I woke up sitting in the airlock chamber after an hour, it's completely dark in here and the place is as quiet as a tomb, steps are heard clearly "where did it go, ah there" the only source of light is my tactical flashlight

The main entrance behind me closed, the only way forward is going back there

Picked up my AK "got 3 mags left"

Checked my equipment, got 2 first-aids, broken transmitter, knife, tactical laptop, lockpicks, "Ah", the black box to record in case of emergencies, I've turned it on, this thins will stay by my side from now, the respirator "guess I'll put it on", these gas mask filters can last up to 8 hours in an NBC situation, I'm gonna have to salvage anything I can find here

"Aghm, so.... situation report"

"We came here an hour ago, my team, now all dead, were mercenaries tasked with operation STAINLESS in this bloody laboratory. I'm senior lieutenant Jayson Bennett in charge of the Beta group, don't think the Alpha group survived after that. The mission operation WIPEOUT was to infiltrate the facility, suppress the infection BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, take control of/destroy the security control system which has been taken over by that damn monster"

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

It's been three days since the leak, our intel was as close to none, the facility's emergency response team went MIA, prolly wiped out without leaving behind anything useful other than the tunnel evacuation system wasn't intact anymore, was filled with debris after an explosion a day ago

"Do I have to go back there, alone"

"We were supposed to split into two groups after entering from the gate behind me but as soon as we passed the first gate leading to the corridor, but"

"It was HELL, nothing like this has ever happened to me"

"The elevator in front of us came up, the door opened, and....the air around us started getting puffy. It was as if we were breathing terror itself, I've been on hellish battlefields but never this fear struck in my life. Then...the lights popped and something attacked us, we didn't see a thing, many of my men started shooting aimlessly but they were slashed in an instant, I ran...retreated to the back door as they were screaming behind my back, then I was knocked in the airlock chamber, one of the soldiers followed me and closed the door of the chamber but was stabbed from the little space left as the door was being closed, I went unconscious and lied there for an hour"

I got up

"Now then, time for some sweet revenge, I had 90 loyal friends in brass shirts and every one of them can take a head right off, I don't care if it's a zombie, monster or whatever, there's no way it can survive a shot in the head, or so I thought"
