Was Once Wonderful

Chapter 3

The days had been quick and thankfully, the place we stayed in for a week held up and kept us safe for the time being. Yes, It had been a week and we didn't even reach the inner city yet. On that week, I discovered that Addy (I gave her a nickname because her first name is still long) can use knives and daggers well. So I gave her my set that I got from the closet. I did personal trainings with the sword i have and sharpening it in the process. Chewie had grown a bit in that week and now can fight just fine. Not able to decapitate body parts but can slow down enemies by biting on their ankles and pouncing on their backs. 

We were on the way to the next town, Augerville, My hometown. We took a vacation in our house in the woods, 45 miles away from the outskirts of Terra (The country we are in right now). I felt a wave of nostalgia when we reached the small village. But it wasn't the same. The buildings were broken down and are in flames. The Zombies are walking around stupidly, some of their body parts dropping to the ground, Making the maggots inside wiggle their ways out and that never ceases to disgust the hell out of me. I bet Addy had seen that too. I heard her gag and groan.

"Now movies gave us false expectations of zombies. I thought they were just gray and bloody but seeing their faces get eaten by maggots-- eugh!-- now this is something i wouldn't want to see everyday. It's disgusting!"

I Sighed. "Well, their flesh does rot and rotten flesh means maggots and maggots means disgusting motherfuckers." I looked at the front hood of the car seeing a few of those white disgusting pieces of wriggly shit crawl around and fly away because of the wind due to the speed we're going. (It's because of the zombie bumping we've been doing. Their heads hit the hood and the maggots splatter out. yes, it's disgusting. I'm going to need a carwash after this.)

"Ugh, this is disgusting that eating shit." Addy groaned again behind me as she watched a zombie head get eaten by probably a million maggots. I shivered in disgust. "True that. I'd rather touch a cockroach than this."

Addy giggled. "Any insect is gross."

I gasped in shock. "Even butterflies?"

"Butterflies can drink your blood if given the chance."

Wait what? I abruptly stopped the car and stared at her incredulously. Addy just looked back at me and shrugged, turning her attention back to the window. I let out a loud sigh. "Butterflies are a no no now." I said quietly. Now that explains Shinobu from demon slayer. That's why she's so deadly and fast. Butterflies can drink blood. Like a mosquito or vampire. Now i call them pretty mosquito. I let out a sigh again and whispered: "I can't believe this."

I heard her laugh and mutter an 'it's okay' before i continued to drive and run over more zombies on the road, meaning more maggots for the truck. "Addy, if we ever run by a river, please remind me to clean the truck."

"Okay."

I turned the radio on and started playing music. Weird. are the radio stations still operating? Maybe they are. To bring news and entertainment despite all of this dream-like chaos happening all around the globe. Yesterday, The news said that every continent (Except Polterrain) is now filled with these undead creatures. The military is doing their best and trying to find a way on how to eliminate these quickly. The experts remaining are also working on the cure as fast as they could but they're not even near to one percent. It also stated that the government locked the central city down, not letting anyone get in or out. They would if they can guarantee that the person is not infected of turned into one so that's no problem for me and Addy.
