the floor with its head split open like a water melon spilling green, red and grey gore all over the ground. Then I heard the crack of the rifle round split the air followed by an increase moaning from the infected. Watching the roof line of the building I was looking for any movement along its edge and it wasn’t long before I saw a flash then another infected fell beside the other. From the looks of it the sniper had racked up quite a few kills. They weren’t all in a single place but well-spaced out along the fence line.
Climbing out of the car I grabbed the nearest backpack and started moving up the road crouched over. I was trying to see if the infected were all the way round the fence line or if there was any entrance or way in that didn’t have any infected near that I could use. The infected did seem to be thinning out the further toward the back of the compound. Keeping behind the bushes and cars on the road I managed to make it to the rear of the compound and found it nearly devoid of infected. There were the odd group of three or four here and there but they were widely spaced. I quickly moved to a small grove of trees near to what I thought was the back entrance to the compound a small gate set in the ten foot fence line. I must have sat in the trees for about ten or fifteen minutes before trying to find out if the gate was locked or not.
I crept out of the trees and slowly made my way to the gate whilst trying not to make any noise. Just my luck the gate had a huge padlock on it and it was fastened tight. Looking around I could see corpses lying on the ground inside the fence and nearly all but a few had BDUs on. I looked up at the roof of the building and I saw someone waving their arms over their head at me. I gave a heart hearted wave back and I was just about to move away from the gate when the figure pointed at its self, then at me and finally at the gate. From the rudimentary sign language I took that to mean that they would come down and open the gate for me. I waved back and then pointed to myself and then the trees, the person on the roof gave me a double thumbs up and I made my way back to the trees to hide. Sitting in the shadows I watched the compound and after what seemed to take ages I saw a small figure in BDUs detach itself from the shadow of the building and head for the gate. Keeping myself low I headed for the gate and got there shortly before they did. He was about five feet eight and had a lean build and short cropped blonde hair. His nose had been broken at one time or another and he had serious looking grey coloured eyes.
Stopping just short of the gate he said “You’re not infected or anything are you? No bites or scratches?”
“No I’ve not been infected. I’ve been hiding out near Thirsk for the last couple of days but they attacked the place I was at this morning and decided to make a run for it.” I replied.
“Ok keep an eye out and I’ll let you in.” He said coming to the gate and pulling some keys out of the leg pocket on his trousers.
I watched the infected bash against the fence and shuffle from side to side as he opened the gate. Opening the gate just enough for me to slip inside he closed it straight after I passed through.
“Hi my name is Marc.” I said holding my hand out to him.
“Look mate we should get out of sight before these things see us. You can tell us your life story later fucking on, ok?” He said and set off for the building.
He set a quick pace and I followed as closely as I could, all the time trying not to make too much noise. We reached the back of the building and stood in the shadows, whilst I was breathing hard he was barely out of breath. He slipped round the corner and I followed on the side of the building where some steps leading down to a green painted door. Opening the door a coppery smell hit my nose and I could see smears of blood on the tiled floor. Stepping inside behind the soldier he closed the door and we were in the
