Me Vs Zombies [Book 1 & 2]

[Book 2] Chapter 14

Video to the side is the song mentioned in this chapter (One of them actually, Nobby) and the picture... Well, I saw it... and I laughed. (Does that make me a bad person? Or a bad arse person?)

[Payton's POV]

 'Oh shit.' I gulped.

'Can we turn around and head back?' Ben whimpered as I slowed the car to a stop, 700 metres from the car pile up and walker crowd.

'We could, that would be safer, but we only have a half tank of petrol left and I don't know how we would go round, I haven't seen an intersection since the first mile we drove.'

'Well we can't go throw it...' He growled. 'Going around is the safest way.'

'We're almost home too.' I sighed as I placed the car in reverse. 'God damn it.'

I drove backwards and turned the car around before going forward and driving back the way we came, I placed my foot hard on the gas in irritation before I frowned. 'We can't. The intersection we saw only went west, the host is east from there... We're stuck here Ben, we could drive through the forest but-'

'A car can't drive through trees on harmed, Payton.' He growled as I stopped the car again.

'What should we do then? Drive all the way to the car pile, climb out and over in a few seconds flat. Though, I have no doubt that there will be walkers on the other side as well.'

'Could we do it?'

'No.' I grumbled. 'All the weapons are in the boot, we couldn't get out, grab them and run.'

'Well, I'll get them, that might bring all the walkers over here as well so then we can run, and have a few extra seconds.'

'You're right.' I smiled. 'Alright... I'll run for-'

'No, you're the driver.' He smirked. 'I'll get them, you beep the horn when I shut the boot and run back around then we wait until the walkers get close and drive straight through them.'

'Alright.' I smiled. 'Hurry.'

Ben nodded and took a breath and opened his door, pulling his gun from its pocket and flicking off the safety, he ran out and around, the boot opened a few seconds and I heard scuffling before the boot shut and Ben ran back around with three big bags in his hands.

He aimed his gun and fired at a walker who had saw us from about 10 metres in front, the sound attracted the attention of the crowd and they all turned to face us as Ben got in and slammed his door.

I smiled as I rolled the car backwards a little bit, beeping the car like a mad man till we were about 15 metres from our orignal parked spot where I just sat and hit my hand against the horn, I actually hit the eastenders theme tune which amused me slightly as about 30-40 walkers ran at us, some faster than others which worried me slightly.

'Ready...'

The walkers closed to about 500 metres.

A few minutes passed.

'Steady.'

300 metres.

I gulped and grabbed a bag of Ben, slinging it on my shoulder as I took a breath.

100 metres.

...

50...

20...

'GO!' Ben screamed as I pressed my foot hard on the peddle, the car shot forward like a bullet, passing and crashing into the walkers in seconds, several went over and we must have passed about 3/4 of the group before we stopped and jumped out, I pulled my gun from my pocket.
