Zombie World (5 page)

We gathered everybody after dinner, I told them that we all had a decision to make. I
said you know that Capt. Johnson and his men would like to stay here and be part of
our group. Capt. Johnson and I talked about them helping us out. I told him that was
not just up to me that would also be up to that people that live here. So that is way I
called you all here, I am not going to say that they can stay I am going to leave it to
everyone. We all made this place what it is, so I am going to let everyone here decide.
Capt. Johnson said that they would help us make this place safer and that him and his
men would go out and help us clear the city’s. he also said that him and his men
would gather food and clothing and whatever they can find. I put a box on the table I
want everyone to write on a piece of paper yes for them to stay or no for them to leave.
I will leave you with this I believe that Capt. Johnson and his men would be big help
here.

I had the Captain and his men come into the cafeteria, to hear what the vote was.
Mia came over to me and handed me the paper. I jumped upon the table and I got
everyone’s attention to let them know what the verdict was. The room got very quiet as
I start to read, we the people of New Corning do here by to let Capt. Johnson and his
men to live here and to protect us from any danger that may try to kill us or do harm
to us. I looked over to the Captain and waved to him to come up here on the table to
join me. Everyone cheered as the Captain got upon the table. I yelled out for everyone
to be quiet listen up. I said now that we have Capt. Johnson and his men I am feeling
safer.
I asked the Captain if he had anything to say?

The Captain said yes I do; first will everyone stop calling me Captain my name is
Paul. My men and myself are going to help out where ever we can. The first thing we
are going to do is we are going to go and block of that bridge. Then we are going to go
to the local W-mart and clear everything out of it and bring it back here. We are
planning on doing that to all the stores in the area and do the same. I am going to sit
down with John and we are going to make a plan to clear out the city as well. We are
going to need as any people as we can get to join us. We are going to rebuild starting
with one city at a time. I know that there has to be a lot more people out there that we
can help and bring them back to help us with making a new world, but I know it’s
going to take time.
Paul stepped back, and asked me if I had anything to add.
I stepped forward and said yes I do. I am glad you found us, and happy that you are
going to help make this place we call home a safe place to live. I told everyone that
what we are going to be doing is not going to be easy and I know we are going to lose
people to what’s out there but I know we can get over whatever happens. It going to be
a long and rough ride that we are going on, but I have faith in everyone here. We need
to do this if any one going to survive it’s going to be this group right here. Paul gets
down off the table and Mia gets on. I step back and I let her speak.
Mia begins talking about how she sees everything coming together. We have a lot of
strong people here and like my husband said we are going to lose people, but no
matter what happens we need to stick together and help one another through it. We
have to make this world a safe place, so the people that want to have kids and the ones
that already have kids have a safe place to live.

Paul and I walked into the old office the school had we turned it into are planning
office.
I told Paul that we have a lot to talk about.
Yes, we do Paul replied, we got a lot to do here before we can leave here and start
clearing the city’s. he said that he hopes that everyone here knows how much work
that they are going to be doing.
I told him that everyone has worked hard and you see what they have done so far.
Paul said you all have done a lot but there is a lot more to do and that means that we
are going to have to get the people here to understand that we are going to have to
work night and day.
I told him that if we make a plan the people here will do whatever we need them to do.
They need to do this I think it helps them from going nuts.
Paul said that he has no doubt that the people here will bust their ass to make this
place a good place.

We sat down at the desk he sat on one side and I sat on the other side. I pulled out a
map that I have been working on of the home base, I had another one of the city of
Corning. I was showing him some of the building that I think we need to clear first.
I told him that the first building on have on the map marked, if we can clear the
building and make it to the roof we would have access to a few more that we could
work are way down inside to clear them.
Paul said that I have good instinct on how to do things and that he was glad that he
found us. He also said that he agrees with everyone that I am leader and that they
would follow me anywhere.
I told him that I am not trying to be in charge.
Paul said that people just me and I am in charge everyone said that they’re going to
make you the man in charge.
I asked him and what if I don’t want to be in charge?
He looked at me and in this stern voice and said suck it up butter cup you’re their
leader.
I smiled and said ok since you put it that way.

