Chapter 4:8: The Outbreak - A Surprise Rescue

We were still on the move, finding safe places to park in. We were not the only ones who were in the airport. Some “common visitors” were also present; it was just that they used to be professional.

I was talking about the infected airplane crews: the flight attendants, passengers, airport securities, and pilots.

"Welcome to Rushford Airport, a place which used to be restricted to those who bear firearms! Yeah! Suck on that!" Brock exclaimed, while he was looking sideways for any parking slot.

"Furthermore, this place is also dead now. Are there still any flights left for us?" Diane asked.

"There has to be any, because I don’t want to return to hell anymore."

"Face it Brock, we’re now in hell."

"We’re just getting nearer there because we’re the only ones left alive. Hmm, I wish I could still see Ashyra here.”

"Don’t worry Brock. She has to be alive for you."

"Yeah, she has to be. Oh! Not again!"

Suddenly, more hordes of infected were hurrying towards us!

"Don’t stop driving Brock. Just get us to a place somewhere safe!" Diane shouted.

She kept on shooting the infected. Brock made his twisted turns and straights, passing by the mob.

"Hurry Brock, I’m out!" she shouted, as she loaded her last clip.

"Hold on!"

He steered right through a glass wall, and drove through the airport lobby. A hundred of infected crews were on their haste!

"Chief, I’m out! Do you still have a gas tank?!" Diane asked him.

"I still got one, but we have to save this!" he replied.

"Damn! Just hit and run among them Brock!"

He drove past the dead, while he was ignoring them getting smashed and killed by the van. Diane couldn’t shoot them all with just her gun, so she helped by sitting shotgun still and focused.

"This looks like a dead end", Brock said, as he stared at a stationary wall.

"Knock it down", Diane said.

"Everyone hang on! This should be rough!"

He courageously didn’t stop driving straight, until we broke down the wall.

As we broke into the lobby, Brock backed up the van.

"Chief, get out now! Get everything! Diane, get out now and go with Chief. I will cover this hole."

We quickly evacuated the van, as Brock continued to barricade the hole. After that, he joined us along the lobby.

"Did you get everything?" he asked me.

"The last of it, yes", I answered.

"Good. Let’s arm ourselves now. I can feel that my sister is around here somewhere."

We assembled all the guns that we had and continued to walk inside the airport.

"Finally guys, we made it here!" Brock exclaimed, as he stretched his arms in the air.

"Don’t get your hopes up. We still have to find them first before we proceed to evacuation", Chief said.

We passed by numerous baggage. The sign boards said that the flights were cancelled and some were delayed. There were litters everywhere, but still, no sign of anyone.
