Growl~ Growl~ GROWL~
"You got to kidding me", once more cursing my luck and the infected outside as to waking up from my eternal slumber and look at the alarm.
Based on the clock is already dawn, a perfect wake up call to do the most gruesome and difficult job of survival in a apocalypse.
Dealing with a extermination job.
The usual cliche about it is that most main character to do during the beginning in zombie film is that each of them can massacre this son of bitch into piles of meat like they are waiting for the metal bat slamming at their bloody and dirty faces.
In reality is hell bend given to me as this suckers can run like a born athletes winning a triathlon and Olympics combined.
There are two types of mutation that I've encountered ever since the collapse.
First, the common infected their are the early stage of infection, slow but can be hard when form in groups and these types of infected can be manageable if you killed stealthily as you thinning the herd.
Second, Is called hunters, Basically speedster which I prayed to never encountered again as my first time went downhill as these guys can run and hide in blind spots recommend using improvise pipe bombs and my Excalibur, B4 12-gauge shotgun straight to the center mass of these campers.
What's the point for my quick introduction about these two is all about infection control and security.
My apartment complex is not just one building but it has 4 buildings as assigned dorm area and 1 admin building with a recreation center in the middle.
Two of the apartment dorms has been cleared which I already scavenged the building where I lived and the other building across the recreation center while other three went uncleared as I put on hold due to further supplies especially ammo.
Most days can be a safe heaven if I have good fortune landed on my lap when no signs of lingering and pesky infected intruding my front yard.
If the weather changes my fortune to suck and those infected from the uncleared apartments building will wreck your peaceful solitude, I must do my cleaning job on regular basis or else it could wreck my safehouse into minutes as the I didn't do a single kill on it.
As I slowly approach the balcony and take a lookout while drinking my cup of joe onto the direction recreation area of the apartment complex to see the situation that I'm standing in.
(5 common, huh)
Okay It seems I still have some luck left in my favor despite terrible wake up call.
This group very scattered around the recreation center, 2 of them has just left the party who I just mention when they went inside the building which is good, other 2 split off between the basket court and tennis area leaving this poor mob on his own by the large water fountain.
Remembering their positions as I went back inside and finished my daily cup of joe.
I changed my normal clothes to my usual gear arsenal with combat vest that I managed to get in my favorite military shop from near mall for extra protection and pockets for ammo and cargo pants for extra pockets for small things like candles, candies, batteries and matches.
Grabbing my improvise survival bag that I crafted from my former College bag that my dad gave to me before I left City G as I sling onto my back along with m1911 9mm pistol on my left holder and bolo knife in right hand.
Normally I can also bring my Excalibur, the B4 12-gauge shotgun to my arsenal just in case for more uninvited guest especially those I don't want to meet but is also too risky to use it since shooting that would bring death sentence to me as it was too loud and can draw out the infected in my direction which is bad.
Is better to use it during home defense as a last resort to escape the place.
With all necessary preparation is complete as I secure my safehouse and it's time to repaid these suckers with wrath.
————————
As I arrived to the recreation area, it seems the little guy by the large fountain has went off without my consent of saying goodbye probably my fault for not doing the final lookout before heading but still good as the other two is still in place that I left them from.
Firmly grip my Bolo Knife in my right as I slowly pave my way to the closest target by the tennis court creepingly while adjust the aim point of my knife towards it's back.
As I look closely at the clothes that infected wears it seems before he was a technician probably working in a hardware store in the nearby mall that I always visit.
It seems your luck also dried my friend, rest in peace brother and may your next life be better no infection there.
Prayed sincerely as I pierced it's neck.
Splaaash!!!~ Growl~
Sound of green blood was gushing out as I draw the Bolo knife with precision as it penetrate it's neck like butter ending quicker of this technician guy.
Okay One down an—
Growl~
Shit, Shit, and another fucking Shit.
