Should I settle here? again, I asked myself, is it possible for me to settle here? I never once thought of settling on a place since every base I went into got either raided or got overwhelmed by zombies and settled on this village just by myself, will be a huge work it's been months since the last time I saw a survivor, well he started to attack me so I killed him.
I don't know if I still can trust humans, and if I ever settle here, I would for sure be noticed by either zombies or raiders and I don't want that, but all the materials here would be a waste, I can't take them all with me...
...What should I do?
Stuck on what to do, walking back and forth thinking deeply on what should I do, this decision will change my whole life, then something unexpected came, fate? by God's will? or just a pure coincidence? If so, am I lucky? or is this a luck in disguise?
As I said earlier, I am walking back and forth into some random house I've cleared when the floor of the house I'm walking on seems strange, I quickly check it, knocking on every floor I've walked on, then I found it, the unusual one.
Checking it carefully, it was a hidden door on the floor, I found a key hole, and with my skill open it, there I found a staircase downstairs, nervous I carefully went down, with my flashlight and my pistol with me.
I successfully went downstairs, and what I saw was... a bunker! I was smiling when suddenly someone grabbed me, wait, someone? I quickly pointed out my flashlight and pistol at it, and it was a zombie, I quickly shot it, unexpectedly it's not alone, the zombie rush at me pushing me on the floor, it was completely dark, my flashlight are my only light, I don't know where it is.
I tried to keep my calm, but it's impossible. Am I gonna die here? I can feel it, his breath, his teeth pushing it's way on my arm, I scream in pain as it bite my arm, angry, and out of instinct I grab the knife on my waist and randomly stab near my arm, I stab it but I don't know if it's still alive or not.
I stab and stab at it constantly, crying, tears falling down on my chin. Is this my end? I grabbed my flashlight and looked at it, I quickly checked the whole room if there were still any zombies, and there was none.
"Fck, fck, fck, fck" I quickly go upstairs, I check the bite, to my luck it was only on the arm, I quickly cut off some of my clothes and wrapped it around my arm that I'm about to cut, all the knife I have was used in slaying zombies, these aren't safe, looking around, panicking what I only saw was a small kitchen knife laying around, only around 5 cm long.
I then began crying desperately, trying to hold my scream, I forced it to succeed, I didn't know what's going on anymore, I lost consciousness, I woke up and immediately checked my surroundings, letting a large sighed of relief, I'm still alive, I looked at my arm and I did successfully cut it, I'm feeling dizzy, the clothes I used to block the blood is full of blood, and the blood still didn't stopped.
I stand up, dizzy, forcing myself to walk, I feel like a drunk man who wants to go home after partying, the hell.
Finally, I made my way to the very first house I've cleared, I put all the stuff I found there, and I organized it, so I easily found the medical supplies, I first take tons of pain killers,
I then rinse the cut with water and apply pressure with sterile gauze, a clean cloth. The blood soaks through the clothes, so I put another clothes on top of the first and keep applying pressure. Raising my hand to slow bleeding.
After a few hours, the bleeding then stops, I cover the wound with a new, clean bandage. Well damn, luckily, I joined that medic crew in the pre apocalypse, I knew it would be useful for me, but I thought I would use it here.
I eat tons of canned foods than usual, then fall asleep. The moment I woke up, I noticed the bandage was covered in blood, so I again changed it to a new one. This will be a problem.
I need a place to rest...
...the bunker
I have no other choice, do I? the bunker is clear, so I take my stuff there. While double checking the bunker, I found a light switch, I turned it on, and to my surprise, it worked, I checked why, and there were some solar panels on the house's roof.
I first take out these zombie bodies, I can't carry them whole, so I cut them into pieces and throw them outside. After that, I then questioned myself if this was really a bunker or just a basement? well, I don't care it's underground, and I'm safe here from the outside.
The foods I've scavenged from this village are good enough for me in months, there are also water pump for water, I guess the luck to find this place just for exchange of my arm is a fair deal.
For the next few days, I start making a prosthetic arm. The design I need is for it to carry, and also to become a weapon, I don't have the luxury, so as long as it's useful to me, I don't care.
The arm that got cut off was my left hand, which is not my dominant hand, so it's kinda lucky, my arm was replaced by a long blade, thou it can be covered with a design of a hand, so that I can carry something like gun.
It's not perfect, but I have to deal with it. With that, a week passed, learning from my leason I make myself an armor, with alloy I covered the parts of my body that can be bitten, such as my hand all the way to my neck, foot all the way to my waist, the bullet proof vest will protect my belly, and my back? I'm always carrying a backpack, so I don't need to.
In a week on that underground, I read a diary, the two zombies I killed were a couple, something interest me while reading their diary, [ When the outbreak began we didn't join the others to go to the bunker and went on our way ]
[ In the end, we we're right not to join them. One of them got infected and spread immediately, killing every one of them ]
It's bad news for them, but good news for me, a bunker? and to be able to fit everyone in the village, that must be huge. This time, I come prepared, and the bunker is a bit far away from the village. Just by going there, I already encountered some zombies roaming around.
The place was in a plain area, It was quick to find the entrance since cars are parked there and it was opened, I first checked my surroundings, when everything is cleared, I lure them upstairs by shooting a pistol without a silencer, as soon as the gun fire was shot they immediately rushed upstairs as planned.
I don't know how many are there, but I will kill them even if they are a thousand zombies.
