~Surviving the Infected
Marcus turned off the TV, as both them were shock to see the madness the world has become, "Oh my god, this…this thing is all over the world, it's everywhere." Marcus said.
"But how, everything that was normal from last night and this morning come to something like this spread all over the world so fast." Blu said.
"I duno cuz, but whatever this thing is it's spreading fast, so we need to get out of here and fast." Marcus exclaimed.
"But where we will go cuz, if this virus or whatever is all over the world, where will we go that's safe?" Blu asked.
"I duno, but it's a lot better than being here and getting killed by these things." Marcus said.
"True, but before we go anywhere, we need to come up with a plan on where we're gonna go." Blu suggested.
As Blu pulled out a map and set it on the table, with Marcus pointing to the map, "We'll probably try going north if we're lucky the military already set up border around the city's if we can get out and find a refugee camp or something."
"Good plan, but what about those things?" Blu appointed.
"Well, the news said how it spreads is by getting bitten or scratched by those things as long as we avoid that we should be fine." Marcus said.
"But what about fighting against them Marcus, you even saw with your own eyes that guy wouldn't die no matter how many times you shot him I saw the same thing happen with the soldiers." Blu added in of the situation.
"I know but did you notice as soon as I shot his head he died maybe that's how we kill them Blu." Marcus said calmly.
"But what if your wrong cuz." Blu said.
"Then we'll just have to find out and see," Marcus said as they quickly keep packing all the stuff and bring it down to his police car and load it all in the trunk, "Okay cuz, you ready to go?" Marcus asked her.
"As ready as I'll ever be cuz." Blu agreed, got in the car and they drive off.
As they drive by the many streets, they see many buildings on fire and hear police sirens in the distance as suddenly Marcus quickly hit the brakes as in the road in front of them they see many of the people eating other people.
The undead look at the car with Marcus and Blu in there, as they stand up with bits of human meat in their mouth and some holding the guts of the people they were eating.
"Cuz, you might want to back up, now!" Blu panicky shouted at Marcus and he quickly put the car in reverse but more of the undead showed up behind their car as they were quickly surrounded as the outside of the car they pound on the windows with their bloody hands trying to break through.
Marcus quickly takes his pistol out getting ready to shoot, but bright headlights shines in front of them, blinding the two, they also hear a machine gun firing as they see the undead get shot and fall to the ground missing the car.
After the fall of the undead, Marcus and Blu steps out of the car slowly still Marcus holding his pistol up.
"Sir, Madam, are you two alright!" The soldier said.
"Yes, we are thanks to you." Marcus said.
"Good to hear, we're gather any survivors to the refugee center if you want to live I suggest you follow us there." The soldier said.
Marcus looks at Blu, exchanging faces, as he nodded, both get back in the car and they follow the soldiers.
As they followed the soldiers for a while, they come up to the Atlanta CDC and in front of the CDC were many medical tents and regular tents with people walking around.
"Whoa, looks like we might be safe here for a while." Blu said.
"Yeah, hopefully maybe, the military will get all this settled by tonight." Marcus said.
"I doubt it cuz, this virus is all over the world I don't think it'll just settle." Blu said.
"Just trying to think positive here cuz." Marcus said pat and rub her shoulder.
"Sorry Marcus." Blu sighed, as they got off the car and a soldier walks up to them.
"Hello and welcome to the refugee camp, I'm sergeant Hicks, commanding officer here. If you want food and water we're serving them at the green tent and if you want to stay in the tents let me know and I'll assign you one, if you have any more questions just come and find me I'll be happy to help." Hicks said.
"Thanks sergeant." Marcus said.
The two went off to register to get a tent once they did they moved all their stuff into their tent and they laid down on the cots provided for them.
"It isn't home, but I guess it'll work for a while." Blu said.
Marcus looked at his police uniform seeing it covered in blood, "Ew man, I better get myself changed." Marcus said to himself and started to take off his shirt, but he stopped to look at Blu as she got attention, "Umm Blu, can you-umm can you turn around really quick?" Marcus asked.
Blu blushed, "Oh, right sorry cuz." Blu stuttered as she turned around.
Marcus changes into his green shirt, blue pants with his pistol in his holster, and brown shoes then he tosses her bag to her, "Okay Blu, it's your turn to change," Marcus said, "I'll be outside if you need me." Blu smiled as he heads out of the tent.
As he's outside he sees a bus pull up in front, he quickly walks over to the bus and sees many different people get off the bus but sees some of the people had many different cuts on them. "Alright, get these people to the medical tent now!" Hicks said.