I quickly turned around to see the common infected guy by the basketball court was face down dead in the ground as the hunter infected swoop in like a shadow appear without my notice.
This is very new for me as I never encountered an infected being attack by his own during one of my supply runs.
As I thought myself in the situation of how the hunter infected went under my radar as I witnessing this bizarre encounter when the hunter infected took a big bite off the head of a common infected's head gushing out green goo.
I don't know the reason for this encounter as I never heard it before and it was not mention in one of the information that I collected in the internet.
Bewildered of the moment as I crawl myself through the bushes.
Snap~
Oh snap I stepped a branch.
Growl!!!~~
The hunter infected spotted me as he jumps high over the metal wire fence and ran straight towards me.
Shit I'm dead meat now.
Prepare for the worst scenario as I firmly hold my Bolo Knife and quick changed my stance aiming the hunter infected momentum to my advantage.
One thing that I know from all my encounters from the infected is that they have no intelligence since all toxins fried out it's part of the brain to make rational and critical thinking with only primal instinct to spread infection.
The toxins virus I mention is the green goo which probably the base of virus infection.
Growl...
Huh???
Something unexpected were occured as the hunter infected went full stop in front me.
Okay weird as this was never happened compare to my experience during my first encounter of these type as this guy to actually stop in front of me.
Let me just...one step...two step...
As I approach slowly with caution and observe it's reaction.
It seems this guy didn't even flinced when I'm close proximity which is very poor decision of me and please just don't do this at home, kids.
Okay folks step aside as I'm going to create another dumbass idea and may someone already raising deathflags on me.
"HEY Zombo!!!", I shout and.
SLLAAAAPP~
A hard slap right at the face of the hunter infected.
"AH!", I scared myself which is dumb but still I scared to the point feeling that I'm gonna piss my cargo pants.
Quickly raised by Bolo knife quickly as I anticipate a pissed infected but.
Grooowwllll...
The Hunter infected still stood like typical dumb infected from the Dead of the Shawn Movie.
"Okay seem you want some pain though I don't even know if you even feel the pain but TAKE THIS!!!", I punch hard straight to the face.
But still nothing.
"How about this", I punch him again double jab.
Still the same even countless times to the point I even used the Gazelle punch and all time favorite Dempsey roll from my favorite boxing anime back from my childhood.
"Ack! My waist!!!", I felt the pain in the waist probably I'm not boxer really.
As I look again and still the same stoic and dumb Hunter infected.
Seriously this is already anti climatic and I was already expecting that give thriller chills to the bone for the audience.
Sorry folks it seems this show are already boring at this point.
Frustrated as I gonna do last gazelle punch straight to head to give some respite FATALITY!!!.
"HEY YOU!!! TRY AVOID THIS!!!", I pose myself like a pitcher doing a wind up stance as I put my last strength to this poor fellow.
Woosh~
But something unexpected again as the hunter infected were unscathely avoid my punch at last second.
"NANI!!!", I shocked to the point I switch language, sorry wrong channel just press 7 if you want some electromagnetic action as I'm sure get what I meant to say.
But anyhow back to reality.
"Tora!!! tora!!! tora!!! tora!!!", I keep saying the wrong language imagine like joko bashing this hunter infected with sheer amount of barrage punches.
Wait did I just say something very old like very paficus war like saying back there.
Nah... probably just my imagination.
Anywho again as I apologize for the many commercial break as I announce the most I used and even try limit break were all of it went misses.
"Haaaahh aah haaah..", I can't speak properly as I grasping for O2 asap and I hope my dear red blood cells can handle the workout.
I notice that this guy still unfazed.
Okay what made this hunter infected in front of me.
Retrace my steps like a true mad Scientist thinking were gone amiss.
*Ding*
That's the sound you think is system genre which you are wrong there my friend.
But a Enlightenment from the mind I finally realize a discovery of the new world humans have.
I have a quirk which I called this.
[I Among the Infected].
