Priest of Death - Part 13

***

Back to the present, on the military plane that is heading to Serbia, the military personnel are getting ready for their deployment after hours of flying on this military plane. On this plane, Alina, Lee and Klaus, and the other soldiers are prepared for deployment. All of them have taken their weapons for their mission.

As Klaus was taking from a crate an assault rifle type, a man walks toward him, is Lee, comes close to him, holding down his crossbow from the time he fought his escape from Romania, Bulgaria and Greece, and on the other hand, he has five arrows.

"Are you okay?" asks Lee to Klaus.

"Yes…" says Klaus. "I wonder… About the undead."

"What about it?"

"You wonder… Can they come back to normal…? Like Ana?"

"The same thing I asked myself the first time I have seen one in Tunisia." he says to Klaus.

A few weeks ago, Lee was on a training mission, just like other seventy volunteers, to test their skills to see if they are worth it to become soldiers who will be rewarded to remain on their selected artificial islands with homes and job. Thankfully, on that training mission, only sixty-six people have made it, other four people have been killed by zombies. And on that mission, Lee has spotted an undead who can talk and act like a human. But that undead, was one of the most dangerous things Lee has ever meet, and he managed to escape its attack at the last moment.

"After I saw Derek (the undead zombie who almost managed to kill Lee). I started to wonder if we are actually the good guys or the bad guys."

"To be honest. for me, it doesn't matter." says Klaus to Lee. "As long as I am doing my job, I don't care. All I want is to have my family safe."

Klaus has found two of its family members alive in Dortmund, his hometown, the two members are his big brother, Tudor, and middle sister, Ezra. He rescued them in a shelter where other nine survivors have locked themselves in a meat factory, and managed to survive two hordes of zombies who have invaded the said factory. From thirty only nine managed to survive two weeks inside of that factory.

The two are looking toward their commander, who is using his whistle to get attention from its soldiers.

"Listen up, people!"

Every soldier looks to the General of this mission, or commander as you would like to call it. All of the soldier, with weapons on their hands, safety on and equipped with additional mags in case they will run low on bullets to kill these meat-eating monsters. When everyone got quiet, Commander spoke to them.

"Soon we will land in Serbia. And there we will start our mission of recapturing a lost headquarters. I want all of you, the moment we will land, leave the plane, be together, and advance in group in slowly, killing ever dangerous zombie that is coming toward us." he is looking at his men. "We don't know what kind o things are there, how dangerous and how powerful compared to what you and I have seen so far. So, again, all of you, be careful. Remember, a shot in the head can kill everything."

The plane proceeds to land on an abandoned zone near the highway of Uzice, Serbia, where a plane has crashed a few days ago due to some malfunctions as it seemed. The moment the military plane has landed, the group of dozens and more soldiers are leaving the plane and proceed to advance toward the city.

"Here they come!" yells the Commander to his men as he sees hundreds of zombies running toward their direction.

The soldiers prepare their armaments and fire upon the command it was given by Commander.
