BOOOOM!
The chopper slammed into the forest floor and erupted into flames. Twisted pieces of metal were thrown in every direction as burning fuel spread across the trees, turning the surrounding darkness orange.
Something moved inside the wreckage. A mangled arm slowly pushed against the broken metal before going limp again. The remains of the pilot were still strapped to his seat, his body torn apart by the impact. The soldier beside him had been thrown halfway through the shattered cockpit, his blood dripping from the wreckage onto the burning ground.
A few meters away, the infected landed.
THUD! The impact cracked the earth beneath its feet, but the creature didn't even stagger. It simply stood there, completely unharmed, while the flames of the crashed helicopter reflected against its dark eyes.
Then it slowly turned away from the wreckage.
Without a single glance at the dying men, it began walking back toward the mass of black flesh covering the forest floor.
