With human numbers
dwindling at Utah State University, zombies are running out of people to feed
on.
And that has left both
sides desperate.
To settle the conflict,
leaders have agreed to a last stand to settle the conflict.
Humans were to meet on the Quad at 9 p.m. Thursday night, where they would either fight off the zombie horde or die.
“All we can do is hope the remaining humans show up tonight ready to fight,” said Rebecca Nielson, a captain for the human forces. “If they make it through it has been arranged that they will be transported to safety by helicopter.”
Those who remain have been
training for this moment all week.
Kelvin Bloxham, a human soldier, attributed his survival to the training he has received.
On Monday the humans were taught how to deal with groups of zombies rushing at them.
“It was a chance for the humans to get together to learn how to use their weapons,” Nielson said. “We also discussed different ways to repel zombies.”
For Tuesday’s training exercise the captains put together a “zombie safari.” They learned how to combat against zombified animals such as elephants, monkeys, gazelles and crabs.
“My group tried to do a turtle formation, where we surrounded our bombers, which worked until the bombers failed and we got trampled by the elephants,” Bloxham said. “We learned that everyone has to be on the same page or our tactics will fail. It was a good lesson about teamwork.”
On Wednesday, after some human captains were captured by the zombies, those left behind tested their rescue mission tactics with a match of capture the flag.
“The training session helped everyone prepare to rescue the leaders that are crucial to our cause,” said Kyler Jensen, a captain who helped organize the trainings. ”All of our training has led to Thursday night.”
