Judd cries out and staggers as if something has slammed into him. Inside the mask blood erupts from his nose.
Judd is buffeted again by some unseen force, once, twice. At the second time he screams, clutching his head with one hand. “Arrrgggggh!”
He turns, reeling, sees the others in the stair. “Go …” he croaks. Dimly he seems to hear Sarge’s shout and nods, fumbling at his belt for the flash grenades.
He pulls the pins, then hurls two of the grenades forward, turning his head away and squeezing his eyes shut as he does so.
Everyone watches Judd throw the two flashbangs out around the corner as he turns and covers his eyes... they clatter across tile and a few seconds tick.
The darkened hallway brightens twice, but by the time the second hits everyone has closed their eyes from the blast of the first, and they only see it through the pink of the eyelid.
And simultaneously two deafening bangs... and then horrible shrieking and roaring.
Update from previous post, for everyone in the hall or anyone who goes out into the hallway:
In the front a zombie hulk, every bit as large and rippling with muscle as the last--it roars and claws at its eyes.
At its side a small fast moving man clutching his head.
Behind the two of them another pair: two old men. On the right is the squeaking man, rolling forward in a wheelchair propelled by... nothing. His head lolls to the side, drool spills out onto his hospital gown. He's thin to the point of starvation--his skin pale and roadmapped with veins. He looks like he could barely lift himself from the chair if at all. Out of his right ear, standing up above his head, and thrashing around blindly is an eye stalk. He is shrieking and pounding at his chair with age weakened fists.
To his right another old man, with a walker. His robe ripples with movement as if something is moving around him, under the gown, all around his waist. His mouth is opened wide and from it peers an eyeball, staring off blindly.
At their flank are a dozen zombies, all clawing at their eyes.
<Mike pushes through and steps out into the hall J9, looking around the corner.>
"That is... just... fnckin sick!"
<He pulls out a pipe bomb and starts flicking at the fuse with a lighter.>
Sarge (tactics):** spoiler omitted **
"Go! Go! Go!"
Johnnie:
It' not just the pair of zombies crouched and readying themselves to charge at you: it's what you see behind them.
A nude woman, hugely bloated with some kind of monstrous pregnancy lays on the floor between the 6th floor nurse's desk and the core elevator shaft about 50 feet in front of you--her legs open toward you.
From her sides 4 greyish green tentacles fuss over dozens if not hundreds of eggs that lay before her bleeding birth canal. Before your very eyes several more of the eggs squeeze out, are embraced and snuggled by her tentacles... and she opens her eyes, looking straight at you.
If it could be said to get worse... the emptied leathery husk of dozens of the eggs seem to have been cast away.
Her guardians, 30 feet in front of you, snarl.
Cord looks around in desperation at the panicked faces of the others and decides to add some more confusion to the carnage. He steps out into the hall way.....
He drags his eyes away from the approaching horde and scans the wall looking for a fire alarm trigger.
Patrick stands by Dave and takes in the abhorrent scene. He sees Dave's intent to throw the flash bang and averts his eyes.
"C'mon, let's go! Whatever the fnck those things are, we can't fight them! We gotta keep moving up!"
Patrick Looks for a way to bar the stairway once they enter
K(Tactics):
Not worried about the $500 dollar fine... Cord pulls the lever on a fire alarm and the din of fire bells break out from all around.

Sarge:
Once on the roof, how to barricade the doors is guesswork. From what you've seen of movies, they always swing out onto the roof and that presents a problem. Your sword or Judd's crowbar may or may not work.
The fire alarm was a good idea. It should help conceal your movement from the zombies, although as you remember it they can sniff people out.
Starting a fire in the stairwell may work. There are chemicals everywhere and the doctor poured alcohol on your arms and legs to clean you off... Maybe fire would hold the zombies back.

Sarge to Judd after his "Let's go!":
"I think we may need to start a fire to keep them back off the roof."

Lot's to read, Flash. The alarm is ringing; Mike is flicking a lighter to set off a pipe bomb; Johnnie ran off somewhere, is probably getting eaten; and you have a bunch of spoilers to read.

Johnnie stifles a scream and moves as fast as he could in the direction he came from.
Sam suddenly shakes her head and her eyes look focused once more. "NO!," she screams. "You can't have me, get out of my head..."
She turns and goes to bring the pistol up ready and realizes it's not in her hand. Fumbling around for a second, she puts her tonfa away and swings the Beowulf around off her back. "You guys need to move. The old ones can hit you from a distance. I don't know where we're going, but wherever it is we better do it now. I'll cover us."
She steps out into the corridor and trains the Beowulf on the first available target and let's loose.

Sam steps out into the hall and faces the zombies. Bewoulf roars and fast zombie's head blooms into a red mist. Headless, it falls backwards like a plank.

A couple of the zombies who were at the edge of the flash, and had their line of sight blocked, they lope forward .
Johnnie:
Group's go.
“Sam! Sarge! We gotta move!” yells Dave over the din of the fire alarm, grabbing Pat’s arm and gesturing at Mike, who is trying to light his pipe bomb.
He brings up the Colt Commando – he’s still clutching the grip in his off hand – and fires off a headshot at the closest zombie
He then dashes into the stairwell
“How close?” he asks Anna, putting his head close to hers to be heard, and looking down the stair.
<While the others talk, Mike rifles through his backpack, slipping a couple of pipe bombs into pockets where he can get them quickly. He half recites half sings a tune to himself quietly while he works.>
Touch our fear
Don't be afraid..."<After the redistribution he pats Wassabi on the head and pulls from his backpack what looks like a home made bomb with a timer on it. He fiddles with the wiring, checking connections, then slips it back into his bag.>
"So you guys gonna hug and s$&+?"
“How close?” he asks Anna, putting his head close to hers to be heard, and looking down the stair.
"Closest are three levels down. Half a minute?"
He brings up the Colt Commando...and fires off a headshot at the closest zombie...
He then dashes into the stairwell
Judd is gone before it falls.
"Ahh sweet Christ, People! up the stairs! Now! "
Patrick remembers the flash grenades and hurreidly digs them out.

Group's go.
Mike leans out into the hallway and lobs the bomb into the gang of Slither extras.
"FIRE IN THE HOLE, M*++*&*#+##&S!"
"Oh, s~*%..."

"Oh, s!+!..."
Mike juggles the pipe for a second but still gets it away, skidding across the floor right to the feet of walker zombie. Charlie Z stops pounding the handles of his wheelchair, his eyestalk stops thrashing...
Then a crack and cloud of white smoke swallows him up and everyone around him.
Nails and chunks of pipe clatter past Sam.

After the explosion you can still see Z-hulk and I15, flayed by but still standing, but the Zs behind them are partially concealed in smoke. You're not sure but it looks like a few of the zombies behind may have gone down.
