Returning to the Shelter

"Will they be alright?" Arianne asked while looking at the opposite building. 

Everyone could still hear gunshots and the collective growling of the zombies. They couldn't see anything so the situation was still unclear. 

Brandon shook his head gravely and replied. "I'm not sure. From my estimates, the zombies here have reached over a thousand in numbers and there are only about twenty or so soldiers. Even if they are part of the Special Forces, they might not be able to handle that many zombies." 

His words made everyone worried. The soldiers were their only hope to escape this zombie-infested city. If they failed, the group might no longer have the chance to escape. 

The battle raged on for over twenty minutes, but the intensity of the gunfire didn't change. The group also heard grenades exploding a few times which made them think that maybe the soldiers were struggling to go down the building.
