Left 4 Dead: Gemini Strain.
Chapter XIX: Jingle Bells for an Unwelcomed Hell – Russell
A quick
survey of the area outside gave Russell the biggest adrenaline surge
he'd gotten yet. Walls had been erected out of plywood and barbed
wire that stood nearly twelve feet high on each side of the building
and stretched out halfway into the third lane of the six-lane main
road. Three mounted guns sat spread apart equally in the shape of a
triangle in the walled off area; the gun at point slightly back so
that its sides were not exposed. He looked into the window to his
left that faced the street and saw another mounted gun placed in it.
"That'll
be our last defense if the first three fall."
He thought to himself, "You,
You, and Me!"
He shouted loudly pointing at one woman and one man, "Let's
go!"
With
that he ran out the door catching most of the survivors by surprise,
but a second later he heard bullets whizzing by his ears as they
provided cover for the three. Russell reached his turret first, which
was the one on the far left, and squeezed the trigger.
Now what
happened next made Russell piss himself, a stick slid out of the
barrel of the gun and a white flag unrolled with the word "BANG!"
in bold black letters on it.
He vaguely noticed the yells of the
other two as they fell victims to a similar fate.
The man's gun
back fired, tearing his hand to shreds and the woman's just fell
apart.
Russell, his pants darkened, fell to his knees as the
infected washed over the bleeding man; absorbing his horrified
screams. One zombie dived at Russell, its eyes glassed over and gray,
right before its head exploded and the whirl of a Gatling gun rang in
Russell's ears.
He watched as zombies fell before him almost
like magic, then a grenade wet off a ways ahead of him snapping him
back into his horrid reality.
"Dammit,
Russ, MOVE!"
Yelled Theo as he began to fire in bursts in order to keep the turret
from overheating.
He had to run.
"The
girl!"
Russ picked up his two handguns from each side of him and shockingly
dodged bullets over to the fallen woman.
Her arm had been torn
out of socket and her lower jaw hung limply. Her eyes were wide as
she stared up at him, he pulled back the hammer of his Colt 1911
handgun, she closed her eyes; he ended her life.
