Chapter Two

As the elevator went up, I began thinking about what my next move should be. Hopefully wherever I am has towns, who knows what I'm gonna need to get through this apocalypse. Apocalypse, as the elevator came to a clean stop and its doors open, I was blinded by the extremely hot sun. I had must of been underground for more then a day it seems. It took me a moment to adjust to the sunlight but eventually I did. That factor did not make the aggressive heat waves of the sun any less stronger, I can only imagine how more horrid the smell of decomposing bodies have gotten. Looking around I can see that I am in some kind of camp, or what's left of it anyways. There we a few decomposing bodies laying scattered across the dirt ground floor. Thankfully, there are no monsters so far, but I focused and turn my hand into finger blades just in case. For now I would get use to fighting with these blades, only using my gun if absolutely neccessary.

Tents littered the wrecked camp, I checked each of them for supplies. After checking each one I only managed to find a granola bar, an opened water bottle and a few stray bullets going to the gun I have. I put the granola bar and bullets into my pocket, throwing water bottle else where. Hearing it splash, I continued walking towards what looked like the exit from th camp, they have a gated system but a massive hole was ripped through it. That didnt look like the size of a normal human/monster, please just let it be a crazy coincidence.

Walking out of the tattered gate, I dodged and weaved in order to avoid getting struck by the gates stray sharp edges. Of course, be the insanely clumsy person I am, I miss stepped and shredded some of my arm on a piece of gate.

"FUCK!" I cried out, going to reach the cut that landed on my forearm. I was taken aback when I saw what my hand was reaching for. The cut was mending itself together, roping and pulling the skin together like stitches. Steam poured out of the wound while it was fixing itself, and eventually stopped all together. At that moment realization hit me even harder, I'm no longer human, am I?

I snapped out of my daze looking forward towards the path of dirt leading into the Forrest surrounding the camp. My best chance is this path leading outside of the forest to a road, and then maybe I could find a town to go to and get my bearings a little better. I followed the trail through the Forest, the trees blocked out the scorching sun thank god. I cant believe theres an apocalypse going on at the worse possible season.

Far ahead I see the end of this trail, thankfully it did lead to a road. Even more fortunate, there is a car that looked to be vacant. Hopefully it has gas and charge so that I could move around faster then walking. Although with these powers I bet there is a way for me to move faster.

I raise my arm to the window and bust it open, unlocking the door and getting inside. I closed the door behind me and looked around the area I was in to make sure nothing came crawling out of the Forest from the sound. After double-checking I looked in the ignition key delighted to see that its keys were there. Twisting them I was on my way down the road hoping to find a town for my next move.

After a while of going through a forest I finnaly made it out into a clearing, still some trees every now and then but the majority of the forest was behind me now. Riding through this insanely hot sun was a pain in the ass, I prayed that wherever I land has water because I'll definitely be needing it. Speaking of destinations, overhead a hill I see a vacant town. I quietly cheered an put a little more gas into the car so I may get to the town faster. After a 10 more minutes of driving I made it into the town and drove around looking for some kind of super market. The town was eerily silent, it's so weird seeing nobody outside since its usually booming. The town's color had sort of a dead gray tint to it. Dead rotting bodies littered the ground, fortunately I was riding fast enough to avoid the stenches. While riding I thought to myself, 'what could have caused this apocalypse?' that was something I hopefully could find the answer too but as of right now I need resources.

After driving around for what felt like forever I came across a mini-mart, it looked vacant but you could never be too careful. I focused turning my fingers into blades effortlessly this time, seemingly getting the hang of it easily. I parked the car and and stepped out, creeping my way towards the store. I had to pry the doors open since the store had no electricity for them to automatically open. Prying them open ultimately made a lot of noise, and just my shit luck, about five monsters came stumbling from the back ground. Two in the front, three in the back. I prepared my self and launched at the nearest monster in front of me, slicing a part of its head off but it kept shambling towards me. "Shit!" I swore dodging backwards as it tried to attack me, I'm no good at fighting and dont have any tactics to deal with these fucks yet. I drove my hand into the base of the monsters skull, pulling out and kicking it into the 2 monster behind it. Looking behind me I saw that the mini mart door closed, I smirked. The doors being closed means the sounds of gunshots would be muffled.

I drew my gun, aiming it to the heads of the monsters in the back, I fired of 5 shots in total, missing the first two but hitting all three zombies in their heads. Each monster fell onto the floor with a crack, the heads breaking open and blood pouring out of them. I gagged, but focused on the monster that was knocked down to the floor who made itself known with a angry growl. I wasted no time aiming my gun at the monsters head and spilling its brains all over the place.

I sighed and put a hand on my chest, that was intense. Man I suck ass at fighting, I'll have to practice. After taking a short break I walked around the store checking for anymore monsters, I checked the back, behind the counters, and each ile in the store. It was all clear. Thankfully it wasn't days into the apocalypse and everything wasnt expired, I searched for preservative foods such as peanut butter, peanuts, and other goods. I also grabbed a few healthy snacks I planned on eating immediately such as dried vegetable chips and a few other things. I grabbed cans of meat that wouldnt expire weeks from now, and water bottles from the fridges they had.

Trying not to get too greedy, I grabbed two backpacks and began piling my stuff into them. Making sure that everything fits nicely. When I saw that I had room, I went back to certain iles and got a few other necessities. Feeling satisfied with what I had, I hurried back out to my car. I got in thinking about what I was going to do next, I suppose I would have to find a house to stay in for the night seeing as tho it was getting dark. I began looking as a drove around, hopefully I can find something or I'll be sleeping in my car tonight.
