TOXIC GRAVEYARD
Radiation has made The Infected deadlier. These four are gonna clean it up.
Joining a Campaign game.
Starring: Ellis, Coach, Rochelle, Nick
Coach: Dominion Surry Power Station. Guess we gotta go through it first before we reach the building with the helipad.
Ellis: Let's cut through this parking lot first.
Nick: Dominion? Wow, what a welcoming name for a nuclear power plant.
Rochelle: Shut up, asshole.
Nick: Whatever.
Despite the soured atmosphere, Coach, Ellis, Rochelle and Nick move through the Dominion Surry Power Station's parking lot while continuing to stick together and watch each other's backs. After picking off a few Commons, they arrive at what appears to be the power plant's containment building.
Inside, they catch two Acid Spitters and one Hunter off guard but Ellis gets seriously hurt by a new Uncommon Infected.
[Spitter Death]
Coach: That one's mine.
[Hunter Voice]
Ellis: Where's that Hunter?!
Rochelle: I think up on the ceiling!
[AK-47 fire]
[Hunter Death]
Nick: Bullseye.
[punch]
Ellis: Ahhh! That burns!
[Sniper Rifle fire]
Rochelle: Ellis, you okay? That's a lot of radioactive shit.
Ellis: Yeah, I think.
Coach: Don't let them get too close.
Nick: I figured some of these poor bastards would jump into the radiation.
Rochelle: I think we should call them Nuclear Zombies. 'Cause the name "Radioactive Zombies" is too long.
Nick: Nuclear Zombie, huh?
Coach: Come on, now. In here.
The Nuclear Zombie is an Uncommon Infected wearing a Level C Hazmat Suit that is covered in radioactive liquid. When a survivor is attacked by one, he/she will be badly burned for five seconds or more if kept getting hit.
And unlike the Common Infected and survivors, they are not affected by the puddles of radioactive waste all over the power station.
Nick: Argh! Careful, don't step on the green puddles.
Coach: Hmph, I'll try not to splash some on your suit.
Ellis and Rochelle: *laughing*
Two minutes of searching, moving and killing later, the survivors make it out of the Containment Building and spot a safe house in the form of a small security building next to the facility's power transformer. Just in time too, as a massive explosion occurs in the Containment Building and kicks off a Panic Event.
Rochelle: Safe house in that guard house.
[explosion]
[Left 4 Dead 2 horde screeching]
Nick: SHIT! What the hell was that?!
Rochelle: Explosion in the Containment Building!
Ellis: Here they come! I don't know about you guys, but I'm staying out here to kick some zombie asses after that horrible landing!
[gunfire]
[Toxic Graveyard Horde Theme plays]
Coach: Quickly Nick, pretend they're all chopper pilots!
Nick: Oh, so I'm the big evil guy if I shoot one! But if either of you do it, it's fine?!
Rather than heading for the safe room immediately, the group decides to stay outside and kill the incoming horde in order to feel better after the bad landing and the murder of the news chopper pilot. Hundreds of Commons and Nuclear Zombies, three Spitters, and one Boomer later, Coach, Ellis, Rochelle and Nick find the area clear and proceed to the safe house.
Ellis: Hoo-hoo! Apocalypse my ass! We're livin' in the best shooting range of all time!
Coach: That's like four or five Spitters already. What the hell?
Nick: Maybe places like these are where Spitters come from.
Ellis: Man, I thought sunburns were the worst.
Rochelle: Okay, that's enough fun for now. Everyone in the safe house.
[safe house door closes]
Ellis: We are the kings of the world!
We're safe... for now.
