Time jump: 5 months later the whole group are in the mountains set up camp in the mountains of Virginia while mason is trapped at the army refugee camp they refuse to let him leave so he works up a plan to get out of there 5 months captive for what reason he doesn't know cause they won't tell him the plan is to break into the armory and steals atleast a bag of weapons but he needs a distraction he lies to one of the prisoners there and says "I hear that the lunch there feeding us horse meat so the guy gets mad because supposedly he is a vegetarian so he curses at the lunch lady that gives him a distraction so the guards will be busy on him he breaks into the armory steals half they're weapons goes out the back window but three guards are waiting for him he has no choice but to kill them with his bare hands. He hotwires the truck and drives off and breaks through the gate and zombies get in he drives through the city and breaks down its outta gas so he runs to find some when he stumbles upon a horde of zombies he runs as fast as he can runners are chasing him through an alleyway and he finds another horde and he gets under a tank traps himself but he kills as many as he can until he finds an opening through the tank and crawls through a dead army guy he wakes but he is turned so mason shoots him ringing in his ear someone speaking through the com system "he says hey dumbass cozy in there" mason says "hello! Who the hell is this!" The stranger goes " my names Noah what about you" he says my name is mason I don't know if you know but I'm a little concerned in here." Noah goes "Oh man you should see it from out here it's like a damn biter convenience around the tank from here mason ask " you got a plan for me to get me outta here" Noah says "yea I'd say make a run for it" mason: that's it make a run for it Noah: yea man atleast the biters are occupied on someone else poor bastard never stood a chance on a horde that size what kind of weapons do you got mason goes hold on he checks the bag he has 4 high powered rifles 6 shotguns 12 handguns 8 machine guns and automatics over 1500 rounds he says I have a bag full of guns but I dropped another bag on the street can I get to it. Noah: just forget the other bag whatever you have grab it and run for a gate 5 blocks from where you are. mason goes "hey why are you helping me" Noah says "look man you're running out of time" mason grabs his pistol and the bag throws it over his shoulder and a hatchet he found crawls out of the tank kills the first one he sees and runs for it as he is killing biters Noah watches him as he makes his way to the gate in an alley Noah says "hey over here come on faster!!! Now come on" as mason shoots he runs outta ammo Noah: what are you doing come on!!! As he is climbing up the ladder mason is right behind him they both make it to the roof mason goes thanks for saving me Noah goes "your welcome so what are you the army" no just a man trying to get back to his family is all heard they would have come to the city but that didn't work out did it." As they both glance over the city full of dead ones Noah goes "whatever yee-haw you're still a dumbass here binoculars get more eyesight of the view over the city make sure you know where you're going" mason goes "thank you again" he follows Noah into a window he talks to someone on a walkie-talkie and says we have a visitor folks we have four biters in the alley they make it the back way four biters stumble upon them. Two people come out of a doorway hitting one of them with a bat mason and Noah run into the room the two other fellas follow them in there they reveal themselves to be Richard and mike and other survivors in the room with them Noah is here with Anna,Richard,mike,Jax,francis Anna says "why the hell were you just popping off a gun in the middle of the city with horde in the mixed" mason: "I got surrounded had no choice either that or die I'm sorry but I'm looking for my family hoping I would find em here but you saw how that turned out" they all hear a gunshot Anna:oh my god is that francis again with that damn rifle.