Marcus walked up to Hicks, "Um sergeant, sir. I duno if it's a good idea letting these people in."
"Why, you suggest we leave out there by themselves, hell no, I'm not leaving any innocent people to die out there and get eaten by those things, how would you feel if we left you out there, huh? Hicks questioned Marcus as he is staring at him quietly.
"That's what I though, you may be a police officer, sir, but right now the military is in charge, so you either shut up and leave us to our business, or get the hell out of our camp, your choice." Hicks said as he walks away.
Marcus walks back to the tent, he sees Blu sleeping on her cot wearing her purple shirt under her blue jacket and wearing her blue pants, Marcus smiles as he lays down on his cot as well and starts to doze off to sleep.
Moments later, Marcus wakes up to the sound of gunshot. "Huh?" Marcus said and with Blu waking up slowly as well.
"Wha-what's going on cuz?" Blu moaned.
"I don't know, stay here Blu," Marcus peeked out of the tent and back inside, "If anyone comes in here use this." Marcus hands her his pistol.
"I'll-I'll try cuz." Blu said.
Marcus quickly grabbed his rifle and stepped outside the tent as no one is around. Walking out and looking on the ground, bullet casings, blood and guns all around the floor. "What the hell." He whispered as he holds his rifle steady and searches around.
Then hears a sort of munching noise behind one of the military jeeps. "H-hello." Marcus peeps as he walks behind the jeep and sees one of the undead eating one of the soldiers.
He stares at the undead person as he eats, he points the barrel of the rifle behind the person's head and shoots him the blood splatters all over the floor as the person falls to the ground dead. "What-what the heck are one of these things doing here?" he asked himself then a thought came to him, "Blu." as he rushes back to the tent, but the sound of gunshots and screaming for help comes from his tent.
"No, Blu!" Marcus shouted and quickly rushes inside the tent seeing Blu on the ground as she holds the undead person away from her, but the person leans close and bites into Blu's shoulder as she screams in pain. "No!" Marcus shouted and wrapped his arm around the undead person's neck to hold it down but the person quickly bites down into Marcus's arm and he too shouts in pain.
Quickly, he throws the person onto the ground and stomps on his head until he crushes it hard till blood and mush come out from its head. Marcus took deep breathes and goes over to help Blu up. "Cuz, are you alright?" Marcus asked her as she trying to take deep breathes from the amount of pain she's in.
"I-I don't think so cuz," Blu said as she looks at her shoulder and back at Marcus, "I'm gonna turn into one of those things, aren't I?"
"No, you're not cuz, you won't." Marcus said as he helps her up, "I won't let you-I'm not going lose you," Marcus said as he hugged her, Blu hugs him back as she sobs quietly, "Come on we need to get back to the car we have to get out of here."
"Right behind you Marcus." Blu said.
They hurried off to where they left the car, but once they head to where it is, it was gone. "No, dammit no. Marcus exclaimed.
"What now?" Blu asked.
"We make a run for the CDC lab we should be safe in there." Marcus said and the two quickly rushed to the CDC doors, but once they got the doors, they lock down and blocked their way in. "Son of-we need to get out of here cuz." Marcus said.
"Where Marcus, these things are everywhere and your car is gone." Blu exclaimed as more undead people start to show up, Marcus and Blu hold up their guns getting ready to shoot.
"Remember cuz, aim for their heads." Marcus said, and they quickly started shooting their guns at the undead people they all fall to the ground dead with every shot until finally they saw no more.
With their guns fire smokes, the two panted, "I think that's all of them." Blu panted, until they hear a loud roar.
"Looks like not cuz." Marcus said as he and Blu hold up their guns, but they started to hear loud stomping as a tall buff undead soldier stands in front of them and roars. "Oh shit, shoot him cuz!" Marcus yelled out.
Blu and Marcus aimed a shot to his head, but he just looks at them, not even going down, and he roars louder. "Oh god," Blu yelped.
As the Marcus holds Blu's hand and hugged her, the two close their eyes for its over for them, but and the shutters open as Hicks and a few of his soldiers come out and around the two and started to shoot the big infected soldier, they open their eyes as to see Hicks, "Get inside quickly!" Hicks shouted.
Marcus and Blu ran quickly inside seeing the buff soldier not going down he walks to Hicks and his men picking one of them up, ripping him in half, and throws him on the ground as he walks to another and punches through the soldier seeing his hand coming out through his back and he walks to another one ripping off his head seeing the spinal cord still attached to the soldier's head as he throws it on the ground. "Shit, fall back fall back inside now!" Hicks shouted at his soldiers run back inside, and quickly presses a red button on the wall closing the shudders back up hearing the buff undead soldier pound the shutters.
