Day 3

Help, for as the search for more people is getting hard. There are already so many of these mobs. Puffy and I only have each other, and the guns we've packed. I am so helpless, and we're trying to figure out a solution about these mobs..

Puffy and I were headed toward the end of the town.

"Shit.." Puffy said.

"What? What happened?" I asked, concerned.

Puffy sighed and gently pressed the pedal, the car slowing down. "We're about to run out of gas."

I finally heard the quiet beeping of the gas meter.

"I could make a quick run for gas." I said.

"There's a path that leads to a small city, you could take a run down that path." Puffy said, stopping the car.

"Do you live here?" I said, curious about why Puffy knew so much about this continent.

"I used to live on the border of that city. That was until this infection happened." Puffy said.

She powered off the engine.

She exited the car and went into the back seat.

"Take this." Puffy handed me one of the gun bags.
"Oh-" I took it and swung it over my back.

"I'll keep a lookout while you take a run." Puffy opened the trunk.

"Look, a gasoline tank. Use this." Puffy pulled out a red gasoline tank and handed it to me.

"I'll try to be fast." I said.

"Here, just in case, too." Puffy said.

She handed me a fully loaded glock.

I turned around.

"If I don't make it by the time it starts to get dark, you just leave this area." I said. "Because I may be dead."

"I.. understand that." Puffy said.

I started jogging off, following the cement path that soon turned to a dirt path.

I have at least 3 hours.. I thought.

Then there was the border of the city, and I got careful.

There were a few snarls. They weren't close, because they were probably in broken cars or just away from me.

I went from a jog to a walk.

My leg hurts. Maybe I could have asked Puffy to come with me and assist me.

But I didn't.

So if I die, I'm sorry Puffy. I tried to help us.

I had finally entered the city, looking around.

As usual, the place looked abandoned and dirty. Even moss started to grow. I saw a few broken glasses windows in the buildings.
