Ok… so maybe I went a bit overboard with trying to teach the guys that the post-apocalyptic situation that we have found ourselves in was full of things trying to kill us because as soon as we got within 100 feet of the mall, they had spread out, their guns drawn and looking for their next target.
Too bad the entire area around us was empty, but you know… better to be safe than sorry, I guess.
As covertly as I could, I weaved around the soldiers using overturned cars as cover as they brought their AK-15s up to their line of sight. Walking up the three steps to the main entrance of the mall, I looked through the glass door.
I will fully admit that the lack of people, zombies, and animals had started to take their toll on my nerves, but there was a mall in front of me with probably more supplies than I could store in my space (not really, but you get the idea) and no one to compete for them.
