Part III Section 17-Caught Up

OCTOBER 25TH, 2030, 5 Months Ahead. 6:17 P.M

Almon, Noah, Eric, and Jade Walked through the Long cave Area in search for Materials. As they walked they continued to see Markings throughout the Cave Area of Erebus Protocol.  Everyone continued to think of it as some sort of threat, 5 hours away from Blessedlands County they continued to walk and the air continued to get cooler as the night went on. As they walked through the cave There was an opening. Almon nodded his head towards it and lead the group through the hole. Jade parted ways to look at a few papers he seen on a table as everyone began searching the room area. Jade read the Papers realizing they were files from the CAF and the IMF from 2016. As he read he realized the IZC was the one writing to the CAF and IMF. "Guys, who's the IZC?" Jade questioned picking up the papers and bringing them over to Eric. Eric read the Files and his eyes widened to the Terror. He looked up "maybe the people in those pictures" Eric said trying to find the connection. He read the entire paper over "Dear The IMF and the CAF military and Army forces,

Today, 2016, December 5th, The IDC (Investigation disease control) has discovered a certain Complication within the research of NanoTech Vaccines. not all of them have this certain complication only one does. We don't exactly know what it is it's just different from the rest of the vaccine research we have done and I think maybe the CDC and the government may be ready to test some subjects in the coming years, we will continue to do more research on Cancer Vaccines as well to ensure safe Regulations, please get back to us immediately" one File read and below read *Sent back from CAF*. Another File Read. "Today as of 2022, after all the attacks we are now changing are names to the IZC (Investigation Zombie Corporation) we will begin investigating these slow brains creatures to figure out what caused this, I have a guess but it's best not to write it here, maybe we can go as far as to say it was our own fault" The letter/File was cut-off from there. "We need to hold onto everything we find maybe there's a way to fix this" Eric said pocketing the stuff. "There's more messages written on these walls but it's just one, Erebus Protocol, whatever the H*** that means" Almon said. "Listen I think we should head back maybe you should see your wife Courtney and your Child Grayson" Noah said to Almon as Almon nodded, everyone agreed and started walking back.

12:14 A.M, 2030, October 26th, Blessedlands County California. Just near the Border.

Rain downpoured, as Almon, Eric, Noah, and Jade got up to he hill leading towards the gate, as they rose above the hill they noticed the dead all around the gates making it impossible for them to get towards the front without killing them. "There's so many this doesn't look good, you think any got in?" Jade questioned. "No doesn't look like it maybe we can take them" Noah said running down the hill pulling his Pistol from his Holster. He began shooting them one by one causing the Horde to turn around immediately locking eyes with him. He continued to shoot the walkers as he backed up and fell down. They continued coming closer as a decently fast pace. More of them began getting shot as Eric, Almon, and Jade began shooting them as well. Jason from the top of the gate sleeping on his bed sheltered under an umbrella heard the shots. He peeked his head up grabbed the Sniper and looked over the gates edge seeing the hundreds of walkers he began sniping the ones Almon, Noah, Jade, And Eric weren't shooting. He loaded and shot, Loaded and Shot, fast and rapidly killing as many as he could. "MOVE OUT OF THERE" Jason yelled towards Noah as Noah stood up off the ground and backed up further continuing to shoot at them. Jade pulled his knife and began to stab as many in there heads as possible. "GO" Jade yelled as he created and opening for the group to run towards the gate. Jason quickly got down the ladder and opened the gate as fast as he could. Almon, Eric, and Noah ran into the gate as Jade continued Killing them. Eric shot a space for Jade to run as Almon and Noah shot to keep them from coming in. Jade ran inside the gate and Jason closed it. The Dead continued to try and break through the gate. "You guys go to sleep relax with your families leave me one of your pistols and I'll handle this tonight with the Sniper and Pistol" Jason said as Almon handed him his golden revolver. "Thank you" Almon said as Jason climbed the Gates and Almon, Jade, Noah, And Eric went back to there houses. The night went on slowly. The air grew colder. Jason continued to shoot the walkers from above as everyone began slowly going to sleep.

