1
You're Paramedic Five on a mission with Maxine to deliver samples to a research lab to see if the partial zombie vaccine will work with the strain of the virus in Tunisia. But you need to move quickly. The samples need to be kept cool and unfortunately you had to abandon your jeep due to zombies. Rae, your guide, says that she knows the area well, which is lucky because the zombies are after you. Run!
2
You make it to the top of an aqueduct and get a look at the terrain. Rae knows some shortcuts, but they'll be more dangerous. With only an hour before the samples denature, you don't have much choice.
3
You enter an old fort and Maxine marvels at the setup. Rae says that they made good defensive settlements during the start of the apocalypse and asks about what people did in the UK. Maxine says that most homes weren't strong enough to withstand zombie attack and this surprises Rae. She's heard that the UK started the apocalypse and has suffered five or six serious coups and attacks since then. Have you thought about sending your antiquities, such as priceless paintings or Viking artefacts, to somewhere more stable, like Maghreb, where they can really be looked after? Rae knows a few buyers. The conversation is interrupted by a large and loud zombie. Better try another turning!
4
The zombie is still after you and Rae asks if you've noticed that Red Scorpion soldier zombies are always large and strong. A headshot won't take it out and it has body armour. And also what looks like a bomb strapped to it!
5
Rae thinks you have another few minutes before the bomb explodes. Maxine worries that even if you don't get killed in the explosion, you're likely to get infected by flying zombie parts. Rae says that she and Maxine will keep running so the zombie follows them, while you need to keep the samples safe. You also need to get in position on the bridge above the road for when they pass under it. Ready?
6
Rae and Maxine are past the bridge and Rae instructs you to push a boulder onto the zombie. You almost hit it, but it stumbles to the other side of the bridge. Another boulder manages to trap it, but the bomb is still counting down. Go!
7
You watch the explosion from afar and Rae critiques your zombie killing skills. She says she used to work for Amelia and Valmont when they visited long before the apocalypse. Amelia said Rae should get to know Maxine and keep tabs on her. Maxine is oddly touched, and after all, Amelia wants to protect her assets. The research centre is up ahead, so get going. Maxine needs to work on the vaccine.
