Isaac and Ellie are entering the laboratory by one of the inputs that the Necromorphs have not yet found.

Now, the building resembles a battlefield. There was blood all over the walls and floor and several humans mangled corpses everywhere. There are also several dead Necromorphs, which show that the soldiers fought.

(Isaac): "We must find the Youngs. That's our priority."

They move slowly in the corridors, weapons in hand. They are wary especially ventilation ducts, as the Necromorphs love to hide in ambush.

They go discretely to a room, as several Slashers are devouring corpses. They are too busy and do not notice the presence of Isaac and Ellie.

Ellie must refrain of vomit as a Slasher has torn a look at a corpse and the blood flowing on the ground. The smell of decomposed meat and blood is really atrocious. Isaac and Ellie go, leaving the monsters to their feast.

Several Wasters have collect several corpses and then a Infector launches a jet of venom on all bodies. Then the corpses seem to merge together and form a Brute Necromorph.

Meanwhile, the youth group is locked in a cell and are disarmed. On the other hand, a Waster at seen them and tries to destroy the door to meet them. If it managed to enter, they are doomed. They can not do anything without a weapon against a Necromorph mad. With its axes, the Waster destroyed the lock and managed to open the cell door. The group fell to the bottom of the room while the monster walks towards them. Calista has tight Maria against her, to protect her.

The group has no weapon to defend himself against the creature. The Waster says a few words and prepares its axes. But a shot is heard and the head of the Necromorph explodes into pieces. This is Isaac and Ellie who are arrived just in time. Despite this, the Waster is still alive and without his head, he starts to hit with his axes in the room. Isaac takes his plasma cutter and cuts the two legs of the Waster. But the monster is really tough and does not die. Ellie comes and kills him by cutting both his arms.

Ellie and Isaac found the young people. But unfortunately, they do not have time to celebrate. Of roars are heard in the corridors. Isaac looks into the hallway and sees shadows moving towards them.

(Isaac): "The Necromorphs are aware of our presence, we must go, now!"

Maria is too low to run, Ellie takes her in her arms.

(Ellie): "Let's go."

The group leaves the cell and starts running in the corridors, as fast as they can. Behind them, at a dozen meters, the Slashers arrive in groups and begin to pursue them. Worse, the lurkers out of the air vents and try to pierce humans with their tentacles. Incidentally, Mathias cuts the tentacle of one of them and Emily shoots him in the head. The Lurker falls to the ground, dead.

(Mathias): "Great job Emily."

(Emily): "Yes, it is better teamwork."

When they arrive in a room that looks like a shed, they close the door and barricade before the Necromorphs arrive.

The monsters throw against the door trying to open it, but it is very hard and thick. It will resist. After several minutes, the monsters decided to leave and return to the corridors of the base.

The group is safe for the moment. Ellie approaches of the young people to see if they are okay.

(Ellie): "You have nothing? You're not hurt?"

(Cali): "No, it's okay. Thank you for coming to free us."

(Isaac): "We're not going to let you die here. Now we must find a way out of this base."

Through the window, the group looks out of the base. Outside, the Necromorphs are everywhere. Most devour human corpses they killed, others are in the process of secreting a sticky substance to form the nest.

Suddenly, a call comes from one of the computers that are in the room. The group rushes to see what it is. Isaac established contact with someone. A woman in military uniform, appears on the screen.

(Loana): "I'm Sergeant Loana. Are you hear me? You are Isaac Clarke?"

(Isaac): "Yes it's me, what do you want?"

(Loana): "We have identified your signal on the planet Aegis VII, having followed in the footsteps of your ship. We are here to evacuate you."

(Ellie): "Sergeant, take care, the planet is infested with Necromorphs. If you have soldiers with you, that they take their weapons."

Loana understands and stops the transmitting. A few seconds later, several spaceships coming through the sky. Military spaceships. The spaceships began bombarding the huge army of Necromorphs that are outside. Thousands of monsters are sprayed by bombs in a few minutes. When the smoke clears out, there remain millions of charred corpses of Necromorphs, everywhere.

The group was very impressed. The spaceships have landed on the plain and the soldiers began to leave, with weapons. There is nothing left.

(Soldier): "Ok, we'll go. Be careful where you walk."

But the soldiers are just a few meters, of other Necromorphs appear. A Exploder happens to them, pushing his disembodied cries. One of the soldiers aims bad and shoots on the explosive bubo of the monster. The Necromorph explodes into pieces and explosion injured several soldiers, and even kill one of them. In the distance, of Slashers arrive by the dozens.

(Soldier): "But this is not possible, there are everywhere of these crap!"

The soldiers began to shoot the creatures and a new battle begins. Meanwhile, the group of Isaac, observed that since the base window.

(Mathias): "We must help them, they will get slaughtered!"

(Emily): "But we can not get out of here. The Necromorphs have invaded the entire base."

(Cali): "We have to try our luck. If we stay here, we will die."

(Ellie): "Cali has right, let Prepare your plasma cutters."

The group opens the door and walks in the corridors of the base. No Necromorph in sight, for the moment.

In one room, the group sees several Slashers piling of corpses on top of each other and several Infectors come to infect all. The bodies seem to merge together and form a Brute Necromorph. The group is really horrified and goes, discretly.

Meanwhile, Loana tries to reconnect with his soldiers, but no one answers. Except one. Man appears on the screen. He is being run, and seems completely panicked.

(Soldier): "Sergeant Loana, it was a ambush. These monsters come of everywhere, the whole area is invaded. All others are dead or missing, I am the only survivor.... I will...."

He did not have time to finish his sentence. A band of Slashers jumped on him and begins to cut him into pieces. The blood spurts everywhere and organs also. Seeing this, Loana realizes she made ​​a huge mistake to. But behind her, she heard a growl.

When she turns, she sees one of his soldiers, Johnson, who stands before her with mouth full of blood and strange eyes that looks her.

(Loana): "Johnson?" "

The soldier becomes a Slasher, in front the woman, horrified. She did not have time to take her weapon, the Slasher pounces on her and shred her with his blades, then begins to devour her, living.
