Catastrophe (VII)

(A/N: Fighting scenes and another long chapter! Omg.... I don't know how to write close combat scenes.... *cries* It's so hard!!! Thank you guys for all the support!!! Enjoy the chapter!)

Allen gripped his hunters knife in his hand as he turned around. One of the survivors standing in middle section of the line had been infected and had just turned. He was now attacking everyone else around him. The soldiers who were standing by charged forward to try and put down the situation. Allen didn't do anything and just stood there, because now he was in front of people he couldn't act OOC.

The zombie was in a frenzy, there was so much food surrounding it. As if it could feel excitement, it made a loud muffled growl. The people close to it were very unfortunate. The zombie tore off one man's neck with his teeth, the missing flesh was hanging by it's mouth. While another, he had his vertebrae broken as he was trying to run away.

It leaped onto his back and bit onto his shoulder. A pregnant woman didn't even get a chance to run away, it crawled up and bit onto her calf. The soldiers were having a difficulty taking it down as it was still early in the apocalypse and the soldiers hadn't hardened their hearts yet.

It took more than twenty minutes for the zombie to be put down. For those who either got bitten or scratched and lived, they were sent away to a different place to be put down. The soldiers made everyone who was near that section get thoroughly checked for any injuries, in case they wanted to escape detection. After, they started to proceed with the checkpoint again. There was a supply fee to get inside the base.

For Allen it wasn't too much trouble but for others it would cost them their whole supply. After getting inside, you would have to wait three hours before you were let to the outer base. After three hours, Allen was tired. If he was moving around, he wouldn't have been so tired but he had been standing for most of the time.

As Allen made his way through the streets, he felt someone's eyes on him and looked around to see who it was but he couldn't see them. Allen searched for a place to stay the night, but he was unlucky as there wasn't any free rooms. He had been 'generously' offered a room for a 'favor', but he declined. They gave away their true intent by their eyes and hands. Allen didn't care to stay inside of base B, he just wanted to complete the side quest and leave.

Since he didn't have a place to stay, he would be camping in the trees once again. Allen found a nice and sturdy tree not far from the entrance and climbed it. He leaned against the trunk of the tree while holding onto his belongings.

Two days pass by and it was the night before the third day. Allen had done nothing here, but sit and move from tree to tree. He would occasionally hide from people who had eyed his things. He had not slept for two days, and for sure tonight he wouldn't be catching any sleep. Just as the morning was rising, screams filled the air.

A zombie horde had attacked the base. Allen stayed on the branch and looked at the massacre that was happening around him. There were many level 0 and level 1 zombies running around inside of the base. Some of them were below the tree and were stretching their arms to the air as if asking Allen to jump down. Allen was lacking sleep, and now this occurred. He was a little irked. Suddenly, Bao Bao receives an update.
