Chapter 31: Fall of crystal lake (part 10)
"Alright guys when we rip this door it will probably be loud as fuck so be ready for zombies, Alex you guys ignore the zombies and just keep loading none stop got it?" Tank says twirling his fireman's ax. "Got it, let's do this." Alex says, rubbing his hands together as Rat wraps a chain around the doors. The utility truck yanks forward ripping the gate and double doors off and sends them scraping across the ground loudly. "Get in there guys." Tank says. Once the loaders are all inside Rat backs the truck against the entrance to help keep them safe while they load. "Okay let's hope this gets done without a hitch." Tank says. Almost a minute passes until they see a curious group of zombies make their way around the corner of the gun shop closest to Tank. Rat is posted on top of the moving truck with his arrows and bow. Tank is on the Right side, Slim watches the left and Thomas the front. 3 arrows zip through the air to inspect the state of 3 zombie brains. 2 more arrows go and kill the last 2. "Remind me not to piss you off arrow boy!" Tank yells up to Rat as he jogs over to retrieve the boy's arrows and toss them up to him. "Incoming Thomas!" Rat yells as 20 zombies start coming for the nervous boy. Rat begins skillfully dropping zombies. Thomas clumsily stabs the first zombie to reach him and would have been bitten had Tank not ran over and beheaded his would be day fucker. "Get the knife back and get back in the fight you'll be okay." Tank says calmly even as he is freaking out inside. Arrows rain down on zombies. Rat notices that Slim hasn't helped and glances in his direction. 6 zombies lie dead on his side and Slim is tossing his bloody bowie knife in the air when Rat looks back to Tank and Thomas they have killed the remaining zombies and it becomes painfully apparent to Rat that everyone needs to go hunt zombies more. The 2 boys begin retrieving arrows and tossing them back to Rat before Thomas starts dragging the bodies off to the side. "Why are you doing that?" Tank asks. "So when we leave it is easier and the truck doesn't have to go over the bodies." Thomas says. Tank smiles and nods. "Good idea." Tank says as he tosses a body over either shoulder and grabs a thirds ankle to move them away. "Fuck your big!" Rat chuckles at his brother. Alex crawls out from under the truck with Jessica in tow. "Thomas swap with Jessica we need some muscle and Rat here is this!" Alex says tossing a recurve bow and a bag of arrows up to Rat. "Go Thomas we got this." Tank says, jerking his head towards the shop. Jessica also carries a recurve bow now and a quiver of arrows since she has a lot of practice with the weapon. The girl hands the other 2 boys a loaded handgun with 1 spare magazine. Riley had drilled into them, use whatever method works best for you or learn one. Tank was about to start learning how to use a gun under pressure.
Tank yanks his ax free from a zombies head and wipes blood spatter from his face. "How does Riley put up with this shit getting in his mouth and all over him?" Tank complains as he wipes the ax head. "He is just made different, kinda like this is his world and we are just along for the ride." Jessica says. "He definitely has a zombie fetish." Tank chuckles as the other 2 laugh. Tank glances under the truck at Slim. The two of them had been close since they arrived at Mrs. Shelly's group home but now he was distant and seemed off somehow. "Hey dude be glad we don't have to deal with any zombie dogs. that shit really sucks let me tell you." Rat says. "If there are zombie dogs do you think other animals become zombies?" Jessica asks. "I really hope that we don't ever have an answer to that shit but can you picture it?" Tank says, laughing his ass off. "Picture what?" Rat asks, chuckling at the giant's laugh as he dispatches a lone zombie. "A zombie penguin or like a rhino." Tank says as he retrieves the arrow for Rat. "dude you better knock on wood or something cause we would be so totally fucked if that was a thing." Rat says chuckling. "Yeah zombie rhino would not be fun." Jessica agrees. "No Jess the zombie penguin, they are too cute! How could we kill it." Rat says laughing. "True true but i'd hate to see a Zombie flock of birds." Tank says seriously. "Zombie snakes." Jessica says, shivering. Rat rubs his chin thoughtfully. "Zombie gorillas." Rat says. The others nod. "Hey Slim, why don't you talk much?" Jessica asks. "His tongue was cut out when he was 12." Rat says. Jessica's eyes widened in horror. "Do any of you boys have a good past?" she asks horrified. "Not really, I think I might be the tamest of all of us though." Tank says shrugging. "Yeah that would be a solid no story time our Titan of flesh here was molested by his mother until his father gained custody." Rat says. Jessica looks at Tank. "didn't say nicer, said tamer." the boy shrugs. "If your dad had custody, how did you wind up at the group home?" Jessica asks. "Easy dad didn't want a fagot son." Tank says putting qoutation marks in the air around fagot. "Well you talked about us Rat you gonna give the dirty on yourself?" Tank asks as he spots another lone zombie to kill. "My dad was a neo nazi and raised me lovingly on the ignorant beliefs of white superiority until he decided to kill a family of 4 for the amazing reason of they were not white, I was placed with a family and to show my appreciation set their house on fire." Rat says shrugging. "My story is the tamest id wager." Rat adds. "He forgot the being tortured by his dad with a taser and lighter fluid part." Tank says as he returns. "I was pretty messed up hell took the world ending to realize that skin color doesn't mean a thing and i gotta live with how fucked my beliefs were, gotta judge people by what they do not how they look." Rat laughs loudly again. "Took a mean punch to teach that lesson isn't that right you giant bastard?" Rat asks Tank who grins wickedly. "Damn straight little brother." Tank answers. 10 minutes go by with no problems. "Get ready guys we got incoming on Slims' side and there are a lot of them!" Rat yells. Tank and Jessica make their way over to the left side. There are around 50 zombies moving towards them. Tank rolls his mighty shoulders and grips his ax tightly. Slim leans against the truck casually as he waits for the zombies. Jessica and Rat start raining arrows down on the small horde. Tank takes a moment to appreciate Jessica's accuracy. "Damn Jessica, that is some good shooting." Tank says with a grin. "I have a really good teacher." the girl says blushing slightly. When she runs out of arrows she pulls the bow over her shoulder and draws a boot knife from her belt. Rat glances behind him at a strange noise. A large bloody creature lumbers around clumsily on 3 legs dragging a flesh striped skeletal rear leg. "Oh fuck me!" Rat yells. Rat fires 2 arrows into the side of the massive monster's head. They get stuck but don't penetrate the skull. "Guys we have a huge fucking problem!" Rat yells. "What is it Rat? we are kinda busy here!" Tank yells viciously swinging away with his ax. "Its a mother fucking zombie panda!" Rat yells as he unleashes arrows into the beast.
