The hallway where the strike team was turned into a bloodbath rather quickly. There was no conversation, no debate among the Commandos. The things coming for them were hostile and deserved no mercy or pity. And the team was quick to dispatch them, rifles at the ready, the hallway becoming alight with the sound of gunfire.
Bodies were dropped at an alarming rate.
But they kept coming. And they didn't respond to the usual tactics- only severely damaging their bodies or shooting them in the head seemed to do the trick. The Strike team was simply underprepared for this... threat.
The Veteran of the group, Stran, and two others were overwhelmed first. Their weapons were ripped away, the infected grabbing at the bodies, pulling them into the horde. Stran screamed a war cry while he was essentially ripped apart, bitten into. Fenn could only watch in horror, helplessly picking off the infected that came his way. Stran watched the other two lifeless bodies around him be ripped apart.
Stran looked towards Fenn and the other Commandos, before reaching to his webbing. Fenn watched it happen, as if time slowed. He saw the fear in his eyes, his helmet ripped away by the infected. Stran tried to reach for it with his free hand, but it too, was bitten into, ripped at and clawed at. He screamed, grabbing onto his helmet, weakly wrapping his hand around it. He pulled it close to his chest, and looked up at Fenn.
He seemed to look apologetic in his last moments.
Right before he activated the thermal detonator.
The concussive blast sent Fenn and several other Commandos flying back, but evaporated most of the infected around the three now deceased and largely gone Commandos. Stran himself disappeared in the blast, being at the center. The hallway lights flickered, a power surge from the amount of energy the thermal detonator put into the exposed electrical wires. Fenn barely had time to register the loss- an infected came up, trying to straddle him. Panicking, he braced the infected with his knee, felt him scratch at his body- before Fenn dug the Disruptor pistol into the scientist's ribcage, and blew out his lungs and heart, and most of his spine, with a single shot. Scrambling to his feet, Fenn picked up his rifle, and reconvened with the remaining Strike Team members.
They had now a single objective:
Run like hell.
