This wasnt supposed to happen. When did the smart infected ready those trees? Its impossible to cut down trees that quickly even with a chainsaw. They had to have been precut, ready to be toppled over at a monts notice. How many more are going to fall over? The fifth one is showing signs of falling. Is it tall enough to crush the fence too?
Lift the tree; get the people underneath out of there!
The chief was the one giving orders. Keith was supposed to do that as the leader of the hunters, but he was crushed by the falling tree. We were in the perfect position for the tree to fall on us. It was packed and crowded and impossible to escape with all the people in the way. At least ten people were caught. We tried lifting the tree when it first fell, but then the second tree fell and hit the first one, pushing it forward. The people underneath were unfortunate. Luckily, their camouflage clothes were thick; otherwise, they wouldve turned into at crayons when they slid against the ground.
At least the tree wasnt thick. It was only long. If we were in California or sothing and these trees happened to be the famous redwoods, things mightve been different. Then again, if they were redwoods, the smart infected might not have been able to cut them down. Im not sure what these trees are called, but they vaguely sll like pineapples. Lifting it off the people were crushed wasnt too hard once we had enough hands around. But that was all we could do. We couldnt push it over the fence to stop the infected from using it like a bridge to cross the moat. If all of us held onto the tree, no one would be left behind to attack the infected. They were almost here.
The fifth tree fell by the ti Edward ca back. He had run up the tree with Scott to stop the smart infected, but it looks like it didnt go so well. Scott was lying at the boss of the hill with an arrow inside of him. Rember what Eric said about it having a bow? It was really fucking good with it. No wonder why those three died when they confronted it. If they were sitting in the trees, thered have been no way for them to dodge.
It doesnt seem like well be able to kill the smart infected before the herd gets here, the chief said. For now, the plan doesnt change. Even if the trees cover the moat, only so many infected can pass at a ti. Well be able to kill them as they co. Dont waste your arrows on the infected up there anymore; aim for the ones coming at us.
A sixth tree fell with a crash, crushing another portion of the fence. Thankfully, people shouted to get out of the way, and no one was hurt this ti. Unfortunately, if the infected really did use the trees as bridges, thered be no fence to stop them. The trees acted as a bridge directly into the garrison. However, infected werent that nimble. I havent seen any raise their legs higher than their waists, so whether or not they could climb onto the trees, only ti could tell, but I did know that no matter how dumb the infected may be, they wouldnt walk into the moat unless there was fresh blood at the bottom. And the garrison was all out of fresh blood.
A seventh tree fell. It landed on the six other trees and pushed them down and forward, further into the garrison. It rolled along the tree trunks, using them as a ramp. But since it fell at an angle, it slid off and fell to the side before it could reach the fence. The infected herd had entered firing range, and the archers were using their arrows quite liberally, but they werent killing as many as they shouldve been.
Yo, what the hell? Eric never ntioned anything about this in his report.
The infected herd had armor protecting their heads. It wasnt really armor, but it seed good enough. They had pots and plates and bowls tied against their scalps with ribbons of cloth. So even had motorcycle helts. Did the smart infected do this? Though the infected had entered firing range, it was the maximum effective range of the bows. With their rinky-dink, makeshift armor, the arrows were glancing off and not as effective. The infected have to co a little closer to really be in killing range.
This smart infected may be a lot smarter than we thought, the chief said, but if it really had complete control over the herd, I doubt it wouldve allowed us to manipulate them towards us. Hold off on the arrows until you think you can kill them. An arrow should pierce a plate or bowl with ease once they co close enough.
Another tree fell, but it barely did anything. It didnt even cover the moat. The infected herd ca into closer, and a few confident archers took their shots. A few infected fell over, but their bodies barely hindered the ones behind them. Like water, the herd split and went around the fallen infected before reforming. More and more archers took their shots, and the sound of arrows and infected hitting the ground filled the air. The trees seed to have stopped falling too. What was the smart infected up to if not cutting down trees? It was standing at the top of the hill, which was more like a small cliff, with a bow in its hands and an arrow pointed directly at us.
Get down!
Right when I shouted, the infected fired its arrow. I dropped down and curled up into a ball. A person who was standing next to scread. Our arrows werent able to do any damage to the smart infected since they lost montum while traveling up, but since the infected was shooting down at us, its arrows were helped by gravity instead. It can shoot us, but we cant shoot it. What kind of bullshit is this?
