Chapter 10
"Gonzales! Take the lady with Liotta and Morales up ahead!", Enrie blared out, with the man named Gonzales just looking at him. "What are you looking at? RUN FOR IT! TAKE THE WOMAN WITH YOU!!!!"
Quickly the man sprang unto his feet, grabbing Rhylee by her bicep to take her to the two point men in front of the group. The four of them had already started bolting when the first undead popped out of the darkness of the forest, with Enrie taking a well-aimed shot at the monster's chest. It stopped the thing dead in its tracks, its fanged mouth gasping for air as it folded to the grassy ground. There were a total of four men left behind to rear guard Rhylee as she rushed out along with three metal guards.
They all poured out from the trees, it was as if they were all hiding there all along, waiting for the motley crew of warriors to pass their hungry sights. They were all rushing from both sides, all howling their same blood-thirsty screams by the droves. There were easily a hundred of them Enrie thought, and he knew now that this fight will not end without anyone getting hurt...just like he was afraid of.
"Men! Fix bayonets! Prepare for combat! FULL AUTO! FIRE AT WILL!!!!", with Enrie pulling on the trigger of 'Buster' to start spraying the Infected that have made the wrong move of thinking he would be an easy meal. With each click of his trigger finger, Infected fell by the droves but it seemed like as one fell dead two or even three more sprung out of the darkness. His men weren't having any luck either, when they kill one it was easily replaced by another hungry mouth. This fight is going to be bloody, and his hands will be stained for sure by the end of the day once more, Enrie thought. Already the Walkers were close, close enough for the ones left behind to start inching back and away from the oncoming onslaught of the Undead.
Another howl came from behind Enrie...
f**k! OUR BACKS!!!
Enrie thought in horror as he forgot that their backs were exposed. He whipped around, his finger never leaving the triger as he spun, bullet casings flying in an arc. "Men retreat!", he screamed as he punched a Walker, the corner of his eyes seeing that the girl named Quinn was already busy working a group of Infected with her...battle ax?
What a kid...
As Enrie started walking he turned his head to see if Rhylee and her guardians are faring better than they are, and he was relieved to see that noone was chasing them...yet.
