Chapter 6
910 Words
"Okay first things first, how the hell did you do all of this before the dead could find you?"
"Okay, Okay I'll tell you... You see obviously my brother started this whole thing, and me and my brother were really tight, or used to be. But anyways, he told me one day that one of his workers got sick and they ate one of his coworkers and they had to quarantine the part of the compound where the virus took hold of the people so future infections weren't possible but as you probably know someone didn't know they were infected and they went home and spread it to their family and friends and eventually the whole USA."
"Damn but how did you afford all of the materials to make the wall and gate? And wait you knew that your brother was behind all of this."
"Yes I knew but only because he called me and told me to get to safety and I figured it was something bad so I gathered all my family and friends and friends of friends as soon as I could. And oh I guess I didn't cover that now did I?, I work for a construction company and i got all my coworkers to agree that we needed a wall. So they helped me make but the catch is that they and their families had to stay hear as well, and obviously i said yes so now we have 45 people living here,and we have 16 farms and 5 green houses to start the seeds in, or for plants that like humidity more."
"Wow you've thought of everything, haven't you?"
"Yeah we even have a zombie moat, but the moat is covered by a loose net and had dirt over it so it looks like normal ground."
"Wow, that's so cool!"
"So tell me about this cure. Is it real, did my brother actually make a cure for something he started? And if so we need it, my mother and grand mother are very sick... they were bit but they aren't turning. We think that they are some of the legendary immunies but their immunity isn't saving them from infections from the dirty bite... they need the cure plus a miracle because they are declining fast.Do ya have any medical supplies like first aid stuff and pain killers?"
"Yes we do we have just about everything you'll need but we need to get guaranteed to stay here... we can go on raids and scavenging trips if you'd like.
"Yeah We'd love that, but we don't know you very well. Everyone we have here we either know personally, grew up with, or is family related."
"There's nothing to fear...we just wanted to find a sanctuary to be part of so we can live a long happy life."
"Yeah I know but as we created this fort as we call it, we made some rules to keep us safe."
#1 Kill anyone on site trying to get in the fort
#2 If they just need a safe place to stay, hold a meeting so everyone's on board on letting them in.
#3 Never accept anything from a stranger even if it is food/seeds.
#4 If someone commits a crime that involves someone dying inside of the fort...the'll have 2 options and 2 weeks to consider them either be executed or go outside the walls and fend for yourself.
#5 Never leave the fort unless you have been granted permission to or are going on a raid.
"Wow okay those are a little strict now don't you think?"
"No not really being how all that's going on in the world, we could be either dead or being someones experiment, no offence but like you guys."
"Yeah none taken but when can we see if we could stay...we don't have to stay long, just until we could gain back our energy and get some supplies."
"Yeah okay, we have plenty of supplies anyways so take what ya need."
"Really!!! I don't wanna be rude or anything but we need it if we are going to settle down somewhere.
"Yeah but the bad thing is that i don't think we could afford to take in extra people, we already have too many mouths to feed."
"Oh okay we get it, but in meaning supplies, do ya have guns, because we need some in order to survive out there?"
"Yeah we have guns...guns galore we even have silencers so you don't attract any unwanted attention."
"Oh really!!! We really would love some silencers. How many do ya got. We really don't wanna take too much from ya."
"Oh don't worry... look at all of our supplies."
Exactly when he said that he pulled open some door to a supply room and it is so jammed packed that it is almost full to the top. And almost falling over.
"Oh okay then, how much can we take so we could be on our way?"
"Take as much as you want, we have plenty don't feel ashamed that you have to take from us, we can always make more, plus you'll need ammunition and a vehicle of some sort and we happen to have two extra jeeps. Take one when you are done. I'm assuming you know how to drive right?
"Yeah most of us do, before all of this happened we were in high school 11th grade."
"Okay good, now get packing."
