Zombie Smackdown

Day 105

1700 hrs

A night patrol found about 40-50 infected people in a deep depression which is a low point or hole in the ground, surrounded on all sides by higher ground, it was about 50 yards in diameter, and was about 2 miles from our current base camp, so a little to close for comfort. Kinda like how water settles to the bottom of a bowl they just lingered down there and didn't see to care about getting out. Maybe they followed something living in there as a group and can't get out or maybe they just wanted to be in there? lol can the dead actually want anything.

Our plan of attack was to do a dawn raid, as soon as we had enough light so we could see and recognize each other. We don't have but one pair of NVG's and night would be risky with friendly fire or even a sprained anke. Myself and two girls would get as close as possible to the bottom of the depression the night prior, armed with silenced 9mm MP5SD's, six magazines each and 9mm handguns in thigh holsters for backup, and thigh drop pouches as we can't afford to lose mags for the HK's. At all four points of the compass on the higher ground would be several team members armed with MP5SD's in case we were killed they could spray the area with 9mm, or just in case other infected or armed men were near. As soon as we could see clearly,we rushed in staying less than two feet from each other the entire time, and fired one round at the head of each of the infected, if we seemed to miss, then another round would be fired. We were so close that it was impossible to miss and total time was less than one minute to eliminate the 50 some odd infected. We trained over and over for hours the day before and if anybody fell or looked liked they we bit by an infected then our teams on the high ground were to kill that member. If bit you can turn into a raging killer in less than 2 minutes, the person watching your back could attack your back if bit by an infected person. So it was a basically a suicide mission if it failed or you even tripped by mistake.

I asked for volunteers the day before and everyone raised their hands, because they knew how dangerous the infected could be. I narrowed it down when I asked who could kill the three of us if it failed, and some hands went down. I really narrowed it down to who would do the raid with me by asking who could kill a former living human being at point blank range, like they say the whites of their eyes, but in this case the red of their eyes, and told them that even if you tripped accidently you faced being shot by girls on the higher ground, why take chances.


My two volunteers who wanted to risk it all were named Eve and Angel


Now nicknamed Eve of Destruction and the Angel of Death by the other girls ; )