We worked through most of the night making plans. Mia worked on a singe up
sheet, for people to singe up to learn how to use a weapon and how to kill zombies
even thou most everyone already knows how. She also worked on a singe up sheet to
find out what jobs people wanted to do. She had on that list from cooking to burning
the dead zombies. We were going to let people know what was going on and where
they could singe up for what they wanted to do. We all headed off to get some sleep
before the sun came up.

I as waken by the sounds of gun fire coming from the front gate. I jump out bed and
went to the find out what was going on, I didn’t even put on my pants before I went
out there. I stood at the front gate in my under wear, yelling to my son Willie what in
the hell is going on.
Willie looked at me and pointed that is what’s going on, zombies are coming. He said
that there has to be at least a hundred. Mia came running down she handed me my
rifle. About ten to fifteen minutes later we had them all down. Paul stood there beside
me and with a grin on his face asked me is this how you fight zombies in you under
wear. I snickered and said be lucky I have this much on. He started laughing.

Everyone on here came a running. Mia got up on the bus and told everyone that we
have a lot to do today. We are going to need everyone here to help get all of these dead
bodies in to the burning pit.
Kelly came up and asked Mia what about the people that are pregnant?
Mai stood up and said the women that are pregnant head to the kitchen and start
making breakfast.
Mia got down and told Kelly thanks I almost got in trouble on that one.
Kelly said I am going to the kitchen.
Mia said stop, you can help with the cleanup.
Kelly said, well you just told everyone who is pregnant to go to the kitchen. Since I am
pregnant I have to go to the kitchen.
Mia got this big smile on her face and ran to John and said you’re going to be a
grandpa.
I told her I know Sabrina is going to have a baby.
Mia said not just Sabrina someone else is making you a grandpa.
Kelly stood there with a shitty grin on her face. I ran over to her and gave her a big
hug.
I told her that she just made me a happy man, I am now having two grand kids.

Paul and I went to the office to look over the singe up sheet to see who wanted to
learn to shot and go out and clean out the stores to start. Once everyone that doe’s
learn and doe’s well will be on the team that will help clear the City. We finger that it’s
going to take about three to four weeks before we can head out to do any of the
clearing. We also came up with a plan that if this place doe’s get over run, we have
buses and trucks ready to move out on a moment notice. The buses would carry the
people and the trucks would carry the food and weapons. As we look over the list of
names we were surprised on how many people were on the list. It looked like everyone
that was able to carry a gun were on the list.
Paul said that there is more people on this list then we have weapons.
I told him that there are more weapons out there we are going to have to find them
and bring them back.
Paul told me that the old W-mart might still have guns and ammo there if no one has
already cleared it out.

I told him that there was a trooper barracks in Cooper plans just off the exit. I was
telling him that they might have weaponsthere to. I was telling him that it wasn’t that
far from here. I said that with his men, and my four sons and myself could go there
and check it out. When we get done there we could head over to W-mart and get what
they have also.
Paul agreed and asked when should we do this?
I said that we can get it done today, give me an hour and I will have my boys ready to
go.
He replied good that gives me time to get my men ready also.

I radio and called for Willie, Robert, Bryan, and Xander to come to the office. I also
radioed to my wife Mia to come also. When they came in to the office I told them what
we were going to do. They said that they were ready.
I told Mia that I needed her to stay here and hold down the base until we got back.
Mia told me that they have a lot to do. She said that they need to finish getting to rest
of the dead zombies to the pit to get them burned.
I told her to make sure that they check to make sure that none of them have any
weapons on them that we could use.
She said that she would check every body, she also said that she would not burn them
until we got back.
Paul walked in to the office and said that him and his men were ready to head out.
Mia walked up to Paul and told him to make sure that my husband and my boy’s come
back safe. Paul said that he would make damn sure that nothing would happen to
them.
Mia looked at him and said that if anything happens don’t come back here, if you do I
will bury you.
I looked at Mia and told her that I will be fine.

