A life not worth living

the way of life

I have done a lot since then, made a lot of makeshift shit, the zombies have gone stale, and everywhere else in the world is basically uninhabitable, but survivors are still more common than you think.

I wake up looking around the shabby abandoned house as I grab my pistol from under my pillow I grab my keys from the nightstand and check my bag finding the first aid kit I took from a hospital, my Ammo reserve, I've done a lot of looting, I check the chamber and mag on my 2011, I 'v have had this pistol since day one.My buddy had it made for me and was holding on to it for me sadly... I can't save everyone..., I make sure my Sillencer is secure as I slide my O.T.F. Switchblade into my pocket. I pick open the quick open can, opening it. I eat the can of beans and take a sip of filtered water as my rations for the next few days I put the food and water back in my bag stowing everything away including some old gun parts I found, I stand up fastening my triple barrel shotgun to the bottom of my bag slinging it over my shoulder I tuck my bullet lighter into my pocket as I grab my fuel can heading outside with my keys I look over seeing a few zombies pushing there way down the street it's not worth the ammo, I crouch behind my bike as they hobble to where ever. I stowe my fuel can away getting on my bike driveing off, I can hear shooting in the distance, I'm driving through the old broken city and empty streets as I find a store I drive my bike through the broken automatic doors and empty isle as I eventually get to the sporting and outdoors section I hop off my bike and look around as I notice there are holes in the ceiling and beams going across with dark spots and I should be careful as I continue walking hoping they have something worth my time out of the cornor of my eye I notice a sight above me glowing in the dark as I quickly duck behind an aisle an arrow fly's past me logging itself in a nearby wall "we don't have to do this" I shouted up at the stranger in the darkness as another arrow got lodged near my cover "it's me or you the stranger exclamed loudly " look like I'm doing this" I thought as I quickly run off taking turns, just then a arrow lands in front of me I turn around and continue running into another isle, another arrow landed next to me as I come to a slippery stop I trip and land on the floor, the mysteries man pulls back his bow as I grab a the nearest thing off the nearby shelf and pulled it in front of me as the arrow priced it and stopped right In front of my face I put It down getting up and takeing off, I dived behind a shelf as another arrow flew past I looked around, i saw a firearm's sign above me as i look around and I noticed a box of 12 gauge buck shot, I pull out my otf as the man can be seen in the reflection of the blade he notices this and shoots the knife out of my hand as he goes to grab another arrow, I quickly grab my shotgun shooting the man from the beam he was a top leting off two shot as the mans body fell from the darkness, The bow, quiver and arrows droped with him, I grabbed my knife and the box of slugs reloading my shotgun and stowing it away in my bag as I walked over to his body, he was a sharp mind wrong choices led him to his grave, I picked up his bow takeing it and putting it on my bag I grabbed the quiver and shalvaged what arrows I could. I got back on my bike as I left as I continued traveling I came to a small stop seeing a group of body's one was clutching a glock 19 in its hand I looked around as I parked my bike I walked a bit closer it looked fresh, just then I heard a bolt cock as I immediately jumped behind cover as bullet flew past me "you scumbag your with them" I heard amongst the spray of bullets they stopped "I don't know who he was I just want his Glock" I shouted as I peaked out a another bullet flew hitting the concreate barrier I was behind "too bad its our kill", this time it was a female voice, I could here foot steps getting closer as they did I grab a broken glass bottle off the floor as the female turns the corner I grab the barrel of her rifle facing it away from me as she fires, unloading in to the ground as she did I stabbed her in the foot, she kicked me back she went to shoot me but her gun went click click click I quickly pulled my shot gun out aiming it her before she could reload as she looked up at me she dropped the rifle as it hung around her neck I grab it and pull her in by the sling into my cover " is there a another one of you?" I asked still aiming at her she nodded hesitatly, I sighed and grab her as a human shield as I walked out with her Infront of me I saw him in a near by building as soon as my gun when to face toward him in the slightest the man fired at us "wai-" she was knocked down with a hit to the shoulder and abdomin, k tuck back in my cover as she cuffs her bleeding I pull her into my cover by her rifle I unsling the rifle from her torso I Pat her down grabbing another mag and reloading  as the foot steps got close I noticed the glass bottle on the ground seeing in the reflection the man getting closer I silently tucked around the concrete barrier to the side as the man peaked around the barrier to only find her clutching her bleeding wounds he takes a look around then he crouches next to her as I can hear him utter "im sorry" as I aim I fire three shots into his chest and one in his shoulder he falls next to her as I move closer still aiming at him on the ground clutching his chest as he bled he went to garb his AR as I shot him in the hand then the head she looked up at me in fear clutching he bleeding hip I kick his rifle away as I grab the glock from the body as I walk back over she looks up at me still groaning in pain I look down at her as I drop a bandage and gauze a few feet away aiming at her as I walk backwards toward my bike she looks at me from the ground as she doesn't seem to move until I get to my bike I quickly got on slinging the rifle over my bag as I drive off I stay on the road for a bit as I hear screaming as I find the source of the screaming was coming from a woman, a man, and another woman, They were getting chased As I brought the bike to a stop

"Please help us please,"

I pulled out my switchblade and walkover stabbing the first one in the head and as I did one of the zombies got close to the three, I shot it in the head as the last zombie tried to grab me, I put my arm up to stop it, it tries to bite me as my chain mail reinforced jacket stops the bite I stab it with my knife "Cough it up, you made me waste a bullet," I say putting my hand out "We don't have anything." The smaller female states."So what y'all just survived by having enough common sense not to go out in a zombie apocalypse?" I reply looking at them The man limps up to me as he whispers in my ear  "I have been bitten. Please do what you have to keep my sisters safe and please put a bullet in my head." he utters as he slips I catch him laying him up against a nearby wall I take a knee as he looks up at my he's sweaty and going to be infected soon "thank you take care of them p-please" he coughs up blood as I take three steps away from him aiming my gun as the females cover there eyes as his dying wish I pull the trigger as I moment of silence rings out over the city, I sigh"Any skills or basic knowledge of weaponry I should know about"The girl holds the other one, still processing what happened
"Never mind forget I said anything Just come on looks like I'll have to end this one early If we walk in a straight line I might be able to make it back before nightfall but on the other hand I could go for some gas the girls follow as I walk my bike down the road seeing a gas station ahead.
