Harvest Moon: Resident Evil
Chapter Twenty Four: Escape
Danny had successfully unlocked the door and lost the zombies. But now he had to face one terrible fact.
He was lost.
He had no clue where to go.
"Where is an exit?" he asked aloud.
He had been wandering through the mazelike halls for nearly thirty minutes after he had killed Patrick.
And since Patrick had died, Danny was the alone.
Alone.
He was the only one left.
Every minute seemed like an hour to him. He felt like giving up, but he had to carry on.
He knew he would escape eventually. He had too. He couldn't just die like this.
He wouldn't allow himself to.
At an unknown time, Danny heard moaning. He recognized that moan...
There were zombies nearby.
He checked his revolver. There was only five bullets left.
He would have to make do with what he had...
A zombie came around the corner. Quickly, Danny took aim and decapitated it with a bullet.
After that, two more arrived on the scene. Danny shot one in the head, but missed the other's head and hit it's chest. Quickly, he took care of the problem by aiming correctly and shooting the head, this time he did not miss.
"Damn!" he said. "One bullet! I'm fucked if there are more!"
And the worst happened – more zombies arrived around the corner. Way more than just one. Danny counted five. And by the moaning, he could tell there were more coming.
"Shit!"
In a panic, he shot one in the head, then turned and ran.
And then he saw it.
A trapdoor!
It was an exit!
"Hah!" he said. "I'll see you jackasses later!"
He quickly ran up the stairs and pushed the trapdoor open
(((SFR)))
It hurt to see the sunlight. But he didn't have time to try and recover, he quickly ran onto the grass, turned around, and shut the trapdoor. Quickly, as the trapdoor slowly bobbed up and down, a hand sticking out, he grabbed a heavy boulder and placed it atop the trapdoor. The hand was crushed.
Danny turned around.
He was at the digging site. The trapdoor was the color of the rock, it was very hard to detect.
But Danny didn't have time to observe it.
There were two zombies walking towards him.
Danny had no bullets left, so he had only one resort – dodging.
As he walked closer, he recognized Chris and Wally. He quickly ducked and ran beside them. The slowly turned around and began the pursuit.
Danny slowed to a walking pace as he reached the fence to Vesta's ruined crop fields. As he walked onto the grass, he saw more zombies heading his way. One was down the hill, by the riverbank. It was Galen.
Danny felt saddened by the sight of his old friend in undead form; as did the sights of Grant and Samantha.
But sadness turned to fear when he heard the roar.
There, down at the cobble path, was Vesta.
Danny quickly turned and ran down the path. He had to reach the mountains! There he would be able to reach the city, and there he could find help.
He ran possibly quicker than Vesta's speed as a Crimson head. As soon as he was at the top of the path, he disappeared.
The zombies couldn't climb the steep path, they didn't know how. They merely stumbled up, then fell back down. They kept trying to walk up, but failed each time.
(((SFR)))
Danny ran down the path in a terrible rush. In a few minute's time, he would reach the big city. He slowed to a walk after he was sure he had lost the zombies.
When he reached a turn, he saw the city.
But he didn't like what he saw.
Some of the buildings were on fire. The windows were broken, the ones that weren't broken were either cracked or stained with blood.
As he walked into the city, he could tell by the sights that the virus had more devastating effect than he had thought.
There were crashed cars against the building walls. Newspapers were covering the streets. Bloodstains were spotted every few feet, in every size and shape.
Danny knew there was more in store for him.
The horror had just yet begun...
To be continued...?
Well, that's it for now. Check the upcoming projects section of my profile daily; I might have an HMRE 2 in there soon!
Thanks to all my reviewers, you were great. I hope to see you there if I do make an HMRE 2!
Sincerely, SFR.
