17 Dropping Some Magazine Knowledge (2/2)

5... 4... 3... 2... 1... The group counted down silently.

Cargo planes began flying over them, and boxes began dropping down again.

Since it was already 9 PM, it was quite difficult to see the crates and where they were heading until they were just dozens of meters above the ground.

”Oh f*ck!” Immediately reacting to the huge shadows over their head, the group finally noticed that four crates were coming directly towards them.

Perhaps the system already detected how many weapons and ammunition the group had, three crates immediately dropped into their backyard and front yard, barely missing their house, with one more in their neighbours. With the door of the crates opening, the zombies charged straight out and immediately began climbing the house, as if they already knew the survivors' location before they landed.

”F*ck! Open fire! Use single shot mode and conserve bullets!” Jay shouted as he fired the opening shot. From each crate, the group saw about two dozens of zombies coming out. With a rough estimate, with three crates of immediate threat and one more crate of zombies in the neighbouring yard climbing over, they were up against 96 zombies.

They each had about 10 clips of 30 rounds each in their bags, so ammunition wasn't the problem but reloading could be. In addition, with so many zombies climbing up toward them from all sides, the group became more anxious, eventually starting to panic.

The zombies were mainly coming from their front yard's direction since two crates landed there, but over 20 zombies were also climbing up from their backyard direction onto the ceiling, and the crateful of zombies that landed on their neighbour's property were also climbing over the fences, quickly approaching the group from the right side of the house.

Elon started sniping the side, trying to annihilate the zombies as they were making their way over the fence; Christian was covering the rear of the roof, switching between the shotgun and MPX to fend off the zombies; Jay and Alex were both covering the front since two crates dropped in their front yard and it was also easier to climb up to the roof from the front.

Due to the pressure and dark environment, the group on average had to pump at least 3 to 5 bullets into the zombies before they could get a fatal headshot to put the target down for good. Christian and Elon were able to hold their ground against the zombies coming in from the side and backside, but Jay and Alex were experiencing great difficulty, as the zombie crowd continued to advance their ground, inching their way towards the rooftop.

Very soon, the situation became dire for the group.
