"Damn it, Keys and Smith, your aim was terrible! How could you miss the guys in the car?" The man sounded angry, they wanted to kill the man in the Hummer. Unfortunately, these guys missed every shot they fired off; they couldn't even hit the glass!
They believed they could kill the driver, then sneak out of this building and take his car; escaping this terrible predicament.
"Hehe, I guess I'm a little rusty." The man laughed, he killed a cop to take this gun, along with his friend, who also sported a pistol.
"The guys turned into an alleyway over there somewhere, he probably turned around and left the area already." The other man with the pistol exclaimed, sighing. Right then, they could hear growling and screeches approaching rapidly.
"Guys, we have a problem, these crazy people are attacking the building!" One of the men holding an Axe expression changed drastically.
The infected individuals all attacked the doors, this particular building had 2 floors and they were at the top. The group had some intelligence and decided to barricade the stairs but not the doors. The stairs were barricaded with couches, dressers, and so forth to stop anything from advancing. They didn't barricade the doors just in case they had to escape as fast as they could.
"Goodness, they're destroying the doors, shoot them!" The man panicked somewhat and started to holler.
The men took aim and fired upon the infected, they managed to kill two of them but more were still coming. They soon noticed that these things had decent durability—and that their guns were rendered ineffective to some degree if they didn't shoot them in critical places.
"Keys and Smith, save your ammo for crucial moments! Don't listen to Eric or you'll run out of ammo and we'll be done for after that!" The man was not happy to see them using all their ammo up to stop the inevitable, were these guys stupid?
"Ah, sorry, we'll stop!" They both seemed to have thought of something and stopped.
"Don't shoot any more until it is necessary; if that Hummer comes back then use your ammo on them. We'll kill them and steal their ride, then we'll be out of this place in no time." Everyone nodded with delight but soon felt down, what were the chances of that guy coming back after being shot at?
They believed that the hummer driver had no weapons, so they could easily deal with him with their guns.
A crushing so was soon heard, as many infected broke the door down and rushed to the stairs.
Sadly for the infected, it was barricaded which walled them off.
"They broke through, guard the stairs, kill them with your Axe!" Bennis said hurriedly. He was the only one without a weapon, so he couldn't defend himself well.
Everyone rushed towards the stairs and spotted multiple infected trying to bypass the barricade. They were even wounding themselves just to get up! Eric swung his fire Axe over the barricade and cut into the infected neck.
Blood gushed out and landed over the barricade, it was still alive because its head hadn't been removed, but it would die soon due to its serious bleeding.
The other infected grabbed the Axe and it growled in a frenzy! The infected pulled the Axe out of the man's hand and threw it to the ground. Another infected somehow managed to make it over the barricade and lunged towards Eric.
"Ah!! Shoot it!" Eric was holding the infected by the neck as it kept clamping its teeth with a vicious face, its mouth reeked of death! The two men took aim and fired at the infected, its head was penetrated as blood splashed all over Eric's face, but the infected died.
"Ugh!" Eric was angry that blood had splashed all over him. Some of the blood had gotten into his mouth, he didn't know that he was doomed to death at this point.
The mission wouldn't change even if he died from becoming infected, if he wasn't killed that is. All that mattered was that these guys died and the mission would be complete without Ahri and Darius having to do anything!
They could indirectly cause their deaths and would still complete the mission.
They all helped Eric up the stairs as both Keys and Smith continued to handle the infected near the stairs.
"Damnit, we won't last long like this." Bennis said.
There were two other guys sitting and looking out of the window, they weren't saying anything but they appeared to be thinking.
"Damnit, these crazy guys are starting to actually climb on each other like madmen just to get to this floor!" Ryan was staring out of the window and exclaimed in horror, these guys looked like they were on drugs due to how fast they were moving.
The Infected were actually climbing on each other's heads rapidly just to get up and through the window!
Bennis ran over to see what he was talking about and was shocked, he was truly scared now. The infected howled like madmen, as drool and blood leaked from their mouths. At that moment, they heard a roaring engine approaching.
"Guys, that Hummer is back!" The men near the window exclaimed in joy, maybe they could get out of this situation.
"Keys, get over here and shoot at them, they could be a good distraction for these maniacs while we slip away!" Keys immediately ran over when he heard everything.
.....
Darius and Ahri.
Ahri lit up the sock Molotov and threw it out the window towards the infected, it shattered on two infected, but it didn't kill them. Multiple infected turned crazier and rushed the hummer, but how could Darius make it easy for them?
Darius ran over quite the amount infected in the process, he drove and had to turn back around to continue the same process.
At this time, the man known as Keys fired upon the hummer, he was trying to kill if not wound Darius. "Fuck, these guys are really ungrateful! Ahri, do you think you could shoot that guy in the window?" Darius asked quickly.
Ahri nodded and took out her bow, these people were trying to use both of them as scapegoats.
The people in the building had just noticed that there was another person in the Hummer, which stunned them for a second.
What Darius saw next, amazed him.
While the vehicle was moving, Ahri swiftly popped out the window and shot an arrow off, with pinpoint accuracy, it hit the man right in the head! Key's body shook for a moment, and he fell to the ground dead!
