In The End (Book 1)

Continued 3

I looked around at the several bodies that laid around me. Where did I even start looking? I shrugged it off then walked to the furthest corpse away from the backpack, the one with the caved in stomach. I bent over and reached into the pants pockets only to come up short.
I then walked over to the next dead infected, again nothing. I sighed then walked over to a large amount of bodies that laid in a small pile. I bent over and checked the first ones body, nothing, I grabbed hold of the feet and pulled it off the pile.
Under the pile I saw a hand sticking out, I wondered if that was the first one I killed, well I'd find out soon enough.
I searched the next body on the pile only to find a really low quality kitchen knife covered in blood. I sighed in dissatisfaction. Then I felt a strong grip grab ahold of my leg. I gasped as I pulled away and looked down to see the a biter grabbing ahold of my leg. I yanked myself away from it but it just wouldn't let go, so I ended up dragging the thing out, no feet. I felt like an idiot for forgetting to off this one.
It grabbed onto my leg with both arms and pulled itself closer to me, I bent down and stabbed the kitchen knife into its temple blade deep then I let go of the knife, I felt it's grip loosen up. I stood up and shook the hands off my leg. I went back over to the corpse I just checked before I dragged it off the pile.
Lizzy suddenly walked over and started counting. I searched through the rest of the pile only finding a hunting knife with a brown handle. I pulled out the very full blade as Lizzy walked over.

"Thirty two biters" she said"find anything else?" She asked.

"Nothing worth taking"I replied sheathing the knife and handing it to her.

She walked off as I searched another corpse that turned up empty. Then besides me underneath a decapitated biter I spotted an old backpack. I crawled over to the body while on my knees. I checked his pockets and found an empty brown gun holster.

"I think I may have something" I said as I lifted up the body into sitting position.

"What, something good?" She asked and walked over"ohhh, there has to be something in there.

"I found a gun holster, we don't have a gun but I'd like to keep it" I replied as I unbuckled the belt off the corpse.

"We should probably give it to Steven or something" she replied"they need it more than we do" she said.

I sighed"I know that they do...Take it" I said handing her the belt.

She took it but set it besides her"well what are you waiting for? Open the backpack!" She said impatiently.

I took the backpack off of the body then shoved the body aside. I unzipped the smallest section of the backpack at the front and found a revolver. The chamber was empty though. I looked back into the pocket and reached further into it, I felt a small box. I pulled out the box, it was an ammo box. I set the gun on the ground besides me and slid open the box. I stared at the large pile of golden colored bullets that slightly shone due to the sunlight. I counted sixteen in total.

"Sixteen rounds" I said pulling out 6 of them to load the gun.

"Check the other pockets"Lizzy said impatiently starting to shake a bit.

"I will, just hold on" I said as I loaded up the third, forth, fifth, and sixth bullet then shut the chamber.

I put away the bullets and zipped up the backpack then put the revolver in my pocket. I then unzipped the main section. Inside the backpack was two full bottles of water and three cans of beans.

"Food and water, guns... Thirty two biters. Not bad if you ask me" I said as I walked over and picked up the machete sheath then sheathed it then I threw it into the backpack as I zipped it up and threw it onto my back."let's start heading back" I said and stood up.
