That vial contained a potent smell-altering serum. It's enough to make them think there's something dangerous in this direction.

We run. Straight for the exit. gestures towards the crumbling gate Keep moving, no looking back.
nods, following Zero Lead the way, then. And if you know any short cuts, now's the time to mention them.

Bearrata successfully takes out several CDC agents from above, creating a path for Zero to escape even further
shoots the agents, creating a path Nice work, Zero. Let's keep moving.
nods appreciatively Good job, Bearrata. Now let's go before they regroup. Stay close and stay low.

leans against the wall, arms crossed Alright, Bearrata. Just make it quick and clean. We don't want any mess left behind.
takes a deep breath, focuses on the zombie On your mark...
grins mischievously Just a little trick I picked up. It's gonna throw off that zombie. Ready, Bearrata?
whispers Yeah, I'm ready. Fire when ready.
grabs a handful of sand and throws it directly at the zombie's face Now!
