Corperal Kevin Matters spun around to face the crashing King Raven just as its doors were ripped open. He spun and hit the alarm bolted on the wall. Sirens began wailing. He ran outside followed by other Marines as gunfire rang out. Marines were quickly cut down and were converted as the hoard spread. "Sh*t! Zulu-niner to command-" His com hissed static and he cursed and took cover behind a low wall as Marines fired at the infected that seemed to just grow from five to twenty-five in a matter of seconds.The Seargent was pulled out from cover by one the infected and quickly changed from multiple bites. Jak Garcia skidded in behid the wall and started firing.
Matters loaded his M82 assault rifle and fired into the hoard as soldiers were screaming around him from being bitten and infected. "Fire!!"
"Fire! Sustain fire!" A Lieutenant shouted. "Ahhhhrrrrghhhhrrhgg!" His head was violently torn of as several infected grabbed at him. He quickly changed.
Empty cartriges ching changd to the ground as the remaining Marines fired. Private Brian Denester meleed an infected marine as it got too close, removing its head in a bloody haze. "Cover, reloading!"
Kevin turned and shot a zombie in the head then fired a burst into the hoard of, now fifty. "What do we do?!"
Jak fired at several zombies piling over the wall near Brian and dropped them with headshots. "You have the senior rank, you tell us!!" He shouted and chucked a grenade over the wall.
Brian Denester resumed firing only to have to duck as the grenade exploded in a orange and bloody ball of flame, ripping apart zombies into multiple body pieces. "Yeaaah! Woo!" He stood up and shot into the hoard.
Kevin glanced at Jak the raised his rifle. "Good move soldier!" He fired. The flash of his weapon filling his vision. The ringing of shots in his ears. The rifle clicked empty and Kevin lobbed a grenade over cover along with Brian.
Jak fired at a zombie and blew half its jaw off then crouched as both grenades blew. Spilling infected into puddles of flying blood and flesh. "Hoohaa!" He fired again and killed another with a headshot.
Brian fired into the lessening crowd but was running out of ammo fast. "Getting hot here!"
"Yea, and I wanna' live to see my kids in Los Angeles again.." Jak Garcia chimed in.
Matters nodded, he was low too. "Lets get out of here then!" He turned and climbed over and into the building through the window. Denester and Garcia followed. Kevin made his way through the building and crashed through the door to the other side. Brian followed Matters through.
They ran towards the vehical park.
"Arrrrghhggghgggrrrrrhhggg!!!! You infected bastaaaards!!" Jak screamed as the infected clawed and dragged him. The look of pure horror on his face made Kevin's heart leap.
"Aww sh*t!" The Corporal stopped spun aimed and fired. A mercy shot. The bullet zipped through the air and tore flesh. Kevin saw that Jak smiled when the bullet hit his heart then he slumped. Dead.
Brian stopped at the motor-pool entrance then when Matters caught up with him they both entered.
"I'm sorry for his familiy."
"You did him proud Corporal, dont worry about it. Lets just get us outta here!" Brian said, his voice echoing in the motor-pool, as he climbed into the passenger side of a Humvee, ignoring the 30cal mounted on the back.
"Right!" Kevin took the drivers seat, turned the keys, hit the gas, revved the engine and the Humvee schreached off up the ramp crashing through the barrier and through several infected zombies.
Denester fired from the passengers side while Matters drove the vehical through infected and onto the road out of the base. The sirens continued to wail their deathly warning from a distance.
