Erik watched as the last person, Nick, stood on the top of the ladder
they set up. Erik held the ladder in place until Nick climbed into the vent
and turned around.
"I'll go get my gun." Erik said turning from the ladder and running to the armory. Nick nodded and checked his pistol for the fifth time.
Erik waited for the door to close, he picked up the MP5 laying on the shelf. He knew the next step would be very risky. I just have to take the chance, he thought to himself. Erik opened a control panel on the wall and removed a disc and put it in his pocket for safe keeping.
"Bust open the doors AIDAD." Erik said and walked casually out of the armory.
Nick heard the others climbing through the vents behind him, their sounds getting farther away. He saw Erik and sighed in relief.
Nick held the top of the ladder as Erik stepped forward to get on it.
Nick smiled: "Taking your ti"
Bam!
The outer door.
Nick pulled himself further out of the vents and aimed at the entry door. "Move!" Nick shouted to Erik, who had flipped the MP5 over his shoulder.
Erik jogged up the ladder, skipping rungs and tripping over his own feet.
Bam!
The inner door burst open and smacked into the wall, falling off the hinges. Erik watched the emptiness, slowly climbing upwards. Halfway up the ladder, the raggedy blood covered figures began to appear. Erik restrained from firing. He began jumping up the rungs.
Nick aimed at the zombies below, watching them move like liquid through the small hallway.
Erik stood on the top step and lifted a shaking hand up to Nick.
Nick put the pistol aside A low howling noise jumped at them. Erik dropped his hand to hold the MP5. He fired shots to the zombies slowly gathering around the bottom of the ladder. It was becoming a sea of rotting flesh below. Loud steps became audible from the hallway, followed by the long yell. It was much louder, right outside the doorway. Erik's hands shook as he leveled the weapon on more of the creatures and fired his weapon franticly at the base of the ladder.
"Come on Erik!" Nick shouted, reaching further.
The loud footsteps turned into plodding jackhammers hitting the metal floor in the hall. Another howl.
Erik fired at the mass of zombies below.
Click Click
The massive bulk of flesh appeared from the hallway, running at full speed. It plowed through the crowd of undead like bowling pins. Erik threw the MP5 away and turned and grabbed hold of Nick's waiting hand.
The C type tackled the ladder, practically splitting it in half. The beast turned around, it's body cut and disfigured. Nick attempted to pull backwards, but with no success. Erik's mind raced, the figures below awaiting his fleshy snack. He watched the C stare up at him. It bent it's legs. IT'S GONNA JUMP, Erik whipped the USP from behind his back, the creature lunging upward through the air. It's trajectory would easily hit him. He had not a second to aim, he fired three times. The corpse hit him, the big face with three bloody holes in it, the mouth wide with blood running everywhere. Big round eyes blank, staring upward. The face fell away and the monster landed in the pile of dead below. Erik paused at the experience for a moment, feeling his grip lessen.
