Chapter eleven

“I can hear the van,” whispered Dave as the six men crouched behind the wall in the pub carpark. Horn blaring, the van slowly drove into the village square and stopped outside the church gate. All of the zombies crowding around the church slowly turned and started moving towards it.

“It’s working,” Dave whispered excitedly, “they’re moving.”

Marc waited until the leading zombies were banging against the rear of the van, before slowly starting to drive off. The noise from the horde grew in excitement at the prospect of the fresh meat they sensed was hiding in the metal box that was making a loud noise. As Marc slowly drove past the wall the others were hiding behind, the group of six barely dared to breath, let alone move, in case they inadvertently distracted the crowd. It took over five minutes before the groans and growls receded into the distance, still following the blaring horn and revving engine of the van.

“Ian,” said Dave, “take the lead. Let’s not change the system. There could still be a few stragglers left behind.” Ian cheerfully replied, “Cheers, matey. Right then, let me have a peek around the corner and then we can be heroes and rescue everyone.” He crept to the corner and looked around it.

“Shit! About twenty of them haven’t followed the van. They’re still hanging around the main door. Are you ready, boys? There are only six of us now and two haven’t got any armour for protection.”

“Don’t worry about us,” Bob told him, “we’re trained in crowd control, and my lad could be in there. Let’s go and do this.”

“Okay, follow my lead and watch our flanks, we could easily get surrounded. Don’t take chances, because you only get one of those. Jon, this is the first time you’ve done this, so stay in the centre of the shield wall and do what we do. Geoff and I will take the outer edges to give us room to swing.”

Jon raised his shield and rested his hand axe on his shoulder. “No problem, spadge.”

The four formed a shield wall and with the two baseball-bat-wielding policemen behind, they stepped out from behind the wall and walked towards the church through the lynch gate in the wall surrounding the cemetery.

The man on the steeple starting shouting and waving as soon as he saw them appear.

“Over here, help us, we’re trapped.”

Ian muttered, “Bloody idiot, what else does he think we’re doing? Well, at least he’s keeping the zombies’ attention on him.” The zombies’ attention was still focused on the door and the man shouting from above them.

Walking as stealthily as their armour would allow, they crept up behind the twenty or so zombies.

“On three, boys,” Ian whispered.

“One, two, THREE!” Ian swung his axe at the nearest zombie’s neck. The swing was so powerful it took the head clean off that one, and ended up wedged in the neck of the one next to it. He kicked it away to free the blade, pushing it back into the others who, after Ian’s shout, were starting to turn towards them.
