(hey got the motivation to make another chapter won't be consistent posts but I will try)
The mayor decides to call everyone to gather as he has to tell them something important. surprisingly its mostly elderly people that exit the homes I could only spot a few young people compared to them. mayor Dave first gets the local sheriff named Rick to stand with him apparently he got him up to speed already.
**people of Northwood a disease has happen in major cities in texas and surrounding states. what I need to tell you is it causes the dead to rise and attack people spreading it. They act similarly to zombies alot of the National guard is currently fighting off the infected it is however a losing battle. Congress is currently deciding if they should send in the military to end the infected. However our tiny town will not survive long enough for help to arrive people will flee the cities and while some will be good people we cannot garentee they will all be good people with good intentions. So I call in a vote if we should go to the nearby military base to seek shelter and safety.
The vote is actually closer then I thought with 27 people voting to go and 23 voting to stay and 4 abstaining. for some reason the mayor and sheriff abstained with 5 other people presumably other government officials and deputies. I will ask them later why they did that.
I decided to first refill our vehicle at the local gas station even though I didn't have an empty tank better have then not need as my father always used to say. I don't know where Daniel and Eric wandered off too I should find them.
When I head to the mayors office in search for them I see everyone packing stuff into their cars. This place does not have many young people compared to the old I observe. I finally arrive at the mayor's office after walking a bit I see Daniel and Eric talking with mayor Dave. They are talking about what to do if the military base is destroyed before we reach there what will we do and where will we go.
Apparently some people decide to stay around 11-12 they hope the military will arrive and save them. Hopefully we are ready to depart in a few days I feel uneasy for some reason waiting here.
