Chapter 4: Dangerous Wanderings
15:00 PM, 8th May 1995
In the midst of the chaos Seth, Tim and Victoria had ended up separated from the others. Now they were moving together through the streets, trying to avoid the crazed citizens as more and more began acting like the others.
"What is with these people?" Tim exclaimed, "They're acting...I don't know, zombies."
Victoria looked at him, "Zombies, like, horror movie zombies?" She asked incredulously, Tim nodded.
Seth stopped them as they exited an alleyway; he directed their attention to the barricade that had been set up by the U.B.C.S. The U.B.C.S. were there and firing at a large group of crazies who seemed to shrug off the bullets as if it was nothing, they reached the U.B.C.S. soldiers and grabbed on and began biting them, devouring flesh. Seth turned back to the others.
"I'd agree with Tim, zombies sound about right." He said, Victoria nodded and grimaced.
After crossing the street, avoiding looking at the carnage to their left, Seth sighed.
"Okay look, we're gonna need weapons if we wanna survive, we should at least be able to slow down those things enough to run." The others nodded but there was just one problem, as Tim pointed out, "Where are we gonna get weapons?"
Seth smirked, "I used to work for the army, I was an air force pilot but I've been trained in firearms use and, after I left the air force I still helped the army, with their weapons manufacturing. If they need new guns made or current weapons repaired, I'm one of the people they come to. By pure luck we're not to far from where I work, let's go."
They others agreed and they followed Seth as he led him to the large building where we worked.
They arrived at the building, the door was locked, luckily Seth had the key so he quickly opened the door. They stepped inside, they looked around, making sure none of the crazies were inside. The place was empty so they followed Seth to the locked shelves were several guns and other weapons were placed. Seth input a code into the button lock and unlocked the shelves.
"Okay guys, grab some weapons and get as much ammo as you can."
They hurried to arm themselves, looking through the weapons until they found ones that suited. Seth picked up his favourite Spas-12 shotgun and Duel Handguns. Victoria chose a handgun and an assault rifle while Tim chose the handgun twin to Victoria's and a sword. Seth nodded.
"Okay, good," He said satisfied, "We're armed now, our main problem is, they've sealed the gates...But there's gotta be another way out, we've just gotta find it."
They nodded in agreement and, holding their weapons they left the building and headed back out onto the streets.

Anita and Harry were making slow progress down the street, not to far from the news building. Harry's injury meant Anita had to support him and of course she muttered and complained the whole time.
"Sooner we run into someone else the better," She muttered, despite her complaints however she wasn't going to leave Harry behind, he was one of the few who she trusted.
They continued until they turned the next street and found a group of U.B.C.S. soldiers, one raised his weapon.
"Hold it, who goes there!" He growled, Anita glared, "Get that thing outta my face."
Harry raised his hand, "Hey relax," He said, diplomatically, "We're civilians."
The head of the group lowered his gun, "You guys can't be walking around with those...things out there, go over to our ammunition truck, get some weaponry and ammo."
They agreed and headed over to the truck, the U.B.C.S. soldiers were tense, on high alert. Once inside the truck, Harry immediately grabbed the nearest weapon he could, an assault rifle, with plenty of ammo. Anita took a longer time to decide before finally grabbing a high powered magnum and a grenade launcher with flash rounds. They left the truck and found chaos, a horde of the cannibal killers had appeared and were attacking the U.B.C.S. Knowing they could take chances they hurried away from the carnage as quickly as they could.

Seth, Tim and Victoria continued their search through the streets, but were unable to make much progress. As they walked however they kept running into the zombies, or witnessing skirmishes between them and the U.B.C.S. Finally they stopped briefly to take a break.
"Okay, I know we're trying to get out but...What if they're other survivors, people who need our help?" Tim asked.
Victoria shook her head, "We'll help 'em of course, we're not gonna leave people behind to die, right?"
Seth nodded in agreement. Tim was about to cross the street when Seth spotted something and grabbed him.
"Get back!" He yelled as a truck tore past them, narrowly missing them, the driver was a zombie whose foot was jammed on the accelerator.
The truck crashed into the barricade and exploded, knocking the trio off their feet. When they recovered they heard the groans and apart from one side street the zombies were pouring in.
"C'mon, hurry, down there!" Seth yelled as he and the others ran.
They hurried down the street, there were very few buildings and most were closed down, one however had lights on, they hurried over and found the door unlocked, they hurried in and found themselves staring down the barrel of a handgun.
"Don't move!"
"Hey wait, don't shoot!" Seth called out, they finally saw the wielder, it was Gary Keaton, they were in his shop.
He lowered his gun and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You guys," He breathed, "You were at the gate, what are you doin' here, this town's going to hell?"
"Yeah we know," Tim replied, "We're trying to find a way out, nothing so far."
Gary sighed, "Okay guys, I...look out!"
He darted forwards and started firing as the zombies broke down the windows and began to stumble into the room. The trio backed off and opened fire but the zombies kept coming and soon overwhelmed Gary and began to devour him.
"Run!" He screamed before the zombies devoured him, they then came for the others.
"Quickly, out the back!" Seth yelled and they darted out, closing and jamming the door shut behind them.
"Great, now what," Victoria asked, neither Tim nor Seth said anything, they had no answer.

J staggered down the street, his head still pounding, the light-headed feeling was starting to fade, but still felt unsteady.
'I've got my handgun but...I doubt that'd be enough, I've gotta find more weaponry.' He looked up and smiled, 'Excellent, just what I was looking for.'
He hurried, as quickly as he could, over to the army supply store. He reached the door, it was locked, he groaned and shook his head. Before picking up a brick from the ground and breaking the window, he reached in and released the lock before opening the door. He hurried inside and looked around.
"Time to take my pick," He muttered before heading through the weapon racks.
Finally he picked his weapons, another handgun and a pair of shotguns along with plenty of ammunition. He turned to leave when suddenly he fell to the floor sharply in pain.
"What, what the..." He choked out and then noticed something he had missed before. On his right inner forearm was a small injection sight, stemming from the sight heading up his arm, his veins had become more prominent than before and something appeared to be moving up his arm. Almost as quickly as it came the pain passed and his arm went back to its normal appearance, only the injection sight remained.
'What was that?' He thought, terrified as suddenly flashes of the past came to him, shortly after the events that led to him being covered in blood.
He was lying on the ground, hovering on the verge of unconsciousness; he could make out a figure approaching him. He couldn't see a face but he could make out a pair of black dress pants; a blue dress shirt; black tie; a white lab coat; white socks and black shoes. The figure stepped forwards, in his hand was a syringe filled with a strange blue coloured liquid. Slowly he knelt down and injected the liquid into J's arm; he then stood up, and pocketed the syringe and left quickly.
J shook his head, whatever was going on, he had no time to figure it out, he left the shop, desperate to find a way out of the stricken city.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
