Chapter 2: No More Humvee

We drove off into the mountains as I watched the giant horde of furries behind us run for our humvee. I parked the humvee up on a mountain with a beautiful view of the streets of Bozeman down below. But, maybe not so beautiful considering it's the apocalypse. I then saw a black limo and multiple unmarked tahoes with their flashing blue lights on, directing the black limo somewhere. "You guys see that?" I asked as I sat at the edge of the mountain. "Yeah...is that..." James said before I cut him off. "POTUS. President of the United States. Why the hell does he have to be here, right now?" I said. "I don't know." Oliver replied. I then watched as a horde approached the vehicle, even jumping on top of the limo. I then heard gunshots. "FUCK! POTUS is getting turned." I exclaimed as I watched the horde overtake the limo and undercover cars. There was about 20 I could count, and the undercover tahoes sped off. "The president's guards don't even want to deal with that shit. Too bad for him." I said as I watched the furries tear the doors off and infect the president. "Yeah..." Anthony replied. I then heard wolves howling a few hundred feet behind us. "Maybe staying on a mountain isn't the best idea cause of animals." I said. "Yeah..." James replied. I then watched as a pack of wolves approached us. "We're so lucky those are just normal wolves." Oliver said. "But not so lucky considering they're drooling right now. They must be hungry." I replied. "Yeah..." James said. The wolves were now ten feet away from us. "Right, I think I have a...HERE!" I exclaimed as I pulled out a ziploc bag from my backpack with raw steak in it. "Why the hell do you have a- you know what, I'm not even going to question it." Anthony said. I then threw the steak at the wolves, watching them devour it. They drooled some more, growling. "COME ON! YOU DON'T NEED MORE!" I yelled.

"Liam, I think you just attracted unwanted attention." Anthony said as I watched a horde of furries run up the mountain. "Yeah, I kinda picked that up!" I exclaimed, starting the humvee. My squad then jumped in, and Anthony closed the turret hatch. "JUST RUN THEM OVER!" Anthony yelled. I put the humvee in reverse, running over a few furries and knocking them off of the mountain to their death. The humvee then got stuck on the ledge of the mountain as the furries pushed the humvee. "SHIT! WE'RE GOING TO FALL!" I yelled. "JUMP OUT!" Anthony yelled. We then opened the doors of the humvee, sliding down the mountain. "WOOHOO!" I yelled. For some reason, this kinda reminded me about that one song called slider from super mario 64. I then lost balance, rolling down the hill as I tumbled down the hill. All of a sudden, I hit something hard.p, and fell unconscious. Those furries were going to push the humvee off, squishing us, or worse, running down the mountain to eat us. Sliding down a mountain and falling unconscious was better than getting infected.

I then woke up to Anthony shaking me rough, and James and Oliver peeking over at me. "Fuck...my back..." I said weakly as I stood up. Most of the food in my backpack was now squished. At least I didn't break my back. I then looked up at the mountain, to see the humvee falling right down for us. I then ran onto the streets, along with my squad as I watched the humvee come tumbling down. "Well now we're walking on foot, and running away from a horde. Just great." I said as I kept running with my squad. I looked back, and to my surprise, the horde wasn't chasing us. "I think we can stop to regain our breath now." I said, leaning over to catch my breath.

"That fucking horde never stops, does it?" Anthony said. We then walked forward to find a gas station. Perfect for some food. I then walked in with my squad, to notice that there was a furry in the gas station. Seemed to be male. O snuck up behind them, hoping to get them with my machete. I then grabbed my machete, going to slice it's head off, but I missed. The furry then turned around, screeching at me, trying to bite me. It had be pinned to the ground, so I couldn't do anything to fight back. The furry then tried to bite my shoulder, only to realize it had just been shot with a glock from Anthony. "Oh shit." Anthony said as he lowered his glock. The furry then lept at him, so I got up, grabbing my SPAS and shooting it in the head, causing the furry to die instantly, with blood splitting everywhere. "Jesus Christ, you three don't even care for us getting turned, or dying. Should've got him in the head Anthony." I said. "Okay, well now we have to worry if you two have gotten bit or not." James said. "I don't think so." I said as I watched James examine my body and Anthony's. "Nope. All good." James said. "Told you." I replied. "You can never be too sure." James replied.

I then felt something crawl up my left arm, right where I got clawed at. I dismissed it as a bug, then slapped my left arm. I then looked around the shelves to realize almost everything was in stock. I then grabbed a protein bar, opening and eating it. It tasted weird, but I'd do anything to fill me up. I then grabbed an apple and started to eat it. I watched my squad look for some food too. A few minutes later, I finished eating my apple, and saw the sun starting to rise. "That's nice." I said as I walked outside, staring at the sunrise. I then saw a furry walking down the streets. It noticed me and immediately ran inside of a building. Was this thing baiting me? I then decided whether or not I should enter the building, and I did. I made a bad mistake not going in with my squad. I walked in, HK drawn, off safe mode and ready to shoot. I then watched as a female furry ran towards me fron upstairs in the building. It leaped down the stairs, then hitting a wall and shaking it off. The furry then lept towards me again, hitting a wall. The furry then jumped on top of me, causing me to drop my HK, so I pulled put my glock, shooting the furry in between it's eyes as it almost bit me. The furry collapsed to the floor as I watched a pool of blood form around the dead furry on the floor. "Don't try stunts like that again ya freak." I said to the dead furry on the ground.

I then walked back towards the gas station. "You shouldn't have gone alone ya know." Anthony said while leaning on the gas station wall outside. "Yeah, I know." I replied. "Whatever you say Corporal." Anthony said. I then looked back at the mountain to notice the horde running towards me. "You know, we should probably get moving, RIGHT NOW." I said. Anthony then walked up to me, watching the horde get closer. He then tapped my shoulder. "Alright. COME ON!" Anthony yelled at James and Oliver. They then walked out of the gas station. "What- why-" Oliver was interrupted at the sight of 30 furries heading towards us rapidly. We all then pulled our rifles off of our vests, turning safe mode off, and shooting the furries. "WE NEED TO MOVE BACK NOW!" I yelled as we wlaked back into the street. My accuracy was worse than normal as we were walking backwards and shooting. I then reloaded as I watched about ten furries go down. "KEEP FIRING!" I yelled. We kept shooting, and eventually there were only five furries left, but they were now very close to us. I turned safe mode off on my HK, then grabbing my machete and cutting a furry's head off as it lept towards me. I then stabbed the furry in the heart, then taking the machete out of it's body as I watched the blood seep out of it's head.

I then ran towards another furry, stabbing it in the chest, but it grabbed me by the neck, then slammed me into the ground. It pulled the machete out of it's chest, about to stab it into me, when Anthony shot multiple rounds at it, causing the furry to fall over in pain. I then stabbed the machete into the furry's eye, pulling it out. Gross. I then watched as the furry screamed, realizing it's eye was gone, then dying after Anthony shot it a few more times. "That was too easy." Anthony said. "Yeah. For four people and 30 furries, that was way too easy. They even have more strength than us, and managed to die. How pathetic." I said. I then looked at the furry blood all over my machete. "Ugh. I need this cleaned up." I said, staring at my machete. Anthony then looked over at me. "Hell yeah." Anthony said. I then grabbed a cloth out of my backpack, cleaning the furry blood off of my machete, and throwing the cloth over the furry's head I killed a minute ago. "Sweet dreams." I said sarcastically. James then snickered at what I said. "Okay, we need to find another vehicle since our humvee is all destroyed." I said. "Yeah..." Oliver said.
