Chapter 70 - Maine street - Part 11

Meanwhile, Raoul has killed the second zombie by making him fall into the knees and sticking the metal pipe into the other creature head. As he has done that, he almost falls, and he looks at the zombie, who is falling on his back, with the metal pipe stuck on the head.

"Fuck… This is way brutal than any video game I've played."

"R-Raoul…" says his brother walking slowly to Raoul.

"What is it?" asks Raoul worried.

"We-We have to get out of here."

"What? Why?"

"It's not safe." says his brother looking at the officers who are having a hard time to put the creatures down who still keep coming but in groups of three or five zombies. "We have to get out of here, or else we will die."

"No. The helicopter will come back! We have to remain here and wait for it!"

"Guys!" says the officer looking at Raoul and his brother. "We have a big problem. And we have to leave this place."

"But the helicopter, sir?" asks the other officer who shoot the last zombie who came. "We cannot leave now."

"We have to, Pierre." says the officer to that man. "This or we will become food for these fuckers." he points his assault rifle at the head of the creature, and he shoots it without mercy.

The other officer, he goes to that door, he closes it, and he uses a bed to block it. Then, seeing it will not be enough, he goes with the second officer, and he carries a desk who was at the rooftop, for some reason.

The boss of these officers is going at Raoul and his brother, and he tells them.

"Look. At the police station. We can communicate with the help. With the helicopter pilot, and we can get a ride from here. But to do that, we have to find a way out of this building."

"And going into the building it will be dangerous considering the infected mutants there." says Raoul to that officer. "And your people have already locked the way. So What other way we have?"

"The vents!" says Raoul's brother, and he points at a vent. "We can break it and use it to go through the hospital."

"The vents are not working like in the movies, civilian." says the officer named Pierre, he looks at his colleagues, and he shows them a rope they've got. "I've found a rope here. This one might help us get into the windows of a building and making our way out from the interior."

"We cannot use it to repel from the rooftop?" suggest Raoul.

"Unfortunately, it is not long enough." says the officer, who then goes with the rest of the survivors at the edge of a building, he throws the rope while he holds it, just to show them the rope can only reach the third floor. "You see?"

"Yes." says Raoul. "But doesn't these builds have fire escapes or stairs."

"It does, but those were supposed to be repaired three months ago, and they are very unstable."

"I see… Then our only way?" asks Raoul at the officers.

"Yes."

Raoul sighs, and he looks at his brother, who only nods in his agreement. He is feeling very scared because a few seconds ago he was almost killed and became a creature like the ones in the building and outside it. He agrees with the plan and the officers proceed to tie the rope to a something sturdy, like to a close vent to the edge of the rooftop.

After the rope was tied, the survivors proceed to repel from the building, one by one. The first one to repel was Pierre, who repelled until to the fifth floor, and from there he smashed the window. He then, looked around him, and after he made sure there will be no zombies, he looked up, and he told his teammates in a loud voice.

"Nobody is here! You can come along!"

And so, they did. One by one, all of them got safely to the fifth floor.
