Chapter 4: Hellfire

After making it out of the sewers, the survivors run into more zombies. They had to run away. They entered the Apple Inn Square. However, while they were there, the boiler inside exploded. Everyone was concerned.

"What happened?" David said loudly.

"What's wrong?" Kevin asked.

"What was that?" Yoko asked as well.

"What's going on?" Cindy said as well.

The survivors enter the Boiler Room. David sees a radio on a firefighter's body. He hears voices and got concerned.

"Hmm?"

David thought of using it for help and starts to talk on it.

"Hello? Hey! What now?"

David didn't get any replies but he overheard that they should proceed to the front lobby.

"Don't know what to do…"

Kevin sees a ladder behind him.

"It looks like we can go up."

"I saw a door a while ago…a corpse pinned it shut though," Yoko told them.

"We'll have to split up."

Yoko and Cindy proceed up the ladder while Kevin and David went outside. Yoko saw something in the firefighter's pocket that she had to look.

"I wonder what this is for…" Yoko said, taking the ID card.

Yoko and Cindy proceed their way. They see a lone zombie. They think that it shouldn't be much of a problem but…

"Help!" Yoko shouted. She wasn't able to dodge the zombie and is scratched.

Cindy immediately shoots the zombie.

"Are you all right?" Cindy asked.

"I've been infected!"

At Kevin and David…

A zombie bites David.

"Help me, dammit!" he shouted.

"Get off our asses, bastard!" Kevin exclaimed at the zombie and started to shoot him with his .45 auto.

"You all right?" Kevin asked him.

"I'm bleeding!"

"Take it easy. I'll help you," Kevin consoled and "shouldered" him.

At Yoko and Cindy…

Yoko and Cindy are hanging on a narrow ledge.

"I'm scared. The wind's strong," Yoko complained.

"I shouldn't have even tried this!"

Yoko sees a zombie trying to destroy a window from inside. Yoko shouts in fear and the zombie breaks through and tries to eat her. Both of them fell down.

Fortunately for Yoko, she was able to turn her body while falling and she let her foot stay on the ledge.

"You can't die yet!" Cindy told her.

She fell down and grabbed onto the ledge. She repeatedly kicked the zombie and both Yoko and the zombie fell down because her foot slipped. Yoko grabbed Cindy's leg and Cindy climbed back up. Yoko grabbed onto the ledge and both of them are back in position.

"Whew. Thank you very much," Yoko thanked her.

"I had to do it."

Suddenly, crows appear while they were making their way.

"Shit!" Yoko cursed.

"Oh no!"

The crows dive to attack them but they got hit by a flare that came out of an open window. Both Yoko and Cindy looked bewildered as they see the crow move around on fire and start to die one by one.

At Kevin and David…

They are at Room 204.

"There's a map on the wall," Kevin said.

"And lights on it," David said.

"You think this has something to do with the pictures with switches?"

"Is that the answer to this?"

"Which ones aren't lighted?"

"1 and 4."

At Yoko and Cindy…

They are at the Owner's Room.

"It's a hole. It looks too steep to go down," Cindy said.

"We need a platform or whatever shit we can use."

"Will that crate do?" Cindy asked, pointing at it.

Yoko and Cindy push the crate down the hole.

At Kevin and David…

They are at Room 204.

"There. We lighted the map completely. Now what?" Kevin complained.

"This puzzle makes no goddamn sense!" David complained.

Note: This is one of my favorite ad-libs in the game. :p

"O…kay."

"Now we're REALLY gonna die!"

David is so angry and raged. He thought of leaning on a wall but he leaned on a statue instead. The statue had a sharp edge that poked his back.

"Ow! What the hell!"

David saw the statue and angrily breaks it. When he saw the broken pieces, he sees the Gold Key.

"It's a gold key…" David said.

"David! You little lifesaver, you!" Kevin told him in a nice manner. He gave David a noogie.

"Hey! HEY! Stop it, dammit! Damn, it hurts!" David complained. Kevin didn't care though.

At Yoko and Cindy…

Yoko is at Room 101 and Cindy is at the Boiler Room.

At Room 101.

Yoko reads a file on the bed.

"Hmm, J. Wilson," Yoko thought. She turns around and sees a safe. She remembers the file that she took and looks for the name J. Wilson.

"DCH…is that the code?" she thought.

At the Boiler Room.

Cindy sees a dead firefighter's body.

"Him, too."

She also saw the broken ladder.

"The ladder's broken. I won't be able to go down anymore unless I find another way." She thought.

Cindy thought that she could find something useful if she searched the firefighter's body. She searched his pockets and got a card key.

"It's a card key. I think I'll need this."

At Kevin and David…

Kevin and David shoot a zombie and make it to the Security Office door.

"We need a passcode," David said.

"Why the hell would there be puzzles in an ordinary inn!"

"Let's just search around if we want to live"

Kevin and David search around for a file until Kevin bumps into the file inside the Linen Room.

