Chapter 1 : The Rangerstation
Marcus quickly grabbed a nearby stick and hit one of the men attacking Ed. After the physco wouldn't go down he hit him again, and again.
"Shit, man! These things don't stop!" Ed stomped on the skull of one and started attacking another.
"Just keep hitting them and break their fucking skull!" Marcus screamed while he bashed his knee into a nearby downed foe's skull.
As the last one went down, the two men breathed heavily and tried to process what just happened through their mind.
"You okay?" Marcus asked.
"Yeah. One of those physcos' tried to bite me but, yeah, I'm fine." Ed wiped blood off his hands and onto his pants. "Rangerstation?"
"Rangerstation. Maybe we can find someone who can help us there."
"God. Where gone for one week and everyone takes up cannibalism!"
"I dunno. Whole situation seems pretty messed up to me."
As Marcus and Ed headed up the trail to the Rangerstation to find some help, they saw a poor man's corpse lying on the ground and five or six bodies crowding it. The people were tearing the man's flesh out piece by piece. He wasn't even recognizable.
"I think I'm gonna puke!" Ed gagged and held his stomach.
"Well, get used to it. And just stay down low, maybe they won't see us." Taking charge, Marcus crouched down and crawled into a nearby bush with Ed slowly crawling behind him. The two reached a wall and swiftly climbed over it, making a lot of noise in the process. Attracting a few infected towards them. Ed took his table leg and bashed one directly in the middle of its head, killing it instantly.
"Hey, I'm getting good at this!" Ed flexed until an infected grabbed him from behind, that Marcus pushed off of him and stomped onto it's skull.
"Pay attention, dumbass." Marcus mocked.
"Whatever. Let's just run the rest of the way. I can see the station from here."
"Wai-" But Ed was far gone before Marcus could warn him to keep quiet. Marcus quickly ran after his friend and opened the door to the ranger station.
"Help me move this against the wall, I need to clear a path for the wounded." The man was in charge. "Wendell, start doing an inventory of all the medical supplies we've got. Were gonna need them."
Ed was already is there, bewildered at the sight of bitten people cowering on the floor.
"Man can anybody tell me what the hell is going on?" Marcus was flustered with annoyance, really wanting to know what was wrong.
"What's going on is that there is more of them up here than I expected. We need to sweep the rest of the cabins for survivors. But I've got wounded to tend to. " Marcus noticed that the man's name tag read Thomas.
"Alright. We'll see what we can do."
"We will?" Ed was wanting to crash at the Rangerstation and lay back until everything was over.
"There is a water tower outside, you can go take a look. I appreciate it. Take everything you need." Thomas went back to taking people's temperature's and checking their pulses. He wrapped bandages around a girl's arm and leg. Marcus pushed Ed outside and they climbed up the water tower.
"Nice view.." Marcus mumbled to himself as he took a look. A supply store and about three cabins they could scavenge. He also spotted a nice truck they could use. Interrupting his thoughts gunshots could be heard in the distance.
Sorry for another short chapter, I'm running out of inspiration. I promise the rest will be at least 1,500-2,000 words long each chapter.
I'll just go play some more State of Decay, maybe that'll make me feel better.
Also, I'm kinda sick so...
Just next chapter, expect more. Cause there will be more. Promise.

I do not own State of Decay. Sadly.
