Again!
Hey!
"Are you sure this is safe?"
Ted sighed. He was asked that question for more than once. Infected chunks are edible, cook them and the infection will be gone. Don't eat them raw and you will be fine. Besides, even if it was a tad bit infected, their force field thing or the vaccine would kill the infected cells.
"Yes. It is." He said sternly.
"Won't we get infected?" Ruby fearfully asked.
"Don't worry, Ted knows what he's doing." Samuel reassured. He tasted it before and so far, he ain't dead.
"Should we be assured?" Blake asked.
"Yes, because I tasted it before. And it's all we can find."
"I don't want to be eating what is basically human flesh!" Weiss indignantly said.
"Too bad. Starve or die. Your choice." Samuel finished, taking a bite out of the chunk.
Everyone looked at him, except the operators.
"You'd be surprised at what desperate people do to survive." Higgins muttered, getting a piece.
Team RWBY and Summer was not going to eat, so Samuel went out to get some 'decent' food, as Weiss says. The group waited for him to come back. Higgins went back to the ship to get some MRE for a placeholder food. Team RWBY was displeased by the taste, but still ate. Soon, something knocked on the door. Ted looked back and prepared his LMG, just in case. The rest prepared too, Ted slowly twisted the knob. Suddenly, a Runner's head came through the door, startling the operator. Looking through the hole, he saw Samuel with a shopping cart filled with food.
"Sorry, I'm late. Had a little run in with a pack of bloats." He says as Ted opens the door.
The Remnant dwellers were confused when he said he was 'late'. Higgins shrugged and found a can of beans within the cart.
Suffice to say, they had a good dinner.
Few Hours Later...
"Go! I'll cover you!" Samuel said as he opened fire on the horde behind them.
Apparently, the skyscraper was a hive. As soon as Mors found that out, he covered the group's descent to the bottom. Reaching the bottom of the stairwell, he left a Zombie Antidote. All of the zombies that decided to jump down were severely weakened by the fall and the anitdote killed them. However, a Devastator made a hole away from the antidote so the giant horde came barreling down on the group.
After a few grueling hours of chase and hide, they made out of the skyscraper. Stopping for a moment to rest, Samuel looked out from their hiding spot, seeing a Devastator pass by them. He sighed in relief, turning towards the group. Once they were ready, they made it out.
They were finding military checkpoint to restock. Passing a big canal via a bridge, one look down means seeing all the unfortunate infected stupid enough to go blind. Most were runners, due to their tunnel vision-esque movement. Samuel yawned, it was nearing dawn. The team after going past the bridge, rested at a gasoline station. Samuel scouted out the area, telling the group to stay put.
He was walking around a dilapidated street, occasionally finding an infected. He stopped when he heard a low rumble, and what sounds like a girl screaming. Going towards the source, he saw two things. One was a shitload of Bloaters, six Regurgitators, two of those savage and a planet worth of Puke Worms. Two was four people, two boys and two girls. Samuel sweatdropped, before drawing his Jupiter and antidote.
Throwing the antidote first, he mopped up the rest of the bloaters and worms. The Regurgitators were however puking all the worms out. Seeing no other option, he ran and shot. After turning the corner, he saw the survivors.
The red-headed girl had a ponytail and had Greek style armor, the orange-haired was wearing clothes that seemed to associate with pink, the blonde one was a knight looking like he is going pee and the last one had black hair, one streak of pink, he was wearing Asian looking clothes.
"Waaaaa!!! That was so COOL! You were li-" the orange-haired girl exclaimed before getting cut off.
"Now is not the time! Now is the time to run!" Pushing the four forward.
With my luck, they might be associated with Team RWBY..., Samuel thought.
Getting away from that was fairly easy, as they were slow. The worms were the problem, as they fast as lightning.
Two Hours Later...
"You'd think he'd be here by now." Ted mused. Higgins nodded.
"Eh, he is probably fighting some zombies." Yang said, eating a bag of chips.
"Hey! I'm back!"
"Speak of the devil." Ted said, before noticing the other people behind him.
"I also brought some...visitors..." Samuel said, slowly.
I wasn't kidding.
Bai.
