     Nobody's POV:

They drive for around 30 minutes going to base.

    "Open the gate,"  Zach says to the gate guard.

     The gate opens up and they drive through.

    "Welcome to the new base, Jack. We found an old building and we thought it'll be perfect for a new base. It's an old factory so it has a lot of security features."

     Zach parks the car and they both get out. They walk inside the center of the base and Jack walks into med bay to get some supplies to patch himself up. Jack flicks the light on and gets jumpscared by his sister.

    "Brother, where were you?!" Alexis says, sitting on the chair that is in the med room in front of him.

    "Oh geez– you scared me..." Jack says, backing up for a second.

    "Where. Were. You?" She says, staring at him a bit coldly.

    "I was fighting some zombies, no biggie, I'm fine," he says, grabbing some bandages.

    "No biggie?! I was worried sick! You have blood and wounds all over you...are you ok?!?!" She stand up.

    "Let me patch myself up and I'll be fine."

     Alexis sighs. "Fine...did the thing happen again though...?"

    "Yes but not as bad. This time it helped me."

    "It's dangerous, you shouldn't be using it."

    "I'm sorry, I—" he gets cut off.

    "ATTENTION, ATTENTION. THIS IS NOT A DRILL! I REPEAT,  THIS IS NOT A DRILL! PEOPLE HAVE BROKEN INTO TO BASE AND BROUGHT A HOARD OF ARMORED AND MODIFIED ZOMBIES," someone says through the loudspeakers.

    "What's a modified zombie?" Jack asks his sister with a bit of confusion in his voice.

    "It's a zombie that's modified to be stronger, faster, and actually has some intelligence..."

     Jack's eyes widen in shock and a bit of fear. That's not good...even a few zombies are hard for me to kill just by myself using my axe. Takes a lot of energy for me to even swing it. I guess I'll use a gun or knife for a while...

     Jack and his sister run outside to see a giant hoard of zombies running to the base, fast.

    "HEY! SHOOT AS MANY ZOMBIES AS YOU CAN, AND THE GATE DEFENSES UP. ALL OF THEM!" Alexis tells the gate guards.

     Who are these people and why did they bring these zombies to our base? Shouldn't we all be in this together, killing these zombies and surviving? This doesn't seem right...Where's my axe? Ah fuck, it's back at med bay. This isn't good. If I don't have my axe, I'm screwed. I guess I'm doing this just with my knife and gun. I can barely use one of these-

    "Zach, come with me," Alexis says to Zach.

     Zach follows Alexis and they have a conversation.

     What are they saying? I can't hear them...did she just... Jack has a bit of anger in his eyes as he thinks to himself.

     Alexis leans in for a kiss on the cheek for Zach, And she runs inside.

     Oh I know she did not just do that. Ugh...whatever I need to focus on finding my axe.
