Outbreak - Special Edition.

Outbreak - Chapter Eight: Pt 1 - Desperate Measures.

I wake up on the sofa up on the roof I fell asleep on the next morning, the cold morning air freezing my hands and face, the sun hasn't risen above the horizon yet and it'll be a while before it warms up out here.

I look over the side of the building at the infected below, "it was a freezing night how on earth are those things still shifting around like that?" I thought to myself, i snapped back to reality and realized I had no way off of this roof unless I plunge five stories down into a horde of brainless rabid flesh eating monsters, there's an advertisement bill board that connects the two buildings on this street, but it was hit by that crashed crane down the street it seems, it already creaking under it's own weight from the damage, I doubt it could hold me but... It beats going down there and getting my face chewed off

I let out a sigh to try and calm my nerves and I place one foot on the weak frame of the board, testing it to see if it could hold my weight, I hear a noise behind me and I see an ungodly abomination climbing the building, all I could see was it's giant arm before I started to make my way across the frame work of the board not looking back at the thing behind me, I loose my footing and slip and I grab the frame work to stop myself falling onto the road below, adrenaline and fear are rushing through my veins as I'm hanging on for dear life, the creature makes its way over to the weak frame I'm hanging from, I starts to crawl into it and I can feel the frame giving way.

The creature is unlike anything I've ever seen, it climbs onto the frame and the entire structure begins to buckle, I let one arm go of the frame that is quickly breaking and I grab my gun from my pants and unload my entire clip into this thing, the creature falls from the frame as it breaks in half in the process, I'm slammed against the building opposite to the one I was on before, I get my head in the game and climb up the frame before it collapses and I'm down there was that thing and rest of those fuckers.

I reach the roof of the other building and take a look down at what the fuck just happened and I discover that the creature is still alive and sees me and I can see infected running from multiple streets to my position, I reload my gun and tuck it back into my pants and I try to look for a way off of the roof, I see something that might distract them few blocks away, a parked fuel tanker, I line up my shot and fire at the tanker but to no avail.

I need to get closer and in a fucking hurry!, I take a running start and leap off of the roof and onto the next building, barely clinging on I look for a way I can get to the roof, I shuffle over to a spouting but the infected are right below me now and I need shooting that tanker would be pointless if I let these runners get on the roof with me.

I pull out my gun and shoot some of the running infected that are climbing after me, but the gun shots drew more attention and now even more runners are on their way to my position, and I can see that daddy long arms has caught up with me. Not knowing what else to do I continue to climb to the roof but as I look up I can see infected reaching over the railing trying to grab me, "Oh shit.." I'm up shits creek now and I can't get out of this... I close my eyes and hold my gun to my head and get ready to pull the trigger to I won't have to suffer when all of a sudden I hear machine gun fire and lots of it.

The infected ditch me and run after the military convoy that stopped at the end of the street, they gunned down a lot of the infected but they were soon being overrun, I know they stopped to save me... I had to get over and help them... So I climbed along the buildings windows and hopped down onto a crashed car and ran towards the military but the infected were not dead yet and the military would soon be if I didn't do something.

I remember the tanker a few blocks up the road, and as I run towards it idiscover my shots actually did damage the tanker and a few of the bullet holes were now leaking fuel, this gave me an idea, I went around to the back of the tanker and put some more holes in it so the fuel trail would follow me as I drive it into the infected back down the street.

I open the door and a decaying trucker reaches out to me and tries to bite me, I put a bullet in him and pull his carcass out of the truck and hop in as the truck still looked like it was able to drive.

I go to start it when I realized the weak part of my plan, there's no goddamn keys! I hit the steering wheel in frustration, I look out the window and realized maybe the trucker had the keys on him still, after all they always have the keys! at least that's what I learned from movies and comics before I ended up in hell, I get out of the truck and search his pockets and thankfully I found the keys to the truck, "Thank the fucking lord!" I shouted as I went into the truck, I tern the keys and it actually starts, I let out a scared yet joyful laugh and I turn the wheel hard and put it in gear but before I punch the accelerator, I shoot the gasoline that's on the ground and it quickly ignites and quickly heading towards the tanker, I punch the accelerator while honking the horn to warn the soldiers I'm coming in hot.

I soon plow through the infected and hit a daddy long arms, adding it to the tenderised meat under my wheels, I stop the truck in the mist of the infected attack and crawl out onto the roof of the trucks cabin and I leap over the infected and into the arms of a military man waiting on the roof of his truck for me, he grabs me and I tell him to tell his men to get down, he looks at me strangely and I shout "Hurry!!! That tankers gonna blow!!!" his eyes widen and he repeats what I told him loudly to the others, and they all duck and cover as the flames reach the tanker.

Soon a massive explosion occurs, so loud it makes me go deaf for a brief moment, I open my eyes and peak over the truck to see crowds of burning infected, the soldiers finishing off the last few infected in the area, their commander gives the order for the soldier that caught me to take me into back of his truck to take me to quarantine?
