"The attack from A-Day number have increased but here some are factoids just in case if you haven't figured it out yet. The first is loud noise attracts them, the second is they travel in hordes, the third is they come out during the night, the fourth is removing the head or severing the brain will kill them and the fifth an final one is travel during the day always try to stay ahead of them. This is Henry D. White telling you how survive this hellish nightmare because we can't give up on humanity, to these godless creatures. You are our last hope, stay safe and stay alive. Now here's a song from an old era not yet gone and still burning bright." the radio jockey stopped talking and put the music came on, I look in the rear view mirror an found my militia group following me, in the hope's of us finding our new permanent home and our last one was a good one an safe but not from our own people. We were betrayed by our Chief Security Officer, Damion Mitchell. It was believed that Mitchell was working with the local bikers from Steeleman Valley, they called themselves Reapers, they are finatics, cannibals and rapists. I turned the volume higher as the classic rock song started to come on the radio, as I jammed out I saw my cigarette in ashtray just waiting to be smoked, I grabbed it, I immediately lit it, I took a drag off it and I immediately started to feel relaxed. The roads that led up to this point, they had some cars on them but mostly the roads were empty, it was early in the morning the sun just arose, so the light was bright and I knew we had to stop soon to restock on some fuel supplies an other supplies.
I rolled down my window, I motioned with my finger for us to pull over, within thirty minutes we all were making a small campsite and that's when things got serious.
"Alex?" Jack the tech savvy one of the group, called out for me on the radio.
"What can I do for you Jack?" I responded as I continue looking on the map for a place with some security, resources to give us and some peace, a haven if you will.
"I'm about 30 minutes away from camp, I found an old military bunker, with a small air field and 2 small building's. It's got a fence surrounding but it could use some work. I think this could beour new home boss." Jack was excited from the first moment he began explaining the place.
"Come back to the camp and take us there Jack. Good work Jack, you saved us." I got a little emotional but I kept my cool.
"Will do and no Alex, you saved all of us. We are all alive right now because of you. So this is nothing boss. We only just begun. Be back soon." an with that Jack was gone and the walkie went silent.
"Alright everyone gather around I got some good news to share with you." I spoke out loud so the 16 people that were there could hear me clearly.
"Jack found us a possible solid place to make our head quarters and establish ourselves. I believe Jack, I want a inventory list started list, so we can see what we need an don't need, I wanna supply list as well food, scrap metal, gas, fuel and water. I want this done by the time Jack gets back." I gave everyone the info an Intel they needed for our next step and I need help getting everything organized.
"Yes sir!" everyone responded, they got immediately to work, they didn't bump heads or argue they nailed the task's at hand. Within twenty-five minutes minutes, the lists were made and everyone was ready to go. Jack rolled up in his custom Off-road pickup truck, anything mechanical or electrical Jack could figure out how it works and make twice as better than before. It's his natural born gift, an natural born gifts should not go to waste.
"Boss I can't wait to show you this place. It's got endless potential. Follow me." Jack spoke quickly but you could tell he was excited beyond belief. He waited for me to get into my custome Off-road SUV, that Jack put togther for me after I saved him, which I thought was cool but I wished he had asked because I prefer American muscle cars old school an pre-apocalyptic. As we drove, we were higher than the forest preserve because you had a view to look upon from the top view looking down, the drive was peaceful, than after thirty minutes we came a small military base, with an decent airstrip, a watch tower, two small building one antenna and a small radio tower to boot, the fence around it was slightly damaged but fixable, there were two military vehicles. I looked around and I agreed hundred percent with Jack, endless potential.
"What did I tell you boss, endless potential." Jack spoke proudly of his accomplishment.
"You did very good Jack." I responded to Jack as I shook his hand and Jack began to get emotional as other congratulated him as well. I slowly slipped but to be only met by Maira, she was my wepons specialist.
"Boss we hit the jackpot, we have 2 trucks full of weapons plus ammo, we have a helicopter, crates full of different types of canned foods an MRE, we got a small lab on the lower floor apparently we have 3 floors. Who knew?" she handed me a list of everything and she went back to the upper level.
"Perfect." I whispered out loud. I had two soldiers follow me down to the Lab, as wemade are way down some soldiers stopped me for some clearance, the were not a part of my militia but I showed my credentials that I got made from our original militia and I had clearance. I made my way through an what we saw were scientist working on mutated animals infected on the virus, I moved from station to station looking on various experiments taking place. Until I was met byctwo doctors.
"Here you go sir. The super soldier serum is complete and we are proud to say zero side effects and if you want we can demonstrate for you how process goes-" but I cut them off immediately.
"I volunteer myself." I went with the doctors and my soldier, they brought me to a room, gave me a sedative and than the serum but as I slept I felt the serum working it's way through my body, at some points I felt extremely hot an other's I felt extremely cold. Than nothing I felt completely fine but when I woke up everyone was gone.