Ashley was making sandwiches as Josh walks over to her from behind and hugs her. "What ate you up to my Pregnant Lady" Josh said smirking. "Shut up" Ashley rolled her eyes and playfully pushed him laughing "your a dork" She said as she handed him one of the sandwiches. "This is too 12 Years" Ashley said smirking and eating the sandwich. "Thank you" Josh said as he ate the sandwich slowly. "I'm going to go for a walk, see whats around town" Josh said. "Okay no problem" Ashley Brooker answered kissing him. "I love you" Josh said "I love you too" Ashley answered and began cleaning up a little. Josh got his Jacket on and walked outside. The ground damp the smell of Burning rot stunk the air.  Josh walked around the town in the distance he seen people burning The deads bodies as the Black smoke rose. As he walked he noticed a Sign being placed by Courtney. "I see your moving about now fully recovered" Josh said laughing. "Yeah Almon asked me to place this sign down he's offering a new Guard/Protection job Around the town for anyone interested in making sure everyone stays safe" Courtney answered. "What's the pay, there's no currency" Josh asked. "Well right now more food extra services I am assuming maybe extra bar services and more direct food deliveries, maybe more privileges" Courtney answered. "Hmm sounds interesting" Josh said as he continued to walk. In the distance the bell was heard loud and clear. Everyone began walking up towards the bell Almon was clinging back and forth. The entire Town stood under Almon who was standing on a stage like area made of wood. "Today, there will be a meeting Support meeting mainly anyone can attend, we will talk about the new police job being posted and how safe everyone's feeling" Almon said. "When will this meeting be" Jade asked. "In about an hour" Almon answered. As he waved for everyone to be dismissed.

11:03 A.M, 2030, Blessedlands County California (Town Hall Meeting) October 26th

Most of the town was seated as they all discussed the future of the town. "So, I want to bring up that just a month ago, Me and Noah went looking for Food sources, and we came across 100,000 tokens, Me, Eric, Noah all decided we should Make this meeting to discuss using these tokens as a potential currency, it allows you to order more from the Bar, or the Restaurant, you can use these tokens to trade in for more food it's up to you, these are a symbol of excellence and dedication to this town, you can earn them from working, how does this all sound?" Almon asked as everyone talked amongst each other. Everyone agreed and the meeting went on formulating new ideas. Almon smiled as he felt good about the future of the people. Some people talked about the currency potentially being based off skills instead of the way the old world had it as everyone has there own skills, some discussed this being possible that you can earn these by selling goods, services and potential skills to others teaching people new things and helping everyone learn new things and develop."Residents should be able to use these tokens for goods services and to learn skills as well" Jason said. "Perfect, I'm thinking with this new guarding job we pay 20 of these tokens a day to anyone who works it" Noah said Firmly. Everyone all agreed and they all came up with a good well balanced system.

4:16 P.M, 2030, October 26th, Blessedlands County California

Eric walked up to Almon Smoking a Grape Vape, "Hey, going on a run, I need to just clear my head" Eric said as Almon knodded and Eric ran towards the gate and had Jason open it and then close it. Eric slowly ran down the road his legs strengthened as he was running he noticed a peice of newspaper ripped up but still had some wording on one page that read *Today it was informed that the CAF will be Releasing the Nanotech through the Air, the United States government has refused to allow this happening not trusting the idea and threatened to start a war over it, citizens have been running mad trying to figure out where to go before world War III starts, the world a scary place people* Eric looked up in shock realizing what he read meant there was no cure and never could be unless somehow someway someone didn't breathe it in wearing a mask or something the entire time it was in the air if it was the nanotech that caused it. Eric in shock began running back towards the town instead of continuing his walk.
