While the group was immersed in grief, they suddenly heard a loud roar beneath the building.
One soldier walked over the edge of the rooftop and stared at the situation below. "Holy sh*t!" He cried out in alarm when he saw hundreds of zombies surrounding the building. The most shocking thing was that the giant zombie from earlier was still alive. Its body was covered in injuries and a huge portion of its chest was a bloody mess.
"What happened?" The others also looked over and when they saw the zombies below, they were terrified.
"They must have been attracted by the explosion." The fat researcher said while adjusting the rim of his glasses.
"Indeed. I noticed that these zombies are very sensitive to noise and they also possess a keen sense of smell. Soon, they will find us here." The old researcher said with furrowed eyebrows.
The words of the researchers made the soldiers frown. Their team leader was dead and they were almost out of bullets. Furthermore, they were trapped on the rooftop of the building with only a day of rations left.
"Let's contact the headquarters!" Gerald muttered as he grabbed his communication device.
"*Ghhhzzzzzttt!* This is Gerald from Cebu Rescue Unit Squad! We need support here! We are surrounded by hundreds of zombies! I repeat! We need support ASAP!" Gerald and the others could only pin their hopes on the support team sent by the headquarters. Earlier, their team leader said that the headquarters already sent a backup team on their way, but their situation was urgent now and they didn't have time to wait.
"Support is coming to your location! They will be there in twenty minutes! Just hold out until then and ensure the safety of the researchers!" That was the reply he got from the headquarters.
Gerald's face turned ashen, but there was nothing he could do. "Twenty minutes?"
Rooooaaarrr!!!
The commotion beneath the building intensified and they could already hear the zombies going up the building.
"Gerald, they are almost here!" A soldier reported.
Gerald headed to the stairs with a stern look. "They are almost here. Quick! Find something to block the stairs! We must hold out for twenty minutes! We can escape from here once they arrive!"
The group quickly went into action. They grabbed anything they could find and threw them towards the stairs to provide a blockade.
Soon, the zombies were getting close to them. They could tell from the sound of their growling and heavy footsteps.
"Take out your weapons!" Gerald shouted as he aimed his rifle towards the door.
The three soldiers aimed their weapons at the door, their faces stern and cold. Meanwhile, the two researchers were holding blunt weapons to protect themselves.
Suddenly, there were loud banging sounds on the door.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
"They are here!" Gerald tightly held the handle of his gun. His finger was ready to pull the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The banging sounds on the door intensified as the zombies tried to break it open. Indentations appeared on the surface of the door and from the looks of it, it was already close to its breaking point.
BANG!
The door was smashed open and the first thing they saw was the bloody giant zombie. Its face was filled with human-like rage and the veins on its arms protruded.
"Fire!" Gerald shouted as he pulled the trigger.
Ratatatattatata!!!
Ratatattatatata!!!
The soldiers fired at the giant zombie since it was the most threatening for the group.
The giant zombie lifted its arms and shielded its head from their bullets. It also charged wildly at them while roaring ferociously.
Rooooaaarrr!!!
"Spread out!" Gerald shouted to the group as he took out a grenade from his belt. He then pulled the pin and shouted while throwing the grenade towards the giant zombie. "Take cover!"
The others quickly understood what he was planning and they all dove into the ground while covering their head.
The grenade flew over to the giant zombie and to Gerald's shock, it actually swatted the grenade into the air with a swipe of its hand.
BOOOOM!!
The grenade exploded above them.
"What the hell is this thing?!" Gerald cursed as he raised his rifle.
Ratatatattata!!
While Gerald was holding off the giant zombie, the other soldiers eliminated the normal zombies that entered the rooftop.
"I can't hold off this motherf*cker for long!" Gerald shouted as he gritted his teeth.
The soldiers heard his words, but they were too busy dealing with the other zombies. Even the two researchers were forced to take action, occasionally smashing the heads of the zombies that went closer to them.
Tocotocotocotocotocotco!!
Everyone turned their gazes when they heard the sound of a helicopter approaching.
They saw two black helicopters flying towards them.
"Support is here! Just hold on, everyone!" Gerald shouted with glowing eyes.
Everyone's eyes flashed with hope when they saw the assault helicopters.
Gerald momentarily lost focus and the giant zombie managed to punch him, sending him flying like a ragdoll.
"Arghh!!!" He grunted in pain after rolling over a few times. His left shoulder was hanging weirdly, indicating that he had dislocated a bone.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
"Gerald!" Everyone cried out when they saw him being thrown away with a single punch.
Gerald struggled to get up. He raised his head and saw the giant zombie slowly walking towards him. Its eyes were filled with madness.
After getting close to him, the giant zombie lifted its arm and sent another punch towards him.
"Gerald, look out!"
'No!' Gerald wanted to get up, but he felt weak all over his body. He could only watch as the huge fist at his face.
A figure suddenly dropped down from the sky and smashed into the body of the giant zombie, crushing it into the ground.
Gerald covered his eyes from the dust and rubble.
"Are you alright?" He heard an unfamiliar voice speaking to him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a man with blonde hair and a towering physique standing on top of the giant zombie's body.
