Mike's diary day 74 - This is war

* morning*
I woke up feeling exhausted Jack woke me up. He said that we gotta hurry to get back to the base before the maniac come back and kill both of us. I packed all of my equipment and rebandaged my wounds again.  The pain was unbearable but I have to make do. Jack cooked for breakfast, and while I wait, he went outside trying to scout for car could possibly be our right back to base. While he was out scouting for a car, I heard footsteps from the back of the house, I wasn't feeling well just yet, but I tried my best to grab my gun and checked what is up behind the house. When I opened the door there were two craze just wandering about trying to find some flesh to feast on. I quickly closed the door but one of them managed to held the door, and when they were about to come in, are here to gunshot and the craze we're down immediately. I looked outside the door and saw Jack in a pickup truck,  so I limped across the road with my bag on my back right into the trunk of the pickup truck.

*noon*
There was nothing much happening in the afternoon considering that we were only on the road for several hours without talking to each other.  I said thank you to Jack,  and his response was nothing.

* evening*
Jack and I arrived at base. I was escorted find it went right into the doctor's room to get checked up. Julie also went inside with me with her concerns look. I do not know where Jack when but I will try to find him right before dinner and talk about what he thought what's happening back in the suburbs.

* before dinner*
I found Jack in the armory room doing some tweaking to the silencers that he made. I asked him what he thought about that event, and when he was about to say something, we heard gunshot outside the base. At that moment, I thought to myself that the valors  are outside. Jack and I rushed outside and we saw Moses and Victor were already negotiating with 2 people. I walked towards them, and they said that they want Julie to come with them. I said no obviously, and I threatened them that there are enough of us to kill both of them, so right before the left of the said that there will be back tomorrow with a "present".

*night**
This is just great. Now everyone is busy doing their own stuff, and Jack does not remember what he was about to tell me. I immediately called for a meeting for us to do a vote whether we should fight and stay, or we run and leave them alone. The result was obvious that there are more people willing to defend the base. One more thing before we go to sleep, I said that it is better for us to attack to them earlier before they attack us because that way there will not be expecting us coming. Everyone agreed, and I will wake up tomorrow in the morning to plan out our offensive strategy. I really really hope that we will not lose another man. I hope everyone, especially Julie won't get hurt. God help me, HELP US!

Mike's Diary Day 66 - Oopps, WRONG WAY!

                  I couldn't sleep, so was Julie. I woke up 2 hours earlier and she. It was quite, and I was pretty sure the craze had given up trying to break the door open. I walked over and sat on the edge of the building, trying to get a clear view of possible escape routes, and there were many. The problem is that I don't know how to get down there, with Julie. I don't want to risk anything because our chances of surviving is low. I kept thinking, and I came up with a brilliant idea (50% chance of success). I woke Julie up and told her the plan, and she seemed like she had no trouble with it. "Better than being stuck here." She said. I took out a rope, not more than half a metre long, and I took my uzi out. I switched the magazine with my one and only extended mag, which loaded with 45 bullets (I didn't want to use it). I tied the rope from the trigger to the handle, turned the safety off, and threw it pretty far down to our left. Bullets start flying through the air, making such a magnificent noise pollution, and in the matter of seconds, all craze were running towards it.
                  "This is it" I said to Julie
                  "Let's do it." She responded.
I unblocked the door, opened it, and with only an axe in one hand, and a machete in the other, I rushed downstairs, while Julie followed. There were only several craze left in the building, which Julie and I took care of no problem. After we got out, Julie and I just kept on running towards the forest, we didn't stop one bit. I had a feeling that it will not only attract hordes, but only other survivors. I didn't want to encounter any, so Julie and I forced ourselves to run, even when our legs almost couldn't take it anymore. After we made sure that we were safe, we sat down for a minute or two. Julie was exhausted, and so was I. After we had enough resting time, we decided to continue our way back to base, but I didn't know in which part of the forest we were, so I decided to climb the tree and try to get an advantage point; however, we were getting nowhere. The view was blocked by other trees, which made it really hard for me to even see what's near our position.This is just great.
                    "Ha, we're lost" I said
                    "Good fucking job." She said
                    "Hey, I'm sorry that I had to make sure that we were safe, and get as far away from the city as possible." I said.
                    "Could do it without the sarcasm." She responded
Great, now what? I asked myself. I think our only way is to find our way back to the city and go back home from there. There's nothing to worry about now at least because the place is quite, so that we can listen to any movements or noise made by animals, craze, or people. However; I only have my handgun and a molotov left, so I don't know how we're going to fight back in a firefight. I hoped down from the tree, and checked our loots.
                     "Hey, we made a good run in only 2 days " I said
                     "What do we got?"
                     "Medicine, med-kits, canned food, water, matches, ropes, sweaters, t-shirts, books, and toys."
                     "Yeah, ain't we make a good team?" She said
                     "Sure. I guess."
                     "Awhhh C'moonnn. You should stop being so serious." She said
I opened 2 canned food and handed one to her, best one we had in a while, considering we didn't eat yesterday. I finished the canned food in less than 5 minutes, and so did she. We wanted another one, but I told Julie and myself that we should reserve that for later, and that we should start budgeting what we gather, and what we use. The evening approaches softly, Julie and I decided to get to the top of the tree to sleep in one of the branches, and tied ourselves to the trunk. Julie climbed up to the branch above me, and is staring right now at things, while I'm doing this. Yeah, we will try to find a way back to the city from here tomorrow, and hope that we will have a ride that we can use to get back to base. Our backpacks are getting heavy with loots, and a carrier wouldn't hurt.

