“AW SHIT!” Taylor screamed, his position was announced. He flipped the selector switch on his rifle to “full” and took cover behind a large oak tree. Two Zombies came running towards him blindly, each was dispatched with a two round burst to the head. Then another came up from the left, and he too met the same fate. This one was quickly followed by another, this one a female. She got the same treatment. The faint rumble of helicopters filled the air. Two more came from the right, and one from the left. Shooting as if he was on the range, Jed quickly moved from each target to the next, firing controlled two round bursts. A large gaggle came from the right, and Jed poured in the fire, dropping a handful of them. He went to reload. A powerful hand knocked him to the ground. His carbine lost in his fall, Jed quickly made the transition to his pistol, only it wasn’t there. Commando rolling away from the threat, and pulled his Glock 27 from his ankle holster and put two into the offending Zombie’s head. Another Zombie grabbed him from the back and Jed deftly flipped him over his shoulder and shot him once right between the eyes. Another Zombie came from the left, and got one to the head. Jed tried to move back to his rifle, but was tripped by one the Zombies he had merely wounded in his spray of fire. As he fell, he lost his pistol. Pulling out his Swiss Army Knife, Taylor buried it in the Zombie’s left eye and twisted it. One of the others on the ground put a hand across his throat and pulled Jed closer to him. Jed reached out against him but was overwhelmed by the Zombies sheer brute strength. Taylor began to make a low gurgling sound. A single rifle shot cracked across the parking lot. A ballistic tip .300 WSM round fired from a Remington 700 neatly destroyed the Zombie’s head. The single shot came from Master Sergeant Green, who was perched across the hood of Taylor’s truck with the bi-pod of his rifle planted on the roof of the cab.
“SARGE, I know it’s old, but watch the paint!” Taylor yelled, as he stood and retrieved his pistol. He then went about methodically putting one round into each of the wounded Zombies and picked up his rifle.
