Chapter 6: The basement of truth?
We all kept walking and towards the end of the warehouse there were stairs leading down to some kind of basement. All of us walked down the stairs through the claustrophobic hallways and finally arrived at some experimental lab or something. Shit, all the experiments in the lab were kept in cylinders or cryogenic storage.
"That's sick! Just look at all those experiments. I can see an "Infected" stored in one of the cylinders. Bubbles coming out must mean that he's still alive and breathing just resting I guess. But damn! Look at the other experiments."
"Jacovich, keep quiet there might be someone here listening to us talk."
"Whatever Leslie, you were Lieutenant last time but not anymore."
I saw Froagers, Devil's Cerberus, Infected and 2 more experiments I've never seen before. They were all in shutdown mode so I didn't have to be scared of them waking up, I hope. The other 2 experiments looked a bit different from the abnormalities we've seen so far. One looked like an Infected except that it had multiple eyes on it's head and its arms are much larger. An advanced version perhaps?
The other experiment was huge. At least twice as large as a normal Infected. It had a cannon for an arm and a blade for the other. It's skin colour is blue and it didn't have any eyes at all. The eyelids were shut tight with stitches. Insane!
I walked over to a table and looked at a few of the files. Apparently this is where they conduct experimental studies on new prototype species they were creating. The question is ..who are these people who are doing all these experiments? It seems like all of the freaks we've faced so far were just prototypes...meaning that there are more species that are already common? Shit what the hell have I gotten myself into?
"Hey Charles..you hear that?" Leslie whispered.
I could hear loud explosions from above. Ah crap, what's going on above us now? The whole basement suddenly shook and some of the cylinders started leaking. Damn! The experiments are awake!
"Guys, I think we better get out of here cause those experiments in the cylinders..they seem to be waking up."
"Good idea Markus, Alright before we leave let's blow up this place shall we?" Zhenhowsky suddenly spoke.
Blow up this place? Well I better pack some of the files and carry them with me or else they'll be burried here forever, I'll have to examine these files more thoroughly once we get somewhere safe.
"Jacovich, hand me some of your remote C4's. Now!"
Zhenhowsky planted 2 remote C4's on the wall and on a pillar. "Alright, everyone out! Those freak experiments are ready to crash the party!"
"Zhenhowsky, didn't know you knew how to use explosives."
"Well now you know Jacovich, now hand me over a frag grenade."
"Sure."
While we were all running up the stairs, I could see Zhenhowsky pulling the pin of the frag and throwing it at the cylinders. I saw him run up to us and pushed us all and within a few seconds, the basement level shook again as the grenade exploded killing almost anything in that small confined space.
By the time we arrived at the door ready to exit, one of the experiments started appearing from the stairs. It was that huge ass hulking experiment with a cannon and a blade for arms. Zhenhowsky started shooting and throwing a few grenades at it and it was still standing. He ran out of bullets so he had to reload. Damn, 30 bullets from an Ak47 did nothing to this freak. All of us layed suppressive fire so that it didn't have time to shoot it's cannon or we'd all be toast. Then Zhenhowsky asked us all to go out and let him handle the situation, he must've been really smart or really stupid.
We all ran out and Zhenhowsky pressed the trigger of the remote and the remote C4's from the basement kicked into action. The explosion was huge and it created a fireball which shot out from the stairs and hit the experiment. The whole warehouse caught on fire and Zhenhowsky was the last one to jump out from the explosion. Damn that was cool.
"Woooo yeah! Now that's what I'm talking about!"
"Uhh Zhenhowsky, look around us." Dominic spoke.
We were all surrounded by what looked like thousands of zombies. Shit, zombies, these must be the common experiments.
Leslie thought up of a plan for us all to get in the SUV and drove to my apartment where it might be safer. Heck my handgun ammo was running low so I would've went to my apartment anyway.
"Markus! Lay down some fire to give us time to jump in the SUV." Leslie said
"Okie dokie, if it's fire you want, it's fire you get"
Markus held his flamethrower tightly and pressed the trigger as far as he could and spewed fire all around and burnt the zombies who came close while we all jumped in the SUV. Markus was the last to get in as he was still burning some of the zombies before getting in.
"Burn baby burn!! Now let's get outta here and go to his apartment as quickly as possible."
Jacovich drove as fast as he could and arrived at my apartment while ramming some of the zombies that were in the way. Blood splattered all around the SUV and it was gruesome! Zombies were surrounding the entrance of the apartment so some of us shot them through the windows of the SUV. Our shots landed on the zombies hitting parts of their bodies. Their heads exploded whenever a bullet hit their head and their brain parts flew everywhere. Same goes to their body parts. Zhenhowsky threw a frag grenade and the explosion ripped off the zombies and limbs were flying everywhere. It looked like raining body parts!
We all got out and ran towards the entrance quickly before any of us were caught by the zombies and went into my apartment walking up to the 5th floor where my room was at the far end of the hallway. I was finally back in my apartment, home sweet home, but it wasn't all good. Jacovich looked around and then he spoke,
"Any of you seen Dominic?!"
"Wasn't he right behind us when we ran in?"
"Oh shit, guys look!" Leslie told us to look out the window and we all saw Dominic being mauled by at least 10 or more zombies. Damn! We lost a good man. Even though I didn't know him that well, I know he did good..Now he's just food for those damn fuckin zombies!? That's just sickening.
"That's sick I tell ya! He wouldn't have had a chance against the hundreds of zombies walking around down there!"
"Jacovich, just, keep quiet.. he was one of Zhenhowsky's closest friend" Leslie said..