It took us about an hour
to get to the trooper’s barracks. Paul yelled out to his men,
you know what to do I need three in the back, two on the right and two on the left. TC
I need you up there on the top of that building.
Paul and the rest of us headed to the front, Paul banged on the door. We waited but
not for long three zombies were in side.
Paul told me to step back that him and his men got this.
He whips open the door bang, bang, bang and all three were down.
He pointed to the three man in his team to head inside, as I was just going through the
first set of doors I hear bang, bang and one of his men yelled out clear hear. Then it
was like row call one by one clear hear.
Paul said the building is clear, we can look for what we need.
There were a lot of dead cops in this place and the smell was almost unbearable. Paul
hand me a bottle of Vicks and told me to rub some under my nose, he said that it
would help with the smell.
Wow I said this works great, I need to get me some of this.
He told me to keep it, I have more.

Looking around in here I could not believe what I was seeing some of these troopers
killed them self before they turned. This place looks like Rambo came through. The
troopers that did turn they were missing arms and parts of their face, some had their
guts hanging out it looked horrible. Paul had his men move the bodies in to one room.
I also told them to put one more shot in their head just to make sure there not going to
come back.
Willie yelled out I found where they keep the weapons.
Paul told his me to get the weapons that the troopers had on them and to put them in a
different bag so they could clean them before anyone shoot them.
We walked in to the room Willie found and started to pack them up. There was a safe
in the room. Paul and I wondered what could be in there. Paul went in to the captain’s
office and started to look around in his desk.
I asked him, what are you looking for?
He stated that I am looking for the keys to that safe. I know that there has to be more
weapons in it.
I walked out to were his men were moving the bodies and asked if they found the
captain. They all said no, but one stood there and said yes he is right here. I went over
to the body, I bent down and went through his pockets and no keys I turned him over
and the key were on his belt loop. I grabbed them and headed in to the captain’s office
where Paul was.
I told him that I found his keys. I threw the to him.
We went back in to the room where the safe was, and Paul started to go through the
keys to find the one that would open the safe. It took him a few minutes but he found
the right one. He opened it and it was full. There were ammo and five machine guns
and three sniper rifles, and in the bottom of the safe there were a case of hand
grenades. Paul looked at me and said we hit the mother load.

We were getting ready to head to W-mart. Paul told me that he wanted to stop at the
fire stone.
I asked him why do you want to stop there?
He told me that we are going to need lead for bullets.
I told him that W-mart would have that to they do tires there as well.
I know, but like I said we are going to need a lot of it. We are going also need to find
gun powder.
I don’t think W-mart is going to have that, Paul.
He said that if we are going to have to find a gun store for that.
I told him the only one know about around here is that there I one in the town of
Savona, and the town of Bath.
He said that we should be fine for now, but before we can go in to the city of Corning
we are going to need to find that gun powder.

We wer
en’t at fire stone long, we went in grabbed what we needed and headed out.
We pulled in to the W-mart parking lot. I have never seen this parking lot so clear. We
got out and Paul told his men you know what to do and where to go now move it.
TC said sir where do you want me.
Paul said I want you to climb on top of the truck and keep watch out.
TC replied yes sir going sir.
I asked, what is up with him?
Paul said that he is a well-trained soldier.
We headed in on the side that had sporting goods. We were moving slow throughout
the store, making are way to sporting goods. Paul stopped by the pharmacy dept.
I asked him why are we stopping here?
Paul replied it looks like no one has been here yet. We need to come back here in the
morning and bring a doctor with us. He would know what we might need for med’s.
I told him that was a good idea, we will do that.
