Chapter 17

I wake up and uncover the windows. I get in the front seat to get out. I grab my stuff and begin the long journey of finding a new vehicle. I walk for about 3 hours, greeted by at least 50 zombies. I spot a group of people, they haven't spotted me yet so I decide to get closer. I see an explosion as one of them desperately commits suicide. I run up and grab the grenade in another guys hand right before he pulls the pin. He pulls the pin accidentally out right when I take it from him. I throw it into the woods and dive towards the ground. The explosion sends debris everywhere. chunks of wood sticking into things. a piece of wood flew into my back I winced in pain. I pulled it out and wrapped my torso with a bandage that was surprisingly under the backseat of the old vehicle. I get up and grab the man about to throw him off the bridge in rage when his friend grabbed my shoulder and said, "Don't throw him off the bridge it'll only cause more problems. He is very important to our leader which is back at our community. Our community is the same way you were heading." I nod my head and place the man on the ground as I say, "The Community I was driving away from is full of psychopaths they tried to kill me so I ran." The man who stopped me from throwing the guy off the bridge nods and motions me to come with them. "So, this community is somewhat big right?" I ask in concern they turn and look at me and nod, "Am I going to have to contribute to the community through a job?" I ask. The man who I nearly threw off the bridge then says, "Yes, but I will ask the leader to give you a higher position you have guts and you probably could hold a leadership position. You are the type of person I like." I Walk a little faster and nod.

5 Hours Later----------------------------------------------------

I am starting to get tired as I look and see a community with walls and guards pacing around and on top of walls. As we get closer the guy who I nearly threw off the bridge yells, "NEW MEMBER WITH US HE IS PRETTY COOL OF A GUY" The gates begin to open as 12 people flank out of the gates and begin to secure an area so that approaching zombies cant get in. I walk in and immediately someone walks up and greets me. The man I nearly threw off the bridge says, "This is my younger brother, the leader his name is Hank and I'm John." I nod as I say, "I'm Yuki, im from korea the U.S. government recruited me in korea for a scouting mission and left me. I took a helicopter and got here again after hours. I've been through hell and back." Hank then speaks up, "You have been through hell and back. I want you to be my lieutenant here. If I get captured by an enemy or if I die. You take over no matter what anyone says. You will have a great time here. Welcome aboard this community is called Crane." I nod as they lead me to the housing and let me choose my house. I choose a large brick mansion that looks hard to burn down and looks hard to even damage. They look at me and hand me the keys and have me clothes, a scouting uniform, and camouflage with steel toed boots, They hand me police riot armor with a riot shield and gun. Hank looks at me and says, " I'll come and get you in the morning. Lock your doors and make sure to keep the windows closed. Board the windows and make sure to put your items and clothing away. See you tomorrow." I start to board the windows which takes a good 3 hours. its dark outside by the time I get the widows perfectly boarded up. I rush upstairs to the safest bedroom in the house and put my stuff up and set up a doorbell to ring in my room so I know when someone is there. I check the bed for anything dangerous and find nothing. The bed is huge. I check under the bed and find a box with ammo and i put that in the closet with my clothes but in my bag. I try to go to sleep as I slowly doze off in the pitch black room.
