"LET'S MOVE!" Arkin shouted while running towards the destroyed barrier, "Don't look back, guys!" Kyle said while trying not to panic. A huge wave of zombies probably more than 50 was heading towards them, the group tried their best to run and not trip over the debris. They dodged walls that were quickly falling down on them, while the dead were the ones being wiped out by the mess. The group ran as fast as they could, while the horde was following close.
"What do we do? We can't outrun them!" panicked Justin.
"We have to fight." replied Arkin,
"But our guns will attract even more of them!"
"At least we can outrun them!"
After gaining a good distance, the group settled down, took out their weapons, and opened fire. Shot after shot, hit after hit, blood splattered against the road, along with body parts shot to pieces beyond recognizability. Bodies flopped down on the floor like leaves falling down from their tree, the group's magazines were all used up after clearing the horde. Kyle's arms were painful and almost hard to move, "noodly arms" he called his condition. Not everyone could shoot a gun unharmed, but they had no time to be comfortable, another horde was coming and their only option to live was to run away as fast as they could.
"Hey, man on radio, earlier you said that we should go to you. What ya mean by that." asked Arkin
"I did? Oh, do you want to come to my place?" replied the man.
"Hey guys, should we go to this guy?" Arkin asked the group while covering the speaker.
"What other choice do we have? Besides, he kinda helped us a bit." Kyle said
"So..."
"Yes, I'm up for it."
The others agreed.
"Hey, we're going to you, where are you though?"
"Oh uh, I'm in a radio station that you might've heard of..."
"What is it?"
"MF 13.95."
"Ah, so you work there?"
"No, this place is abandoned, everyone left."
"I think I see a radio tower."
"I can see you guys through a nearby surveillance camera."
"Okay, we're heading to you now."
Arkin let go of the button pressed to reply.
"Arkin, how about the bombing of our city?!" Justin said scornfully.
"Then we'll just be quick, I guess."
Justin rolled his eyes as he knows it won't be quick.
"Hey guys, after we were all thrown in this mayhem and explosions with zombies, we never even questioned about how this even happened." announced John
"Yeah, I guess we could pass the time talking about it while running." said Kyle.
"I'm guessing it's another failed experiment like any other zombie movie." suggested Arkin
"I think it's mutated rabies like any other movie character." said Justin
"Guys, stop with the cliches." Kyle scolded them.
"It's not our fault that movies already took our ideas." said Arkin in defense.
"Well I think it's a military weapon." said John
"Again, with the cliches!" Kyle shouted in annoyance. 'They're doing it on purpose!' He thought. While Kyle was expecting a conversation among the others, the next few minutes were silent. 'Damn, the zombies caused everyone to be serious now. This is unlike them.' He thought while thinking of a good way to start a fun discussion. As Kyle finally got together a good idea for a conversation, they have arrived at the radio station. It was all covered in blood and had strange holes possibly caused by gun shots. Arkin knocked on the door and they waited for a few moments, it was until they heard locks rattle and drop to the ground. The door opened and there they saw the radio man.
