Dramatic rescue saves trapped human squad

Some cower from the zombie hordes for fear of contracting the ghastly virus.

But resistance Capt. Kyler Jensen and his squad mates rushed into danger on Monday evening in order to save a group of fellow humans.

It was just past 9:30 p.m., and resistance leader Solomon Razerbane Ruhe was leading a group of fellow humans to an area behind the natural resources building at Utah State University.

That’s where they were ambushed by a horde of zombies.

But before the undead could close in on Ruhe’s men, Jensen’s squad flanked the zombies and stunned them with homemade grenades.

“My whole squad performed admirably,” Jensen said, grinning through the dried zombie blood splattered on his face. “We don’t turn our backs on a fight. We saw someone in trouble and came to their aid.”

Tori Winslow, a neutral observer known as “The Harbinger,” watched the skirmish from nearby.

 
“Kyler remained hidden with a little group of troops and saw it unfold,” Winslow said. “When he did see the attack, his group came behind the swarm and rescued the humans that were trapped.”

Jensen’s men held their noses as rotting zombie appendages flew through the air from the  flow of ammunition and grenades they sent into the swarm.

“When you consider we started out with 25 of us and we still have 18 left, I’d say we’ve been successful,” Jensen said as he wiped away a mess of festering goo from around his eyes.

Jensen believes being silent and staying out of sight has allowed his men to counterattack when zombies swarm.

“Each of my men deserves a medal for their skill and bravery,” Jensen said. “There isn’t time for that now, however. We are preparing for our next battle.”
