called down to Francis and Bill. "Hey old man, biker dude, take these" she said dropping them down as Bill caught them both with one hand, he attached it to his scar whole Francis attached his to his shotgun nodding his satisfaction. "Good find kid" Bill said as Louis came and joined her back in the outside upper area, "the end of the room is down here let's go" Francis said as he and bill went outside standing ya the mouth of a train tunnel.
Louis and Zoey smashed through an upper story window before jumping down carefully to the old man and the biker, "the way to the outpost is down this tunnel" Bill said much to everyone's discomfort. "That's some country ass bullshit" Louis remarked not liking the prospect of another dark tunnel, "come on let's go" bill said not wanting to waste anymore time. The group began to enter the tunnel looking warily around them as derailed trains littered the way ahead, unaware of something watching them from above on a high up rooftop...
