7 Departing

Quick note: I was re-reading my shit right and I actually forgot a lot of shit so sorry about that

-------------------------------------------------------------

We're still traveling again. My ass has been stuck on this seat, my skills have been getting rusty, the rush I want is out there not in here just hold up in a car talking about life before the apocalypse. As I was thinking about that I remembered the joy of killing that zombie at the market and I think my body wanted more of that carnage. I want to use my body more. I should find a car and leave.

Thinking about it maybe we could find Wichita and little rock again on the road and that should be a perfect time to leave. I want to test myself. I want to grow stronger here, and develop my skills more. And again Tallahassee and Columbus started talking.

Columbus: "You know, they say, He who seeks revenge should remember to dig two graves."

Tallahassee: "Right. Two graves. One for the big chick and one for the little chick."

Montgomery: "Why even seek revenge when you already agreed on the deal?"

Tallahassee: "I just can't forgive someone pointing their guns at me."

Montgomery: "Well alright."

Tallahassee: "And it's not like I'd actually do it."

Columbus: "You're scary happy."

Tallahassee laughs at what Columbus has said.

Columbus: "Come on, why don't we just forget about those girls and head home?"

Tallahassee: "Oh, you want to talk about home? Well for me, Home was a puppy named Buck. Cutest dog ever. It's because of all those fucking zombies that I lost him. And there ain't no getting him back, so, uh, I'm looking for a new home. Tomorrow, I may be skinny-dipping in the Yellowstone river, or swinging from the chandelier in the playboy mansion. But today, a Vortec six-fucking-liter V8, a box full of hollow points, and, LORD WILLING, a GD twinkie. Gotta enjoy the little things."

As Tallahassee was done talking I could see Columbus writing down something on a paper. We continued down the road for 20 minutes until we saw a familiar looking truck. It was the truck that Tallahassee gave to Wichita while the word "HELP" was written on the side of it. We got out of the vehicle and Tallahassee grabbed the binoculars being cautious about the two girls.

Tallahassee: "Knowing them, it's a trap."

Montgomery: "Yeah, it is."

Tallahassee: "Both of you wait here. Drive down when I signal."

Columbus: "You're not gonna shoot them are you?"

Tallahassee: "Not unless they shoot at me."

Tallahassee said while grabbing the gun then cocking it.

Tallahassee: "Oh, let's hope they shoot at me."

As Tallahassee was going down the road me and Columbus went back in the truck while Columbus was in the driver seat. I stayed in the back waiting for little rock to appear. And she did while sneaking behind the car with Tallahassee's gun. I already readied my gun where she was gonna go and waited for her to open the door. And a few seconds later the door opened up Little rock who was surprised a gun was pointed at her and shot the gun that she was holding.

Little rock: "What? why are you?"

Thankfully the shot she fired didn't hit me instead it hit the window behind me making it break into pieces. I grabbed her gun and held her hostage until Wichita revealed herself. With the shot that little rock fired Tallahassee was alerted and went back to the truck.

Tallahassee: "What in the hell happened here? Did that little shit just fire a shot at my truck!?"

Montgomery: "She did. But don't kill her we need her so we can find her sister, that girl is smart so let's be cautious."

Thinking that she would be smart to come up with a trap she didn't and revealed herself almost immediately maybe it wasn't just Tallahassee that got alerted. She genuinely cares for her sister. I actually respect that maybe we do share something in common.

Wichita: "Is my sister alright!? Please don't kill her!" Wichita said while revealing herself with her hand up on the air and her gun on the ground.

Montgomery: "It wasn't us that fired, she did. And we didn't kill her. What happened to the car?"

Wichita: "The engine overheated so we just waited here hoping someone would come, but we didn't expect it was you again."

Tallahassee: "I surely didn't expect to see you both bitches again."

Montgomery: "Let's go, we'll hitch you a ride to California."

Tallahassee: "No! No! that's two times that they threatened us!"

Montgomery: "Come on, We all have the same ravenous enemy why don't we get along."

Tallahassee: "Well okay fine! get in."

Tallahassee said while walking furiously to the car. I did expect Tallahassee to be driving but he's letting Wichita drive, this looks the same as in the movie. Maybe everything didn't really change that much in the story then.

We continued traveling and the same as in the movie. Columbus's situation and them getting friendly maybe it was time for me to leave, as it turns dark and Tallahassee and little rock was sleeping. Columbus and Wichita were still talking about Columbus taking the car to go to Ohio himself. But he didn't do the same as in the movie.

Montgomery: "This should be my stop. I also need to find my family in Montgomery thanks for the ride. Tell Tallahassee that it was a pleasure working with you both."

Columbus: "Are you sure you don't wanna stick together?"

Montgomery: "And leave my family without checking if they're alive? No, I don't think I will."

Columbus: "I see it was nice knowing you. What's your real name? I want to know before you leave."

Montgomery: "It's Carl Grimes."

Columbus: "Goodluck Carl, I hope you will find your family, maybe we can see each other again in the future.

