As Wildner arrived at the chopper, he immediately checked the fuel tanks. He almost cheered as he noticed they were still completely intact.
"okay, this is gonna be big, and it will eliminate the zombies if it works. however, as soon as it's done, we'll need to be quick in grabbing supplies, 'cause more will come. You'll need to do exactly as I say." He looked around for a while. "Does either of you have anything with a lasting sound? We need to draw all zombies around the helicopter."

Fin took off the small watch on her right hand, and held it out to Wildner. "It has an emergency alarm on it.. If you pull out the clip on the top, it will shriek for ten minutes or so.." She still didn't quite understand what Wildner was going to do, but whatever it was, she hoped it worked. She wondered how the helicopter could possibly help them get rid of the zombies.

"That's perfect!" It will get destroyed in the process however, are you certain about it?

Fin shrugged. She didn't really care about the watch. If it would help them get their supplies, she would happily sacrifice it.

"allright then. See that treehouse over there?" he pointed at a small hidden treehouse a few 100 meters behind them. Go there and get ready for a spectacle!" He started uncoupling the fuel tanks and loaded them into the center of the helicopter.

Fin ran for the treehouse, not wanting to be out in the open for too long, lest they attract more zombies. Climbing up into it, she peered out the small window, and watched what Wildner was doing. Was he going to blow up the helicopter?

Liam stayed behind for a moment to help. When the fuel tanks were where they needed to be, he ran for the tree house as well. He didn't climb up though, he stayed near the bottom, gun trained in case Wildner needed cover.

Wildner checked one last time if everything was connected the way he wanted it to be. When he was sure everything was strapped on and ready to go, he threw a rock through the store's window, then immediately set of the alarm on Fin's watch before sprinting back to the tree house. He climbed up and got into position - rifle aimed at the door.
"Get the hell up here!" He whispered to Liam.

Liam followed Wildner up, and peered over Finlay's head out the window. He eagerly awaited the fireworks, as the Zombies herded themselves towards the helicopter, taking the bait, hook line and sinker.

Wildner held the aim steady as the last few zombies appeared from the shop.
"This is it." he said, as he put some earplugs in his ears. "you might want to cover your ears. Oh and one last thing, as soon as the explosion dies down, get the hell in that store, grab some food and drinks and come back here. i'll keep covering you. All clear?"

Liam plugged his ears and eagerly awaited the explosion. He perched by the rope ladder, ready to jump out at a moments notice.

Finlay covered her ears with her hands, and watched, wide eyed through the small window. She too, was ready to run for the store when the explosion hit.

Wildner nodded his contentment, and aimed for the chopper. The zombies were squirming around it heavily, and he could only see fragments of the green fuel tanks every now and then. He could of course try and shit it through a zombies head, but the risk of failing the explosion was too high. He just concentrated and held his breath, waiting for a window of opportunity.
If I mess this up, we're done for.

A flash of green.

Wildner shot his gun, the bullet flying cleanly in between two zombies and into the fuel tank, where it exploded. Even as some zombies turned around to face Wildner, the tank exploded with a huge bang, consuming the zombies in a ball of fire in all directions. when the fire dissapeared, all zombies were either dead or falling dead to the ground.

"NOW! GO!" he yelled. There was absolutely no time to lose.

Finlay was a little surprised by how large the explosion had been, and stood in shock for two seconds before she took off, as fast as her short legs could carry her. Liam was following close behind her, she could tell from the sound of his footsteps.

Fin nearly tripped over her own feet, as she made her way through the broken glass doors, and towards the clothing. She quickly grabbed what she could, both mens and women's wear. She threw them into an abandoned shopping cart. She hoped at least some of these things would fit them.

Liam split up from Fin as they entered the store. Grabbing a hand basket, he began to just shovel non perishables into it.

as Wildner checked the streets, there was still no zombie in sight. He still wished they'd hurry up though, these things could come out of nowhere.

Finlay was first out, Pushing the cart in the direction of the tree house, she paused by the door, small gun drawn, and held in shaky hands, ready to shoot if Liam was being pursued by a Zombie

Liam followed closely. 2 baskets now piled high with food, drink, three camping backpacks,and an assortment of other supplies. He wasn't entirely sure what he had grabbed, but there would be time to go through it all when they were safe. Both out of the store, Liam headed for the tree house, pulling Finlay along with him.

Wildner saw a hord of zombies rushing in at the end of the streets.
"hurry up!"
He didn't want to shoot untill the zombies were on their track.

They got to the tree without incident, but still needed to get all of their supplies up into it. Fin climbed halfway up the ladder, and reached out her hand. She would take the items and throw them unto the room above. Her heart hammered, she could now see the zombies, getting closer to them, they needed to act quickly.
