"Is this entire state uphill?" Murphy groaned, "Where are we anyway?" He questioned as the group walked up in the boggiest part of the forest, "According to this map, we're in the black hills of South Dakota." Warren said as Delilah trailed behind the group picking up overgrown flowers as she picked the pettles off, finding something to do in the middle of all her boredom.
"I miss the truck." Cassandra sighed rubbing her arm against her head, Delilah nodded "I agree." She mumbled through her barely opened lips, Warren looked back at the group, "At Least we are out of that horde." Warren said as she walked ahead staring down at the map they had found along the way.
"There's nothing to kill out here." 10k Groaned as Delilah shook her head looking at the boy, she rolled her eyes, "That's fine by me, means nothing is tryna kill us either." Delilah said from the back of the group, the five walked as Warren agreed to giving the group a five minute break, Delilah's head turned to see what Cassandra was complaining about as the heads of mount Rushmore had been defaced.
"Now who in the hell did that?" Warren said as annoyence flushed her voice, the woman put a hand above her eyes to see through the sunshine, Delilah nudged 10k as the boy looked down at her "I think it's sick." She smiled as the boy nodded looking at it too.
"This is why we can't have nice things." Murphy sighed as he rubbed his head, "Probably the same jackass that tagged the liberty bell." Doc said as the grin on the two youngest of the group's faces grew "I think it's awesome." 10k said as Doc dropped his arm, Delilah's smile dropped when she saw the three adults glaring at the two.
"If I ever catch who did that, they're gonna get a whoopin'." Warren hummed as she turned to face the other way, looking down at her map, "Come on. Let's find that town. It's gonna get dark soon." She spoke as she gripped on the bag straps, Delilah pulled on 10k's arm gently as they walked with Doc behind the woman who seemed herself again, finally.

The group walked cautiously around two massive wherehouse containers "You know what, this might actually be a safe place for us to get some rest, and load up on some supplies." Warren spoke as she held her gun out Infront of her, the group making sure to watch their every move as they walked around the seemingly empty place.
"I could use an hour's sleep" Delilah spoke as her pale worn out face pushed itself to stay awake. "Why do they still lock doors?" Doc grunted as he tried opening up one of the container doors, "luckily I have a skeleton key" he smiled to himself as Delilah gripped her crossbow, Once Doc had opened the door the place was dark, Warren walking in first with her gun in hand before the rest of the group followed.
"Well bring doctor darkside, we are not gonna find much food or ammo here. " Doc said as the man held his weapon and peered around the corner, "Yeah if we wanted industrial pipes, this would be the place to come." Delilah mumbled as she looked around using Cassandra's flashlight as a helping hand to see where she was going.
Delilah wondered slightly as she peered around another corner her mouth shutting closed as a glowing z walked a few feet away "Guys shut it." She said as Warren walked over seeing the walker that had a green tint.
"Take cover. Come on." Warren whispered as the zombie snarled to itself, "Everybody sit quietly." Warren whispered once again as the group stood behind a wall, holding their guns, daggers, bats and bows, the six where quiet just like they were told until Murphy broke the silence, the water he had drunk a few minutes prior hadn't settled well on his stomach as he let out a small fart, Delilah's nose scrunched as she hit the man on the back of the head.
"Sorry! It got away from me!" He whispered as everyone pulled their shirts up over their noses glaring at the man, barely realising that the glowing walker had made its way closer to them.
"If I die because you farted, I am taking you with me." Delilah whisper yelled at the man as Doc nodded in agreement, Murphy glared at the girl as she gave him a petty sarcastic smile making him turn around as he grumbled to himself the group quietened down quickly as they listened to the footsteps that were coming closer from beside them, Doc reacted quickly as he stuck his crowbar through the z's head as it popped around the corner.
"What in the livin' hell?" The man gasped as the group looked at the glowing zombie that layed dead on the floor. "it's like a zombie ghost." Cassandra said as Delilah knelt down to look at it, "Why's it glowing?" 10k asked whilst he moved it's head with the barrel of his sniper, yet the group were cut off as more snarling came from where the other z had been, "He's got friends."
The group all looked at the door they had come through as two people in hazmat suits barged in through the door, Delilah frowned as she watched them, the girl grabbed her arrow as she went to scrape some of the glow off onto tip of her arrow, "No! Don't touch them!" The man said as he looked at the young girl moving her arm, stopping instantly the girl looked up at him, "Are they contagious?" Doc asked as the group got an answer they weren't expecting at all.
"Radioactive." The man spoke as Warren let out a small breathe, "Radioactive? How is that possible?" She asked as the man lifted his viser looking at the group, "I'll show you." He responded as the group followed the man outside of the container, they walked out, following the father and daughter duo to the leaking power facilities that was showering the town with radioactive waste, "This is going to be one of them days, ain't it?" Doc mumbled as Delilah shut her mouth and sighed nodding as she leant against the man.
