Chapter 1: The world anew

Corporal Rex Fenix was part of a detachment force from the United nations used to rescue uninfected civillians from dead zones plagued by the newly found "green flu". Halo jumps were the means of entry and any form of sea vehicle or air transport were the only way out. Unless you went to the American/Canadian border, but now his mission just got a whole lot tougher.

"Evac point is overrun sir, they've breached the defences. They're within the complex. What should we do sir?" I shouted as I radioed Commander Greene.

"Keep fighting, the boat is but 2 minutes out." Commander Greene replied.

"Copy that sir, Rex out. Give me a headcount soldiers, soundoff." I said over the team comms.

"Only 8 of us are in fighting condition sir, 4 injured critically, another 3 are dead and 5 more are MIA sir." Replied one of my soldiers.

"You take the wounded back a few checkpoints and link up with command and stay, we'll cover you." I shouted while mowing down infected on the .50cal machine gun.

"Umm... Sir our wounded just died and have also blown their brains out." The trooper replied.

"Shit, quickly blow the heads off of the rest or they'll stand up and stab us in the back." I said worried.

"What are you talking aboarghh." That was all that could come out of the soldier's mouth before he was taken into the darkness by a long and leathery rope.

"Man down! Sir has evac arrived yet, we are getting decimated out here." I yelled over the radio.

"Corporal, i'm telling you this with the heaviest feeling of regret. We used your squad as a bait for the infected so we could escape. May your soul be at rest when they get you." He radioed, without the slightest sound of sympathy.

"When the UN finds out they hang you at the gallows you bastard. And if they don't I'll fucken end you myself." I shouted back in fury.

~Comm link terminated~

~Establish new link?~

"Agh fuck it. Alpha squad evacuation is over and we have been betrayed we need to run... Alpha?" I inquired.

Everything was empty there was nothing but bodies upon bodies and all that was alive was the odd zombie. Rex then grabbed his rifle and helmet then started running down the alleyway out of the complex.

Author's note: I'm pretty happy with this as it is and where it's going. Next one will be more interesting hopefully.
