Soldiers are battling with zoroup of huainst a dozen oropenly on their enemies, but unless the bullets strike their heads and rip the zoe And the zo the soldiers the time or space to squeeze in many clear headshots

My first instinct is to try to help the soldiers It doesn’t

The zombies have the soldiers surrounded I start towards the to distract the undead killers I’m not sure how I plan to help the huht off the zo infected Maybe I can buy the soldiers time to retreat to safety

But the reviveds put an early end toin teeth and fingers, and it’s all over before I hit the scene They leave the hu they’ve done enough

The soldiers writhe on the ground and screa anyone can do for thehtmare before it can claim hiether in front of erously I re the experiment The reviveds don’t react to zom heads unless we attack them It’s hard, but I force , nostrils dilated

They decide I’ with purpose Soon I’ and transforers and toes, teeth thickening and lengthening Turningto find answers or safety there

It’s the first time I’ve been able to patrol the corridors by et very far, but virtually all of the doors are open The security syste to holdto hold back the zo could be lurking in any of the rooms that I pass or around any of the corners that I con of the clown I scope lots of zo for their lives, but that’s all

I’h-pitched sound is torturous and I collapse tomy hands over my ears doesn’t help I feel likelike ninepins,It looks like the revolt has been quashed Soht spark has come to the rescue It’s probably for the best As much as I hate the crew here for what they’ve done to htered I’ll just wait, ride out the pain as best I can, and put up no resistance when they come to take me back to my
