Countdown
I gradually recovering her composure, but was still far from appeasing my shattered nerves. Those last 10 minutes had been the most sordid hard in my life.
All refuse containers were lying and now had become a solid protection. It would take many of these monsters to break the barricade. Anyway, already met 5 of them behind the barrier of containers, and several others were approaching from the distance, the above would jump like rabbits at all and less.
anxiety became unbearable. Our small safe area was entirely surrounded by the nameless. Our situation reminded me of an ironic way those spectacular documentary ocean where marine biologists, plunged into a seemingly flimsy metal cages, studied some huge and fearsome sharks swimming around less than two feet away.
Surely, those scientists would not predators, contemplate precious specimens, their behaviors and habits of behavior. Carnivores would not, would observe their customs and reactions to stimuli. I, however, remain in place so it would only be able to collect huge piles of razor-sharp teeth stalking me, waiting for a chance to fall on me, waiting for a mistake on my part or perhaps a weakness in the cage that separates us to satisfy anger.
by sharks walking corpses, garbage contaniners cages, water and air tinged with a putrid stench, but teeth for teeth, predator predators. It was the same situation, with one exception: we do not love being surrounded by those monsters. A weakness in our barricade, the slightest mistake on our part and we would end up being grass of the horde.
Even sitting on the pavement, his back rested on the van began to study the situation again. Was no time to wallow in anxiety, concentration and a cool head, that was all that was needed to live out that mission of lunatics.
To my left, behind a metal blind and bolted shut, we expected a small neighborhood grocery store, what would the difference between our survival or our collapse. On the other hand, with the doors ajar, an establishment whose sign read: service station, hardware and gardening products. Two local
perhaps We provide the supplies needed to survive a few weeks. Two shops that may do that because we were passing all worthwhile. My colleagues analyzed
with devout fixing the three locks that kept tightly closed metal shutters behind which lurked the grocery store. Were considering how best to drive them down.
- We use a chisel and mallet? - Considered the father of Martha.
-Too much noise, these monsters would hear the shots in two blocks around, even above the music. Natalia-claimed.
"Then with the gun or speak, would louder still, and who knows if the bullets bounce off the blind and forcing just a disgrace. Michel mused.
"If ... the best to cut these locks would shears, but do not have. "Said Marta's father again .-'d better examine the hardware, surely find something that we can serve.
finished this sentence, Martha's father disappeared behind the gates of the Service Station. Next to the defense formed by the container began to accumulate more and more undead, and there were at least a dozen, pathetically stumbled on garbage heaps strewn across the floor, trying in vain push the containers to break through. For now put up with, but most have thronged to resort to more drastic measures.
I felt strong enough to join again. I ordered the little Eric to stay with the vehicle not to move whatever happened and to retain our view at all times, nodded and went to meet my comrades.
-Conrad, are you better? He asked our new partner.
"If, just needed some rest. "I replied.
-start to be too much, I do not like, "Michel said pointing to the over dozen corpses were crammed behind the containers.
-alone try to cross the street to get to my car, music is not us. replied with some reservations.
- Are you sure? - Michel insisted.
-No. "I said with sincerity cruel causing a deep and exasperated sigh in my comrades.
"Anyway we have a problem more serious than those rotten there, if we begin to unnerve an alternative. "I explained .- The real dilemma is that I estimate about 17 minutes we are pulling from the top to open the door, pay what you can and get the hell out of here.
- 15 minutes? Why Why? As the barriers have not loose time, "said Natalia.
"No, the problem is the cassette is playing. I've heard dozens of times, I still remember the order of the songs you have recorded. "I argued and Fullmoon has sounded and The end of this chapter will end in a couple of minutes. Then come My land, Still loving you, My selene and Wolf & Raven lasting approximately 5, 4, 5 and 4 minutes. After follow Tallulah and Fade to Black are two ballads, the tone of the music will fall many integers, it may be enough for the nameless out of their amazement, and then we sold. 18 minutes is rushing too much, 17 is our margin, then we can not ensure that we cover.
faces of my classmates seemed to fade suddenly. We counted the seconds that door and if we all would have been resisted in vain.
Suddenly a cry came suddenly from inside the hardware. Martha's father was in trouble, needed our help and needed now. Music
