How To Start A Massacre
Nobody spoke for a few seconds until another crack was heard and everyone turned towards the wall, the zombies were now visible but they weren't throwing themselves at the wall to try and get in. Only the front few zombies were trying, the rest just stood there...waiting.
"Ummm ok that's definitely new, I agree we need to do this now but who's going to go. We cant take all the guards because if a zombie gets in here its gonna be a massacre. We also need a strategy, just go in and start killing isn't good enough. If that's our plan then none of us are going to come back alive." This time it was Jack who said this, before looking around at all the people who had gathered around them. He then walked around the vault looking at all the supplies they had.
"Ok I think I have a plan but most of you are going to hate it, so just hear me out for now. We still have the wall that Daniel built right? It should be around here somewhere, if we grab some of the extra pallets that the food is stacked on and break them. As long as we can find a drill, which I remember seeing somewhere. We can upgrade Daniel's wall to also be a battering ram to push through the zombies. Most of the guards will follow behind us and using the wall as a shield, will start killing the zombies. The only problem is that we would need to make Daniel's wall smaller, because the hope was made before he finished building it the hole is too small. So after we kill all the nearby zombies we cant place it to block them again. But that's our only hope of stopping them from coming in, even if it doesn't last for long."
Everyone went silent for a few moments thinking about what Jack had just proposed.
"And who do you think is going to push the wall? Thats basically suicide! There must be thousands of zombies out there, as soon as one breaks through they're dead!" someone cried out.
"Yeah we aren't going to kill ourselves so that people we don't even know can escape!" another shouts.
"Why should we give up our lives just so th..."
"WILL YOU ALL SHUT UP! All that you have done this entire time is whine whine whine! Who's been risking their lives this entire time while you have been sitting here. Who came up with the plan to save you. Who again has come up with this plan. You? No. It was us, so as usual one of us is going to push the wall and trust me, they ain't dying." William bellows at them.
"Now if you would like to actually do something for once we need a cordless drill and someone who knows how to use it, cause I'm not staying with you people for another hour. When you find the drill, go drill a hole in the back wall so we can leave, make it roughly the same size as this one but don't fully open it before we get back."
"Drilling through the back wall won't work, that side of the vault is underground. You would just dig into soil." It was the guard who led Jack to the vault that spoke up this time.
"...Ok well just get all the stuff I asked for and then we will see what to do when I come back I guess."
After this William went to grab the rest of the pallets and the guards started to modify Daniel's wall to make it smaller. Some people in the crowd were grumbling but were quickly silenced by everyone else. A few people went to look for the drill while a few went to check out the other walls. The rest just went back and sat in small groups and started to talk about what might happen, some people had already decided that they would die while others were hopeful that the plan would work...
After 30 minutes they had changed the wall into a battering ram, by this point the zombies had broken through more of the wall and were able to reach into the vault. The only question was who was going to use the ram, whoever did had the highest chance of dying everyone knew that. Most people thought that William would do it, because he had taken charge every other time. However when they were getting ready to head out and William went to lift the ram he found that he couldn't move fast enough to pierce to zombies, seeing this Jack went over and lightly pushed him so that instead of having two wooden poles on his shoulders he only had one. Jack went and lifted the other pole.
"Can't let you have all the fun now can I, and by the looks of things those supposed muscles of yours are just for show." As he says this William stops lifting the ram and let's Jack bare all the weight. He immediately face plants under the weight.
"Ugh Ok ok I get it, maybe your as strong as you look, now would you help get this thing off of me before I break my back. At this rate Daniel is going to have to help you, or one of the guards."
William lifts the ram off Jack before setting it back on the ground, he then turns towards the back of the vault.
"HEY Daniel Get Your Skinny Ass Over Here And Help Us Lift Your Ram Before We Make You Lift It By Yourself!"
After a few seconds Daniel appeared through the crowd and quickly walked over to them. He looked at the ram for a few seconds and then at Jack on the ground and then back at William.
"Yeah I'm going to have to turn you down on that, it looks quite heavy and I would prefer to keep my life instead of dying while holding that thing. So I'm going to sit out of this one."
"Oh that must be my fault, I wasn't asking you to help I was telling you to help us. But if you don't want our help I'm sure you can lift it by yourself. Right Jack?"
At this Jack just shrugged his shoulders and watched to see what Daniel would do.
"Ok Ok I'll help, but only if I'm in the middle of you 2, at least I'll have a slightly better chance of surviving this stupid plan of yours."
"Good now that we have the three needed people we should start soon or our uninvited guests will invite themselves again. You all know the plan so let's get going, Daniel you go inbetween me and Jack."
The three got into position and lifted the ram, the guards assembled behind them with their guns drawn. William put one hand up and counted down from five before the three of them charged at the wall...
They broke through with a shower of splinters flying around them, as soon as they broke through they hit the first wall of zombies but bulldozed right through them without losing much speed, they went through another 2 layers of zombies, by this point the ram was covered in blood and mangled bits of limbs. They managed to get through 3 more layers of zombies before stopping, the guards were behind them and as soon as the ram stopped they started to shoot at any remaining zombies quickly killing them. They managed to clear about 150 zombies before the rest noticed them and charged towards them, with where William made the hole they only had zombies attacking from one side so the three quickly set the ram on its side which helped block the incoming zombies. William grabbed his trusty axe while Jack and Daniel grabbed their guns, when everyone saw that William had decided to use an axe they were confused, Jack was the first to realise what he was doing and quickly went back to shooting the zombies. The others quickly followed and started killing again, however William just stands there watching everything...
After a few seconds of just watching he finds what he was looking for, the 2 super zombies that he had thought he killed, they were standing on boxes and seemed to be almost leading the rest of the zombies as when they grunted the zombies stopped for a few seconds before doing something different.
"Hey Jack, make sure nothing goes wrong while I'm away, if you die before I get back then you have no right to live."
"Wait a minute where are you going? Theres nowhere to go except back into the vault unless..."
"I'm going to go kill some bastards who should already be dead, twice! If you have a problem with that then take it up with them."
