“HEAD SHOTS, HEAD SHOTS!” #zombie #apocalypse #book2 #axiom


It is a horrid sight, bodies litter the steps and walkway leading to the entrance. They make their way through the blood staining the steps, only to find that the glass around the command center to be shattered.

Jayce signals for the unit to stay quiet as they pass through the entrance of the building. The shattered glass crunches beneath their feet. With a quick glance, the unit notes the bullet riddled walls. Florescent light fixtures hang from the ceiling, flickering. Jayce turns his attention towards the members of his team behind him. He pauses as he stares at the bloody footprints he and his men have left.  Andre catches a glimpse of something moving fast as it flanks them. He fires several rounds into it with his rifle, tearing apart its torso. It does not slow down, Pat turns also firing several rounds towards it. One of the rounds strikes the combatant in the head and the unit watches as it falls, lifeless.

“HEAD SHOTS, HEAD SHOTS!” Andre calls out, directing the men.

As they make their way through the command center, they pass body after body, the very same people that had looked at them as if they were the dead men walking. Both military personal, mostly officers and their assistants, and the occasional body of what they can only assume are the undead, line the corridors. Several of the creatures appear to be deceased. Suddenly, to the unit’s surprise, they begin to reach for them. Ben and Ty take aim, ending the threat.  The officers they pass have bite marks covering their exposed flesh and pieces of flesh have been torn from their bodies as they lie in pools of their own blood. Once in the center of the building, the corridor splits off into three directions. The left hall will take them to Colonel Wallace’s office.