"2287. I found it."

Kevin looks for David and finds him.

"I found the answer," He told him.

"Let's head back…"

Kevin and David proceed back to the door. Kevin keys in 2287. The door unlocks.

"Good," Kevin said.

At Yoko and Cindy…

Yoko and Cindy meet each other.

"What did you find?" Cindy asked.

"I found this silver key and this shotgun," Yoko replied.

"Great! I found this card key and a few herbs I might need. Hey, I think we can use the card key on the card reader for that room."

Yoko and Cindy precede to the door and Cindy swipes the card key on the card reader. Simultaneously, the survivors enter the Security Room.

"Kevin!" Cindy exclaimed.

"Cindy! You're all right!"

Kevin and Cindy hug each other and so does David and Yoko.

"I thought you were a goner," David told Yoko.

"You too,"

"Oh and by the way, I found this gold key."

"I found this silver key."

"So we split up again?" Cindy asked.

Yoko and Cindy proceed to where David and Kevin were and vice versa.

"Up the stairs?" Yoko asked Cindy.

"Up the stairs."

At Kevin and David…

"It's a hole. Do we jump down?" Kevin asked David.

"It's safe anyway."

Kevin and David jump down the crate and into the corridor.

"What are those!" David shouted panicky.

"I don't know what they are but they're gonna kill us!"

Kevin and David shoot the lickers. After killing them, David examines the locked door.

"It's locked. It has a gold relief in it."

"Gold relief? So this is what the key's for?"

Kevin uses the key and they enter the power room. David sees a battery and takes it.

"I found a battery…I think I can create a weapon with this."

Kevin examines the control panel.

"I think we have to solve another puzzle."

At Yoko and Cindy…

They are at the third floor.

"What's that!" Yoko shouted panicky

"I don't know but they're gonna kill us!"

Yoko and Cindy shoot the lickers. Yoko examines the locked door.

"It's locked. It has a silver relief in it."

"Silver relief? Try using that key you found."

Yoko uses the silver key on the door and they enter. Cindy notices something sparkling on the tomato plant.

"Is that a ruby?"

"It may come in handy."

Cindy gets the jewel.

"Let's go back."

At Kevin and David…

"Wonder what this means?" Kevin asked.

"I don't know. I think it's the power supply. Now that we solved it, let's go back."

The survivors meet at the Security Office.

"Hey, I found this jewel." Cindy told them.

"Try inserting that into that statue" Kevin told her, pointing at the statue that has a hole in its bust.

Cindy goes to the statue and tries to put the ruby but it doesn't fit.

"It doesn't fit," she said.

"Great!" David complained.

David, annoyed and pissed, leans on the bookshelf nearby and the bookshelf moves away from him.

"What the hell!"

"It's a secret door," Yoko said.

"I thought I heard a click,"

"I heard it, too. Try putting that jewel now, Cindy," Kevin told her.

Cindy puts the jewel and the secret door opens. The survivors enter and they see the lobby. They operate the ladder and go down.

"There's our exit. Now let's get outta here!" Kevin told his friends.

The survivors run to the entrance but the vent from above fell down. The Regis Licker came down. Kevin was curious and he tried to see her face but is strangled by the Regis Licker.

"Help!"

"Kevin!" Cindy exclaimed

David, Yoko and Cindy run to help him but the Regis Licker threw Kevin to them and got hit.

"Why you little!" Kevin threw a tantrum.

Kevin shoots the Regis Licker many times. The Regis licker vibrates back and forth and unleashes a barrage of attacks with her tongue hitting the survivors and knocking them down. The survivors quickly stand up.

"Damn you!" he exclaimed again.

"Kevin, wait!" David told him.

Kevin didn't listen and shoots the Regis Licker many times. The Regis licker vibrates back and forth and unleashes a barrage of attacks with her tongue hitting the survivors and knocking them down.

The survivors quickly stand up but they are weakened. Cindy shoots the two lickers behind them.

"They're still alive."

Cindy uses up a First Aid Spray and heals her friends.

"You guys kill that creature! I'll kill these two." Yoko told them.

Kevin, David and Cindy shoot the Regis Licker. To make sure nothing bothers them, Yoko rings the bell and the lickers start to go insane with the sound.

The Regis Licker vibrates back and forth and unleashes a barrage of attacks with her tongue while Kevin, David and Cindy ran away.

"Die!" David told to the Regis Licker.

Everyone shoots and kills the Regis Licker. A firefighter destroys the entrance.

"You made it. Get out! Hurry!" he said.

The survivors get out of Apple Inn.

"That was close. It's not just the hotel. The whole city's burning. You were lucky," Danny, the fireman said.

"Thanks," Cindy thanked him.

"We were trying to help the others. It's worse than a war zone. You survivors better get out of the city while you can. I have a very bad feeling about this."

"By the way, this is for you," Yoko gave the two ID cards to him.

As Danny stares at the ID cards, he says, "May you rest in peace."
