Beginning Of The End

MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH (JOURNAL ENTRY 2)

We were stranded in the middle of nowhere. It had been 24 hours since the virus had spread. Stacy was full of sorrows. She was blaming herself for all that had happen to the humans and to us. The rest of the team was trying to calm her down.

Suddenly more news came in from UW, telling us about the situation. They said that the infection's affect was over and that 2/3rd of the population was affected. They described the infected as the people who were alive as well as dead at the same time. But the thing was that these infected fed on human flesh. And once a person was bitten or scratched by one these creatures, he also turned into one.

Stacy was a little relieved to hear this because this meant she hadn't destroyed all the human race. But this did not change the fact that we were in a, what we call it, a POST APOCALYPTIC world. We had no place to go. I had lost hope that we would get out of this mess ever, but the team was still optimistic about the situation.

I was amazed to see these young chaps so hopeful about this kinda situation. Even though I was sure they had seen many apocalyptic movies in which DEATH always finds the person left alone.

The team tried to motivate me to not give up. And somehow they managed to do so. In no time, I was up making a plan. First we checked how many medical packs and weapons were there with Dixon and Stacy. They said enough for a months use. This meant if we were to stay for more than a month on this freaking planet, we had to look for these goods. It was no good to stay in Nevada I told Frank to look for any open communication channels with his radio so as to look for people and see if there were any camps or places,where people were,to where they could go. Natasha and I decided to look for a before hitting the road, we would look out for petrol and hit some grocery stores in the city to gather food stuff for the journey might be long.

We started proceeding with the plan. Frank started looking for others. While he was doing so, we took some guns and decided to leave for the city

Just as we approached the city, the highway was full of vehicles. It was hard to take in our car to the city so we decided to leave it behind. But this had its benefit. We didn't have to look for petrol. So we decided to take out the petrol from the other vehicles.

Then we went into the city on foot. When we reached the city, we saw the infected for the first time on the streets. Ugh!! Looking at them certainly gave me the creeps. It was as if the dead had started to walk. They were drenched in blood They were making such moaning sounds which scared the crap out of me. Nathasha couldn't handle the situation either and threw up.

We thought that we should wait for sometime so that the streets clear out a bit. But we couldn't just wait for the whole day either so decided to just go in. The thing was we weren't familiar with the city as I was visiting it for the first time.

As we went on the streets we kept our heads down looking for grocery store as we didn't want any trouble.

After we found a store, we quickly sneaked in. But the guard was one of those. We quietly raided the store but on our way out, the infected stopped us. We shot him on his heart. But it did not work. Then we again shot him in the head. That did it!! We discovered that only headshots killed such creatures.

Well every action has its consequence doesn't it? When we exited the store, the street for full of the infected. And I was like how the hell did this happen? Natasha said must the god damn sound of the gun.

We ran towards out car. The thing was that these creatures couldn't run so we out ran them But we were so terrified that we ran till we were out of breath.

When we reached the car, we left as soon as we could for arena 51.

After we reached, we told the rest of the team what happened and were traumatized with the experience.

It was night fall when Frank found out some people just outside downtown Miami and told them we were coming. We left as soon as we could as I wasn't planning to find out what happens to this place at night.
