No Turning Back

Chapter Thirty-Two: Here We Go Again!

"What was--", Kiana tried to ask before Primis stopped her with a gently placed finger against her lips.

"Shhh, zhere is somezhing coming", Primis replied as he nodded towards the doors by the mystery box that led up to the juggernog machine.

"Uh, guys", Dempsey called out from the catwalk above.

"We've got freakbags!" The marine called out as everyone readied their guns.

There was a loud shriek as the undead began to swarm the group. Undead scientists and soldiers began piling up behind the barriers as they viciously tore down the wooden planks covering the windows. Kiana gasped as she watched a horde file through the door way towards her and Primis.

"Come vith me!" Primis exclaimed as he grabbed Kiana's hand.

The pair made their way back up the stairs to meet Dempsey on the catwalk as Nikolai and Takeo took charge of the barriers.

"Ve need to get to a better area! If ve stay here ve vill be killed!" Primis cried as he ushered everyone back up the next set of stairs and out into the open air.

Everyone began to run to the large lunar lander pad which sat atop the stairs to the PhD Flopper. Primis ordered Kiana to stay back against the wall which was painted with a large colourful Soviet mural. As she stood there; she shakily held her pistol and watched the men move into action.

"Fuck yeah! It's good to be back!" Dempsey yelled happily as he readied his M16.

"I have missed the hellpigs", Nikolai agreed as he began loading his stakeout shotgun.

The horde began to grow as the undead made their way towards the group. As they began climbing the steps Dempsey was the first to unload his magazine into them. Nikolai then picked off the stragglers as he blasted them with his shotgun.

"Your turn, Tak!" Dempsey called out as he quickly began reloading.

Takeo stepped forward with his famas machine gun as he watched the knashing teeth of the undead get closer and closer. Then, he quickly unloaded his bullets which pierced through the crowd of undead causing them to fall to the ground.

"Aw yeah! Nice shooting, Tak!" Dempsey laughed as he was clearly high on adrenaline.

"Kiana! Vatch out!" Primis called out as Kiana turned to see an undead Soviet scientist running straight for her.

She quickly raised her pistol and fired directly at the undead creature's head causing it to stop in its tracks. She noticed Primis' face turn pale as he anxiously ran over to check she was okay.

"Oh, don't be daft! I'm fine!" Kiana replied with a smile.

"Stay close to me", Primis commanded as he stood in front of her with his galil in hand.

"We'll keep 'em back!" Dempsey shouted over to Primis as the doctor gave him a reassuring nod.

Hours passed as the undead continued to pile through the barriers and towards the group. Everyone was getting tired as they wondered when it would finally end.

"Fuck! I'm runnin' out of ammo!" Dempsey cursed as he changed over to his pistol.

"We need a max ammo!" Takeo replied as Kiana remembered about the power ups from the game.

"Yeah, I still haven't seen one of them yet", Kiana explained.

"I wonder if they look like the ones in the game", She added.
