central Manchester plaza, near Manchester college and university
Ghost squad, SAS ETCU
they all crept through the building uneasily, never letting go of the various weapons they held, an occasional brain on legs appeared and was quickly dealt with, kicking down the door they saw a dead civilian, he was lying on his stomach with a face contorted in pain, what drew their attention though was the two bit tiny marks on his forehead, blood ran down them, the stream making its way down the ear and slowly pooling on the pavement. They all tightened their hold, the synthetic plastics barely holding, they all heard a shrill scream from a brain on legs as it flung itself at Void 2, Echo 1 quickly swung round one of his pistols and fired several bullets, showing remarkable accuracy, each bullet hit its mark and flew out the other side, the brain on legs still hit Void 2, who then roughly grabbed it and dropped the body on the floor
"wait a minute" Spectre 4 looked at the little claws and then at the marks on the man's' forehead
"it latched on to him and stuck its claws in his head fore some reason"
"I think I know the reason" Spectre 4 glanced at Echo 1, who in turn was pointing one of his pistols at the other end of the street, Spectre 4 then wheeled around and saw it...it appeared to be a man with a brain on legs attached to his head, it was moving slowly, dragging its feet and moaning. They all stared at it for a moment before drawing their weapons and aiming them
"that ain't a brain on legs, it's a fucking face humper" Echo 1 looked down his iron sights, despite everything he still preferred them over laser sights, and fired 4 shots, the first hit the things left knee, the second hit its right knee, the third hit its chest and the final bullet hit its head, the final shot caused it to moan louder and then collapse, they all didn't move for a second, to make sure it was really dead before stalking over to it, keeping alert for more of the things, when they reached it the thing looked disgusting, the face humper had been blown right off, revealing a face set in fear disgust and horror, the body had also been sucked of blood, giving it a sickly white colour, the fingers were starting to lengthen
"Jesus..." there really wasn't anything to say about it, other than just stare in horror, before too long they came to their senses and began guarding each other from more of the 'things'. When they found that there weren't any more they began moving again, going quietly, as the things didn't seem to have eyes, they passed several and a few dead face humper's, evidently not everyone wanted to be a thing, suddenly they all heard a loud moan, and turned to face the sound, seeing a thing, they took time to analyse how it moved, sensed beyond hearing etc. once it was about 5 metres away they opened fire killing it almost instantly, unfortunately it woke up around 10 things all of whom started shambling there way towards the squad, none of them had any grenades nor grenade launchers on their rifles so they were stuck with gunning down the zombies one at a time, due to the frontal assault they didn't notice the things behind then until one threw spectre 4 forward, the did a forward roll and quickly sprinted back to the other members of his squad, Void 2 was taking care of the things behind them, as did spectre 4, this left echo 1 to deal with those in the original assault, which he did.
Around 5 minutes later the street was empty of the things, leaving a startling array of bloodied corpses of former civilians
"well...they look like zombies and they act like zombies, I think their zombies" spectre 4 was the joker of the group, not that any of them were particularly funny or inclined to be funny, but the name stuck.
They then kept on moving through the deserted streets, finally they reached a nondescript office block and made there way, gunning down any zombies along the way, to the car park, there was the land rover they had used to get here, still mindful of any face humper's or zombies or them weird aliens that shot electricity, Void 2 lowered himself underneath the car and felt in a gap before finding the keys, he grasped them and pulled himself up, unlocking the car and starting up the engine, the others climbed in and all hell broke lose.
AN review please, is it really that difficult, on another note, the zombies are attracted sound like in L4D and L4D2
