Shoot out in Zelenogorsk

[JollyZ 0]

I woke up on the coast. I found a road and followed it east. I saw some people in the street, shambling. I called out to them. Then they sprinted towards me! Arms Flailing! Startled, I ran into the nearby brush and fell to the ground. Praying. They seemed to lose interest, and went back to shambling.

Unsure of what was going on, I proceeded to crawl on my stomach into town. I found some houses. Their doors flung open. Nervous but desperate for shelter I crept inside and found a canteen and some empty tin cans. I left the cans and crept back into town.

These shambling people were every where. Grunting and growling like rabid dogs. Unfamiliar with my surroundings, I crawled out of town and followed the road north.

After a short time the coast was clear and I ran through the woods and across the fields when I happened upon a barn. There were only a couple of those shambling creatures. I snuck past and found a Hatchet, some beans and a rifle. I wasn't sure what I would do with the rifle, but whatever was going on wasn't settling right with me.

I continued north across the fields when I came across a town. I snuck into a home and found a large backpack. The tag read 'Alice.' I stuffed my Beans into it and crept back out.

From the distance I saw what looked like a grocery store. I began to crawl towards it, when I looked to my left. A man was being chased by at least a dozen of those shambling things! I pulled out my rifle and ran to help, still keeping low, when he ran into the grocery. I fell to my stomach behind a shed when I heard gun shots. More than one shooter. The shambling creatures began marching out of the store. It must be too late for him...but where did all of those gun shots come from?

I crept out of town past a billboard when I heard more rounds fired. I froze. Heart pounding. Watching the movement of the creatures. It felt like an eternity before I crept back into town. I made it into the grocery to find 2 bodies in the aisles. In the back, 2 more. Outside, I found the man whom I saw run into the grocery dead. I searched his body and found his name was 'Doug.' I took another step outside and found 3 more bodies.

He had an M16, M119, binoculars, Watch, Entrenching Tool, Camel BackPack, A grenade, matches and a compass. I was no fully aware of how serious the situation was. These creatures would kill me. Other survivors would kill me.

I'd be dead like the rest of them had I been involved. I want to help the people in this chaos. But are they worth helping?