Everyone pants even the two still hugging each other, "Thanks…thanks for saving us sergeant." Marcus said.
Hicks looks at Marcus and Blu as he and his soldiers point their guns at them. "Woah whoa, what are you doing? Blu said in shock.
"You two are bitten, that's how it starts, we've seen it. You two can't be trusted yet, until we see you turn." Hicks said as he holds gunpoint to Blu.
Marcus pushed it away from her, "Alright, just please put the guns down." Marcus said. Hicks and his men lower their guns as they grab Marcus and Blu taking them hold.
As they were sent to a white room, the two sits in the room for hours scared of turning into the undead, but they didn't show any symptoms or even a fever which worries the two, but then Hicks walks into the room.
"So, what are-what are you going to do to us sergeant?" Marcus asked.
"I'm gonna take you two down to Dr. Whites' lab, she wants to see you two." Hicks said as he takes Marcus and Blu down to Dr. Whites' lab.
"Well, hello you two." Dr. White greeted them.
"Umm hello?" Blu greeted back cautiously.
"Hi, um why did you want us here?" Marcus questioned.
"Oh, I just want to run a little blood test is all." Dr. White said as she grabbed two syringes and proceeds on poking Blu and then Marcus as she's taking out some of their blood.
A couple hours later, Dr. White comes back and looks at them.
"Well, what is it Doc." Marcus said.
"Well, I just don't know what to say, but it seems that both you and your cousin's blood are special." Dr. White told us.
"Special, special how?" Blu asked.
"Well, it seems that when the virus infects you it doesn't multiply nor kills your blood cells but your body, the virus just dies it's amazing." Dr. White said.
"So, you're saying even if we get bitten by those things we won't turn into them like everyone else has?" Marcus questioned.
"Correct, oh, and I'm going to need to run more test on you two, so I'm gonna need more of your blood I must find out more about this miracle." Dr. White said.
"Woah whoa Doc, we're not gonna be your guinea pigs." Marcus talked back to Dr. White.
As the words came, she turned her head, "Well if you refuse," she nodded at Hicks and he pointed his rifle at them, ", then I have no choice but to order the Sergeant to kill you." Dr. White said.
"Y-your crazy, your gonna kills us just like that. Just because we refuse to be your lab rats?" Blu argued.
"The price must be paid for science, dear." Dr. White said.
As Hicks is ready to shoot one of them, "You are one crazy bitch." Marcus said, suddenly he rushed to Hicks, grabbing the end of the rifle and hitting Hicks in the front of his head taking the rifle, he quickly grabs Blu arm and they run.
"Mayday! Mayday! This is Dr. White, two of the civilians are escaping the lab, do not let them escape! Stop them at all cost now!" Dr. White yelled out.
Marcus and Blu quickly ran as some of the soldiers start shooting at them as they ran, they had finally made it to the entrance where they came in, the soldiers come up behind them pointing the guns at them. "Stand down now or we will open fire." The soldier said. Marcus quickly looks around thinking of a plan when he still here's the banging outside.
He grinned, "I don't think so." as he pushed the red button, he and Blu ran away from the shutter doors while they're opening the buff undead soldier sees all the other soldiers and he walks to them.
"Thug, take it down, take it down." The soldiers start shooting the Thug, but he doesn't go down and he knocks some of the soldiers back and he rips some apart.
"Now's our chance, let's go Blu." Marcus said as he grabs her arm and they quickly run as avoiding all the undead people.
Until they stop at a local gas station, they both hide inside and gasp to catch their breath. "So, so let me get this straight, we're immune to whatever this virus is?" Blu questioned while she pants.
"Yeah, according to that doctor, considering we haven't gotten a fever or turned into one of the things." Marcus said.
"True point, so what do we do now? Blu asked.
"Well, first off, we need to get out of this city now that those soldiers are looking for us. We need to find somewhere, where we can hide and be safe away from the soldiers." Marcus said.
"And those infected people?" Blu asked.
"Why cuz, we can't turn, what's the point in hiding from them?" Marcus said.
"Marcus, we may be immune to the virus, but that doesn't mean we can't die from them tearing us apart and eating us." Blu exclaims.
"Good point," he loaded his rifle, "let's get moving then, before those soldiers catch up."
"Right." Blu said as the two exit the gas station and head off to find a quick way out of the city.
