A/N: this chapter will skip to when the united pack reaches the city of Denver, where is completely deserted for some reason. This will show about everyone arriving, but see the reason why Denver is completely deserted .

Two days, two days it took for the convoy to leave the state of Nevada and reach the area of Denver, Colorado. Luckily the vehicles had passed a few gas stations along the way and managed to stay out of trouble as they drove through the empty, lifeless, quiet, deserted road.

Somewhere in the middle of the road, an SUV was on the side of the road in a ditch with the side doors open. In the left side of the road, a walker was feeding off a recent dead wolf and already pulled out the intestines and lower stomach with it all over the road. As it was swallowing the bloody guts, it turns around to a noise to see a RV wheel run right over it and crush the head and explode the brains out.

"Oooohhh" said everyone in the RV. "Oh boy, that was a juicy one right there" Said Hager, who was the driver. The blood stained the front of the RV, but it didn't matter to him since they ran over 13 in the last 3 hours. Everyone was following behind in the convoy for the last 200 miles, hoping to find help in Denver.

Hager and group in the RV soon passed a sign saying: 'Welcome to Denver, the kindest place to visit'. Sure enough that the sign was missing pieces and hand blood stains covering it. But was so strange that road was now crumbled and smoke lowed through the air. Then there would be fire on the trees, which were completely burned to the ground and trees were now nothing more than twigs burning.

"What the hell happened here?" Jade asked looking outside the window. Everyone in the rest of the convoy looked around them, seeing the destruction of the outbreak. Humphrey pulled out a radio and spoke to everyone. "Stay sharp everyone, the fire is fresh. So it may have started in less than a day from the looks of it." He informed.

Soon Hager could see the outline of the city of Denver within the smoke. But when the smoke cleared, everyone in front was shocked by the sight. Then Hager pulled out the radio again. "Uh, Humphrey," he said. "What's the problem Hager?" Humphrey responded while Hager continued looking at the sight. "You better take a look at this" he said.

Humphrey and Kate were both confused at first. But when they and Alberto's group drove through the smoke, everyone had their eyes wide and mouths open.

The sight of city of Denver was completely shocking. Every building, every street, every home, and everything were all destroyed. Everything was in rubble and nothing tall stood up anymore, cars were in pieces, almost everything was flatted, as for infected, there was nothing moving in the streets. No zombies at all. "Holy god" Garth said watching the sight go by.

Some of the girls let out a few tears and covered their mouths from crying. Some of the guys did a pray to everyone who ever died in this disaster. The group thought that the city would have at least infected walking around the streets, but this was unexpected.

The convoy continued moving through the streets outside the city and drove by and found their selves driving down a dirt road heading into the not destroyed forest. The trees were still standing and still green, which means nothing happened there.

Hager stopped the RV and the rest of the convoy stopped as well in a line and everyone got out of their vehicles. Humphrey ran ahead of everyone and looked around their surroundings. "Alright everyone, listen up" he announced as everyone came around.

"Whatever happened in the city, it looked like it didn't reach here. So I think its best we rest here and stay away from the city for whatever reasons it ended up that way" Humphrey explained to everyone. Then he looked up at the sky and looked back at everyone. "It's going to get dark soon, I suggest we hurry and set up camp here, everyone got it?" he said. Everyone nodded.

Everyone went to the cars and unpacked the tents and bags from them. Then Alberto walked up to him when everyone left. "What the fuck do you think happened to the city Humphrey, you said that we could seek shelter there and look at it now" Alberto said. Humphrey just signed and spoke back. "I don't know, but it's gotta be dangerous if it like that. My best guess is to stay away from what remains of Denver at all cost". Humphrey told.

Alberto nodded and walked towards his son, who was standing next to the moving van. Humphrey then turned around to see Kate looking at him. "Do you think it's safe out here after what we just saw earlier?" she asked, hoping for an answer. "Look, whatever happened back there, it looked like it didn't affect here" Humphrey said, which made Kate put her head down. "Kate" Humphrey lifted her head. "Trust me; you have nothing to worry about" Kate let out a small smile and pulled Humphrey into a hug."Come one, let set up camp already" Humphrey said walking back with to everyone.

The next morning. . .

Humphrey was sleeping in his tent with Kate in his arms when his ears perked up to the sound of digging coming from outside. He sits up and looks around outside his tent. It was still early and no one was up yet. Then he hears more digging coming from the tree in front of him. Humphrey gets out of the tent and looks around to see Shakey far off in the distance up in the hills. Humphrey grabs his M9 and walks over towards where Shakey was digging.

Humphrey then walks up to see 6 holes in the ground, and Shakey digging the 7th hole. "Hey Shakey" He calls out, but he didn't answer. He just kept digging like he didn't hear anything. Humphrey looked at his friend, who was sweating on his back, chest, neck and forehead; he looks like he's been out here for hours. "Shakey you feeling okay bro?" Humphrey asked him.

Shakey continued digging and didn't stop for a break or looking up. Humphrey didn't think he would listen and walked back to camp, where everyone was up and doing their tasks. Then Garth looked up from cleaning his gun and spoke. "Hey Humphrey, up for an early jog?" Everyone laughed. "Well I'll be damned" Salty said looking through a pair of binoculars. "What?" Care asked.

"I see a lake" Salty answered. Everyone seemed excited from hearing him for no one, and meaning no one had gotten to wash up for the last month. "Finally some water" Lilly said in relief. "Where is it Salty?" Kate asked. "Uh, I think it's about less than half a mile away from here" He answered. Everyone then took off in the direction of where Salty said the lake would be.

Kate, Lilly, Jade, John, Hager, Susie, Matthew, Carez, Humphrey, Garth, Alberto, and the rest of the group raced through the trees and bushes to for about 5 minutes to come to cliff edge to see a green-blue clear lake about the size of stadium fields. "This is amazing" Garth spoke out. He looked down towards the lake, which was about 10 feet from the ground. "Do you think it's safe?" Jade asked looking down at the lake. That's when Hager suddenly jumped from the cliff edge and landed in the water in a huge splash.

"Does that answer your question?" Matthew asked. Suddenly Shakey came walking out from the forest covered in dirt and sweating. Everyone turns around to him coming out of the forest and see him exhausted. "Shakey, what the hell were you doing back there?" Humphrey asked walking up to him. "I had this dream in the middle of the night . . . telling me to dig holes" Shakey answered. "What for?" Kate asked. "I . . . I can't remember" Shakey said as he walked back towards the camp grounds.

That's' when they hear a radio transmission coming from Carez's radio. "Hello . . . . Anyone alive there?" a voice said. Carez tuned in and spoke. "Yes, who's this?" "Name's Lake, I have another guy with me. Where are you guys?" Lake said over the radio.

"About 3 miles north of outside of Denver" Carez said. There was no answer back. "Hello?" he said. "Uh, we're in the city of Denver." Lake said over the radio. Everyone around hearing was shocked by their location. "They need our help" Humphrey informed.

A/N: looks like there two more survivors in the Colorado state. But will they survive making it out alive?
