The street was cluttered with wrecked vehicles, fallen masonry from the surrounding buildings and the bodies of the dead. Luckily none of these bodies were moving. You stay low and hidden in a ruined building and wait silently just to be sure. You think to yourself I have to make it to the safety of the dock. There I can take a boat and escape this damned city.
You check with the other survivors and get an all clear to move out. Quickly you jump through a window and into the street as the others follow, weapons at the ready. You move as quickly as you can down the rubble strewn street. As you approach an intersection, you hear the familiar sound of shots from an autogun from around the corner. You peek around the corner and see a man running towards you, turning behind him to shoot at the zombies chasing him.
You and your group come around the corner and start firing your weapons at the zombies to help the man escape. He is startled by your group but smiles nervously at you, then turns and fires his autogun at the zombies.
One zombie falls to the ground as the other eight continue to close with your group. Too many of them to take in close combat you think, so you call for your group to break off. As you lead the way, the newest member thanks you for your help.
I have to make it to the docks you think to yourself again...
