Chapter 4

Second Wave

An onslaught that started an hour or two after noon, raged on till the skies darkened. Night was upon Haven 20, and although they had succeeded in decimating the horde down to the last hundred. They could easily be picked off one after the other by the snipers stationed in the trees. But that was too dangerous a call seeing as the zombies were more sensitive at night and there were bound to be bands of zombies prowling the area. The slightest sound would tip them off, and that would be another prolonged battle. Knowing that they were low on ammo, the senior amongst the team captains ordered for a strike team instead. Those who were good with close combat using swords, would go out for a clean up of the remaining zombies whilst rescuing those trapped in the camouflaged trenches.

"The archers can't see shit in this darkness, turn on the lights" he bellowed at some soldiers stationed below the archers' platform. These hurriedly ran around, flipping on switches that lit up gigantic floodlights that oversaw the entrance of the outpost. The zombies twitched at the sudden illumination, but soon resumed their idle scraping on the outpost's gates.

"Very well then," the Captain said and continued addressing his men who were scattered into different clusters before him.

"We need to go out there and finish the job soldiers. Those birdies need to be taken out as silently as possible, before we risk another shit storm" he told his men at the outpost. The scrapings of the zombies could still be heard on the gates of the outpost.

Jason who had been watching for an opportunity to bail out of the haven, broke off his whispering with Ben and focused on the Captain.

All through the battle, he had waited for the right moment to double back into the haven. But that moment never came. He had no idea about the security posted around the fence surrounding the haven, and Ben whom he knew would have an idea, was pinned down with reloading the soldiers in his team. The pot bellied man hardly got a breathing space all through the battle, and even as they spoke, he could tell that Ben wouldn't be able to make the escape that night. His exhaustion had him sprawled on the floor.

"As you can see, we've lost a lot of men tonight, and we still have others trapped in the trenches outside the haven" the Captain was saying,

"I'll need volunteers while the archers try their best to clear the area."

Jason watched as the men kept mute looking at one another. No one was willing to take the risk. The zombies were more active at night, and although the sound of swords would hardly draw in more zombies, there was no telling if more zombies hadn't closed in on the area with the prolonged noise of gunshots.

"I'll go" Jason chipped in, his hand had shot into the air. He watched as all eyes turned to him in disbelief, even Ben had sat up in shock.
