(Kyosei's View)

I have thrown another grenade to the of undead trying eat the remnants of the other undead that got ripped to shreds earlier. I timed it carefully to avoid the grenade from missing.

"Hu!"

I hurled it with my might and the grenade was thrown in an arc. I did not bother too much on it as it was perfectly aimed. I pull out my AR15 once more and released another set of bullet barrage.

BOOM!

The explosion shook the ground lightly as guts and flesh flew everywhere after the horde tried to gather around. Of course, with many undead shielding the explosion, not all of the infected are affected by the explosion and will either have a few snag here and there like a torn hand or torn foot.

"Keep firing!"

"The horde is thinning out!"

Soldiers shouted here and there to ensure the morale is still high for the others. The birds randomly appears but the guys I assigned in the sniper units proved to be useful as the birds were strike dead before they can even give a single strike to the soldiers.

The horde is still overwhelming though it has literally been thinned out as you can now see that there is an end to the seemingly endless horde. I emptied one magazine of the AR15 and pulled out another magazine to reload.

Suddenly, before I even managed to reload it, an undead suddenly jumped high that it managed to pass the barricade without any difficulty!

"F*ck we are breached!"

The soldiers panicked but they still aimed into the undead below that still tried to destroy the barricade. A few tried to shot it down but it turned out swift. It has a greenish color skin and unlike the rotten looking face, it looked like it came out of horror movie with monster enemies. One soldier was grabbed by the neck and in one clean swipe, its head was severed to its body, making the soldiers horrified and panicked to those who are dealing it.

"A special infected!" I immediately concluded. There is only one thing that the normal undead and the special infected do. These special infected are proven to be more horrifying than normal undead. Seeing the special infected ripped off one of the heads of a soldier, the others attacked it by shooting it with guns but for some reason, its body seems to be made elastic since the bullets just bounce a bit before rendering useless.

The special infected dashed forward and one of the soldiers were killed and the head was also ripped off, making a gory scene. I frowned but I did not falter. I abandoned my post and held the hilt of the Wakizashi. Although I don't have any experience in quick drawing, I have seen most of the basic stance of Iajutsu (1) for me to use. I did not hesitate and dashed forward towards the infected. Of course, the special infected had already noticed me. It is still holding the severed head of one of the soldiers when it looked at me but I did not falter. I did not draw it yet as it's not time yet.

The special infected also dashed, baring its claws and sharp teeth. With a quick glance, I saw that this monster is very similar to that SCP -096(2), plus with torn clothes. I did not stop charging and when the infected drew close, I calmed my nerves and I relaxed my movements.The special infected swiped its long and sharp arms before me in a fast movement that in many people's eyes are so fast.

I had to calm down.

If I fail then everyone else will be in danger.

Everyone will die.

I gritted my teeth, I stooped low and with a quick draw from my katana, I released a quick, clean strike on its head. The undead almost scratched me but it failed though.

Su!

Death fell to the special undead before I flick the blood on my katana. The soldiers were flabbergasted by what they saw but they immediately returned to their work when I stare at them. The acting leader of the soldiers nodded and commanded.

"Focus on killing! If you spot a special infected like that one earlier, throw us a signal! Don't let yourselves die!

I rushed back to my post quickly. The longer I am away from the battle, the longer the battle will be against us if we keep on going on with this. We need to defeat these guys as soon as possible but I think it would take a few more times. I fished out my magazine that was interrupted in reloading due to the appearance of the special infected earlier. Lock and load.

These squirming undead below should never be walking on this land. One thing to do, remove them and annihilate them, because if the dead goes hungry, that means the humans are already extinct.
