We ran to the trucks, runnung as fast as we could. We were no match for the speed the zombies were runing at.
"What the hell? They learned how to run with olympic athlet speed?" I said in shock. "Fuck, we can't beat them they're too fast, get in the trucks and just drive! GO"
Runing towards the trucks as fast as possible I pressed the remote start button on my keys and the truck started, we jumped in our trucks and floored it going down the bumby grassy overgrown trail. I looked in the mirror and Tyler's truck was right behind us as we flew down the trail.
"What the fuck are these things?" Tyler asked across the radio
"You know the Zombieland movies, how in the second one the zombies were called T-800's? These guys are starting to seem like those" I shouted quickly.
Heather was in the passenger seat, holding my hand, obviously scared.
"It'll be ok. We'll get out of here alive." I reasurred her as we continued down the trail. "I just need you to look at the map and tell me how to get out of here."
She grabbed the map and looked at it. "At the end of the trail we need to take a left."
The road was approaching fast but we had no time to slow down. We were going 30 on a trail we would normally do 5 on and the zombies were keeping up. I yanked the E brake and drifted the truck onto the road, I looked back and saw Tyler's truck come out onto the road sideways just like we did.
"Now we take a right at this intersection that coming up and go down the main road. That will take us to a 4 way intersection where we continue strait." Heather continued on. "That will take us to that dirt road you marked and the dirt road comes out by the exit we took on the highway to get here."
"Ok. Thanks." I replied. I pic up the mic "Just follow us. We looked at the map and planned our route."
"Copy." Tyler's voice came across full of static and just barely audible.
We were driving at 50 now and the zombies were just beginning to fall behind. "Holy fuck. Super zombies? We have no plan for that." I said
Tiffany's voice came across the radio, "I was reading the plan last night and there's nothing in there for what to do in the event of super human zombies. What do we do?"
"Im going to think of something. We just need to find a safe spot to..." I paused for a moment
"Dylan? Dylan, come in." Tiffany said
"What the hell is that? OH FUCK." I shouted as I yanked the steering wheel to the left and swerved around a massive mountain in the middle of the road.
"What is hell is wha-...... What the hell is that?" Tyler's voice coming through the radio now.
I looked back in the mirror and the mountain we passed was moving, it stood up on 4 legs.
"FLOOR IT!" I shouted into the radio. "ITS A MASSIVE 4 LEGGED ZOMBIE THING."
We were speeding up when the creature started chasing us. 60 miles an hour and it was catching up.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck. We'll get through this... FUCK." I comforted Heather
I kept speeding up, now doing 75 and flew through the intersection we marked on the map. We were approaching the turn to get onto the dirt road fast, and I pulled the E brake again and drifted it onto the dirt road, Tyler's truck soon followed.
I spoke into the mic. "I got an idea. It'll be hard to pull off but its our best shot. We're finally pulling away from it so we need to get a little farther ahead and then we lock up the brakes, just push the pedal to the floor." I contiued on." It's fast and will catch up very quick. When its right behind us. go in reverse, buck under it and we get behind it."
How is getting behind it going to help us?" Tiffany asked
"I have one grenade left, we have one chance to toss the grenade behind it, it'll turn around and if we do it right. The grenade will go off under it." I stated
"Lets do it." Tyler's voice now coming across the radio.
We continued down the road for a little while longer until we were approaching to the intersection by the exit.
"NOW!" I shouted as we slammed the braks and the trucks came to a screaching stop. The creature flew past us as I pulled the pin out of the grenade, and I threw it out the window. The grenade landed about 20 feet away from the creature as it turned around
"FIVE." I began counting down how much time we have until the grenade blows.
It was staring at us snarling, and getting readyto charge at us.
"FOUR." I continued counting down
The creature dragged it's front foot back like a horse getting ready to run
"THREE." The creature began walking towards us
"TWO. NOW GO IN REVERSE TO LURE IT TO THE GRENADE!"
We put our trucks in reverse and began backing up as it kept coming towards us
"ONE." The creature was now right above the grenade.
BOOM. The grenade went off and the creature was lifted off the grounf from the force of the explosion. It came crashing back down to the ground and wasn't moving.
"I think we got rid of it. Fuck yeah." Tyler said through the radio.
Hell yeah, I told you I'd think of something." I replied "We need to find a safe haven soon and revise the plan to deal with whatever the fuck these things are."
"Yeah, lets get back on the highway and continue on, we're bound to find somewhere eventually." Tiffany said
"Hang on guys, I'm looking at the map and according to the map we're about 30 miles away from Appling, Georgia. It looks like a very tiny town thats mostly woods." Heather chipped in. "We just have to get on the highway and go north for 30 miles and that'll take us right to it."
"Alright so lets get there and find a place to work." I said as I shifted the truck into 1st gear.
We started driving and cut through the feild in front of us onto the highway ramp, and we were back on the road.
