Pink.R.S - Sorry I know it has been a while since I posted a thing.
It was not until 5 am did the zombies stop coming only then did the survivors restock supplies and prepared to leave. The major rule to survive was to never stay in one place for to long. Some left as the three stayed together, people headed to up north to Canada as was told the zombies are dying out up there. Around Latin America people fought with the smell of rotting flesh due to the tropic weather and humidity, but things were getting better or so was believed. Some people were able to fight the disease where as others were not able to because their immune systems slowly surrendered to the virus that still lingered in the area. It was obvious who would have to get "put down" as it was eventually called, for those few that tried to fight the virus, the symptoms:
Within First Hour: If bitten the area becomes swollen, discolored with throbbing pain. If not bitten the signs do no appear till four or five hours of attaining the virus.
Five Hours: Fever, severe migraines, vomiting, and joint pain
Eight Hours: The area around the eyes would sink in as the skin around the eyes turn from a light to a dark purple, losing feeling in limbs.
Eleven Hours: The heart does not pump as often nor as hard, lower part of the body is numb.
Fourteen Hours: Motor skills diminish to the point where running is impossible and is reduced to staggering.
Sixteen Hours: The memory at last fades as it's compared to Alzheimer's and hallucinations appear.
Eighteen Hours: Coma
Twenty Hours: Heart stoppage and zero brain activity.

Twenty Three Hours to Twenty Four Hours: Reanimation.
A few days had past, mercy killing became less frequent due to two things; the need to preserve ammo and the number of sick carriers died down.
