Chapter 7 Routine
-Cains Diary
-4 weeks in the apocalypse.
Found this empty notebook in the bag of a zombie so I decided to use it as a diary of sorts.
It has been 2 weeks since we came to Atlanta, honestly except for the occasional riots, this place has been peaceful. Of course except the jobs but I'll get into that later.
Rick introduced me to his family, Lori, Carl, and his best friend Shane Walsh. Loris OK we barely talk since we rarely meet but Shane has become sorta my best friend, he's honestly a chill guy for all his loudness. Then there's Carl, Honestly I pity the boy, having to grow up in an apocalypse wouldn't be good for anyone, nevermind a child, so I've been making an effort to talk to him, He calls me uncle Cain, which is cute, but I hope this will be over soon.
Now about the riots some idiots have been parading the streets ordering the military to stop killing zombies, but really? How stupid can someone be, I saw some of the protesters attack the people who killed their bit family, everytime it happened Shane or I would distract Carl, yesterday one of the idiots ran at a military man pointing a gun at them, long story he got shot, unfortunately he might not make it, but hey that's the price of stupidity, just hope he doesn't turn when he dies.
And about the jobs? They were clearing jobs basically, Atlanta is a huge city so it was inevitable some buildings were infected before the wall was made, the area of the wall increased everyday because me and a couple other men would usually go to buildings and clear them, it was risky, but having them covering themselves in zombie guts reduced the risk, of course some refused, and of course they were the first to die. There are still the other jobs, like helping with the farms, cooking etc. Rick, and Shane however get the job of policemen, not even taking weekends off.
But its been peaceful, honestly when we came here I thought this place would fall quickly, hell I'm surprised its still standing. But they say to not look a gift horse in the mouth, and boy I won't.
But there are somethings that are bothering me though, firstly would be my 'Amnesia' apparently when I woke up in the hospital it seems like I forgot a major chunk of my memories which is honestly … I don't know how to feel to be honest.
And then this floating window, my system apparently I got – no more like found it just yesterday because of a +0.1 in Dex when I was helping pick zombies off on the wall, not really anything I know how to deal with, and honestly I would think I have schizophrenia … do I have schizophrenia? Lets just not think about it. but it kinda seems like a system from those webnovels maybe slower though? haven't measured the time it takes to raise a stat since i just found out about this thing to be honest.
Anyways this is how life has been in Atlanta, wonder when Morgans coming though, he stopped answering his walkie since last week.
