Zombies waited in the darkness sniffing the air for the scent of approaching
humans.
On Wednesday night, Capt. Solomon Razorbane Ruhe led his company of 40 humans on a mission to identify and eliminate Lazura, one of the zombie captains. En route Ruhe’s contingent encountered multiple hordes of zombies.

The
expanding groups of zombies prowling Utah State’s campus are becoming
increasingly ferocious, Ruhe and his fellow fighters found. The undead have
been unable to satisfy their growing hunger due to a lack of victims. Human
numbers have rapidly dwindled in the past three days, leaving only a few
resistance fighters.
Alex Petersen and Nikolay Hacking were two of the eight humans who survived the Wednesday onslaught.
“We were supposed to find Lazura and then call in support,” Petersen said. “We were getting close when we were discovered.”
Ammunition ran low and survivors were forced to flee for their lives across campus.
“Speed was the best option in that situation,” Hacking said. “We watched almost all of the men in our company get wiped out.”
Peterson became separated from the other humans and made his way through the darkness to the company’s command post, his heart pounding.
“I thought I was the only survivor,” Petersen said. “But back at headquarters I found out there were seven others from my company that made it.”
Another squad led by Sgt. Tony Edwards was tasked with finding and destroying the zombie headquarters. Edwards’ squad also suffered casualties.
“We got funneled in an alleyway between the business building and the Lund building,” Edwards said. “The horde followed us in and I tried to lead the horde away. I was.... sacrificing myself. Another horde came around and I emptied a full clip into the horde before they got me.”
