Liberty Nightmare - A GTA Fan Fiction

Chapter 11: 3 + 1

Chapter 11: 3 + 1.

Dawn breaks on Liberty City. The sun's rays seemed to bring hope to the residents in the zombie infested city. In spite of this, the zombies were unaffected by the sun. Then again, the daylight made it easier to shoot them instead of the dark night.

"Only headshots are effective against them?" Luis asked Yusuf as he parked the car next to the Yusuf's helipad on the West River in Westminster.

"Yup," Yusuf answered. "A bullet in the brain seemed enough to keep these 'things' away from us compared to a bullet in the heart."

Luis, Yusuf and Luis's mother have just arrived at Yusuf's helipad. The helipad, along with a large structure and the helicopter, was located right in the middle of the West River and there were only two parallel bridges that connect the helipad to the mainland. Yusuf planned to get to the airport with his white helicopter, which was the Swift, in order to avoid the zombie infected areas in Broker and Dukes. However, the helicopter was low on fuel and was only able to fly until the airport.

As the three boarded the helicopter with Luis being the pilot of the helicopter as he was trained, a familiar figure approached the helipad. Dressed in a pink suit with white slacks, Luis recognized the man immediately.

"I know you," Luis said as he pointed at the man. "You're that Celebinator guy, aren't you?"'

"It's you again!" The Celebinator (not his real name) said in a faint Irish accent with shock upon noticing Luis.

The Celebinator was a famous blogger in Liberty City. He had been bad-mouthing Tony and Luis's two clubs on his blog and was causing bad publicity to them. To solve the issue, Luis and Tony invited him on a helicopter tour of The Statue of Happiness (similar to the Statue of Liberty) before throwing him off the helicopter. Fortunately for the Celebinator, Luis caught him in mid-air and parachuted safely on the ground. The Celebinator was so frightened and traumatized by the entire episode; he had an 'accident' in his trousers and immediately wrote a puff article for the clubs and owners and a slam article for the Statue of Happiness.

"What are you doing here?" Luis asked the Celebinator, who was visibly shaken as he looked at Luis.

"I...I...I came here to look for a way out," said the Celebinator. "Those fucking zombies have taken over my house in Star Junction (Star Junction was right next to Westminster to the east). I need a way out."

"How about coming on-board?" asked Luis. The Celebinator instantly refused.

"With you? On that? No fucking way! I must be nuts to go through all that again!" The Celebinator said. As soon as he finished, zombies were spotted heading towards the helipad. They were traveling very slowly and moaning softly instead of viciously roaring as the zombies were unaware of the human presence in the area.

"It's either us or them," Luis said as he started up the helicopter. "It's your choice." As the rotor blades began to spin, the whirring of the blades and the droning of the engine became louder and louder. The zombies suddenly roared loudly and ferociously as they were drawn to the noises made by the helicopter and began charging towards the helipad. The Celebinator immediately had second thoughts.

"Ok, ok, ok," he said as he hurriedly boarded the helicopter.

As the helicopter slowly began to rise, the unmistakable beeping of the helicopter's warning systems sounded to indicate the helicopter was flying on an almost empty tank of fuel. However, this was expected.

"Here we go," Luis said as he manned the controls.

Just as the helicopter could get to an altitude of a metre, groups of zombies tried in vain to grab onto the ascending helicopter. Everyone watched with terrified faces as the zombies did this, but were quickly relieved as the helicopter got higher. Luckily, the helicopter had no landing skids, only wheels. One, however, managed to grab onto the helicopter's front landing gear. Luis, Yusuf and the rest were unaware of this as the landing gear was located directly underneath the helicopter and out of sight for anyone on-board.
