Jason went back over to the tv and saw footage of the army right outside of the city limits, a reporter was talking to one of the soliders in command, the solider said that road blocks had been set up at every entrance and exit to the town, making sure none of the zombies could get out. And no pedestrians were to wonder into the town. The solider said that squads would be sent in to look for any survivors, and kill any of the undead that were wondering the streets. Jason hoped that they would arrive soon or he was going to go crazy. Jason wondered around the convinent store looking for something to eat, he picked up a pack of hotdogs and turned on the roller oven. He threw two of the hotdogs on the roller oven and turned the timer to 10 mintues like the instructions said.
He went and found a pack of rolls and took some packets of ketchup and mustard from behind the concession counter. He went back over to the tv and saw the soliders being loaded into hummers and driven to the entrances of the town. It would be a while before they got to where he was located, seeing as how he was almost directly in the middle of town. He went and opened up a door leading to a back room, he saw the edge of a trap door under a rug on the floor in the storage closet. He pulled the rug back and lifted the handle to the trap door, he lifted it up and saw a small switch on the side of the entrance, he flipped the switch and lights came on in the small room below.
He climbed down the steep stairs and looked at the small living quarters the owner of the store had made up. He noticed a large chest sitting up against the wall by the bed, he went over and sat on the bed, he pulled the chest over infront of him and pulled open the top. Inside were some army fatigues along with a camo shirt and ammo vest, he pulled out the fatigues, shirt, and ammo vest and layed them on the bed. They looked about the same size he wore, so he changed out of his old ragged clothes and changed into the fatigues and camo shirt along with the combat boots. He noticed a piece of plywood laying on the bottom of the chest, he pulled up the plywood and found an M16, along with a military issue Colt 45.
There were boxes of bullets for both the colt and the M16 along with four grenades, the guns came with ten clips for the 45, and eight, thirty round clips for the M16. He pulled out the boxes of ammo and threw them on the bed, he took out the clips one by one and loaded them putting them in the ammo vest as he was finished. The left over bullets he put in the side pockets on his fatigues and buttoned the pockets up so they wouldn't fall out if he fell or tripped. He picked up the M16 and popped a clip into the hand grip, he then picked up the 45 and loaded a clip and put the 45 into the holster that was built into the ammo vest. He put all his gear on and climbed up the stairs back into the store, he looked over at the oven and saw that his hotdogs had burnt to a crisp and weren't even worth trying to eat.
He pulled open one of the freezers and took out an enery drink popped the top and started drinking it, he found some deli sandwiches that were in another freezer and pulled out a club sandwich and went back over to the TV and started eating. There was a camera man traveling with one of the hummers driving down one of the roads of Forest Acres, the camera man was recording footage of the turret gunner, gunning down hordes of zombies walking the streets aimlessly looking for some human flesh to eat. In no time at all the floor of the hummer was covered in empty shells from the machine gun, the gunner had to stop firing and reload the ammo case before he could continue mowing the zombies down. The camera man continued filming the massacre when all of a sudden the hummer came to a complete stop, he stood up in the hummer and pointed the camera at the front, the camera started shaking as the man saw an endless crowd of zombies coming down the street. The camera man continued filming as all the soliders in the hummer layed fire upon the crowd of zombies, the driver tried to turn around and go the other way, but the hummer had been surrounded by zombies.
The men had no chance of putting up a fight, the zombies quickly overrun the hummer and ate all the soliders alive, Jason couldn't believe his eyes as the camera had fallen on the roof of the hummer and was still filming the gruesome scene of the zombies mutilating the bodies of the dead soliders. Jason quickly shut off the TV and went over to the door, the zombies that were earlier banging on the door, had wondered off in search of an easier supply of food, Jaosn pulled up the bar and slowly opened the door. He pulled out the Colt 45 not knowing what to expect, the coast was clear, except for a few stray zombies wondering the streets, Jason was free to roam the streets while still being cautious. Jason pulled back the slide on the 45 loading a round into the chamber, slowly walking down the street Jason heard gunshots a little ways down the street. He took off into a sprint and saw a solider up the road firing at a group of zombies, he was hurt and laying on the ground firing his handgun, Jason pulled his M16 from around his shopulder.
Putting the M16 on full auto Jason let loose on the trigger and mowed down the zombies trying to attack the solider, after the clip ran dry, all the zombies were dead on the ground. Jason walked over to the downed solider and helped him to his feet, he had twisted his ankle but was able to walk. Jason ejected the empty clip from the M16, and loaded a new one into the grip of the gun. The solider asked Jason what group he was with, Jason said he wasn't in the army, but just a civillian trying to fight for his life and get out of town alive. Jason asked the solider what his name was, the solider told him Private Michael Johnson.
