BATTLES: The Royal Invasion
Chapter 7

The group of people was about 500 meters away from the surveillance team when john said: these people…they’re not normal…the way they walk… it’s strange. John used the binoculars to look closely, and when he got a better view it was confirmed. He saw a corrosive faces like a bone sucked by a hungry dog, their empty eyes and their red mouths. “Guys, let us get closer to see what’s wrong with this people”. When the surveillance team got closer the distance between them was almost 200 meters, at that moment the eye contact happened between the groups. When the group of people saw John and his companions they began to ran towards them like a group of tigers who spotted gazelles.

“Let’s get the hell out of this place” John yelled at the team.

The ground was working against them, the rubble was slowing them down as the zombie-like group was getting closer to them fast. “We need to get off” one of the team cried.

The team left the vehicles, the equipment and everything and began to run away. ‘Where to go’ wasn’t important at that moment, the most important thing was survive. They began to run together in the opposite way, and there was no shelters or resistance bases around. Chances of success was absolute zero. The situation was worse for the injured John, he lost a lot of blood the other day and the area supposed to be a clean area according to the maps. John started to feel dizzy and his feet could not hold him anymore. Few moments then John collapsed, one of his companions helped him up which caused them to become slower than the others which left him two hard options; whether help John and both of them become a meal to them or leave his friend to get killed. The zombies was getting closer and closer to them until the distance between them and John was 50 meters.

“You go, now” said John to his companion.

“No way I do that...at least we will die fighting not running”

“Listen to me…they can’t lose another soldiers…go save yourself and help the others”

At that moment of desperate John wasn’t afraid to die, he was happy that this misery will finally end and meet his family again even if it will be an ugly way to die, but this wasn’t one of the thoughts inside John’s head.

“Leave me man…you will die anyway…choose a better way to die than this”

The zombies was 10 meters away.

“Okay” john’s companion said and closed his eyes and…

They suddenly hear gunshots, they looked behind them to see the zombies was getting a river of bullets through their bodies.

Do you believe in miracles? A resistance attacking formation was on its way to attack enemies forces located in the central park when they saw the dust in the sky and decided to check it out.

When the surveillance team was late Ronald got worried and being unable to contact with them by the radio forced him to accept losing more than 100 soldiers in few days. The people inside the base started to look at him, but he didn’t know was it mockery or anger, or both. But Ronald’s arrogant personality and the fact he does not accept to get comments on what he doing, he won’t give a damn about what people around him thinking about.

Ronald looked at the base which was as huge as a five football fields and remembered the time which was this place was full of young men hungry for blood. Now the most people in the base are the children, civilians and old people with some of the volunteered soldiers.

“They back” they yelled.

Ronald headed to them seeing that they have not lost one man and with 4 men from the group who saved them. Seeing the surveillance team again was a big relief for Ronald.

“What happened?” said Ronald.

“They met some of the transformed humans” said one of the soldiers who rescued John and his companions.

“Transformed what? Transformed humans? What in the hell?” said Ronald in aggressive tone.

“Some of this monsters outside can transform beings they bite to some sort of non-thinking being or we can call zombies”

“Wouldn’t they be a little bit nicer than that?” Ronald thought.

Kate wasn’t far away from them and could overhear the conversation between Ronald and soldier when she said: how did you knew about this? This the first time we encounter something like this.

He didn’t say anything back for few moments before he said briefly: we analyzed it.

“What base you came from, young man?” said Ronald.

“Base number 5”

“I see…I know base 5 is the strongest in the resistance forces in America”

“We need to talk to the leader here” said the soldier.

“I’m the leader here…Major Ronald McKenzie”

“We need some privacy, Major”

Ronald looked at the four soldiers then nodded: follow me.
