CHAPTER EIGHT

Hundreds of zombies were packed around the front of the small home like sardines as a constant stream of gunfire erupted from the windows. Landry, Trenton and Reed manned them, firing at point blank range as the zombies pressed against it.

The bay window in the front living room shattered under the weight of the creatures, and they toppled inside, tripping over one another.

“They’re inside!” Trenton screamed, and all three men broke away from their stations to focus on the breach.

Landry quickly shot the few that had fallen in, and Trenton took the ones in the window still scrambling to get inside. Reed rushed over to the couch and grabbed the coffee table, darting forward to press it against the zombie in the center.

It struggled to break free and get inside, but Reed shoved back, wriggling the table left and right, keeping the corpses from steady footing to get inside. Trenton fired a few more shots, creating enough of a pile of slumped over zombies as a protective wall.

“Whatever we’re doing, we’d better do it quickly,” Reed demanded, holding the table up over the wall to try to plug the hole.

Landry approached and pressed his hands against the table as well to help out, and Trenton ran to the back door to peer out.

“Heard you boys could use some backup,” Hammond’s voice came through the radio.

Landry lifted his walkie talkie to his mouth. “It’s about goddamn time, Sergeant!” he snapped. “We’re about to get overrun in here!”

“Well, we’re gonna light them up from our end,” Hammond replied. “You boys may want to make your way to the exit.”

Landry tilted his head towards the back of the house. “Trenton, how are we looking?” he yelled.

Trenton studied the back window, noting the handful of zombies that had wandered around the house into the backyard.

He strode back into the living room. “If we’re going to move, we should do it now,” he declared. “Only a few of them back there, but don’t know for how long.”

“Sarge, we are on the move,” Landry said into the radio. “Light these fuckers up!”

Reed stood on his tiptoes and peered over the top of their lineup, watching Clara stand up on the back of the truck. She gave the water gun a few pumps and then unleashed a stream of liquid fire that coated a large number of zombies. The flames quickly spread, engulfing dozens.

“Holy shit we gotta move!” Reed exclaimed, and he and Landry broke away from the coffee table barrier. It fell, and zombies flopped over into the house, but the three men tore through to the back door into the yard.

The few zombies milling about immediately turned their attention towards them, and the trio quickly pulled their handguns and took them down with systematic precision.

“Come on, we gotta circle back to the school and hit the next house,” Landry said.

Reed took a deep breath. “Oh good, only ten more runs of this and we’ll be good to go.”

“That’s the spirit!” Landry grinned, and clapped him on the back.
