    On the small base at Samara, the soldiers are on their positions, preparing the weapons for the upcoming horde of zombies who are at almost five kilometres from their base, they got this information from a helicopter who was flying by that direction. This helicopter got sent by the Headquarters from one of the artificial islands near Holland for a resupply mission that consisted into ammunition, defensive gear and food.


    "What a coincidence, friend, right?" asks Chris mounting a new machine gun on a new zone, at the sixth floor of a building who once was used as one of these where workers get into in and manage the life on an app from App Store or play store.


    "Sure is." says Ronald taking from a box a grenade launcher, walks about six meters, and he mounts it on a barricade made by desks. He used all of the furniture pieces they could find to made said "barricades" to support their heavy guns.


    In order to mount the grenade launcher, Ronald has to do it by using a gear made specially for this who will attach the thing to anything. It has the same mechanism as a regular machine guns from video games shooters, but it is more effective to hold a grenade launcher with ten grenades stored at maximum.


    And to make it efficient when reloading will come, Ronald puts next to him three things that look like cylinder flutes, but for grenade launchers.


    After he has done this, Ronald is looking down, observing the area where the attack will start. Down there he sees a few soldiers who are working their hardest to make an efficient wall by using guns, other soldiers are putting the wired fences they got from the soldiers who owned the base first plus the three crates who were sent by the higher ups from the Haga Headquarters. He also sees a few soldiers mounting mortars from the interior of the base, mounts guns to base walls and some were already taking their positions.


    The base has about almost ninety soldiers, all ready to annihilate the entire horde who is coming at a relatively normal speed to their base.


    "We are going to demolish them." says Ronald looking down with a smile.


    "Demolish?" asks Chris who just finished mounting his machine gun. "More likely bloodbath."


    "Finished?"


    "Yep. you?"


    "Yes."


    "Alright. So. We have to wait."


    And wait so they did for the next hour.

    A few minutes later, on the road to the base, the small group of survivors is walking on the street, all of them slashing every zombie who was about to rise up from their slumber. Even sister of Ebba, Edla. Even though she didn''t do more than hitting the head of a zombie with a golf club, but it did not kill it, only put him down, only to raise up later, and be killed by her skilled sister.


    "Guys." says Artur after he stabbed the head of a zombie with a knife, and he hears an explosion from a distance. "Did you hear that?"


    "Of course, yes." says Charly running to him. "We have to run." he looks everywhere and sees all of the zombies raising up, and some group of zombies who were hiding at a big distance coming up and walk towards where the explosion come from.


    All of the survivors see the zombies rising up. All of the zombies are walking towards the explosion, and the rest of the four group, not hearing the explosion, they run towards where the source of explosion was coming for. Artur and Charly on the other hand, they ran with the rest of their groups to the explosion.


    This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.


    After three minutes of intense running, the group gathers at the place near the explosion, and there, they see something they make all of them terrified, In front of them is a zombie who measures about two meters tall, he has big arms, and he is holding the corpse of a dead human. It can be seen he is human because he doesn''t have skin colour some other zombies are having, like grey, green, black-grey or greenish.


    That enormous monstrosity, is turning his back to the survivors who got close to him, and he roars in their direction. That roar was loud enough to even make a few zombies who were near him, to fall down, shake uncontrollably and almost make their heads explode. The survivors were all putting their arms on their ears, and running away from that enormous zombie. The huge thing decides to throw that body to the direction where the survivors are running.


    Fortunately, the corpse did not hit any survivors. He splashed on the impact of a building, making all of his organs and bones flies across the area, landing either on the ground, or on car wreckages or in a corpse. The group is running into a building with a metallic door, upon arriving there, Artur, Sigurd and Charly are closing it, and block it with any heavy furniture piece they found. They know this will not hold the huge creature, but it can hold the small zombies.


    All three of them are carrying a metallic table, weighting almost one hundred kilograms. They put the table there, and after that, they put a stove and a freezer used to store meat products and ice. Ebba realizes this building used to be either something used for food making or just a room of a house, who is somehow still standing.


    After blocking the door, the group realizes the other side of this building is having a gigantic hole, which all of them are quickly felling the need to slap their heads, but seeing they have no time, they run through the hole, and on a straight direction, trying to avoid the monstrous size zombie who is slowly walking to their direction.


    The survivors are running without looking back, all holding their fire weapons if a zombie would get too close to them. All of the survivors, besides Edla, who still holds her golf club, and feeling frightened.


    As the group was running, something strange has happened, but they will notice that only when they are going to arrive at the base. The group was running ahead, not noticing one of their members of the group got tackled and pinned by a zombie. That member of the group is Edla, who is attacked by a zombie by the Jumper type. Her sister was much more focused on running to their destination, and not looking back to her sister who was using her golf club to stop the zombie from trying to dig his head into her chest and eat the organs.


    The woman was doing her best, and she manages to push the zombie aside with her golf club. She quickly gets on her feet, and smashes the thing''s head with the golf club. With only one head, the creature did not die. But the second, was strong enough to put the Jumper down.


    Edla breathes heavily, and she is looking proud at the achieved she just made. She killed her first Jumper. She cries happily tears and was about to turn around to her group, but before she could do anything, a gigantic hand grabs her head, making her freeze, and crying sad tears.


    Behind her, there lays the gigantic creature with big hands, who holds her head like a human holding a rotten tomato who is about to squash it. The zombie then, with a strong impulse, he squashes the head of Edla, who was about to yell the name of her sister. The grip was so strong, the base skull turned into dust, and the brain of her tuned into liquid.


    The body of Edla falls on the ground, and the thing takes it on the other hand. He then throws the body of the killed girl to the direction where the team of now four survivors were running. The body flies at a high speed, passing the group, and landing at about one hundred meters distance into the street, on a car wreckage.


    "The thing has just thrown something at us!" says Artur running with the group, and not stopping a bit from running.


    Sigurd took a look back, and he saw the huge zombie, sitting on his ass, and licking the hand where lays the head of Edla. Then, he looks at his group, and realizes Edla is not there. But he did not tell the group this, he only told them.


    "Keep running. We are getting there!"


    The group continues to run for the following minutes, until they get at an intersection, which they are taking the left turn, and there they can see from far, a gigantic wall, made by car wreckages and any other hard objects.


    "It''s there!" yells Artur to his friends. "We are almost there!"


    The group continues to run from the waves of zombies who are approaching them at a fast and also slow speed. But from that swarm of the zombie, there wasn''t the gigantic zombie from earlier, because that gigantic one, he is enjoying the head of the young female survivor who just got killed so brutally.
