Before getting back out there, Zoey asks Snowden about his looks since he does not look like the average American soldier.
Zoey: Hey, Snowden, I've been meaning to ask. Of all the zombie and non-zombie soldiers we've seen, you don't look like one of them. Why is that?
Snowden: Oh, this isn't a uniform, actually. It's a Halloween costume for a party my friends and I were having before The Infection. I was supposed to be a modern-day Captain America. Turns out I was accidentally more prepared to fight zombies than others.
Louis: What happened to your friends back then?
Snowden: No longer with us. Which is why I'm holding onto this outfit. To remember them by.
Louis: I'm real sorry.
Snowden: Thank you, so am I.
Outside, the good news is that the catwalk underneath the bridge is still intact. The bad news...
Snowden: Oka— What the... no.
Louis: Aww, hell. That is a lot of zombies in such a narrow catwalk.
Snowden: Not just that. I knew these people. They were civilian survivors who stayed with us in the camp, with absolutely no combat experience. What the hell did you do to them, CEDA?!
Zoey: Oh, this sucks big time. *sighs* So what do we do now?
Snowden: Continue with the plan. Get to the sailboat. There's nothing we can do for them now.
Zoey: Aren't they people you know?
Snowden: They were already dead the moment they became zombies. They're rotting, walking dead corpses now. Killing them would be putting their remains out of their misery. So yeah, let's do it.
Francis: I got your backs.
Snowden: Whoever goes through the door first needs to be protected well by those behind in order to keep moving forward. I think I see movement on the port, so don't let your guard down when we get there. And watch where you point your guns. Easy to accidentally shoot ourselves in situations like this.
Snowden opens the door and takes point with his Chainsaw, subsequently starting the Gauntlet Crescendo Event.
Snowden: Taking point, stay behind me!

To the original survivors' surprise, there are Chargers who are throwing Common Infected and Spitters spitting sticky goo at them from the port.
Francis: What the hell?
Charger Voice*

Francis: Argh!
Snowden: You alright, Francis?!
Francis: Yeah, I am indestructible after all!
Snowden: On the port, watch out for Chargers throwing random shit at us!
Charger Death*
Zoey: Nailed it!
Snowden: Good, but look out for more!
Spitter Voice*
Louis: It's the bitch that spits, right?!
Snowden: Yeah, Spitter! Get her!
Spitter Spit*
Louis: *yelps* Help! Get it off me! I can't move!
Snowden: Stay calm! It'll dissolve in six seconds! Everyone protect Louis!
Spitter Death*
Snowden: Spitfired!
Francis: Whoa, nice shot!
Louis: I'm good, let's go!
After mowing through the stampede of Common Infected for four and a half minutes, the group reaches the port. But they have to kill two incoming Tanks first or they will sink into the deadly water.
Snowden: I feel a Tank coming! We have to kill it or it'll sink us!
Zoey: Any weakness we haven't heard of, Snow'?
Snowden: Not a single one. Just hit it a lot anywhere until it's dead! And remember to not take a dip in the water!
Zoey: TANK!
gunfire*
Snowden: Whoa, you're shooting me! Shoot the Tank!
Tank Death*
Francis: Sorry, brother.
Snowden: At least it wasn't fatal.
Tank Yells*
Snowden: Here comes another one! Open fire!
gunfire*
Louis: Snowden, I'm not the Tank!
Tank Death*
Snowden: Sorry about that. Moving and shooting is quite hard, even for me.
Louis: I get it, man.
Left 4 Dead 1 horde screeching*

Snowden: Now's our chance! Get on the boat!
To cover the escape, Francis throws a Molotov Cocktail at the incoming horde.
Francis: Fire in the hole!
Snowden: Hurry, Francis! A Boomer can puke on the fire and put it out now!
Regardless, the survivors manage to get on board, disconnect the sailboat from the pier and sail out of Rayford. Just in time to see a Boomer puke on Francis' fire and clear the way for the Common Infected.
However, seeing them sink and die in the water proves that zombies cannot swim.
Francis: Whoa, they can do that now? Close call. Hey, we made it! Hell yeah!
Snowden: We actually did! Hooah!
Louis: Yeah! Woooo!
Zoey: Oh yeah, lovely!
