"I'm beginning to think we were better off outside with those damn vampires."

"Maybe so, but it's too late for that now. We've got to find a way to deal with these fucks."

Red and Sin glanced around the room, hoping to spot anything they might be able to use against the zombies. A gun or even a melee weapon of some kind were nowhere in sight, but perhaps there was something in all the old barrels and crates that were stacked around the facility. Leaning up a little more, keeping his eyes on the zombies as they feasted on the rotting corpses, Red proceeded to unscrew the nozzle on the barrel in front of him to get a whiff of whatever was inside. The fumes burned his nostrils and he quickly moved back down, both to get away from the fumes and to get out of possible sight of the zombies again.

"I'm not sure what this shit is, but maybe we can use as a distraction for them if nothing else."

"A distraction? They're zombies. All they care about is eating flesh."

"If you've got a better idea, I'd love to hear it!"

Sincentius shook his head before saying, "Okay, let's say it works. What then? Are we going to run to somewhere else or are we going just piss them off before they eat us?"

"Well, I really don't want to go back the way we came from. Maybe there's another way out of this place. If we head the way those things came from, maybe we'll have better luck."

"Out of the frying pan and into the fire, huh?" Sincentius thought on it a little more though and realizing that in knowing what was waiting for the them the way they entered, but not knowing what might be waiting for them further into the facility, which may turn out to be nothing at all, perhaps Red's plan wasn't so crazy. "Okay then, let's do this. Ready when you are."

Red motioned for Sin to get closer and then, they pushed at the barrel until it tipped over, spilling its contents out onto the concrete floor. A putrid green liquid gushed out, rushing across the floor towards the group of the zombies and their snack. The zombies immediately looked up and in the direction of Red and Sin after the barrel hit the floor. Red had hoped that the liquid was corrosive and would take care of the zombies, but they were able to walk through it as it flooded over their feet.

"Shit . . . run! I think we can still make it!"

They both sprang to their feet and tried to get around the zombies to the hallway they'd come from. They did manage to make it and when Red turned his head to look behind them, he saw that whatever the toxic waste was indeed was corrosive, some kind of gas rising from the floor as the substance began to eat away at the zombie's feet, melting away the flesh and bone until they fell to their knees. Red stopped in his tracks to watch as the substance continued to eat away at their mutated bodies, crimson mixing with the green waste as they melted.

"See? It worked, no problem."

Sincentius stopped too, but not so much to watch the downed zombies as he said, "Yeah, well, I hate to rain on your parade, Red, but I think I hear more up ahead."

Turning back around, Red listened and could also hear the sounds of more approaching zombies. He and Sin began to move again, stepping into a side room to hide and hopefully find something more reliable to use against the zombies.
