Human Kind After The Infection

Chapter 9: The Crew Is Formed Part 2

Days went by and our food supply was sowly diminishing while the amount of zombies outside my house were increasing. We knew it was only a matter of time before we would need to restock on our food supply. Right in the middle of thinking this..my phone started ringing and i jumped up like a cat being dipped in water. It is not like i am unsocial or anything..it is just that..i barely recieved phone calls anymore every since the...epidemic. Every time i tried to call someone my phone would say all lines are busy or it would just make a beeping sound..so when my phone started ringing...i got a little scared but i answered and it was my friend Jahson. He was telling me how he has been trying to call me for days to tell me that..he and his friends were living in Costco and that he wanted me to go and stuff..i explained how my friends and I were struggling for more food and asked if it was ok to bring them to live there too. He said,"ok but how long will it take for yall to get here?" i said,"I am not sure...maybe in a hour or 2. I am not sure when we will be able to talk again...so if we dont make it in 2 hours...it is safe to say..we did not go or...you know." he said,"I understand..." i then said," How will you know when to open the door for us?" i explained that we were using bikes and we had weapons. he said," just do a live beat against the glass window and i will know it is you." i said,"ight. i got you. See you in 2 hours....or not." he said,"ight." and then i hung up. I talked to the guys and asked if they wanted to go...E and Tree said no because there is a chance we could get killed heading over there and Adlay said yes because they have food over there. i then said,"If we dont go we die from hunger and if we do go..we either die from zombies...or live in a place with a large food supply...its yall choice." They thought about it and we all agreed. We are going to try to make it to Costco. We took alot of things into consideration while thinking of a plan but it ultimately came out to us riding our bike to get there and caring our weapons with us(which is a drag because the bookbags are sooooo heavy...who knew weapons could weight so much?). The only problem with that plan was that they were tons of zombies outside my house just walking around waiting to catch a meal from one of us but thankfully...they did not notice us....yet. We needed to make a distraction but what could we do. I noticed a car outside and i told everybody i had an idea and that they should get ready to go quick. When everyone got ready..i took a shotty and aimed it at the car from my window. everyone was yelling what the hell are you doing!!!? because we infered that the zombies reacted to sounds and could not see or feel anything..so if i were to shoot a gun...we would be in trouble. I said, trust me" and shot the shotty towards the car. At first most of the zombies started looking toward the windows but then the car alarm in the car went off and that got all there attention. They turned away from the window and started heading to the car and banging on it as if there was someone inside. We took the opportunity to ride our bikes out the front door. When we all were outside the door i took the keys and locked the door(here is where I f*cked up)...but while i was taking the keys out the lock...i accidentally dropped them and when I went to reach for it...i dropped my bike on the door in panic. When i looked back...a few zombies noticed...like 4 of them and they started walking toward us and i guess the other zombies followed there lead and started following us. We had no time to lock the door...so i said,"lets go!!!". We rode or bikes in panic...being chased by like 20 zombies. We thought Tree would slow us down but he was the one ahead of us(i noticed he was riding the bike far way from E). After 5 minutes.. Me and E started to feel the impact of riding or bikes with heavy guns on our back and we were slowing down considerably, while Adlay and Tree kept going faster. At this rate...it didn't look like we were going to make it. The zombies were literally breathing down our necks with there hot...stinking breath. I looked at E and thought to myself....is this the end?..........it can't be!! I made a pact!!...no we made a pact to survive!!! I started riding my bike faster...feeling the burn in my thighs and i turned my bag and took out a machine gun. I thought to myself...if I am going to die...i am not dying alone. I flipped my bag back on and started spraying at the zombies with one hand while the other hand was holding on to the bike. I saw one by one as each zombie slowly started falling to the floor...i could see the relief in E's face...but for each shot...i could feel the recoil slowly damaging my shoulder. I felt the pain but i didn't stop until they were far away....just looking at the zombies that use to be human..with blood oozing out there body but still trying to chase us made my stomach feel so sick. How could i have once thought this would be fun? I held on to the gun with one hand until we made our way to Costco. I lived pretty close to there. It is close to our school. When we got there...we saw a weak attempt for a defense...with a car parked in front of the glass door. There were zombies but they were all spaced out and away from the door..so we took the opportunity to quickly go to the glass door and do as we were instructed and do a live beat. Of course zombies noticed and started coming toward us. Someone quickly opened the door and said come in quickly. We threw our bikes and bags in without a hesitation and jumped on and they locked the door behind us. When we got in...there was 8 people inside not including us and the person who opened the door for us..and i could tell...this would be...our crew.
