The next morning Gabriel was in the garage working on the remains of the truck he had used to make his sword. There wasn't much material left but for what he wanted to do was enough. Oscar had taken a break from his job as the assistant of Michi and approached him curiously.
Oscar: What are you making?
Gabriel: A short spear, the corridors of that place are quite narrow and I need something that has perforating damage to kill the zombies that are there. Since I don't have much time for practice, I chose one of the easiest weapons to use in history.
Oscar: What kind of creature will we be facing?
Gabriel: Remember when you kill an infected person but you don't take off the Hell Crystal after 24 hours? I call them Redheads.
Oscar: Yes, they are a real nuisance until you realize that your new weak point is the heart.
Gabriel: How did you find that out?
Oscar: I try several vital points to find the right one, also that was a good opportunity to practice my aim. By the way what is the name of that big guy you killed in the square?
Gabriel: He doesn't have a name, do you want to give him one?
Oscar: Fine what do you think of "Beater" because he beat the shit out of you.
Gabriel: Harsh but true, I like it.
After an hour Gabriel had finally finished his weapon. A short spear of 2 meters long, light and practical, this had a piece of horizontal metal between the spearhead and the shaft. The purpose of this was so that the weapon not only served to perforate but also to push, which would be essential to deal with the task before them. Michi approached curious as any cat to observe the crafts.
Scrap Short Spear

One of the simplest weapons in the history of mankind. Even a Neanderthal could use to defend himself.
Michi: That looks to bland for you.
Gabriel: I would paint him a dragon but I don't plan on using it much.
After that the trio began to prepare everything to leave that base, Gabriel felt some nostalgia to leave his old apartment but it was what he had to do. They loaded their backpacks with basic supplies, mounted their bicycles and finally left that building.
The road to the house they were looking for was quite calm but there was a strange detail. One of the streets that they passed was full of very large holes in the pavement, as if something the size of an elephant had passed by and somehow managed to leave its footprints melted in the ground.
Oscar: What the hell. . .
Michi: I don't detect any infected.
Gabriel: Surely it is an infected elephant, they are somewhat slow but I find it strange that it passes through an area so far from a zoo.
After an hour of travel they finally reached a fairly common house, on the way they killed several random zombies but nothing relevant.. If it weren't for Gabriel's knowledge it would be impossible to know the secret that it contained at first sight.
They quickly forced the lock on the front door and enter the deserted house. The trio came to the living room, Gabriel picked up a painting from a wall and behind it there was a touch screen. After entering the password and swiping the card through a sensor that had one of the walls opened revealing a secret elevator. The group entered this and began to descend into the bowels of the earth. Tension could be felt in the air as they descend and Oscar decided to break the silence.
Oscar: So we aim to the heart?
Gabriel: Shot through the heart.
Michi: And you're to blame.
The duo stared at Oscar waiting for him to finish the verse but the veteran had no idea what they were trying to do.
Oscar: What. . . . .? I will take that as a yes.
Gabriel: Well that didn't work out as I had planned.
Michi: Better luck next time.
Oscar: I don't understand those modern references.
Michi: The song is about 35 years old.
Oscar: Sorry, I'm not a music nerd like you guys.
Finally, the elevator stopped, and they were in what it seemed to be the reception of that underground fortress. The secret bunker seemed to be half finished, its interior still needed more work, exposed cables, unpainted walls and a number of half-finished details adorned the narrow corridors. Luckily the lights worked, so they could move forward without much trouble until Michi exclaimed.
Michi: I detected. . .60 unidentified infected throughout the installation !.
Gabriel: Relax, now we have the terrain in our favor.
They advanced cautiously and soon found themselves with walls painted with dried blood and decorated with bullet holes, it seemed that a rather bloody battle had taken place there. Soon several extremely unusual infected began to appear walking slowly to the position of the group.
The Redheads are easy to distinguish because of their head. When the head of an infected is destroyed Gehenna is forced to reform it in order to revive its host. From the neck down they seem to be a skeletal person and even the characteristics of the variations had disappeared. A pulsating mass of a semi-liquid substance like blood that had the double size of a normal head crowned the neck of these abominations. The head had huge fragments of a crimson crystal where the mouth should be creating giant gleaming jaws. Thanks to this the zombie was able to tear off a limb with a single bite without any problem.
Gabriel quickly came forward with his spear holding a defensive line while Oscar used his bow to kill these beasts from a safe distance. Thanks to Michi's radar they were able to avoid being cornered by the dozens of zombies that swarmed these facilities. The narrow corridors acted in their favor as large groups were impossible to form and the corpses that were piled on the floor form create a natural barricade. One after another they managed to kill the last infected.

