"Shit shit" I said to myself as I ran to a sewer drain opening the grate. I take a quick peek before going in seeing a deserted street but hearing the infected and the roar of jets as I jump in and pull the grate close.
It's dark as fuck down there as I open my backpack and pull out my flashlight and turn it on and look around using the light to look around. Nothing but empty tunnels and the sounds of bombs hitting the ground. BOOM
Most of the night as heard from the sewers is sporadic gunfire and constant bombing runs with the screams of civilians and soldiers as the succumb to fire and the infected. When dawn comes I'm too scared to go topside as all the sound gunfire and jets have stopped. I go back to the sewer grate and push it open.
The first thing I notice is the smell. The smell of burning flesh and what I guess would be napalm is strong. I almost vomit. The second thing I see is the burned corpse of a soldier who is only recognizable by the helmet melted to his forehead. I Vomit as this as I hear moaning and turn to see some infected shambling towards me. I almost jump straight down the sewer grate again when i see the glint of rifle a few feet next to a soldier and sprint for it.
It's heavy is the first thing I notice about the rifle and turn to sprint back to the sewer when another thought hits me. I have no mother fucking idea how to navigate the sewers and promptly decide to run to the store in front of me and break in.
I try the doorknob and it's locked. The moans are getting closer and in try to use the butt of the gun to break the lock. Nope not going to work. I sense the dead just ten feet behind me when i point the muzzle of the rifle towards the door and pull the trigger. Bam (damn that's loud) I push up against the door and it opens and sprint inside the store.
The stores dark but that's to be expected and I close the door quickly and see a padlock on the counter and grab it and see a riot gate. I expedite and drop the rifle and close the gate and lock it. The infected begin to hit their fist against the door to get in.
I let out a breath and turn around to see the store which looks like a convenience store that's stocked. I walk up to the shelf and grab a pop tart and water and begin to eat and drink. What now i think to myself as I Look at the rifle on the floor and recognize it as a M4 carbine. I unload the mag from the rifle then unload the mag and begin to count the rounds. I have 23 rounds of ammo. Lovely I think to myself and reload the rifle and put it down. I check my backpack and pull out the flashlight and starts to look behind the counter of the store and find a Glock. As I unload that the Freaks at the riot gate have got distracted by something else have left. Finally, peace and quiet i think as i count 20 round for the Glock. I stand by the counter and look around taking in the store and think to myself this would be good place to crash for a bit…
