Got a Quarter?

Dude, the helicopter, where is it? asked Rick, his voice rising to compete with the moaning
coming up the stairwell behind them.
Chris scanned the mall roof, and its empty helipad, for the third time in as many seconds. I dont
know, he said. I guess somebody else got here first.
Great, Rick muttered. Just great.
Cmon, Chris told him, well head back to the house, figure something else out.
No way, dude, Rick replied. This is a shopping mall. Its almost as bad as Christmas season
down there, he said. We wont make it to the parking lot. I say we stay here, jam the door and
wait for a rescue chopper.
Who says therell be one? asked Chris. Cmon.
Rick shook his head. No. Im staying put, but if youre going, youd better move quick, Rick
told him, pointing down the stairs.
Chris turned to see that the first of the undead had reached the landing below and was starting
up the final flight of steps toward them with the furious determination of a two-year-old. He
turned back to Rick. I gotta go, bro, he said as he stepped into the stairwell. Be safe.
Rick nodded. You too. And he closed the door.
Alone now, Chris aimed the shotgun at the zombies head and pulled the trigger. The gun roared
and the upper torso of the corpse erupted in a shower of desiccated flesh and bone fragments.
An old one, Chris noted. He had earlier observed that the long-dead practically exploded on
impact the younger ones, being somewhat fresher, tended to splatter.
Chris charged downward, taking the steps three-at-a-time. He turned on the landing and found
the next flight of stairs clear. He descended to the Balcony Level landing and door, turned and
stopped dead. Just six steps down, a veritable horde of the undead was making its way up. It
seemed he and Rick had attracted quite the following on their initial run for the helipad.
He turned and entered the Balcony Level of the mall, shotgunning a zombie just inside the door.
Very fresh, probably dead within the hour, he observed. He paused to consider options. One
floor to go. The escalators were closest, but descended to the food court. Way too Twilight
Zone, he thought. The other option, the stairs by the department store, were farther away, but
probably made more sense. He started for the stairs, but after shotgunning two zombies in just
15 feet he realized that even that direction was a bad idea.
He looked around quickly he needed another option. Then he saw it. Just two storefronts away,
the security gate at the video arcade was raised several inches off the ground. Better still, the keys
were still inserted in the lock.
Running to the gate, lifting it, opening the folding partition wall beyond that, ducking in, then
slamming down and locking the gate took less than thirty seconds. Ahh, the power of adrenaline. To
hell with cheese. Closing the partition wall left him alone - at least for the moment - in near
darkness.
Chris knew he couldnt stay there long. He found and turned on the store lights as the undead began
beating on the gate. His best bet was to slip out the back door. He walked quickly to the back of
the arcade and found two doors. The first opened into a small office. Nothing good. He checked the
second door. A bathroom. No toilet paper. No back door either.
He realized then that he was trapped. The game was up, and he was out of quarters.
Chris thought a long minute on his options: Try to break out, or wait for them to break in. He finally
realized that there was no choice, not really.
He had five shells left. It would have to do. He shouldered the shotgun and started back to the
front when something caught his eye. It was a game a game with zombie hordes depicted on its
sides in bright, garish colors. Mall Walkers. Redefining consumerism.
Chris smiled he simply had to then leveled the shotgun and pumped a round into the machines
silent bulk. Bite me, he said, then continued on his way. Four shells would be just fine.

These rules
If a player wishes to use an air duct, they must end their movement on an air
duct space. On their next turn, they forego their movement roll and then move
from the space in a store with a duct to the air duct space inside the other
store. No movement roll is made but all other normal turn rules apply.
You may be asking yourself, how do I use the new stuff? Im glad you asked.
There are a couple of ways you can use the new stuff.
You can play it by itself using the original Zombies!!! rules and all the players
starting at the front door, although you will need the zombies and tokens from
As stated earlier, the Helipad may only be attached to the second floor of the
mall. It may be attached to a hallway or to the outside of a store. This is
possible because players may reach the helipad via the ductwork.
