Zombie World (11 page)

I went to the office that Paul and I used, I had a six pack of beer hide there. I
grabbed it and headed back the to the room that Paul and Tc were. I thought that a
couple of beers would steady there nerves a little. I handed them both a beer, Paul
asked where in the hell did you get these? I thought that we had no more.
Told him that I hide this six pack just for a day like this.
The president came in, he seen us all with a beer in are hands. He looks at me and
says, where is mine. I would like to drink one with you all.
The Col. came in a few minutes later, and the first thing out of his mouth was give me
a beer also. I would love to drink a beer with the men that made this day possible. The
Col. opens his beer and said I would like to make a toast to the men that saved and
kept all these people safe.

This day was the most important day for a lot of people for in your little town.
Everyone was trying to make this day the best day for the four people that were getting
married. The sun was shining it was going to be a beautiful and peaceful day we
hoped. Linda and Sam were in the kitchen making a wedding cake. Other people were
making food for the wedding, there were people outside setting up chairs and a walk
way for the brides to walk down. A couple people even made an arch for them to get
married under. Everyone in this place that work together every day came together to
make this day a good and a happy one. It was something that wasn’t about survival it
was a day to for everyone to come together as a large family.

It was getting closer to the time for them to get married. They have the dining room
all set for after the wedding. The food is just about done, Linda and Sam got the
wedding cake done and it was a big one. The spot that they put all the chairs and arch
was done and painted. The only thing left is for them to walk down the aisle.

The time has come for them to tie the knot. Mia found someone to play the wedding
march on the Oregon. Mia had her to start playing, Paul and Tc were with the
president waiting for me to walk the girl to them. We started to walk I had Sabrina on
my left and Pam on my right. We had a little girl walking in front of us. She was the
flower girl. We had a she little brother carry a little pillow with the rings on it. He was
walking just ahead his little sister, we walked slowly I was talking to the girls as we
walked. I was telling them that they have two great men down there waiting for them.
Pam said that she was nerves this is her first time ever be married. She said that the
longest time she was ever with someone was 4 months, and he left me for someone
else.
I told her that he wasn’t worth your time, if he couldn’t see what he had then he was a
moron.

I got the girls down the aisle, I stood next to Paul and Tc as the president started to
marry them. It was looking like everything was going good when I heard gun shots
coming from the back of the school. I told them to finish I would go and see what is
going on.

I headed as fast as I could to the back of the school. When I got there were zombies
coming out of the river, with all this hot weather we been having the river was not
flowing like it should have been. I got on the radio and call Mia and told her that I
was going to need help down help. She asked me what was going on? I told her that
we have zombies coming across the river and we have a lot of them.

Just as the president said you can now kiss your brides, Mia run up there and told
Paul and Tc that they were needed to the back of the school. They kissed their brides
and grabbed their gun and headed to the river where I was waiting for them taking
out as many zombies I could. Mai started to one person from each guard tower leaving
one person at each tower.

Paul and Tc got there, there had to be just over a hundred dead walking mindless
hungry zombies coming across the river. Paul pointed to a spot on the ridge for Tc to
get his ass up there to help sniping the zombies. Mia called me on the radio and told
me that there are more people coming to help. I looked up and I saw Linda, Sabrina,
and Pam all coming over the ridge. Sabrina ran over by Tc and got in a spot to snipe
zombies. Pam ran over to Paul, he looked at her and said I love you, but I need you on
the other wall over there. She blew hi a kiss and ran to the wall. I told Linda to head
over with Pam and watch her back.

It took us about an hour to kill all the mindless bastards. We lost three people in that
attack. We never thought they would come across the river, now we need to build
something to block it off.
Tc asked what if we took a semi-truck and parked it in between the fences as a wall?
We can put people up there to keep a watch out.
Paul said that sounded like a good idea, but the only problem we might have is if the
water gets too high.
I said that we could have it set up to move it if we need to. We are also going to have to
put some panels on it so they can’t get under it to get through.

The president called us to his office. Paul and I were getting to go, Paul turned
around and told Tc to come with us. We can talk about this more on the way there.
The Col. was already there waiting for us to get there. Hi and the president were
talking about some of the things we needed to fix. When we got there the president
asked if we had the list of everything that needed to be fixed? We told him that we
have to list and we are going to get people on it.
The Col. said what is he doing here this is a meeting for the high ranking people.
I looked at the Col. and said that he is with us we were talking about how to fix the
back fence. We need to have something there some if more zombies cross the river
they can’t get in.
The president said that it was fine we can use all the help we can get.

The president asked Tc what was his idea?
Tc told him what it was and he thought it was a good idea, we also told him what we
were going to do to the trailer so they could not get under it. Paul and I told the
president and the Col. that all the thing that we have to fix here is going to take about
a month or more.
The president said that was fine, but when you are all doing that I want you to look
around and make sure that there is nothing more that we might be able to fix better.
He also wanted to know when we thought when we could make a move in to the city of
Corning to clear it out.
We told them that we should be able to scout it out in the next few weeks if we can get
some of the thing here fixed so if we come back and they follow we will be safe and
have a good way to wipe them out.
The Col. said he would like to see if we could mount a flame thrower on the wall by
the front gate. That would stop them if we could burn them down.
John said, now that is a good idea I think we could do that.

