SomeDude xP chapter 6 . 9h ago
I bet that on the near future Hershel is going to make use of the radio that was given in need of someone saving his ass.
Oh you know it lol it won't be long
SomeDude xP chapter 5 . Dec 14
A short but nice chapter, the boys had a good run in town and it seems there may still be hope for our boy Shane.
Also wonder what's going to be your plan with the farm and with the bigger crew this time around.
yeah I would of liked to make it longer but the majority of the episodes 5-10 were focused on something that didn't happen this time around so decided to do some supply and planning mechanics to fill in the time lol to be honest Shane in my opinion didn't really love Lori it was the sacristy of women that drew him to Lori and Loris need to protect Carl and herself that drove her to him with more women around that issue is alleviated and not a super pressing issue.
I hope you continue to read my story as it comes out and hey if im taking too long why not check out my other work although I do plan on having this and maybe one more chapter released before continuing my Star wars Rebels story. so there will be more to come if this keeps getting the attention it does after I completed the Battlestar Galactica Leonis Republic Navy story I didn't think this series would surpass it.
The night had been long and pretty boring as I stumbled to my room on the second floor after being relieved by Brandon. Lori and Carl were still asleep. Lying down next to Lori on the bed my exhaustion took over as my eyelids became as heavy as bricks. Before I knew it I was asleep and yet I was standing on the ridgeline over the Greene farm in my old body.
This means I think as I turn to look at the tree, not at all surprised to see Rick leaning against the trunk in his tan uniform.
Rick "hi again Philip"
Philip "Always good to see you Rick"
Rick "from the looks of things." he says as our surroundings suddenly shift to the now heavily fortified two story house surrounded by vehicles supplies and people. "You're doing a hell of a job compared to what I had done by this point."
The scene shifted to several points directly from the show everyone wandering through the woods looking for Sophia people camping out in tents, cars, and RVs. encountering the odd walker and not having the ammo to waste beating them down with everything they could get their hands on.
Barely getting by surviving mostly from food given to them from Hershel. The scene again jumping back to the daily meals with full plates the group had enjoyed this time around. The food and other supplies they were actually giving Hershel allowing them more of a selection then they had in months.
Philip "yeah well it wasn't just me the others did plenty."
I feel a tug in my mind as the scene shifts again showing Bob, Brandon, Shane, and everyone else working hard salvaging buildings and cars. Lori, Carol, Andrea, Amy, Angelica, and Lauren cleaning, cooking, watching over the kids, and in a few cases getting their hands dirty helping kill or pile the walkers up to be burned.
Rick "yes but thanks to you they had the means to protect themselves and that gave them the time to train to better survive in this new world"
The scenery shifts to me handing out the rifles and combat vest of ammo. Leading the supply run into Atlanta to grab more food before we even needed it. My choices of looting the dozens of military check points and vehicles along the way.
Philip "Ok let's just agree to disagree ok?" looking at the man whose body I guess you could say I stole "so what have you been doing? You must get bored just watching me live your life."
The scene shifts again and I feel slightly embarrassed it's my room from before I died. The walls are covered in posters from my favorite movies like Star wars, Terminator, and Battle of Los Angles. There was even more from the anime I enjoyed watching Overlord, the Overcautious hero, how not to summon a demon lord, and Konosuba.
Hanging from the ceiling was dozens of air and spacecraft models ranging from real life F-22 raptors and F-18 Super hornets B2 Spirit Bombers, Apache helicopters, and Black Hawks all surrounded by everything from clone ARC-170s to imperial TIE fighters and rebel X-wings all the way up to Omega class destroyers from Babylon 5 and Venator class star destroyers.
Along one wall was a book shelf surrounding the window filled with books and manga. I fondly remembered some of my favorite authors Jack Campbell, John Ringo, David Weber, and Taylor Anderson. Fondly looking at the complete series The Lost fleet, Destroyermen, Polseen wars, Animorphs and Hells Gate, I wonder if they existed in this universe as well? if they do I want to find them so I can reread them in my free time.
Another wall was dominated by ocean going ships and subs ranging from ships of sail like the USS Constitution and the USS Bonhomme Richard all the way up to modern warships like the USS Missouri and USS Midway complete with miniature fighters on the flight deck. All of this surrounding my TV with PS3 and Xbox360 and a plethora of games.
Rick was sitting in the office chair I used at my desk "it turns out when you opened your mind last time it opened your old life's memories as well so I have been watching and reading everything you have."
Philip "oh….well….um"
Rick "it's no wonder you were able to adjust so well being reincarnated into my body you have read and watched quite a bit of this kind of stuff." he was about to continue when the models began to shake.
Philip "well I guess it's time for me to go take care and I will do my best to protect Carl and Lori."
My room began to fade and the spinning ceiling fan of the Grimes bedroom began to take form. Coming aware of my surroundings I notice Carl and Lori were both gone. Looking at my watch im surprised to see it's almost nine o'clock. Getting dressed checking the cylinder of my revolver I slip the gun into my holster.
Heading downstairs there isn't a soul inside opening the door I see Carl and Sophia playing on some playground equipment that must have come some kid's backyard from the housing area. Dale was walking the perimeter of the fence groups were here and there doing their own thing.
Walking around looking at everything we had acquired I noticed with pride everyone was walking around all of them armed with their rifles or shotguns combat slung over their chest or strapped to their back. Each of them had pistols on their hips or drop down thigh holsters. About Half a dozen others were walking along the outside edge of the fence keeping watch on the surrounding woods giving everyone the same sense of peace and serenity we had on the farm just on a smaller scale.
We stayed away from the farm just as Hershel had asked with more than enough food for almost a year and in a new fenced area crops were uprooted from other farms and seemed to take to the new ground just right. it was only enough to test how the crops would react to being dug up and replanted somewhere else when things go hot I'd like to bring as much already growing food to the prison as I can people can only survive off of canned food for so long after all.
We were able to mostly relax for four days there was still the occasional walker or group of them. Conserving ammo we waited for the ones to make it past the street sign post spears. The ones that did were dispatched with bayonets and other knives. Surprisingly there were a few walkers that had guns or other useful equipment which went immediately into our stash.
On the fifth day a series of vehicles were seen driving into town. More than Hershel had or needed hopping on the radio. it took a few minutes to get Hershel on the line but he finally answered
Hershel "What can I do for you Rick"
Rick "Hey Hershel, we just saw three vehicles driving into town did you send Otis and some others into town?"
Hershel "No Otis and everyone else is still here. Are you sure its not any of your people?"
Rick "no its none of ours, we have a strict procedure for our patrols and we have been staying away from the town and your farm for almost a week now."
Hershel "Thanks for the warning we will keep our heads down."
Rick "no problem if anything happens let us know I'll have a team ready to go at a moment's notice if need be."
Hershel "it won't be needed but thanks"
For the next two days life returned to normal everyone was growing used to the safety and security of our new home. Those that got stir crazy went out in clearance teams using mostly bows. There was even talk of erecting a new fenced area simply to expand our safe areas.
However there wasn't time as echoing gunshots from the Greene farm precluded the radio announcement begging for help they were being shot at and that Otis was already dead…
