      ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙

(C) Alexey Dubrovin


   A small French town destroyed by hordes of zombies - the 
living Dead. They're everywhere - in homes, streets and 
rooftops. Those who do not managed to escape before the next 
coming of the zombies turned into these awful creatures. Of the 
total population of the town remained alive, only four - 
Alexander, Sylvia, and Janik Patrick. They managed to escape 
from death on the roof of the central supermarket. By good 
fortune there was quite workable helicopter, but, 
unfortunately, without fuel. Valiant Quartet to find a way out 
of this difficult position. The overall situation in the game 
pretty ominous, and zombies shows quite plausible to scare 
people with no too strong nerves, especially when the corpse 
appears unexpectedly.


   I must say, this sinister atmosphere dissipates
largely ad sponsors - UBI SOFT, hung on
building walls, though in some places abundantly watered with 
blood. 

   Thus, the four brave men on the roof. Need a volunteer
to come down and inspect the building in search of fuel. Help
Patrick volunteered, he descended the stairs to the attic, and 
thence to the third floor.


   Zombies arose unexpectedly. Patrick kept his head and several
powerful blows threw a zombie. But the dead man continued to 
attack. Realizing what was happening, Patrick held a series of 
boxing in the head zombie and happily looked at the pitiful 
remains of a corner. It turned out that the building has four 
floors, including the roof and basement. But in basement 
completely lacking electricity, and Patrick had search lights. 
The supermarket was full of different useful subjects. In one 
of the divisions of the hero has found a heavy machine gun, who 
took with him to defend against zombies. And nearby, in the 
closet discovered and a flashlight.


   Basement was quite extensive and dirty room with a huge
cooling unit in one room. Down one could get
in two ways - on the elevator and the stairs from the little 
room at the the first floor.


   Once on the ground floor, Patrick went out and walked
building around. Dead, apparently fell into a
broken door of the three species from the north, south and 
west. To start it was necessary to cleanse the building of 
zombies, and hence close them to access into the building. But 
how is this done? 

   Still outside Patrick saw trucks - one at each
entrance. If the crackdown to clamp the machine in the doorway, 
it firmly stuck there, and go inside it will be impossible. 
Patrick already thinking about who will stay outside to block

door when he remembered that first need to find the keys to the 
locks ignition. And Patrick again set off on a quest. Soon he

really hit the key, but not on trucks. Maybe he
come to the door is closed on top, on the fourth floor, where no
able to penetrate before.

   Key came up, and the hero went into the room with a big 
remote control controls on the left against the wall - 
apparently it is nothing like radio, but radio is not 
interested in Patrick now - on the floor were three key with 
tags on a chain. He took them out and went to talk about their 
zatee others. 

   After some time, there was a plan of action. Patrick
locks the door and locked in one of the trucks waiting
assistance. Alexander and Yannick, armed, kill zombies
drag them into the basement (Patrick read somewhere that the 
best frozen corpses and insisted that every one killed

were classified in the fridge) and after completion
rise to Silva, who awaits them in the helicopter. Then
Alexander goes in search of fuel.

   Going down, Yannick accidentally brushed cabinet - the door 
opened, and fell clattering to the floor canister. Alexander 
picked it up - empty. The door swung open one of the 
departments and came out Patrick holding what - that hose. He 
threw his Yanik: "This is case, if you can find fuel. I can see 
the canister you already have. " He turned and walked toward 
the stairs down the path of having put some zombie blow to the 
head, turned and shouted: "If there are problemma, take the 
trolley and vozite in their bodies. One I saw in the basement, 
and second, it seems, on the first floor. " 

   Yanik and Alexander actually found two carts on wheels,
as said Pat. They took the arms division of the gun,
impressive form, and began vigorously to kill the ugly
Freaks and take them to the basement. Passing Janik took left
Patrick Lantern, and Alexander found somewhere binoculars night
vision, it is suitable for walking in the basement. Path slowly
down to the first floor. He knew that he faced, at
least an hour or two to sit in the truck fled after the other in
a city full of zombies, but that he could cope with such
task better than anyone, since he had nerves of steel and
in addition, a machine gun.

   Going through the door, Patrick discovered the truck and sat 
on soft black seat. Silent turn the key - the engine has earned

Pat and pressed the gas pedal. A strong blow shook the truck. C
work coming out of the cab, checked the hero - the door is 
locked reliably. In the same way Pat did, and with other inputs.

Left alone in the cab of the truck, Patrick closed the door and 
stouter leaned back in his seat.


   Meanwhile, work was in full swing. Zombie stopped 
unexpectedly out as if from nowhere and Alexander finally froze

Last corpse. He wiped his bloody hands in satisfaction and
out of the refrigerator chamber. However, this does not trouble
ended. At this moment, when Yanik and his companion are ready
were to go up before them suddenly grew a hefty figure
fellow configured explicitly unfriendly. Alexander came to his 
senses and one shot in the forehead packed monster. Without a 
word, my friends back to work.


   At this time, sitting in the cockpit, Patrick felt like a 
machine swinging from side to side. He jumped from the cab and

saw two huge zombie pushing a truck trying to remove
him from the road. Soon, they succeeded, from standing nearby
the bus came a few zombies and went inside the building.

   Pat went to the bus and bent over the tank lid.
"For the helicopter will approach", he thought, and rushed into 
the store. Hastily explaining to children what had happened, 
Patrick took the canister and back to street. Using a hose, he 
poured a little gasoline - in the canister gurgled. Bay up to 
the top of its gasoline, he closed the tank and went to 
helicopter, where carefully poured into the fuel tank contents 
of the canister. Throwing all, Patrick went back to the truck 
and overclocking tightly drove his side into the doorway.


   Yanik and Alex tried to swing. It took a long time before
What they finished cleaning up dead and ascended to the roof.

   The tank was already full. Sylvia waited, holding the key to 
the lock Ignition, Alexander started the engine. Through the 
noise of the blades distinctly could be heard rising roar of 
huge crowds. The helicopter soared into the evening sky, 
carrying the survivors away from the deadly city!
