Meanwhile, at the garage where Raoul still stays safe there by himself, he opens the radio station, and he tries to contact the military. As he did all of the things Jon showed him when he was still alive, the transmission works.

"Tell him to haunt a thing like this, and we can negotiate." says a voice in the helicopter coming far away.

"Hey! Is this the Operation Attack at Mayenne, over!" says Raoul on the microphone.

"Yes." says the voice from the radio, which resemblance the co-pilot. "Here is Milton, again! What is your status? Over."

"The thing is looking good here." says Raoul on the radio. "How is the thing there. Over."

"Classified information. The mutants here have taken the Mayenne. And we don't know how many of them are there."

"Probably thousands or more than this." says Michael who shoots his machine gun to other zombies. "Tell the man to wait until we clean this city from a giant zombie!"

"Giant zombie?" asks Raoul shocked.

"Michael!" yelled the co-pilot at the soldier. "Now you have heard the thing."

"Yes. but what is this thing exactly?"

"A huge zombie. Two meters or taller and very aggressive."

"Never saw or heard one." replies Raoul. "All of these infected are slow or running."

"Great. We have taken the most difficult city from Maine." says the co-pilot sounding pissed.

"Are you going to be fine?"

"We are in a helicopter." says the co-pilot. "We are totally fine, if the thing will be not knocking us down with a block of- Oh God!"

Then, the transmission suddenly ends and Raoul looks distressed at the radio. He takes the microphone and yells at it.

"Hello! Hello! Operation Attack to Mayenne, do you copy?!"

No response after almost ten seconds. He tries again.

"Operation Attack to Mayenne, do you copy?!"

A few moments earlier, before the tragedy, Michael saw the huge thing jumping from the wall of two floors building, and landing on the roof of a building. Michael proceed to shoot the thing with the machine gun, but it has no effect on it, and he didn't shoot the head, all of the body. The creatures smash the roof of the building and goes down there.

"This piece of shit is getting on my nerves!" says Michael looking at the house where the creature has gone in.

The co-pilot closes the transmission, and he look at the building where the thing has gone in. He looks at the pilot who only lower them down a bit, but as he did that, the creature jumped back on the roof and this time he got a big boiler on his hands. The pilot freaked at this, and he tries to raise them up, but it was too late because the creature has thrown the boiler at the helicopter, which hit it pretty hard to make it lose control and fall on the close forest.

As the helicopter was descending fast from the skies, Michael grabbed to the handle and struggle to hold it tight. The other gunner wasn't so lucky since he falls from the helicopter and landed on the streets, where a few crawlers were still kicking alive. The gunner was not even alive when he hit the asphalt since he falls from almost one thousand meters altitude.

The pilot was trying to stabilize the helicopter, but it was no use, the helicopter was still going down. While Milton, was also trying to do something, but it didn't work for him. Michael continued to hold tight, and he yelled at their pilots.

"HOLD TIGHT!"

Then, as the helicopter got close to the ground, the pilots and Michael are preparing for their impact which was a painful one. This impact has killed the pilot who got impaled by a tree brunch the helicopter destroyed, and it also got another tree branch that hit on the head. The co-pilot got also stabbed with a tree branch but on his neck. While Michael, survived the attacks of the branches, but as the helicopter landed, he suffered a luxation of the hands he was holding the handler and his body landed on a bunch of rocks.

After a few minutes of unisons, Michael wakes up, and he realize it is stuck on the helicopter. He also fell the pain of both of his hands who are on his back and crashed between the anti-bite armour he wears and the spick rocks of the river he crashed. Michael tries to move his hands, but he cannot do it. All he can do is scream and look on the sun (he got trapped on the helicopter but the side where the other gunner was on his position with the doors open).

"Help! Help me and I give you chocolate!" he yelled out of desperation, and he looks at his pilots and co-pilots who are laying dead on their seats. "Sorry, guys!"

As Michael looks on the sky, he sees some dark smoke leaving the helicopter, he looked all around it, and he didn't say anything that resemble a fire, so this give him a conclusion the fire might be coming out from the other part of the helicopter.

"Please… God." he says as he was thinking that he might be burning alive here.

Raoul leaves the garage with a bike. He closes the garage door behind him, and he look up on the sky, he sees the dark on the sky, and before he was about to pedal into that direction, he observes a vehicle on the road, with a door opened and with a zombie in there. Raoul was thinking to take the car, but as he sees the zombie there, he decides not to. He continues to pedal, but after five minutes, he turns around, put the bike down, walk to that car, he uses the knife he got on his belt to stab the zombie head, open the front door, get the dead thing from there, gets to the driver seat, he turns on the car with the key in contact, and he drives with the car to the area where the incident happened.

"Hang in there, squad! I am coming for you all!" says Raoul going with the car at the street that is leading to the forest zone.
