== Plot ==
As Jared and John ride further out of the city, John turns on the radio to hear some music.
He turns to Jared.
"I can turn it off, if you want."
Jared shakes his head.
"It's okay. It does not bother me."- He says.
Soon, the cruiser suddenly stops.
"What happened... ?"- Jared says and looks at the window.
He sees a huge undead standing in their way as it tries to grab their car.
"What in the world?"
"Jared, get out!"- John yells.
The two of them get out of the cruiser just as the giant undead grabs it and smashes it into the ground, into a hundred pieces.
John is horrified by the sight.
"Dear god... "- Jared says as the undead turns to look at them.
It clenches it fist and prepares to land another blow.
The two boys evade it just as the undead smashes it into the ground.
"This... I have seen big undead, but I definitely have not seen anything like this!"
Jared raises his eyebrow.
"So, it's some kind of new undead?"
John nods.
"Yes. A new mutation of some kind, it seems."
He narrowly evades a punch from the giant undead.
"But now is not the time to think about that! Now, we must survive!"
Jared nods and joins John in fighting the giant undead.
"Run as fast as you can!"- John tells his friend- "The faster we run, the lower the chance for it to successfuly hit us. It may be big, but it's not fast!'
They run around the undead creature and manage to confuse it. It tries to stomp them, but to no avail.
Suddenly, an idea appears in Jared's mind.
"Stay here, John."- He says- "I will handle this."
He gets up on the giant undead's foot.
"Hey, big boy!"- He yells- "Come and get me, will you?"
The undead notices Jared on its foot and tries to stomp him with his other foot.
"Jared, look out!"- John yells as his friend is narrowly missed by the stomp and manages to get away just in time.
However, this sudden movement is not good for the huge undead. Stepping on its own foot causes it a lot of pain and it falls to the ground, groaning.
"Now!"- Jared yells and gives John his shotgun- "KIll it!"
John nods and approaches the huge, undead creature.
As it tilts its head up and tries to grab it, John shoots it point blank in the forehead, seemingly killing it.
However, when they assume that it's dead, it opens its milky eyes again and grabs Jared.
"No! Jared!"- John yells and tries to pull him out.
"Leave him alone!"
However, the undead creature does not have the intention to do so. Instead, it pushes John away with its other huge hand and tries to stand up.
Failing to do so, it simply tries to crush Jared.
"Cannot... breathe... h-help me, J-John... "- Jared stutters as he struggles to breathe.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!"- John screams, quickly gets on top of the huge, fallen undead and fires three shots into the back of its head.
The creature slumps its head against the ground and releases Jared.
John approaches the barely breathing Jared and looks at him sadly.
"Come on, buddy!"- He says- "Don't die on me! Please!"
Without a lot of other choices left, John decides to perform CPR to save his friend's life.
After doing so, he realizes that he is now breathing normally.
"Thank god!"- He says to himself- "He's alive!"
Jared opens his eyes.
"W-what h-happened... ?"
John smiles.
"We defeated the huge undead. It's gone now."
"Is it truly dead?"- Jared wonders.
John looks at it. Seeing that it is not getting up to attack them, he nods affirmatively.
"I'm positive. It's not alive anymore."- He says.
Jared sighs.
"I've got to be honest with you, John."- He says to his friend- "I've never battled anything like this before. It was on a whole new level of danger!"
John nods.
"I know. And I hope that we don't meet another one of those in the future."
He looks back at his cruiser.
"But now, it seems like we have to find a new car. The undead smashed ours."
"Curses... "- Jared mutters- "Well, let's get along with it."
Jared and John desperately look around for another car. Their search leads them back to the police station from earlier.
They find a single police cruiser left.
"Now this is some good luck!"- Jared says.
John starts the engine and nods approvingly.
"And it's in very good condition!"- He adds.
The boys drive the cruiser back to the site where the old cruiser was destroyed and pick up whatever is left of the supplies- mostly the non-perishable foods, water and the intact weapons that haven't been destroyed by the blast.
They look back one last time at the huge undead that they killed earlier.
"Well, there's nothing left to stop us from getting out."- John says.
He turns to Jared.
"Shall we?"
Jared nods approvingly.
"Get us out of here as soon as possible!"- He says.
"Sir, yes sir!"- John exclaims and drives quickly away from the site, eager to get away from this mess as soon as possible.
