Thirteen hundred hours. What a nice dark clouded weather. I was thinking to go out for a walk or something. Hey, its 1pm and there's no sun. Happens kinda frequently during my time now.. Anyways. So I have decided.
I took my wallet, keys and randomly brought along my bike, instead for a walk i went for a ride. I cycled past the highway.
"Strange." I said to myself. There were no sound of cars at all. This morning I woke up it seemed fine. Suddenly the tides have turned. I cycled out into the highway and what I saw was just pure horrific. I saw cars all over the place, fires, thick black smoke, smoke, but strangely again, no humans. This is where it all went wrong..
I cycled to the bridge connecting the highways together and saw that the entire area has been affected, I don't know what, probably an EMP attack by terrorists or something. But its impossible because Electromagnetic Pulse only deactivates electronic items, and i find that my phone was still working. This could be a new pandemic. Or maybe a new virus has erupted from within the HIV, AIDS, and all other diseases. There's also another theory, well for me, that it might be that aliens are about to take on our world. But either way, I was gonna check this one out. My first thought was to arm myself with any kind of weapons, any kind, be it a stick, a car, a lorry, knife, anything, as long as I can defend myself from harm. I cycled to the nearest police station, while I'm doing so, here are some theories I have came out with, number one, it might be a serious virus that we do not know off which infected everyone world wide, why?, its because that this virus can come from anywhere and our world is connected via networks, which means that diseases can spread pretty fast given the circumstances. Number two is aliens invade! How I got the theory, I'm a UFO fan myself, watching some unexplained UFO theories about underground alien bases, hidden letters and secrets of the US Government to its people. And all the word of mouth spread of rumors.
Still, theories are theories. I was on my way to the police station when I saw a few people walking aimlessly. Then I suspected something I was thinking all along, zombies! Well, armed with a bike, what could I do right? I looked for any items which could be made into a weapon, and I saw them still the way they were. I found a pretty big branch. Not sure where it came from but oh well! I grabbed it, paddled as fast as I can and WHAM! I smacked the guys head really hard. All I felt was watery liquid on my right hand, oh yuck blood.. Well. After smacking the poor dude, I reached the police station! To my surprise it was all empty, as usual from a horror scene, blood everywhere, no bodies, nothing.. Anyway. So I went in to the station, walking back and forth looking for the darn armory. Well, I found the armory, but with oh-my-gawd-lousy-revolvers. Well, it's still a weapon ain't it? Th weather was still pretty dark when I was out of the station with like what, seven revolvers and fifty bullets. That would not do it. I'm a weapons fanatic, so I'd expect more like a Glock handgun or something. But anyhow, I went off. Not so far from it I saw a patrol car, I went near it to see if I could get my hands on an H&K MP5, as the cops here usually carry, without the magazine. Well, I found one though, but the cop was a zombie. Oh man. Poor guy, I had to shoot his head. And that attracted a few nearby zombies. I quickly grab his MP5 and three magazines. Oh damn it again, so little ammunition won't get me to live for even a week.
He had a Glock handgun too! What joy! But two magazine clips. Damn this guy. Anyway. So I went on, walking around, scouting for food and extra supplies.. So far no survivors, this probably happened pretty quickly and nobody noticed it. Oh well. Thank me for waking up at twelve in the afternoon! And since the world is now in chaos, everything belong to nobody right? So according to my rightful judgement, I am not stealing, I told myself while getting hold of an Ipod, well, sorry I lied, actually all of the Ipod in the store. But anyway, it was for safety purposes, since the zombies are attracted to sound, it could prove useful. Then I went to grab my bike and went to a bicycle shop which I found pretty interesting, as I can't drive, it would pose a threat to me, and by the armaments I'm holding, no way I can survive if one thousand of them came charging at me. So I cycled, the environmentally free way, if it still is useful.. And so looking at the place, it was just pure mess. Small fires around, accidents, bloods, no victims. I reached the bicycle shop. And whoa, I found so many cool bikes. I just tested it, screw anyone who wanna stop me. I just took the bike and rode off, somewhat like a Rambo, with guns on my back and two revolvers at my side. But then, after some fun I had, I realized, oh shit! I need to fortify my house to stay alive! But oh well, I can stay at so many houses now since its all not occupied. I felt pretty bored and I thought of looking for different guns to use, and anyway, I need a back pack to fit my gadgets and equipments. Its pretty cool though, like going on a hardcore camping. Since I was near a mall, I went to the mall to look for the perfect backpack.
The mall was like oh-my-shit. Full of those zombies. I had no choice, as long as I don't make any noise or sound, I'm safe. So I stepped pretty quietly, and out of frustration, I went to a wide open location and played the Ipod and ran for my life!! Well, they bought it though, I saw them all converging on the Ipod, oh poor 700bucks Ipod. I looked around the mall, suddenly I felt memories in my mind of what happened between me and my friends at the particular mall. But being emotional can get you killed. Hey, I was tired, so I took a seat to cool down, I drank some water and relaxed, not sleeping, just sitting and looking at the poor senseless zombies. After a few minutes I regained my strength, so I continued my journey of finding the perfect backpack. As I was in the mall, I heard a lady screamed. Oh!
That was where my adrenaline kicked in. I took another Ipod from my current lousy bag, I switched on the music to its loudest and slide it the opposite side of the poor lady. Again, they went that way. I quickly grabbed my MP5, shot the nearest zombie in the head and jumped in on the rest. She was save all right. At least with bruises.
"Hey, what's your name?" I asked her.
"Cindy." She replied.
"Oh. Nice to meet you. I'm Benjamin. May I know your surname?" I asked again.
"Lee." She replied. "And thanks for saving me. I almost died, oh my god."
"Oh nothing biggie. Just saving the last bit of mankind." I replied with a sinister smile.
She smiled back and we walked on. "Are you alone?" I asked.
"Yeah. My friends were at the office, its my friends birthday today. What a sad and horrifying day."
"Yeah." I replied not looking at her. "Hey, there's one more man there!" I pointed.
The man was alone, he was sitting down and was sighing about something, probably mumbling. I approached him slowly.
"Hey." I said to him.
He looked up slowly, "Hey. Leave me here. I want to die."
"Are you crazy? You wanna eat other humans and be a cannibal??" I said to him, in a whispering mode.
"Yeah. I killed her. I can't believe it. I killed her. Her last words were I love you forever Sam." he said and sighed. "Oh. Damn. I shouldn't have brought her out as I've sensed something bad.." he continued.
"Come on man, we gotta go. At least she told you something before she died. She's not bad looking either. Your survival is something you should hold on to while you are alive. Keep her alive in you man." I told him.
"Since when you became a man?" he asked me.
I stunned.
Finally he agreed. Well, the three of us went around, looking for other survivors, if there is any. So we walked around, never trusting anyone of them with a weapon so fast. I don't wanna die too early too.! Then suddenly we heard sounds that a few people are in trouble, I heard items dropping, footsteps, panting and voices. We ran the way of the noise, which brought us directly to another three survivors. One man, two women. Immediately I took out another Ipod and threw it far away, they followed it. The three of them were panting hard, probably from endless running. I waved at them. They quickly came by to us.
"Hey, I need to know your names, fast." I told them, acting as leader.
"Danial."
"Amanda."
"Jennifer."
"Okay, I'm Ben, Cindy and this is..?" I said, pausing for the man to answer.
"Alex."
"Okay. Now we've unofficially met, so let's get the hell out of here!"
We ran to the door, the main exit door. Then I stopped.
"There's no way out." I told them.
