Ben leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. "****..." Opening his eyes, he ducked out of the way of an axe that had hit right where his head was. Moving like water, he threw the infected onto the ground, punched it in the face as it tried to rise again, and put one hand it it's mouth. Gripping hard, he pulled until the top of the infected's head ripped off.
Rek spun to the noise of gunshots coming from down the darkened hallway. He could see flashes but not much else. With a sigh and a fleeting glance at his Hazmat armour on the table, wishing he was wearing a working suit, he reached out and opened his mind. Suddenly he could smell the copper taste of blood and flesh from those around him, the tangible call of the infected closing in on them. They sang his name almost as if he were their god.
Rek quickly closed his mind before he lost control, and having gathered the information he needed, there was no need to risk further exposure. He turned to Jacob. "Get what you came for, Lieutenant Book, then get ou-"
The ground below their feet, armoured or booted, shook with a rumbling vibration accompanied by the floor in the centre of the room cracking and shaking.
Rek's eyes widened and he pulled the catch on his assault rifle. "We don't want to be here in the next few minutes. I suggest you hurry, Lieutenant. If I have to make that an order to your people, I will." He looked down as the crack grew in width by a few centimeters. "We should leave... Now."
Selina looked back at Rek."Right!"she looked back down the dark hall were Ben was."Ok people.Lets move it NOW!"Even though the only thing they'd accomplished to gather was Ammo and weapons.It was still better than nothing.Selina rushed to the side of Lieutenant Jacob."I don't wanna go without each and everyone of them but if I must."
"You guys get out of here! Me and Ben started this, we'll hold them off long enough for you to get the chopper in the air." Jacob started to run towards where Ben was fighting. "Don't even try to stop us, you won't have the time to leave if you do." Cocking his weapon, he rushed in, by Ben's side and hunkered down.
Ben swung around and fired on six approuching infected, dropping four of them, and wounding the two others. Jacob scrambled to set up a defensive position, as Ben held off the remaining infected. "If we get out of here, there's something I need to show you!" Jacob leveled the rifle and looked oddly at Ben. "What do you mean? There's nothing that will really surprise me these days.." Ben laughed and dropped an infected with his fist. "It's the armor we used before all of this. Before I went Marines, and you went Hazmat." Jacob fired until his clip ran out, and he switched to his sidearm. "Alright, we'll make a move when the others get out of here unharmed."
carlos grabbed onto a crate of mostly grenades and ammunition. two infected who had apparently lost control to him grabbed a crate of rations. soon a third came over to help, then a forth. soon the crates were moving swiftly towards the helicopter. "selina, logan, move!" he let go of the crates and allowed the infecteds to pull them to the helicopter. he ran back and rushed into the room, his eyes dimming. a high pitched, almost digital screech wailed out of his throat. encoded within nthe screech was a message to the infected, stating that he was the supreme leader and anyrace lord wishing to take the position would have to kill him to get it. also that any stray infected infected in the surrounding area should help out the soldiers instead of terrorizing them.
Jacob and Ben covered their ears as two Race Lords challeneged Carlos' call. Jacob fired into the crowd. "If we can't shut those other two up, they're going to attract a lot more attention.." Ben fired as well. "Not to mention, all the ones he tries to get to help us, will just go mindless when he is out of range.. matter of fact, I like those odds!" With a smile, Ben stood, pushing forwards towards the crowds of infected. A familiar scream echoed through the building that made Jacob's hair stand on end. He tapped his comm and yelled. "Get out of here, now!!!"
Jacob and Ben both felt the ground collapse in the room behind them. "We've got to go, now!" Ben fired while running down the hallway. "What about the others!?" Jacob followed after Ben but looked back. "We gave them as long as we could, if they abuse that time, then let 'em die!" Deep down, Jacob knew he was absolutely right, but was still worried about the others. "What are we going to do without the others?" Ben sighed and pulled out his side arm. "Well, I told you that I have our old armor waiting. It's a hell of a lot better than these!" Jacob shrugged and charged forward with Ben. They both ran forward and slammed through a door leading out into the main courtyard. "Make a move for one of those trucks!" They both made a mad dash for a camoflauged truck and jumped inside. They started it and made sure to attract as much attention to themselves as possible. "We'll lead the big guns away from the others!" They flew down the road, past man streets and didn't slow down until Ben found the correct storage warehouse. They ran inside after being assaulted by dozens of infected. A few minutes later, they emerged in their old battle armor.
