Chapter 43 The Tracks
Authors notes: I have decided that I will not be including the events of Millhaven base in this story, the reason being, I would have to go through the entire sacrifice comic page by page and that it may also make for a brand now story based on the lives of the NPC survivors I'm thinking of doing. However the first chapter of the sacrifice segment will bring you up to speed on all the events that happened during the Millhaven escape. For now please enjoy the remaining chapters of blood harvest.
Francis had lead the way to a train station just beyond the barn where infected were scattered around the place, he grunted as he began to take them all out, the sign read Richardson Atlantic on top the train station building. "We need to follow the tracks left, it leads straight to the farmhouse" bill said blasting several commons with a few precise bursts, "well cut through the station and back out" Francis said. Seeing the way left had been blocked by a derailed train crashing into the hill to their left, the group entered the train station clearing out all infected as Francis spotted a door leading back outside beyond the crashed train. Infected were everywhere now the group being forced to slowly take them all out as they slowly pushed forward, "damn bullshit" Bill grunted butting a attacking infected with his rifle before blasting it to kingdom come. The group passing by several a do owned trains as they pushed on, "hey why don't we just take a train down the tracks, it would save a lot of time?" He said, "because Francis most of the track ahead is blocked we'd never get through and do you know how much noise these things make" bill said countering the bikers logic who simply grunted in response.
The group continued on the tracks of course as Bill said being completely blocked up ahead as they passed a hut which thankfully had an ammo cache inside which they great fully took from. They headed back outside the commons till coming for them as they continued progressing down the tracks, coming to another point where the tracks were blocked by trains. "Through this house" bill said pushing down a pathway leading to the door of the house, he pushed it open and walked in side recoiling at the large amount of blood on the walls. He looked ahead following the trail of blood before recoiling in shock, "holy shit..." he said as he saw an over turned lawn mover with bits of flesh hanging out of it, as well as blood and body parts all over the floor the rest of his team recoiling in shock and horror as well. "Damn... that's rough" Francis said quietly as Zoey covered her mouth in horror Louis sharing her thoughts on the matter, "let's... get the hell out of here" Bill said stepping on the parts of the floor not soaked in blood. The group following him as he advanced up the stairs blasting commons littered around the various rooms of the house as he progressed up a second flight of stairs.
He made it to the top floor, his team behind as he looked out a window, there didn't appear to be any commons ahead however there was a large bridge going across a giant canyon. "The way to the farm is on the other side of this bridge so let's get moving" Bill said jumping down onto the ground below as did his 3 colleagues, they were left unprepared however as a boomer appeared from the corner next to them. Francis without thinking yelled in shock at seeing the bloated creature hide soo well, pulled the trigger causing it to explode and shower vomit all over them. "Francis!" They all shouted as infected began to close in on there position, "across the bridge run!" Bill shouted as Francis tossed a lit Molotov, the infected charging through the fire or around it. The group fired as they ran, unknowing of a smoker watching them from the top of the bridge, Zoey soon became aware of his presence however as its tongue wrapped around her and pinned her along the side of the bridge chocking her. Bill aimed up as Louis and Francis ran to the safe room, blasting the creatures body off the bridge and to the canyon below, pulling Zoey to her feet as a bucket load of infected charged across the bridge fire coming from his two comrades already in the safe room.
The 2 of them ran for the safe room not even bothering to fire before they just about got in, they turned firing foul mags at the horde and dropping them like flies, the last member of the horde dropped. Bill satisfied walked in with Zoey barring the door behind him as they were in now inside a train car with a safe room integrated into it. "God damnit Francis watch you fire" bill said clearly annoyed at the biker, "yeah sorry about that guess that was my fault" he said sheepishly, "yeah well at least we are in a safe house for now" Louis said turning and looking outside in the direction they were going. "Almost there people, one last push and we are home free" Bill said as he lit his next cigarette, only 3 more left after the one he currently have, "gonna find some more smokes too" he said.
