In
yet another illustration of the fate of humans across campus, four resistance fighters planning
an attack on a group of zombies near the Geology Building on Wednesday were met
with a violent counter-attack.
Zombie
numbers have steadily increased across the Utah State University campus since
the outbreak began on Monday morning — a fact some attribute to their organized,
ruthless and unyeilding hunt for humans.
The
humans were confident going into the fateful fight.
“It’s time we get rid of these monsters,” said Danny Mueller, a human. “I’m losing my friends left and right and we can’t afford to lose more.”
“It’s time we get rid of these monsters,” said Danny Mueller, a human. “I’m losing my friends left and right and we can’t afford to lose more.”
But
the humans were not prepared for the savage force behind the zombies’ strategic
attack.
“Get
‘em,” cried King Strike, on the first zombies to be infested this week and now
a leader in The Horde.
On
Strike's order, an army of 20 zombies came out from behind trees and bushes to
engage in the counter attack.
It
was a strategy that has been perfected by zombies as their numbers have grown
this week.
“You
have to get as close as possible without being seen and then pounce,” said
Ethan Ackerman, a zombie. “It takes a little bit of stealth and a little bit of
predator.”
The
humans immediately sprang into action.
“Move,
move, move,” said Mueller as he reached for his gun and sock bombs and fired at
the incoming hoard.
But
he was not quick enough. Mueller's blood covered the ground as he joined the
undead.
“Don’t
let the others get away,” Strike demanded as his zombies continued their
assault.
The
zombies chased the remaining humans across The Quad. The survivors took refuge
in the Ray B. West building.
“They
got lucky,” Strike said. “Next time we will get them all.”
Strike
expressed confidence that the war would end with an undead victory.
“We
are going to get everyone,” Stike said. “You can’t escape us and you can’t hide
from us.”
