my survival story... part 6

`Everyone, get ready at your posts!`Shouted Alisteir, various moans in different tones could be heard off by the distance, as the sky began to become gray, and the clouds saturated the sunlight. As everyone awited on their posts,the first drops of rain could be felt, as they fall on the heads of the survivors in the camp.

Minutes later, a massive horde of zombies could be spotted at only 100 yards from the defences. The snipers began scoring headshots at the distant zombies, but suddenly, from within the vast horde, there was movement that stood out from the slow walking undead... another massive horde of zombies that were able to run sprinted through the slow walking ones, and the machine gun nests began their defensive tactics.

Among the chaos of fired bullets, undead moans, and grotesque cries, one could hear growls of different manner, `Aleister, we have incoming beasts!`, I shouted through the radio, `Is it the beast you confronted when Miguel was killed?`` asked Aleister is desperation, `They could be, Im going to order my man to fire`, I answered, then ordered everyone to focus their fire on the nearest targets.

Not long passed when those creatures with overgrown human bodies, four extremities, and spikes on their back showed up, but this time, it wasnt just one, it was a horde of five. They popped up from the sands of the desert, and made their way through the hordes of slow zombies by throwing them away with theyr big swings. ¨Fire at those creatures¨, I ordered my men, and women, who with their m16´s, mounted .50 cals, and m1 garands fought off the infected, and the bizarre deadly creatures. A the fast moving zombies tried to crawl up on the defence fences, my men, desperately, fired at them, not realizing the creatures were coming even faster at them. Two of them slam onto the wall, destroying the MG nests, making the men fall to the cold-wet sand, and the zombies slaughtered them instantly. ¨Everyone! retreat!¨, I shouted, but it was too late, the other three creatures, with an incredible power, jumped over our defenses, and slaughtering everyone nearby them. I went back to try to help my men, but I couldnt save any of them, as one of the creatures stood right in front of me, i pulled up my ak47 to defend myself, and shot the bastard in the chest, he backed up in pain, but the others heard the cry of their commrade, I sprinted away from the monster I had injured, but they were faster. As they came close to me, I got a glance of rocket flying right on top of my head, and headed towards the creatures. The blast threw me off a few meters, as I took my head up, Aleister was right carrying an RPG, I looked back were the monsters were, two of them wer down, but the others were still alive, and angrier, ¨We have high casualties, we have to escape! Get to the jeep!¨Aleister said keeping his cool in the midst of the battle. We ran towards an empty jeep, but hordes of fast zombies were approaching it, and the slow ones had started takinng down the fences, and defense walls, Aleister and I had to find another jeep quickly. We saw the jeep that I rode along with Miguel that day, I still had the keys with me, ¨There, lets get to that one!¨I shouted at Aleister. We ran towards it, the fast zombies sprinted towards us, the slow ones moaned in anger, and the creatures growl with fury. We got into the vehicle, and it started right away. As I ran down numerous zombies, Aleister went through the hole that lead to the MG turret with his RPG, and shot a rocket at a gas tank by the vast horde. As I drove away, an inmense explosion was refelcted through the backview mirror.

So I kept dring through the dark, and stormy night, until we reached the border of Zacatecas, were a devastated, and abandoned milary post was set up. Aleister got out of the jeep as I stopped next to another one, ¨I think this is where we say goodbye kid¨Aleister stretched out his hand at me, and smiled, ¨It was a pleasure fighting alongside a brave youngman like you¨, Aleister picked his things, and hot wired the other jeep. We wave each other goodbye. As I lost him through the backview mirror, I got off the jeep, scanvaged through the abondoned military post, found ammo for my ak47, a few ahnd granades, and some perishable food, which I put in the backseat of the jeep, and got ready to head towards south, towards my home city of Aguascalientes...
