(just so you know this is the last chapter titled "the world we live in". at least for now. oh and also. comment if you think i should shift P.O.V's every now and then. i'm fine with sticking to jerry but i can switch... who am i kidding nobody reads this thing anyway)
Jerry P.O.V
(a few weeks later)
me and shelby watched the street while Cocheta and Diane looted a gun store. we weren't expecting to find much seeing as the place was picked over quite a few times. still we needed ammo badly so it was worth a shot.
we had meet Shelby about a week ago. she had long brown hair with red highlights. today she was wearing a light green shirt and she had her weapon (a machete) strapped to her back next to a hunting rifle.
"hurry up in there" i shouted at the store "we need to get moving"
i pulled my melee (a hatchet or tomahawk) off my belt. i fiddled with it nervously while i waited.
shelby noticed "we are far ahead of the hoard jerry. we'll be fine" she said. a few days ago there had been a hoard of infected roaming around a nearby towwn. we had managed to blearily escape and we had been running ever since then.
"i know i know but i still don't want to stay her e for to long" i said.
Cocheta and Diane walked out of the bulding with nearly empty backpacks.
"we couldn't find much... just a crossbow and a three bolts" said Diane she took the weapon off her shoulder.
"jerry should have it he dosen't have any firearms or anything like that" said Shelby.
the other two nodded and held out the crossbow
i took it "thanks. luckily i know how to use this fairly well"
the four of us started walking north. a few snowflakes falling every now and then. i put the new weapon on my back. scanning around for threats
"we need a vehicle. and we need to head North westish" said DIane.
i looked around. most of the cars in the area where burnt or broken so they wouldn't work. out of the corner of my eye i saw something on a roof. i stopped and turned my suspicions confirmed.
"hey guys" i said. they all stopped and looked at me "there's a helicopter on that roof"
they all looked at where i was looking before we all started to sprint to the building. i reached it first.
i noticed the fire escape was up. finding the right foot holds i climbed over to it and lowered it.
once we all got to the roof we started to inspect the bird. it seemed to be in good condition
"this is a militarily bird" i said from inside. i climbed into the cockpit and looked at all the gauges
Shelby climbed next to me. locating the fuel gauge i checked it
"hey theres about half a tank in here and i know how to fly this thing" She said loudly. "i can fly us out of here IF this thing works"
Cocheta and Diane climbed inside "sounds like a plan" said Diane Cocheta nodded.
Shelby sat in the pilots seat. i sat in the one across from her "i'll Copilot. i know a little about it"
she nodded and pressed a few switches. with a cough and a sputter the chopper started. a mild cheer come from the back. the blades began to pick up speed. i knew we where making a hell of a racket but we where on a roof. nothing short of mutant was getting up here.
soon we began to take off. our wheels lifted off the ground and soon we where moving.
"well. this bring back memory's of the last time i was in a chopper like this one" said Cocheta his voice blearily audible over the sounds of the birds blades
"oh yeah what happened the last time you where in one of these" asked shelby not taking her eyes away from the windshield and controls.
"well we where outrunning a nuke for one. and two we just found out that the militarily had pretty much fallen"
i looked back "Evans city right?"
Cocheta nodded.
i looked back. keeping an eye on all of the dials and such.
(4 hours later)
"by rough estimate we have traveled about 150 or so nautical miles. but its getting late. we need to set down on a roof and rest" said shelby. she looked tied.
i looked at the ground through the windshield. spotting a suitable landing point "there" i said as i pointed.
we brought the chopper down slowly. the moment we landed we cut the engine. we had made a good bit of noise coming down so we didn't need extra.
"get some rest you three i'll take first watch" said Diane. we nodded sleepily. i walked over to the comfyest looking bench/seat and lied down.
soon a fell asleep.
