"What the fuck's that...."
"Shhhh" I cut Austin off as I heard another loud bang. Seems someone or something is trying to break itself loose from the building.
"You have your gun with you?" I asked him and he nodded. I went behind the truck and got my shotgun from it. I handed my beretta over to Clara and reloaded my shotgun with shells. I gave her extra mags and filled my khaki pockets with shells for the shot gun.
It's sunset already and darkness seems to be taking control gradually as the bangs increase.
"What if they're survivors?" Austin asked as he reloads his Kimber Custom TLE II (EM) 1911 pistol magazine with bullets. He slipped out the mag already attached to the gun to see if there's enough bullet and jammed it back in satisfaction.
"We wait and see" I replied as we hide behind the truck waiting patiently for what's coming out of the building. Althou

I woke up with my head aching badly, my vision was blurry and I couldn't see my environment clearly, but I know I'm in a strange place.I shut my eyes tightly and shook my head to clear my eyes, that was when I felt the sharp pain at the back of my head. I raised my hand to touch my head, that was when I realized i was tied to a chair, what the hell!.I looked at my hands and saw that it was tied down with a belt that was connected to the chair. I looked at my surroundings and realized I was in a strange environment. I tried to break loose from the chair but all my effort was useless as the belt really held me down.The room is a very spacious one with nothing but a single chair which i was tied to, It has an electric bulb right above my head with a table that has different equipment displayed openly on it.What the fuck happened? I thought."Where the fuck am i?" I shouted at the top of my voice, but there's no reply. I tri

I woke up on the bed the next day, this time around I wasn’t chained as I expected. Four armed men were on guard observing my movements closely. I smiled at the thought that my wish has been granted by Faceless or whatever he called himself.One of the guards said something into his telecom and almost immediately two guards came in and walked straight to my bed.“We would need you to stretch your hands forward” one of them said bringing out a handcuff.“Seriously?” I asked in surprise. “ Am I still a prisoner here?” I asked, but the guard just cuffed my hands and led me out of the room to a hallway.We kept taking different turns and this kept me wondering how big this building is. We took a right turn and one of the guards opened the door and shoved me forward.I was marveled at what I saw, different scientists were busy working on different computers and projects. I saw some glass tubes lined up in

We moved stealthily towards the barbed wires with Smith at the rare end. I signaled to Austin and he handed me a plier which I used to cut the barbed wires in such a way that it would be easy for us to fit in, while the rest watch our backs.“Dave are you in position?” I said into my telecom“Positive”“Okay, we’re moving in”“copy that” he replied and we moved stealthily in a single file.A car was parked with it's door opened close to the nearest building to us, with the driver snoring heavily. I signaled for them to hold while I sneaked up to the driver. I crept behind him with my dagger in hand, I covered his mouth and nose and slit his throat with the dagger, he slumped on the chair and I returned my dagger back in it's sheath.We moved close to the building with the others bendi

"Shit" I cursed as we ran outside the building through the back exit, I changed the magazine of my F2000 as the deafening sounds of gunshots continues, it looks more like a warzone. "You need to be fast soldier, that place will be swarming with zeds in the next five minutes" Dave said. I never thought of that, damnit! I searched around us for the targets for a few seconds before eventually seeing them running towards a parked truck close to the main entrance. The door to the building opposite opened with men coming out gun blazing as we ducked towards different directions. I hid behind a truck as I returned fire. I saw Austin behind a barrel filled with concrete while shooting his SCAR rifle, Lorenzo took cover behind a pillar as the men continued shooting at us, pining us down in the process. I took a quick glance at the two men as they got into the truck with their bodyguards. "They're getting away" Dave said through the telecom

We kept shooting the infected as they staggered towards us in their numbers. Smith and I held the frontline while Austin backed us up with Lorenzo shooting from his Ar-15. "I'm out" Smith said swapping his rifle with a Colt pistol from his holster. "Ar-15 mag." I called at Austin and he threw a full magazine over the defensive wall we built. I passed the magazine to Smith and continued shooting at the infected while Smith reloads his gun. The infected are dangerously close by now are trying their possible best to break through the obstacles dividing us with their weight. We took calculated steps backwards as the weight on the pallets and boxes increased while shooting at the same time. "They're gonn' break in" Smith said at the top of his voice trying to be heard amidst the deafening sounds of gunshots. The infec

"Richard" I felt a hand shaking me as I opened my eyes weakly to see the figure before me. Major Mark." How do you feel now? " he asked almost immediately I opened my eyes." I feel better" I said grunting as I tried to sit up on the small bed.My body aches all over due to the stress we went through, the previous night. My left lap hurts badly and I took a glance at it. I noticed it was covered with Band-Aids and and wondered where the wound came from.I couldn't remember anything that led to such injury during our mission yesterday. Well, shit happens during a fight, I shrugged it off with this thought.Major Mark looked at me with a weird smile on his face and I shot him an angry look." Where the fuck were you guys yesterday?" I asked as I now remember all that happened."Doing what I was supposed to do" he replied"Like

" What the fuck do you mean by it was a test?" i asked in anger, this wasn't what I expected from Faceless, I thought he would just release the twins.I've not seen Clara ever since we were brought here, except for the time Faceless showed her to me on the screen." Well, we need to test your abilities and skills before sending you to the main deal" Anonymous replied" Oh well great, says those that call themselves god" I said coldly." Did you give Clara the dose you said you were gonna give her?" I asked" Yeah, I did and she's doing fine" he replied." And I would advice you to be calm and listen to what we have to say" he added " Your friends are at our mercy, so it would be best for you to stop acting tough" Anonymous said with a tone of seriousness." How am I sure about this? you gave orders for us to be abandoned and left to die in action, how do you expect me to trust you on this again?" " Like i said the other ti

Major Mark and two other armed guards escorted me back to the room where I slept the other day. We took another way back to the room, that was when I realized how big this place is.I knew immediately that Major Mark took me past another route, he knew I would know how to find my way back there another day."You have thirty minutes to settle down, I need to show you around the Armory." Major Mark said immediately we got to my room."Noted" I replied not even turning to face him as I remove my boots.I heard the door close behind me before turning around. I brought out a piece of paper and a pen, using it to make a rough map of the building. I've been making rough sketches like this ever since I came here, and the map is now making sense.I don't trust Faceless. So, I have a plan B in case things turn shitty. I've disconnected the security camera ever since I came into this place, so it's difficult for them to monitor me.I already told F
