Chapter 7: The Military Base
12:45am
They could hear Alejandro's and Heather's screams as they got mauled. They were a good fifty feet ahead now.
12:48am
They came to a fork in the road.
One left and one right.
They came to a stop. Chris took out the map. Duncan held his flashlight out, while, Chris gave his to Gwen to hold while he held the map.
"Which path" DJ asked?
Chris looked at the map. "Right leads to the base" he responded.
Groaning and moaning.
They looked and saw the heard of zombie coming their way.
"Don't waste your ammo" Harold warned.
"Run" Owen screeched.
Chris dropped the map on accident, while Duncan and Gwen dropped the flashlights. They were still on when they got trampled by the zombies. A zombie actually tripped over the flashlight and fell on its face, this one being Ezekiel of course.
The campers kept running for their lives.
1:12am.
They ran for over 20 minutes as the factory came into view. The zombies had gained some distance on them, especially the person leading the caboose, being Owen.
But to their misfortune, they had skidded to a stop, when they came to the tall wired gate, with a fence on all sides, extending on all sides, until they wrapped around.
They had no other choice.
"Climb" Cody screamed.
Lucky for them, there weren't any large parts on top and it wasn't electric. And there weren't any zombies on the other side anywhere.
Lindsay and Bridgette were helped up quickly by Geoff and Tyler.
They were over and on the other side in seconds.
Izzy didn't need any help as she climbed over like a monkey.
Harold, Duncan, Chris, and Trent fired round after round into the zombie crowd approaching; making sure none came within reach of them. They did well in the beginning. But they soon were running out of bullets.
Courtney and Gwen were the next up and over. Sierra carried Cody over on her back. Trent ran out of bullets, so he joined Leshawna and climbed over.
Lindsay and Bridgette through over their guns and allowed Harold and Chris to continue to shoot, as they had run out of bullets.
Geoff and DJ were the next two up and over after they gave Duncan their guns and they were to fire.
Owen and Tyler handed over theirs as well and made their way oven to Duncan. Owen had trouble but eventually over.
Chris ran out. He then felt something hit him in the head. He looked down while rubbing his head.
It was Courtney's Ak47. "Thanks" Chris thanked.
She nodded as Chris unloaded the endless bullets.
Duncan and Harold ran out of ammo.
"GO" Chris told them. "I'll hold em off."
"We're not leaving without you" Harold told him.
"I'm not goanna be told twice" Duncan said, climbing and joining the others on the other side.
"I'm not leaving" Harold repeated.
"GO" Chris screamed.
"Harold get over here" Leshawna pleaded.
"I'm running out of ammo" Chris warned.
Harold gave in and climbed up.
1:17am
Harold was almost to the top, when Chris unloaded his last round of ammo.
He yelped.
A second later the zombies swarmed over Chris. They tore him to pieces in seconds. They tore him apart so badly he won't even be able to turn into a zombie. They heard him scream, until it faded when he was gone. Blood started to pour through the bottom of the gate and soak their shoes.
The others pounded on the gate trying to get through.
Harold lost his grip and nearly fell. He was able to hold onto the very top of the gate with his hand while his other dangled in the air. Harold grabbed the gate with his other hand and was now dangling only above the zombies reach. As they pounded harder and harder, trying to get him off.
"Hold on" Leshawna begged.
"I can't for much longer" Harold warned.
"What do we do" Lindsay whined.
"He's a goner" Duncan said coldly.
The zombie pounded harder and harder, putting more and more and more weight into the fence, it started to shake wildly.
It was getting harder and harder for Harold to hold on. His arms were getting very weak.
Geoff found the courage and rescaled the fence. He reached over and grabbed Harold by the collar of his shirt, making sure the zombies didn't scratch him as he did. He pulled Harold up and over. Harold got swung over and landed on his feet next to Gwen. Geoff got down and rejoined them.
"Thanks" Harold said walking over to Geoff.
"No, prob, I don't want to lose anyone else dude" Geoff responded.
"You're a hero" Bridgette cooed to him.
Geoff was glad it was dark, because he was blushing.
Then that's when they realized the gate was getting weaker and weaker under the zombies pressure and weight going up against it.
They turned and gazed at their surroundings of the factory.
1:22am
They were looking at a giant big metal door with two smaller doors, one on each side. (Use imagination for the rest.)
They all quickly ran to the door on the right.
Gwen was there first. It was open. They all entered just in time because the zombies nocked the gate down.
Ezekiel zombie broke down the right door and entered with the other zombies
Will they all reach the roof in time. Who will, live, die and save the day. What awaits the remaining survivors.