Two weeks later we were getting ready to head into the city of Corning. The Col.
helped us to get that flame thrower put up on the wall right next to the front gate. We
didn’t just put one up there, we put one on each side of the gate. He also put a 50
caliber machine on both side as well.
Pam came walking out with the gear that Paul gave her. She was loading her thing in
to the pickup truck that Paul and I ride in.
Paul asked her, what are you think you’re doing?
She said that she was going with us, I just got married to you and I am not going to
lose you. We are going to do everything together.
I looked over at Paul and said don’t fight it just let her come along.

We had a team of fifteen people to help of scout out the city. We were heading out of
the gate of the compound he had a five people on the blockade, they are going to open
it up so we can drive thou to get over the bridge. They were going to stay there until we
got back. We backed water and some MRE’s to eat just in case we get pin downed. We
were taking three pickup trucks two of the trucks would be carrying the teams and the
third truck would be used to bring things back to the compound. We were mainly
going to so how many zombies were still in the city and were we would need to put up
walls to make it a safer place to move everyone into the city. We wanted to add the city
with the compound so we could eventually go out and find more people to bring back.
But before we can do that there were a lot of thing that had to be done.

We drove across the bridge in to the back side of the city. We wanted to get in to the
buildings so we could get to the roof. We would be able to see big parts of the city and
we could go from one building to the next. Once we cleared the building on one block
we would then move to the next block. We wanted to clear the building and whatever
zombies we seen on the street or sidewalk. The first building we went into was a pet
store. There were no zombies in there, but there were a lot of dead animals. We all felt
sorry for the animals, they must have died from starvation. We headed to the next
building it was an office building, it was also clear.

We went from building to building a lot of them were clear. There were a few
buildings that had some zombies in, like some had apartment above the stores or
offices. Before we moved to the next block we had five people stay behind to get
whatever food or meditation they could find and load it into their truck. By the time
there were done, they would come and start on the next block that we clear. When we
were on the roof tops we would look down on to the street to see how many zombies we
could see. There were not many, we could only see like 15 to 20 zombies just walking
around. There were a few that were laying down or sitting alongside of buildings.
Some might be dead but it was kind of hard to tell. We took out the ones we could see.

So far so good we have not lost anyone yet, we hope that we don’t lose anyone at all.
Seeing my kids and people I care a lot about running from building to building scared
the hell out of me. Only because I know that if we screw up one little bit we could lose
the people I care about. I know that we are the best people to do this, it’s just I have
seen what happens to people that get bit or people that get corned by zombies with no
way out. I try notto think about it, but it’s always right there in the back of my mind.

We were on the fourth block, still on the right side. We still haven’t gone across the
street yet to clear that side. It was a little past 12 in the afternoon we decided that we
were on the roof of the fourth block that we would wait until the others to catch up
with us. When they get here we were going to sit down and eat. We still had five more
buildings not counting to one we are on to clear before we get to the other side of the
street. Some of the building were only had two to three floors, but a few had four
floors to clear. The building that had zombies in, we would kill them and open a
window and throw them out onto the side walk. We would leave the windows open to
air them out, because when we move in to the city it would be nice to have the building
not smelling like the dead.

About 45 minutes later the other finely caught up with us, we all sat down and eat
the MRE’s that we brought with us. We were all taking about a c
ouple of building on
the other side one was a pizza place and the other one was a BK everyone was saying
that they could go for a slice of pizza or a whopper and fries from BK. I told them that
I miss Denny’s I love their burgers and fries, but I will never have it again. No my
daughter in law Linda can make a really good burger, so I can live with that as long
as we can find more cows.

As we were eating Tc got bored and went to the side of the building and was taking
out zombies down on the street and the sidewalk. He was looking through the scope
when he seen tents on the roof top right across from us. We called John and Paul over
to take a look. Paul pulls out his binoculars and Tc pointed to the building right across
from us.
Paul said that it lookslike someone was living there but I don’t see anyone.
Tc was looking through his scope and said the same thing, but from what I can see it
looks like no one has been there for a little while.
I asked how can you tell that?
Tc said that the tent looks like it about to fall down. There is a big hole in the side of it.
Paul agreed with him he said that there was a pole with a lantern laying on the roof
right beside the tent. He also said that it looks like someone cut the tent with a knife to
get out of it.
I said we will check it out when we get over there.
Tc said wait I see blood on the right side of the tent and it almost looks like there is
someone still in the tent I can’t really tell. I can only see what looks like a foot.
I said that it can wait until we get over there, Paul agreed with me.

We all started to go to get the rest of the building on this street cleared. We got this
building cleared and was getting ready to head to the next. One of the men was not
paying attention and walked right in to a few zombies. He was screaming, we tried to
help but we could not get to him there were to many of the undead. Paul slammed to
door shut. He ordered everyone back to the roof. When we got up there he had Tc and
Pam get on the fire escape and try to kill all the zombies that they could see. Tc said
that he could see Tom he was on the top of a van.
Paul and I asked how bad is he hurt?
Tc said from what he could tell; he was hurt really bad. Tc called out to Tom and said

Tom looked back and told him to shoot him in the head. There were ten zombies that
grabbed Tom
They were still trying to get to him they were all around the van. Tc and Pam started to
shot the
zombies. After they killed them all, Tc called out to Tom to see how he was doing. Tom
just laid there,
Tc pulled up his rifle as he looked down the scope to see if Tom has turned yet. Tc tried
to call out for
him again and again, but Tom did not move or say anything. Paul told him that Tom is
gone just
shoot him. Tc had a tear run down his face as he shoots Tom in the head. When he
was done Tc said
this was getting to hard to shoot people that he calls a friend. Paul went over and sat
down with him
and told him that here in this messed up world. We are going to have to do thing that
going to break
us, but we need to move on.
