The chaos ensued as the zombies grew in numbers from a secretly infected civilian.
Meanwhile, the soldiers near the area responded immediately, pushing forward as the first shots rang out across the tent.
Rifles came up in one motion.
"Contact! Multiple infected!" one of them shouted.
The first burst hit the girl that started it all, rounds striking her upper body and snapping her backward onto the ground. She stopped moving—but it didn't matter anymore.
Behind her, the man she bit staggered forward, clutching his neck.
Then his body seized.
He dropped to one knee.
And then he stood back up.
"Shit—another one!" a soldier called out.
The line collapsed almost instantly.
Civilians ran in every direction, some screaming, others frozen in place as they tried to process what was happening right in front of them.
The soldiers tried to establish control, stepping forward, rifles tracking targets—but there was no clear separation anymore.
People were everywhere.
