Deep in the forest, a horde of biters was approaching the camp dangerously; by the looks of it, there were a hundred of them, maybe more, for the mass of undead that was drawing near was so dense Comparable to a swarm of human-sized insects
Growling sounds could be heard in the distance, just as loud and terrifying; a confrontation was inevitable.
On the turret, Kodji and Elie were the first to realize the situation; they had to act quickly, otherwise the consequences would be terrible.
Before Kodji could sound the alarm, someone from the neighboring tower did so in his place; the situation in the camp changed rapidly, everyone took up arms and gathered in the courtyard.
In such a situation, precautions needed to be taken, but he didn't have time to organize properly; the undead would be at the camp in less than ten minutes. Ten minutes was far too short a time to prepare, as it was necessary to get the children to safety, distribute the weapons, and protect the supplies and first-instance materials.
Kodji and Elie had already climbed down from the turret when Carin and the other council members arrived at the scene.
"Get ready, we need to keep them away from the gate. If they get in, we're done for. The turret guards should already be firing. Grab your melee weapons and kill anything that gets near the gate."
They wasted no time in carrying out the orders, and gunfire was already ringing out from above as the undead fell one by one; despite everything, it was not enough.
Something was definitely wrong. Usually, the Undead act without thinking, moving en masse and attacking at a single point, causing a crowd to gather. However, in their case, it was different.
They act according to a strategy; instead of blindly following the rest of the undead to the portal, some attacked The two main turrets overlapped each other to create a ladder of walking corpses.Those inside the turrets were already cornered after 5 minutes; the undead were getting dangerously close to the tops of the turrets, and if they were to fall The camp would lose its only offensive weapon. ,
The situation was turning into a nightmare, and the corpses near the portal were piling up very quickly. Fatigue was already setting in for the humans, but as if that weren't enough, the mountain of corpses It was already serving as a springboard to cross the portal; one managed to cross but was shot down before hitting the ground.
As the minutes passed, the situation became increasingly uncontrollable; just as everyone was considering fleeing, a figure slipped behind them.And took some things from the weapons compartment.
"what is....!!"
It was Kodji; he had a grenade in his mouth, and in his right hand Two fragmentation grenades
"First, we need to break the mass; for that, we have explosives."
He headed towards the nearest turret and climbed without losing a second; despite being cornered, he maintained his pace and managed, as best he could, to protect the tower.
And they did it to the very end. But just as he was about to give up, a hand appeared on the opposite side of the tower; it was their ally Kodji!
"Get out of the way, it's going to blow up!"
He stepped forward to the group and removed the pin from the grenade he had in his mouth; with a sure hand, he threw it exactly where it was needed. And a few seconds later, a loud noise followed by an intense light appeared in a fraction of a second. After it exploded, the human-like structure that had formed scattered in all directions, along with pieces of flesh, entrails, and some limbs; it was quite a macabre sight.
"gotcha!!"
However, he did not rest on his laurels; he took a second grenade from his hand and threw it again, this time in the direction of the neighboring tower. Once again, body parts flew in all directions, shattering the morbid strategy of these bastards.
"Very good, and one last one for the road."
He took the last one he had brought back, but this time its purpose wasn't to explode. He aimed for the very center; once he did, powerful flames devoured the corpses, knocking them down one by one under the blast of the incendiary grenade.
The camp had finally regained the advantage; they quickly counter-attacked, firing as much as possible to blow their enemy's brains out; their numbers were dwindling one by one.Even if a few managed to get in, they were quickly neutralized.
After several minutes of intense fighting, the danger had passed. Joy and relief were palpable on everyone's side, and the craziest thing was that they hadn't suffered any losses.
But just as he was beginning to rejoice at having escaped death once again, a new wave was already approaching, and this time their numbers were far greater.