The men within the mini building were shocked to see an arrow killing Keys. It didn't stop there, the barricade was being breached by the infected according to smith—they couldn't worry about Keys now, he was just another dead body.
Eric picked up Key's pistol and ran towards the stairs, there weren't many bullets remaining; they only had a clip left. Darius passed by often, he kept passing by as he gunned down many infected while running them over in the process.
"Ahri, is it possible for you to throw a Molotov in that window where you shot that guy?" Darius asked.
Ahri shook her head, this was simply impossible according to the laws of physics, they were moving in a car, so that wasn't happening.
Darius expected this, but he recalled what he saw in the trunk and his face almost turned sinister. The man who owned this Hummer was coming out of the supermarket when he was killed by an infected.
The guy had matches and Gas Juggs, all in his car. What Darius spotted was a propane tank in the back of the trunk. If he were to blow that up, just how many infected and even the men in the building could he kill? The man who owned this car was either going camping or barbequing, who knows?
"Hehe, Ahri, I'm going to need to grab that propane tank in the back." Darius smiled and said.
Ahri, however, looked at Darius with confusion, she didn't understand what he was talking about. She only understood some English, like what shot, shoot, and so on, she didn't understand what a propane tank meant in English.
Darius could see her confusion through the mirror and decided to get away from the area to get it himself. It didn't take him long to find somewhere quiet to park to get the propane tank himself.
He was feeling uneasy since the infected had become more active due to the loud gunshots, so he didn't get out of the car. Instead, he climbed into the back through the car to get it, just in case some psychotic infected came out of nowhere to attack him.
Ahri looked at the propane tank and her face beamed with a smile, she knew what he was going to do. Darius didn't have to explain much, she would throw this out of the window next to the building and he would shoot it... drive-by style.
Ahri nodded as to understand, she had noticed that even though he ran over infected and killed them; the points would still count for her. Were they in some sort of party or something?
There was a sunroof on this particular Hummer, so this would make it easier to throw things. There were two coolers with water and soda inside of them; there was also some frozen steak and vegetables the man bought as well.
When Darius went to grab the propane tank, he saw another propane tank!
"Alright, Ahri, prepare to throw it with all your strength!" Darius felt kinda bad having her do all of this, she was so helpful to him. Ahri put the propane tank above her head and rose through the sun window... propane tank first.
"Now!" Darius exclaimed as he passed.
Ahri immediately threw the propane tank, it slammed into one of the infected, and its head was crushed upon contact. The propane tank landed near the building safe and sound without it bursting open, it must have been because it had landed on the infected's head.
Ahri immediately descended back into the car since one of the infected leaped through the air and onto the car.
Darius immediately closed the sun window. The sun window was covered in a layer of metal to protect the glass.
The infected crawled on the car as its mouth dripped with blood, its eyes glinted with madness! The infected roared and slammed its hand through the window near Darius, aka the driver's window!
"Fuck! Get off me!" The infected grabbed Darius' arm as he was driving, it was trying to pull his arm in closer for a good bite. The car swerving side to side as he was trying to shake it off, it growled coldly and pulled Darius with more force.
The infected finally reveal its face, its mouth was dripping with some kind of white fluid, it had a head full of white hair and its face looked like it had lost most of its flesh. Its face seemed to be nearly reduced to a skeleton-like state, it looked horrifying!
Darius was completely shocked and scared stiff seeing the ugly appearance, it was still grabbing onto him. It was about to bite him until... Ahri reach over a stuck an army knife right into its head, it screeched a fell off the car.
Darius kept driving but his face was full of sweat, he almost felt like crying. He was still, after all, a 16 year old—this was something unearthly and should never happen. Too bad this was the movie world, so all things were possible, even aliens. Ahri patted Darius's shoulder while saying "It's okay" with an accent.
Darius calmed down and turned the car around to rushed back to the building. Darius drove up but at this moment, Bennis was looking out of the window and saw the propane tank below. Ahri took it upon her self to shoot the propane tank, she flexed her mp5 and sprayed the propane tank.
"NOT GOOD!!" Bennis's expression turned ugly as he yelled out in horror!
BOOM!
BOOM!!
Darius drove swiftly, he was breaking the speed limit. However, the car was still hit by the shockwave of the explosion! Bennis and the rest were set ablaze and every infected surrounding the building was burned charred black from the big explosion.
Bennis and his crew were killed when the Propane tank exploded, some actually died when the building collapsed and some died from the explosion itself, either way, all their paths led to death.
Darius and Ahri heard a notification go off in their heads at the same time.

Darius nodded and looked at the mission he had left to complete. He had stopped the car after he was a decent way away from the bombed-building. Darius checked to see if the coast was clear before checking everything. He knew that this explosion would only attract more attention from the infected.

"So close! Well, let's go find an electronics store then find somewhere we can sleep for the night."
Ahri nodded and stepped further into the back of the car, she was really exhausted. She had done a lot in this mini-war. Darius continued to drive so he could find an electronics store.
