Undeads are walking

From Cluj to Athene - Part 27

This survivor group has made it into something they did not expect to ever encounter, but yet, they do have encountered on a lot of streets of their road to their safety, a big blockage of cars, trucks and planes which have fallen from the skies. There are zombies all over the roads of this highway, wondering around or standing still and looking at the gray sky, who might announce that rain might come at any time.

Ana is the first survivor to start the shoot, and she did that because a few zombies were close to jumping on her colleague Laura. A full magazine of bullets for a submachine gun has pierced the heads of nine zombies, but there were a few more coming, and the others are pulling the trigger of their ranged weapons. Alin shoots three zombies with his handgun. Radu takes down eight zombies with a submachine gun. And Laura, who managed to dodge the bullets of their survivors who were trying to protect her in the first place.

Laura is hiding on the left side of a damaged car. She sees the teammates of the group shooting the zombies coming in their direction. Then, Alina throws a weapon at Laura, and she successfully catches the weapon, which is a normal handgun, and she uses it to shoot the zombies who are coming at them. She manages to shoot only three of them, but the one shot wasn't killed because the bullets only hit non-vital organs such as legs and arms.

"Shit." says Marcus, seeing a zombie jumping over the car and landing on his head and proceeding to bite his neck. "ARGH!"

"MARCUS!" yelled Radu, shooting the zombie who had just jumped almost 3 feet towards him. He manages to take the beast down, but he looks at Marcus bite, and he sees him crying. Then Radu aims his submachine gun at Marcus and, without looking at him pleading, Mercy, Radu shoots him.

This shot has made everyone from this group feel extremely shocked by the fact that someone from their group has decided to kill someone valuable for them. Even though he was a dude who seemed quite weird from the others, he was still a human. A human who just died right in the middle of chaos.

"Radu!" says Laura, looking shocked at Radu. "What have you done to him?"

"He is bitten on the head!" says Radu to Laura. "We cannot risk it!"

"Guys!" says Alina to them. "I know. I am sad too, but we have to move on, otherwise we will join him. So. RUN!" she proceeds to run ahead, and the other survivors are following her.

"You have got to be shitting me." says Alin, who has a broken leg, but Radu comes and helps him walk faster by carrying him on the back while he uses a handgun to protect him.

The group of survivors proceeds to run, leaving the corpse of Marcus lying on the road, bleeding out at a fast speed. A crawler managed to crawl under cars, and he got closer to Marcus' body, he proceeded to eat the corpse of Marcus, and as soon as he was eating it, his missing legs proceeded to reproduce at a fast speed.

A few moments later, the team made it almost one hundred meters from their cars. Claudia and Ana climb into a van, only to see a few zombie corpses coming at them. They proceed to shoot those things with their submachine guns. Down, Radu is letting Alin stay in a car while he is kicking a zombie's head in the body. Alina saw Radu doing that move on it, and she praised him.

"Nice kick."

"Yeah... Hah... Thanks." says Radu to her, and he quickly takes a metal bar from the car, and he uses it to smash a crawler's head, then he goes back to his brother, to put down another creature who was coming at them.

Laura and Anakin are running ahead, carrying their weapons and shooting at the closest zombies they are encountering. Letting their survivors in the back, they are exposed to some big dangers, especially in a scenario where a lot of zombies can jump over cars, or crawl under them.

"f**k!" says Laura after she shoots the last bullet into a zombie who cannot die.

"YEAH!" says Anakin, who's bashing the creature with his pistol instead of shooting it. He put the creature down, then he bashed that metal thing into the monster's skull, until it stopped moving. "Put... Almost close..."

"Get up!" says Alina, running with the other survivors to Anakin. "We have to move on."

Anakin is looking behind to see that a bunch of zombies are coming after them. He took his pistol and he ran after their friends. While he was running, he observed a zombie who was jumping at him, but the man managed to dodge the flying attack by jumping in front. That creature had hit a car window-shield, and it died there. Anakin didn't have time to analyze how the creature died there because he had to run like his teammates.

Klaus was close to getting bitten by a zombie, but Radu was the one who saved him by shooting the zombie's head with a gun. Radu looks at the thing who shot him, and he observes that it has a lot of burn marks all around his decomposed skin. Even though Klaus thanked him for this gesture, Radu was very worried about the creature he had killed. Then, Ana, after she managed to climb over a truck to see how much they had to go, she sees something truly horrifying at almost thirty feet from them. A fire had just started and burned a lot of zombies who were running around screaming, on corpses who were zombies and decent human beings once, and on some animals who were there for some reason like searching for food, or they got attracted by the meat smell.

"Guys! There is a fire going on there!" says Ana to her colleagues.

"What should we do?" asks Ho Lee to Alina. "Should we try and leave this highway and use the hills to go there?"

"There are zombies there, too!" says Ana, who sees that in the hills a lot more zombie corpses are still looking at the sun, or some zombies who are walking on the highway.

"We have to go straight!" says Alina.

"W-What ?!" says Claudia. "Are you crazy?!"

"Yep. Probably," says Alina, who is taking the lead and proceeded to run ahead while some of her friends are tagging along.

"You must be kidding me," says Alin and Radu at the same time after they saw the fire in front of them, which is almost the entire highway, leaving only a small portion of crawling, but that space wouldn't let both of them go together.

"What are we going to do?" asked Radu to his brother. He looks back and sees a few zombies coming at them.

"Leave me." says Alin, picking up the gun.

"W-What?!" said Radu, who was leaving his brother on his back.

"I-I can follow you," says Alin, sweating. "I-I can shoot and run."

Radu was not even thinking of letting his brother go alone and fight the mutants who were coming after them, so he decided to try and go there by himself first, then he would try to see if his brother would come along. Alin aimed his gun at a few of those things who were coming after him, and he proceeded to shoot them. He managed to kill three or four by hitting their heads, but there were more and way too hard to kill with only a few more ammo little remained in that handgun magazine.

"f**k!" says Alin said, walking at a faster pace to that opening. His teammates and his brother were taking it to ignore the fire wall on the cars, trailers and other heavy things that were blocking their entire way.

Before he was close to going into that gap, a few bullets proceeded to go through the fire. Alin knew that those bullets that were launched from the other side were most likely the ones his teammates were using. He uses this moment to crawl into the small passage as fast as he can for his health.

After a long and exhausting crawl, Alin made it to the other side, and there, Radu is the one who's greeting him, while the other seven survivors are busy taking the zombies from the back and the ones who are standing on their way to getting freedom.
