| As Wednesday fell, so too did the number of remaining humans at Utah State University. |
The Stan Laub Indoor Training Center reeked with the smell of rotting zombie flesh on Wednesday night as some of the remaining humans at Utah State University fought and scrambled to gather supplies for an antidote.
“It’s intense and it’s scary,” said Lindsey Kossin, a human survivor. “I’ve never done anything like this before.”
Teams of humans ran out from a zombie-proof base to go after the antidote materials. Some humans were designated to grab the supplies and each had armed comrades to protect them.
Once they grabbed the bag of supplies, the humans sprinted back to their base as the horde of zombies followed behind them.
According to Tanner Kattenhorn, a human who returned antidote supplies back to the base, the zombies were ferocious.
“OMG. That’s how it felt,” Kattenhorn said after returning the bag. “All I know is that I grabbed the box and ran for my life.
Although he fought hard, Kattenhorn was not fast enough to escape the zombies on a later run for supplies.
Kat Combs believes her fellow humans could have performed better.
“We did terrible,” Combs said. “We were doing good until zombies came out of nowhere and killed a large portion of us.”
Despite Combs’ disappointment, Gen. Jon Kuhl confirmed that the humans accomplished their objective.
“We got the supplies for the antidote but it is up to the scientists to create it,” Kuhl said. “We lost just under 50 percent of the humans tonight and the zombies outnumbered us from the get-go. I feel there were acceptable losses for what we had to do tonight.”
