Xander was in a bind, the cabin they had struggled so much to get to was right in front of them but instead of relief, he felt tension. The people there numbered about ten or so, it wouldn’t be wise to confront them head-on.Furthermore, he did not want to approach them either. After what he had experienced with Mark and Adrian, he did not want to give anybody the benefit of the doubt. He could still remember the look on his face when he tried to choke the life out of him. He had gotten wiser in the last twenty-four hours believe it or not.He concluded that the best he could do was simply try to get enough cans of food before the others entered into the cabin. Funnily enough, they seemeddisagreeing. An older man with patches of grey hair seemed to be telling them not to forcefully enter, while a slightly younger man, probably middle-aged was raging for them to break the door down.This however was not a time for him to gawk and stare. It was a time for him to act! “Hailey, stay here

Phillip was in a daze, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. ‘How was this even possible?’ He thought within himself. From what he had seen, the infected usually had animal-like or insect-like features with human bodies, however they carried more of the animal-like or insect-like characteristics with more disfigured features.But this time it was different, it had a human face with a lizard-like body. Its head had black eyes and equally black hair. Its mouth opened and Philip almost expected it to say something. Killing it now would leave a bitter taste in his mouth as he did not want to see the face of a human being while he was killing such creatures.Instead it let out a screech that sent shivers down his spine. The sound waves reverberated and sent shockwaves throughout the surrounding areas. Debris and pieces of wood and sand flew all over the place as the monster screamed in the direction of the retreating troops. Some dodged by jumping out of the way while others got caugh

“Xander, remember, just do everything exactly how I told you to, okay?” Phillip said as he seemingly vanished into thin air.The plan was simple, all he had to do was stay in place and wait for Phillip to play his part. The.Xander gulped and nodded before staring in the direction of the strange infected. Right now, most of the troops had turned their attention away from the normal infected and focused their fire on it. However, they might as well as thrown cotton at a brick wall.“HEY!” Xander suddenly yelled and pulled out a flare gun. Hopefully, they were right.The creature didn’t really pay attention to Xander’s shout. However, when he pointed the gun at the floor and shot the flare which burned brightly, it suddenly paused and fixed its gaze on him causing his whole body to shudder.On one hand, he was happy that their hunch had been right. Since the infected resembled a reptile, it also seemed to have gained the ability to perceive heat. However, Xander’s joy was short-lived w

“Do not even Think about stopping until I say so!” Andrew barked at the troops who were visibly tired while running laps.Their bodies seemed to ache and their chests heaved with each breath they took in. Andrew watched their progress with a whistle around his neck and arms folded across his chest.Ever since he became Captain, he had completely turned around the training regime of the force. They were now more effective and able to handle more difficult situations, thanks to Andrew’s guidance.He continued to watch over their progress when he heard the sound of a vehicle drive onto the training ground. He turned around and saw one of Greysons aides alight from the vehicle and walk up to him.“Captain Andrew, I have been instructed to take you to Mr Greyson immediately. He said there is something you must need to know.” She said.Andrew looked at the troops who were running behind him, of course they prayed internally that he would leave so that they could get a chance to rest after

The sun had barely risen when, just as they had previously planned, everyone had assembled in front of Greysons safe house.Phillip, Frank, Andrew, Dina, Xander, Greyson and a couple guards were all standing in front of the building. Obviously Greyson and Frank were not going to follow them on the expedition, however he came to offer his moral support.They were given a single armored vehicle with enough food and water to last them at least a week. Their objective was simple. Find the kid and bring him back to the base.“We are all packed and ready to go.” Andrew said as he joined the group who were now standing in a circle. Philip glanced at Dina who noticed and turned her gaze away from him. “Alright. I am sorry that I have to rely on all of you once again but that is simply the situation that we find ourselves in.” Greyson said to them.“Not at all, this is what we signed up for when we decided to become a part of the settlement.” Phillip said to Greyson.“Definitely, besides this
