The Sacrifice Part 4

Part 4 is the final part of The Sacrifice Comic and was released on October 5, 2010, soon before the DLC itself.

Plot
Part 4 begins with Francis relaxing on a beach when a ship full of girls in bikinis asked for permission to board his island. Then, Louis asks if they want to come to his island which Francis responds that no one wants to go to his island. Francis brings the girls down and talks about his &quot;Butler&quot; who tells him to shut up so Francis advises to ignore him before Zoey starts calling Francis, waking him out of his sleep.

They are back on the train and Zoey tells him to back her up about Bill's decision to leave the Soldiers and Doctor to the Horde, but Francis goes right back to sleep. Zoey proceeds to lecture Bill severely about the decision and says that they should find more people like them to fight back. Bill stomps on this by saying that the military locked them up and tried to kill them, explaining that they tried it "her" way. Then, Bill talks about the Florida Keys where there will be nice weather all year around, plenty of hospitable islands, no Infected, Army or jail. He flatly states that they must only look out for their own or die. Zoey tells him that she is willing to die if it means fighting back and again, disagreeing with his "run off and leave everyone for dead" strategy. She asks how many people that he left behind and how many more that he will leave behind. Francis nervously exclaims that he will go and stay with Louis (Something that he believed that he would never say) and Zoey follows him, leaving Bill alone as a flashback begins.

Bill is in a veteran's hospital and a resident asks him about any family coming to visit, earning a cold look from the war veteran. Bill lit a cigarette up much to the resident's distaste. Then, Bill tells him to "practice" somewhere else. The time fast-forwards and Bill is on an operating table. A surgeon asks him to count down from ten while another one places a mask over him, making him lose consciousness. As Bill reaches eight, one of the Surgeons bends over and starts turning. He starts attacking the other surgeon and Bill tells himself not to black out. The surgeon Infected turns on Bill, but he manages to gain enough strength to kick it's jaw off, allowing Bill to get up. Bill bursts into a closet and looks for something sharp while the Common Infected gets to his feet. Bill spots a bonesaw and slices through the former surgeon. The time fast-forwards again and Bill is seen standing outside the hospital with the bonesaw and what appears to be a knife. He rushes home and finds his Army equipment along with an old Army photo. After getting his clothes and equipment on, he grabs his Assault Rifle and heads back outside, firing at any Common Infected in range.

The flashback ends and they are on the streets of (Presumably) Rayford, Georgia. Louis and Bill are talking about necessary items for the islands that they planned to head to. Zoey and Francis hung back and Zoey asks when they were last this happy (Resulting in Francis saying when Louis taught him how to make a Pipe Bomb). Francis asks Zoey if she is still mad with Bill which Zoey doesn't know the answer. She explains that she loves Bill (While dispatching a Common Infected), but doesn't know him. Francis begins listing negative things about Bill which Zoey asks for the positives. Francis pauses to shoot a Smoker and explains to her that the last guys that he hung out with were good fun, but they would have been dead two weeks ago if he continued to hang with them. He says that Bill might not do the right thing all the time, but he did it for the right reasons. Louis interrupts, saying that he found a yacht (Which Bill is uninterested, asking for a sailboat rather than a yacht). As Bill complains, Francis says to go along with it and volunteers to collect any Gas needed. As Louis tells Bill to loosen up, he is attacked. Francis tells him not to worry and he only fell two feet. Louis says that something is pulling him down which Francis acknowledges as gravity. Louis finally pulls himself free and goes to check what it was exactly. He promptly slams the lid shut after checking and requests a Molotov to be thrown in there. As Bill supports Louis, Francis repeatedly guessed that a Witch attacked Louis as the yacht burns behind them. Louis partially acknowledges it as a picture was seen of heaps of Witches clad in bikinis inside, having already eviscerated the previous owner. They found another boat and Francis jokes about having Louis stick his leg in to check before Bill decides to go inside himself. Inside is a large armory of Weapons and Health Packs. As the others have a look inside, Francis comments on them trying to raise the bridge, suggesting that every Infected in the city must have been summoned to the bridge making a loud noise. Bill simply grunts and Francis catches on that was what they're about to do. Bill tells them to make this quick and instructs Louis to stay with the boat which Louis rejects. Bill explains that he has a badly injured leg and Louis pointed the previous person out to stay with the boat who was dead for a while.

Bill relents and shortly after, they are by the bridge and Bill tells Francis to hit the Button. Francis grumbles as he goes up and hits the Button, only for nothing to happen. Bill tells Francis to stay with Louis and Zoey to follow him. Zoey finds a generator and calls Bill, saying that it's ancient. No sooner that Zoey fired the generator up that the infamous howling of a horde is heard throughout the Port. Bill tells Francis to try the button again which he does and the bridge activates. Thousands of Common Infected are seen as the bridge raises. No sooner that Louis said that they could not be reached, the generator breaks down. Francis announces that the four Tanks are heading for the bridge. Louis says that he has a bad feeling, but Francis tells him that they survived worse than this, but Louis flatly states that he would've given Francis a job. Louis asks them to kill him before they make it up, but Bill tells him to save it and jumps down into the horde, asking his teammates to cover him. Zoey calls for him, but Francis tells her to man her gun. Bill lights a Molotov with his cigarette and throws it at the four Tanks heading for him. Louis asks what he's doing which Zoey shouts that he was luring all of the Tanks to him and he would be killed. However, only three Tanks pursued Bill with the last one heading for the bridge as before. Francis says that the bridge isn't high enough for the Tank before Louis says that he hopes that Bill could fire the generator up before the Tank figures it out. As soon as this is said, the Tank begins to climb the side of the bridge.

Meanwhile, Bill is by the generator and is mentally telling himself to activate it and not let "her" down. Zoey shouts that Bill did it as the Tank falls just out of reach of the bridge. Bill thinks to himself that the bridge looks a million miles away, but scolds himself for thinking like that, believing himself to be able to get back. At the moment that he starts running, he is immediately punched by a Tank into the generator room, sliding along the floor and smashing his back against a generator. As the three Tanks advanced, he tells them to wait while he lit a cigarette up. Francis says that he tired of waiting and goes to find Bill. Zoey tells him that it's too late, but Francis refuses to believe until she says that he did it for them and if Francis goes down there, it will have been pointless. Francis reluctantly agrees. Zoey tells them to wait a bit until the horde disperses and get Louis to the boat and get out. Finally, they are on the boat in the sunrise and heading for the Florida Keys as the comic ends.