Now that they had some free time they went to rescue the person they had come for. They quickly walked to what Gabriel remembered was the main food store. In a matter of minutes they reached a battered metal door and the survivor began to scream.
Gabriel: Is anyone in there?!
???: Yes, thanks god please open the door. I have been stuck here for days !.
The angelic female voice was completely docile. The reincarnated smiled knowing that he hadn't arrived late.
Oscar: That voice sound familiar.
Without wasting time Gabriel pulled out one of his thermite grenades to melt the lock on the metal door. The constant blows of the zombies weren't strong enough to knock down the door, but they ruin the lock and leave the woman trapped.
When the door opened they could feel a sickening smell coming from the room and in front of them was something they didn't expect. This woman was a mass of muscles that easily was 2 meters high. Her dark skin was decorated almost entirely by tribal tattoos and scars. Her hair was extremely short and the blond of this contrasted her skin. She seems to be in her late twenties and military uniform and revealed her career choice. A battered and blood-soaked shotgun hung from her shoulders, giving the impression that she had used it as a club. Finally, and most important she was holding a grenade in her hands.
???: Thanks but if you try something funny, it will kill us all ! Wait what the fuck. . . Oscar?
The woman's voice had changed completely, now it seemed to be that of a person living on a diet based on alcohol and bullets.
Oscar: Holy shit Yeni?
Yeni: You old senile fagot, give me hug !.
When she saw the old man, the woman put the grenade in one of her pockets and hugged him so hard that crack was heard.
Oscar: Ok take it easy girl. . . .
Gabriel: I think I need some context.
Yeni: What is the deal with that circumcised dick head ?.
Oscar: I see that you are still a shameless brat as always. How did you do to enter the army with that attitude ?.
Yeni: A lot of self-control but now that the world has gone to shit. I can swear to my heart content.
Gabriel: Excuse me for interrupting this meeting, but we have to do a lot of important things.
Michi: Yes, cleaning the bunker should be our number one priority.
Yeni: Holy shit that cat just talk? Well it's not the strangest thing I've seen this week. First question, are these motherfuckers 100% dead now?
Gabriel: Yes but you need to extract the. .
Yen: Stop there! I'm going to take a bath, I was shitting in a corner for three days in a row and as you can sense I smell like a public bathroom. After that you can fill me with all your bullshit exposition.
While the woman was going to the showers the trio was to take the Hell Crystals from the corpses and put them back in the morgue that the installation had . After an hour the group meet in the communications room of the bunker to discuss what was happening. Everyone took a seat resting from the hard work they had done and Gabriel explained what was happening to Yeni.
Yeni: So that's why those politicians bastards were remodeling this bunker. They wanted to have a safe place to protect their precious asses from the virus.
Gabriel: Well. . .no, I have to tell you guys a couple of bad news. In a month the reactor of the Atucha nuclear plant will explode and transform all Buenos Aires in a radioactive wasteland but that is not the worst. In five years the Yellowstone volcano will explode and that will create a month of total darkness followed by a new ice age.
Oscar: Holy shit.
Michi: Now I understand why you were so secretive about that issue.
Yeni: We are more fucked up than a child in a meeting of Catholic priests.
Oscar: Ok what is your great plan to survive all of this ?.
Gabriel: If we want to survive we must first arrive in the Malvinas Islands, there the last survivors of South America are meeting.
Oscar: Ironic, to think that I have to go back to that icy hell. . . . I still feel the toes that I lost there because of the cold.
Yeni: Fuck that shit I don't want to survive, I want to fuck, drink, eat a hamburger with a lethal dose of french fries, I want to live !. I don't want to live the rest of my life like a frightened rat on an island in the ass of the world.I want to take my country back from the hands of these motherfuckers. If you can't do that then I'll go alone and become the alpha bitch on top of the food chain.
Gabriel:Sure girl, the defensive stand was what drove humanity to extinction in the first place. Look when we get to the Malvinas and we have a decent operation base there we will start a campaign to clean the continent.
Yeni: Great, its seem that our leader has some balls.
Oscar: Whatever you want, the truth is that this is the most fun thing I have done since my wife died.
Michi: Well since we are with this positivism after that I want to find another cat.
Gabriel: Ok Yeni you are now in charge of the Argentine army now.
Yeni: Cool then I need to become one girl army. So I just need to shove these crystals in my ass or something like that and then I get super crazy mutations.
Gabriel: More or less yes. .they only need to come in contact with the mucous tissue. Before that we need to discuss what kind of build do you want.
Yeni: That is easy, I want to go close and personal to facefuck these motherfuckers.
Gabriel: How tough are you ?
Yeni: Bitch I can use a cactus as a dildo.
Gabriel: I was hoping you would say that, you will be our tank. Take this special crystal and get the special mutation two times and then take this regular hell crystals and pick Enchant Stamina 1, Sleep Efficiency 1, Regeneration 1 and Resistant Skin 1. I will make you some heavy armor, a shield and a mace later. Oscar you get Extreme Vision 1 and Enhanced Stamina 1 and 2. Stamina is one of the most important mutations and Vision will be useful for what we are going to do tomorrow.

After that meeting they spent a couple of hours fixing the place and then Gabriel went to his new room to take a well-deserved rest. Lucky the living quarters were finished so it was a quite comfortable place. Out of nowhere someone knocked on the door and entered his room, this was his new partner.
Gabriel: Do you want to talk about something in private?
Yeni: Look I don't have time for that "seduction" bullshit and my options are a talking cat, and old fart and you so you wanna fuck?
Gabriel: Ok but get ready to be disappointed.
