chapter 55

Alan was in the infirmary where all the food was, he had been running at full speed through the corridors.

He knew something was about to happen, so he rushed to get everything he needed, along with the things he needed, Alan also brought a few more things to surprise the zombie queen.

Alan had found another use for the flour and planned to put it together with the exploding grenade, to see if the explosion could be more powerful.

Flour dust in the air in small particles at high heat can generate a dust explosion, Alan hoped that by throwing two grenades he could generate strong heat so that the whole dining room would explode.

While the explosion could cause everything to collapse, Alan had remembered that everything was reinforced, the only places that were not reinforced were some unimportant rooms, as it did not represent any change or inconvenience in the survival game.

"I'm going to finish you off you little zombie queen bitch" Alan said, as he started running towards the main dining room.

Alan's hatred had already exploded as he remembered why Richard died, all because of the zombie queen they had to defeat for the key.

"If only the zombie queen hadn't existed, we wouldn't have had to go get the guns to kill her"(Alan).

THE pain and regret grew in Alan when he remembered that Richard, had died for nothing, the weapons they recovered, in the end, were not used by him, as better weapons were found later.

+++++

"Let the hunt begin for real "Paul whispered in a signal, for Madison and Chris to begin positioning themselves for it to happen, the start of the zombie queen's house.

Chris was to attack the zombie queen from a distance, after all, he was in charge of shooting the sprinklers, which in the end turned out to be a better idea than spreading fire in the dining room to set off the sprinklers.

At a slow pace, Madison, who was behind Paul, raised his gun, while trying to cover Paul, who was the one who was going to cover Paul.

The zombie count was still a lot, with about 30 of them that while normal to the eye, could be anything, even lickers.

Paul had some grenades from Chris, he planned to have the zombies come to him after the queen sends everyone to take care of all of them.

"Watch out Paul!"Madison's shout alerted Paul, who barely managed to dodge a zombie that jumped out at him.

"! Licker!"Paul shouted, as he started to get as far away as he could from the zombie he had already marked as a licker, the good side of the seeming licker was apparently not with the zombie queen, as it was attacking instinct.

Apparently, the zombies that went with the zombie queen were smarter because the zombie queen gave them orders in a kind of hive mind, in which they were all connected to her.

But even so, the zombie that was apparently a licker, even if it was not smarter, was a very powerful enemy, since the only way to kill it was with several shotgun blasts to the head or body.

The shotgun was not available, so the only one who could take out the licker was Chris who was the one with the assault rifle, which was the strongest weapon they had.

"Don't worry I'll take care of it! " Chris said as he tried to get the attention of the licker who upon hearing him didn't wait and went running at him.

"Apparently even if they do have eyes, the lickers that were turned by the zombie queen, they still can't see "Said Paul as he looked at the licker who couldn't see even if in his normal zombie form he had eyes.

"Careful Chris, apparently the licker can get its claws out when it wants to "Paul warned Chris, who was the one struggling with the licker.

Paul had recently almost been pierced by the licker's claws, he had felt the licker's claws go past grazing his skin.

The fact that the zombies transformed did not seem to take away their abilities, which made them much more dangerous.

Gunshots rang out in the dining room as Chris began to wrestle with the licker, the licker's speed was dangerous, but the fact that they were in an open place took a few points off in danger levels.

But even so, the moments when Chris was on the verge of death were not few.

"You piece of shit, that I end up with many of my comrades, I'm going to take revenge on them! "Said Chris, as he began to fire the last bullets from the magazine that was in his rifle.

The bullets hit the licker's torso, as Chris rolled on the ground avoiding a leap from the licker who wanted to knock him to the ground.

"That was close "Chris said to himself in an attempt to calm his heart that kept jumping from the scare to death.

The licker had apparently changed its tactics, it was like a hunting animal that was preying on its instincts.

With a shout from the licker that confused Chris, two more normal zombies had apparently appeared, who had nothing in particular that made them stand out from any zombie.

But Chris was not fooled, the speed of those two zombies was equal to the licker-in front of him, which meant that there was not just one licker in the zombie queen's group, but three or more.

Shit!

Chris complained as he watched the difficulty level become much more difficult.

I'll help you! shouted Madison in an attempt to help Chris who was in a lot of trouble.

"Don't worry...go help Paul, he is the one with the most important task, they must finish off the zombie queen, at all costs...at least if I die trying I hope they finish off that zombie queen to avenge my fallen comrades "Chris said as he ran off with the lickers, who were running faster than Chris.

Chris's strategy was not to run and escape from the lickers, he wanted to lure them into an enclosed area where he planned to drop some grenades to stun them and then be able to shoot them in their heads, to finish quickly.

"How had those two of Alan and Richard so easily finished off a licker?" wondered Paul, who for brief moments had watched Chris's fight with the licker.

Chris was running with all his might, as the licker's claws seemed to get louder each time he ran deeper into the corridors.

Chris wanted those lickers to be distracted by the cannibals, he wasn't spiteful if someone did something bad to him.

But those beings who had given up their humanity had touched their breaking point and had finished off their comrades and that Chris did not intend to forgive them.

Haci thought that at least before dying the cannibals would at least do something better than dying without any action to know.