Carl: "Thanks, Columbus and you Wichita, good luck out there."

As we said our goodbyes they finally left and I was left with a car. But the thing is I haven't planned that much in the future yet so I don't know what to do, or where to go. Should I ask the system what I should do next? Maybe I should.

"Where should I go next system?"

[We recommend the host to answer some of our questions so we could assess.]

"Hm sure!"

[Do you want agility or strength?]

"Agility is much for me because I'm a speed maniac"

[Do you want to be peaceful or chaotic]

"Chaotic surely"

[Are you confident in yourself?]

"Not right now because of my restricted status."

[Do you want to kill?]

"Yes."

[Do you want more gore?]

"Yes."

[Do you want power?]

"Of course."

[That's all thank you for your time.]

"That's it?"

[Yes, we are now making the perfect plan for you and to continue your growth to becoming strong.]

"That's great! So where to next?"

[First we suggest preparing necessities.]

"Okay!"

[We recommend going to the shop.]

"I should check my status first rather than the shop."

[Current sp is 540]

"That's quite a lot."

"I got my agility stat back! that's gonna be handy but should've at least unrestrict some of my skills"

*Sfx sigh*

"Well that's that let's just find something in the shop for something good."

I looked for a tactical mask that could hide my face it looks like a skull with a buckle to the back. I just want to use it when maybe helping Columbus at Pacific playland. Next I look for a tactical shirt and pants so I can blend more into the dark, and it all cost me 30sp.

And now for the weapons. First was grenades I bought 5 grenades that cost me 5sp each

I bought two hand guns, one is a M9 Beretta and the other one is a Glock-19 both are sick and both are effective it cost me 20sp.

For the AR's my taste are quite picky for them I love all assault rifles but I can't get all of them. The first thing I bought was the HK416 with the already customized accessories.

The next one is the M4 carbone the most common gun in video games or was it the M16? Well the two guns cost me 40sp.

Moving on with the Sniper Rifles or should I get a hunting rifle instead? Snipers aren't really great in the zombie apocalypse. No, wait. I forgot about that scene in 28 weeks later where Jeremy Renner was playing Sergeant Doyle. He was killing a lot of infected with a sniper rifle. Maybe it is effective in the apocalypse. I should pick what to buy though just one rifle is enough I'm sure I wouldn't use it that much. So I bought the desert tech SRS bolt action sniper which cost me 30sp.

All of the things I bought cost me 145sp in total so I only have 395sp left. Now what should I do next, I'm already stocked up on ammo.

"System, what do I donext?"

[Task: Exterminate a horde of zombies

Rewards: 5000EXP; 500SP/ one unrestricted stat]

"Where should I even find a horde?"

[With your mapping skill.]

"And how should I exterminate them?"

[Rip and Tear till there's nothing left.]

"Okay, now I should just find a horde and I don't have any clue where they are."

Breaking the class of the car I tried looking for the key but couldn't find it anywhere. So I just hot wired it, my destination is to a populated city where there was a huge population. Populated cities equals more zombies and more zombies means countless horded.

I continued hot wiring it but it takes so damn long to hot wire because of this I got mad and started aggressively connecting the wires. But that was a mistake, and the car's alarms suddenly went on creating loud sounds. And this place was a field I shouldn't alert anything when I'm here. Fuck I shouldn't have been enraged this is getting troublesome.

Cursing myself my map suddenly went off with pings of red dots all over the place. Huge numbers of red dots coming towards me to the north and south. I was sure this was a horde and two of them at that. I was sandwiched between two hordes of zombies very fast ones at that! I don't know what to do.

I tried hot wiring the car again but I couldn't do it, the two hordes are almost here I should prepare when I still have the time. Opening the shop I bought barricades and spikes and set them up where the south horde is. I tried looking for a car in the shop but most of them are all over my price limit most of them 1kSP and the lowest was 700SP.

My chances on winning is slim and now the closest to me are the north horde I went on top of the car's roof. I pulled out my sniper rifle, I attached the scope so I could see but it was dark and I couldn't properly see. So I opened the shop again to buy four brightest flashlights that I could find. I set two infront of me and the back. I could see them a lot of zombies, blood coming out of their mouth, ripped clothing and just absolutely horrifying.

I started shooting at them I could see my bullets hitting and killing them.

*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*

The recoil of the gun, the overall wariness and the restless night that I'm having right now is fun it's fun. I want to do more of this!

A smile crept out of my mouth until that smile reached my ears. I shoot, and shoot, and shoot again until my sniper needs to reload, shoot and reload, shoot and reload. that's all I could think about. I'm in a trance, killing zombies is way too fun!

Another problem has appeared my sniper has ran out of bullets the south horde has been moving even faster than before. It must be because of the gunshots and the lights. But the good news is that north horde's numbers decreased to a manageable size. I could probably just kill them using my Assault rifle right now.

[Advance Marksmanship acquired: -50% bullet drop rate, +10% damage bonus, +50% reload speed, +5% rate of fire]
