Zombie Apocalypse Narrative

It was hard to make headway. The undead poured from the labs into the cramped hallway. We actually had to walk over the dead we shot.
Seven minutes until emergency fail-safe detonation. The mechanical voice warned.
"Time's running out!" I yelled. "We got to make it to the elevators."
"We're almost there!" Dean said, encouraged. "I can see them about ten feet to the right."
