Chapter: 4 - The Shadow Looms
I stared wide-eyed at Ryo. The horrible truth was clear in my mind. We are trapped in the chute, unless we break through and drop into the zombie- infested room. Ryo looked at me in panic, his heartbeat was incredibly fast. Apparently, the only audible sound in the narrow chute was the combined beating of our fear filled hearts. I nodded to Ryo with a confident look. He just bit his lips and reluctantly nodded.
I smashed the rusty grate with little trouble.
The sudden breaking of the grate alerted the zombies. They stared at the vent with a puzzled look on their mutilated faces. Ryo and I hurriedly scurried back to the blind spot like a mouse. The both of us exchanged glances. Ryo shook his head and pointed to the broken spot with his shivering fingers, I realized I had to make the first move. Slowly and silently, I crawled to the spot. I was only an inch away from the target when a sudden moan made me jumped. The entire vent rumbled a bit. The vent is giving way, I thought. Any moment now and this entire thing will collapse. This is not good. "Ryo," I whispered, he slowly brought his head closer to mine. I continued, "This thing is giving way, we have to get down before it breaks into two."
"What the-"
Before he could finish his sentence, a portion of the chute behind me dropped to the caretaker's room. It hit the bloodstained floor with much impact. The zombies were more alert than ever, and they hurried to the spot and look at me with greedy eyes.
"This couldn't be better," I said to myself sarcastically, and withdrew my Beretta. With precision accuracy, I fired a shot to the nearby zombie. It retraced a few steps back. I dropped down to the caretaker's room, squatting down to reduce the impact and motioned Ryo the follow. Moments later, I was firing away while Ryo was fumbling at the door. In the midst of that, the four zombies in the room were slowly advancing towards me.
"The door is locked," Ryo explained, and quickly grabbed the nearby broomstick. "Great."
Ryo thrust the broomstick forward, like a lance and it poked one of the advancing zombies. The zombie does not even know what in the world is going on. They walked as if stilts were attached to their rotten legs. I stayed rooted to the ground until Ryo yell in my ears.
"FIRE VINCENT!"
My hands were sweaty and uncontrollable, but they quickly and automatically find the trigger and pull it. Five pistol bullets were enough to put one zombie down. One zombie staggered towards me and I gave it a strong kick to the shin. Ryo whacked the other zombie with the stick. It stumbled and fell. I fired at the last zombie and it dropped dead soon. To make sure they are dead, Ryo smashed the broomstick into the bloody chest of theirs. Most of them stayed motionless while Ryo smiled happily.
"Ok, so we should make it to the other part of the town from here." I stated, while examining the map on the wall next to the green door. Ryo ransacked the entire room searching for weapons. He found nothing except for a can of insecticide.
"Well, lighter and aerosol cans make a mini-flamethrower." He announced, and proudly stuffed the bottle into his pocket.
"Interesting. Let's head out of here as soon as possible." I said, and opened the green door. As soon as I opened it, the vent that we were crawling in before collapsed into a great heap. The caretaker was squashed and the zombies were no more.
"We were lucky," I said, and take a deep breath, "let's go."
We stalked the graveyard, carefully avoiding suspicious tombstones that seemed to have the power of shifting aside and revealing those undead. Along the way, the night sky started to turn a little bit cloudy and not long enough, it drizzled. Ryo and I ran towards the main gate of the graveyard.
"Where's outside this?" I asked him, while using my hand to cover my head.
"If I'm not wrong," he said, while he sneezed, and continued, "it should lead to the main road again. We should be opposite the road block."
"Great, that should lead to the airfield. We stand a chance after all, move it." I told him, and pushed the gate open. However what stood in front of us led us to think otherwise.
It was a troop of zombies, a throng of them, advancing slowly towards the graveyard.
"Jesus," Ryo curses, "Damn it." "We should have something." I glanced around for some mass destruction weapon. The zombies were quite a distance away, but give it a good ten minutes and they will devour me. Out of the corner of my eye, a shimmering of sliver caught my attention. I stared at the ground and examined it for a minute. A midst the soil, I found a slivery, ordinary lighter.
"Wait a minute, if there's a lighter here, and you have an aerosol can." my mind traced off a bit. "We need something that can mass spray the insecticide, or create a huge fire.
"Where can we find that?" Ryo countered, obviously giving up, "we are doomed."
Pessimist, I thought, I will find a way.
I searched through the graveyard. It is not helping; nothing in the graveyard possesses the strength to help us in this situation. Maybe we can run, I thought. Then again, where else? We are trapped in the graveyard. The chute is broken; the roadblock stands in our way. It was only a matter of time before those mutants get us.
"We have no choice Ryo," I announced, "Let's just try to find a way to stall them."
Ryo nodded. And we left the graveyard towards the advancing zombies.stalking and staggering towards us.
