Chapter 4 - I didn't shoot?

Seeing that Rick was getting riled up from Glenn, I scoot over to the side to let Rick speak with Glenn. We got the greatest tip to exist: Make a run for it.

Rick looked towards me and asked, "Are you ready?" I gave my answer, "Yeah, take that shovel." I pointed towards the shovel for Rick to take. After seeing Rick pick it up, I pull out my wakizashi and open the tank's top hatch, knowing about the zombie still on top, I thrust my blade into its forehead, killing it with ease. I climbed out and waited until Rick got out, with him gone we both run and jump off the tank. Rick screwed up his landing and began limping towards the alley.

I followed slightly behind him as he shooting shooting zombies in his path, drawing the previous horde as well as more other strays, we made it to the alley and I sprinted pass Rick since I knew he was going to keep shooting and pocket the pistol. He wouldn't have enough time to begin climbing if Glenn and I start so I climbed a bit of the ladder and maneuvered myself to the outside of it as fast as I could.

Rick made it by a hair's breadth and started his ascent. He paused to look at me since I was climbing from safety guard to the platform. He climbed as he looked at me in wonder and said, "Aren't you scared of falling?" I gave a slight chuckle and responded, "A bit. Even if I fell into that horde of zombies, I'll still make it to you." He laughed and said, "Oh yeah? You'll be just like them though." I smiled slightly and thought to myself, 'I really do want to stay with this group, the people are interesting but I already know the future of what would happen in this state. I want to capitalize on that and become the one of the first emperors of this country.'

Climbing up towards the platform, I hopped over the guard rail onto the platform. Rick was panting as Glenn was calling him, "Dumbass." Glenn still made a dark joke, saying, "At least it will be the fall that kills us," as he looked up the ladder that led to the top of the building. He looked over to me and said, "Are you crazy? Climbing on the side like that instead of the ladder, jeez man." I gave a small laugh and said, "If I didn't, Rick would of been zombie food since he wanted to pocket the gun and you were climbing too slow." Rick seemed to realize that Glenn was just above him and said thanks to me. I shrugged and started the claiming to the roof. In the mean time, I checked my status and saw that the only change was below my race was 'Z Points.' I asked the system for an explanation and apparently it's the system's currency for the shop. Z-Points can be gained by killing Humans, Zombies, Animals, and Insects. Humans net 500, Zombies net 300, Animals net 50 if it's small, 100 if it's medium, and 200 if it's large, and for Insects, all are worth 5.

After about 15 minutes, we arrived at the alleyway and Glenn called in on a walkie talkie that there were 4 zombies in the alley. I swiftly pulled myself over the ledge and began to jump down from section to section to the ground, pulling out my blade I stabbed the closest in the forehead and yanked out my blade before backing up and letting the other zombie take its swing before killing it the same as as the previous. When the zombies fell, two guys rushed out from the door of a building and started looking around before looking towards me and seeing the closest zombies were already dead before my feet. Glenn and Rick made it down and Glenn shouted for everyone to get inside the building.

Making it inside the building, I was the first one followed by Glenn then Rick, I didn't shoot so I didn't expect for her to grab me and start shouting at me in rage, "You bitch, we ought to kill you." The others, less informed of who was shooting was telling her to back off to which she responded, "Ease up? You're kidding me. We're dead because of this stupid slut." I chuckled to which she started to point the gun closer to my face, I simply swiped my hand up and disarmed her before telling her, "I didn't shoot a single bullet. Just because I look to be loaded with guns and ammo, doesn't mean I used any. Here's a tip though, turn off the safety the next time you point a gun at somebody." I paused for a moment before saying, "I'm a guy, but you can probably tell from my voice now that I spoke." My voice sounded a bit feminine, but it was beautiful; perfect to the ears, neither too high or too deep. Am I becoming a narcissist?!

Andrea was a bit shaken from the sudden turn of events and became a bit absent minded. I patted her on the back and she quickly woke up from her stupor. The atmosphere was a bit tense but lighted up seeing that I didn't do anything else. Rick broke the silence and atmosphere with a question that frustrated Andrea a bit, "What do you mean by, 'We're all dead?'" The guy who's name I forget from the series starts giving him a rundown while bringing us all to the store's doors. "Because of your shooting, all the geeks for miles around heard you popping off rounds. Do you get the picture?" With the last part, he pointed Rick towards the doors being crowded and broken bit by bit from the zombies.

We started hearing shots from the roof and Andrea said in a tone that seemed as if she were going to breakdown crying, "Oh no, is that Dixon?" Everyone started to rush up to the roof.
