The Virus

Ch.5- Th Standoff

The bullet had went through Conner's right shoulder missing everything. "I'm glad that I don't have to take that bulletin out of you, I'm not a professional", said thankfully. "We should get to higher grounds, there is a ladder here that reaches the roof", said Cassie urgently.

"Why, we're safe right now?"

"Don't you here that horrible noise?"

"No."

I looked at the door and heard what she was talking about. And I saw more than 20 infected people finishing off the man. When they did, they looked at us. And started to limp towards us. "Okay, I think we should go", Conner said trying to stand. I ran over and helped him up the ladder. When we got on the roof we saw the whole parking lot, dozens and dozens were coming over all into the same door. "Wow, should we start picking them off?", asked Conner, with his gun pointed to the nearest zombie. "No, not until last resort" I said while surveying the soon to be battlefield.

Then, all of a sudden a huge thing was yelling and running up the street. "Is that a mother zombie?", I asked Conner. "No, zombies can't run", Conner said with a dry smile on his face. We watched as it got closer. When it did, the skin was decayed unlike the smaller others, it was at least the size of a car, and it was running. It screeched a horrible noise in the air and the other zombies screeched back and started running too. "Well, looks like someone was wrong", I said with a smirk on my face. "But In all the other games......they.....could-d-d'nt ...", he just sat there murmuring like an idiot. "Don't you think we should start killing?", Cassie asked. I looked and was about to answer no, when a zombie started to scale the building over all the other zombies. Conner shot it in the head and that's when the battle started.

I started shooting at the bottom, trying to knock down the ladder type thing, but it only slowed them down and they bleed dark black sludge. "Aim at the head moron", Conner yelled while reloading a clip. I did what he said and they just fell over and had the pyramid collapse, but another screech from the momma zombie and they started to scale again. Some even got over and we had to resort to a hand to hand combat, knocking them down and crushing their skulls. No matter how many times we knocked the pile down, the mother just kept making that noise, making the other zombies more aggressive and faster. I decided to take it down. I shot it in the head one time, two times, three times but still nothing. I borrowed Conner's rifle with the scope and took a look at it while Conner fought off the ones climbing up. I saw that my arrows were not in the skull but in a semi-invisible shield around it. I pondered how to take it out and decided to go check it out myself.
