Chapter Eleven 💀 Tunnel Of Death 💀
After a while of driving, Ansel slowed the car down as they came up to a tunnel before the four of them got out of the car. "You really want to go in there?" Ansel asked, raising his eyebrows as he glanced back at Thomas who was looking at the map.
"I don't wanna come across as too negative, but I mean, if I was a Crank, that's exactly where I would be." Newt said and Thomas glanced up from the map, "I don't think we have much of a choice." He said and they all stared at the tunnel.
"All right. I get shotgun." Newt said before walking back to the car.
A little while later, they drove cautiously through the tunnel, the car shaking every so often from potholes. "Okay, here we go." Ansel said as Thomas, Frypan and Newt shined flashlights around to look at where the car's lights didn't reach. "Yeah, just take it nice and slow." Newt said and Ansel glanced at him for a quick moment as he drove around cars.
"Whoa!" Ansel said as he hit the brakes when they saw someone standing in the middle of the road. "It's okay. It's just one, so take it slow, go around him. We'll be fine." Thomas said and Ansel nodded.
"Yep, taking it slow." He said as he turned back to the wheel while Newt rolled up his window. Thomas leaned back a bit before glancing out his window only to jump when he saw a woman standing outside. "Please." The woman said before trying to open the door that was locked, "Help me." She said.
All of the sudden someone hit Frypan's window making them jump and look over to see a man. He didn't look like most cranks they've seen but, definitely worse than the woman. "Please. Please! Let me in." The woman said, "Okay. Fel, we gotta go." Thomas said before a crank hit Ansel's window making him jump slightly.
"Please! Open the door."
"You need to go right now! Just floor it, Ansel!" Frypan said as more and more cranks started to appear around the car. "Hold on to something!" Ansel yelled before pressing down on the gas as a crank jumped up onto the hood.
"Shit!" Ansel said when the crank punched the window, instantly cracking it. "Come on, Ansel, shake him!" Thomas said as Ansel swerved around cars. "I'm trying to!" Ansel said as he kept swerving around, only making the cranks fall next to his door, still holding on as it punched the window.
"Hang on!" Ansel yelled before swerving over towards a car that had something tall in the back, causing it to hit the crank off the car. "Oh, shit." Frypan muttered as he and Thomas looked out the back before looking back to the front.
"Ansel, watch out!" Thomas yelled right before they hit something, causing the car to tip before flipping upside down and Ansel quickly grabbed Newt's arm. They all groaned as Thomas turned on a light, "Everyone okay?" He asked. "I'm good." Ansel said, but groaned slightly right after, "My hand. My hand." Frypan said as the car turned off, including its lights.
"Ansel, cover your eyes." Thomas said before kicking a window making it break, "Shit, my hand." Frypan said as Thomas started climbing out the broken window. Thomas quickly got up and tried to pull open one of the doors but it wouldn't budge.
Newt managed to get his door open before rolling out as Thomas walked around the car. "Newt, you okay?" Thomas asked as he helped Newt up, "Yeah, I think so." He said. Ansel started to climb out the car through the passenger seat and Neet quickly grabbed his arm and helped him out. "You okay?" Newt asked and Ansel nodded, "Yeah, yeah. Are you?" He asked, looking him over and Newt nodded.
"Fry, you okay?" Ansel asked as he started to climb out the car but before Frypan could say anything there was suddenly a loud scream making them look over to see a crank in the distance. Newt went to reach for his gun, only to find his holster missing, "Oh, shit." He mumbled. "I'm so glad I wear this coat." Ansel said as he pulled a pistol from around his waist, which the coat stopped from falling out.
"Frypan, I think we gotta move. Now!" Thomas said, "Wait a minute!" Frypan said before quickly climbing back into the car. "Right now! Fry, now!" Newt yelled as the crank ran towards them, "Come on, what are you doing? We gotta move! I don't want to waste any bullets if we can just run away!" Ansel said as Frypan tried to get something.
"Hold on!" Frypan yelled, "Frypan gotta go! Come on!" Thomas yelled before Frypan climbed out the car with a gun. He quickly got up, cocking the gun before shooting the crank making it fall to the ground. "Nice shot, Fry." Ansel said as they walked up to him, "Thanks."
There was another loud screeching making them look over to see more cranks coming. "Okay. We gotta go. Go, go!" Thomas said as they started running while Frypan and Ansel both fired a couple shots. "Fry, come on, let's go!" Ansel yelled before Frypan turned around and they all quickly took off running.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Thomas yelled as they skidded to a stop when they saw more cranks in the direction they were going. "Fry, you go any left?" Ansel asked and Frypan nodded, "Yeah!" He said as they both shot a couple cranks from both directions.
After a couple shots, Frypan's gun clicked, "I'm out!" He said. "Shit!" Ansel said as he shot at a couple more cranks, "I'm not gonna have enough for all these guys." Andel said before all of the sudden a truck came down the tunnel, hitting a couple cranks in the process.
"Hey, get in!" Brenda called out as she stood up before shooting at the cranks as the four quickly hopped into the back. "Go!" Brenda yelled as she sat back down, "Hang on!" Jorge yelled before quickly driving through cranks and out the tunnel.
"I'm impressed! You guys almost lasted a whole day." Jorge said, making Ansel laugh sarcastically as he and Thomas helped Newt climb into the back seats. "You okay?" Ansel asked and Newt nodded, "Yeah." He said. Brenda turned around to look at the four of them with an amused look.
"I'm sorry. I didn't wanna bring you guys into this." Thomas said, making Brenda and Jorge glance at each other, "I think what he's trying to say is thanks for saving us." Frypan said as he stuck his head through the back window making Thomas smile while Ansel chuckled.
"You're welcome." Brenda said before turning back around to face the front, "Hey, don't get your hopes up. That checkpoint back there, that was the city's last defense. If that was overrun, chances are the city is, too." Jorge said and Ansel made a noise of disagreement and was about to say something before Newt looked out at the horizon.
"Yeah, unless they figured out some other ways to keep the cranks out." He said making them follow his line of sight before Jorge slammed on the breaks. They all quickly got out before looking out at an untouched city, enclosed by walls.
"Funny... Spent three years trapped behind walls, trying to break out, and now we wanna break back in." Newt said and Frypan nodded. "Yeah. It's hilarious." He said, making Ansel and Newt chuckle while glancing back at him.
"Jorge, how do we get in?" Thomas asked and Jorge shook his head, "Don't look at me, hermano. Those walls are new. I guess that's WICKED's answer for everything." Jorge said and Brenda glanced around. "Well, we ain't gonna figure it out from up here." She said before walking back to the car, "Let's go!" She said and everyone started walking back to the car except for Thomas making Ansdl and Newt walk over to him
"You really think he's in there?" Newt asked as Ansel draped his arm over Newt's shoulders and Thomas glanced at them, "I guess we'll find out." He said and Ansel raised his eyebrows. "You know she's gonna be there, too." Ansel said, making him glance at him before looking back out at the city.