Mike's diary Day 65 - Two Fuckers, We're Being Watched.

          I woke up beside Julie this morning, I saw her yawned
          "Good morning." She said. I smiled and looked at her 'hand'.
          "Do you wanna anything on that?" I asked.
          "Yes, anything would be good."
          "Knife?"
          "Sure"
          "Okay, we will get you patched up once we get back to base." I said to her.

I got up and checked the surroundings, while Julie was looting for some supplies. That morning was very sunny, breezy, all I could see UT the window was a torn flag waving in mid air, unfinished construction buildings, and some craze. Once Julie was done, I told her that we are going to a hospital near by to loot some medicine and other important stuff that we might be able to take.

            I walked outside with my iron sight aimed down, I checked if the coast is clear, and I signaled Julie to follow right behind me. We turned left back to the ally way, proceeded our way through, and turned left on the second house. The road was empty so I decided to me a run across. We did, I could see the hospital building clear from where we were at, and I couldn't wait to see what's inside. For another 35 minutes walk, we arrived on our destination. We went inside, not too many craze so far, so Julie and I handled it though sweat. We started looting the stuff, first aid kit, alcohol, bandage, painkillers, and many more. I then proceeded my way to the emergency room, and I opened the door, I was greeted by two guys. Yup, they're all dead now. I talked my way out.
             "Remember us?" One of them said
             "Nope, not a bit."
             "You destroyed our base."
             "Oh, the Valors?" I asked while taking few glances behind them.
             "Where is the girl?" The other asked
             "Or we'll kill you."
             "Oh you mean that one?" I gestured with my head to look back when Julie stabbed the guy repeatedly in the neck. I took my gun and fired at the other before he could slash Julie's other hand off. Once the gun fire went off, all I could hear was craze's scream and footsteps.
              "C'mon we gotta run." I said.
We ran away from the kitchen, trying to get out of the hospital, but we were blocked by a horde. We decided to find another way, but with no luck, we found dead ends. Our last hope was upstairs. I led the way, I pushed our way up and slashed some heads off along the way. We were terrified, I almost peed in my pants. We found a  door, I breached it open, waited for Julie to come, and closed it. I held the door with all my strength from the craze who were trying to get a piece of us. I quickly told Julie to find a metal to use the door. After a struggle, she found it, but it wasn't strong enough, so I decided to jam the door with anything we could find. We found chairs, sofas, and tables. Great, we're stuck now. Julie was breathing heavily, but was still able to throw out a smile or two. The sky is turning orange, it's getting dark, and we're stuck on the roof. Julie and I have to think of something tomorrow if we still wanna live for another day. In the other hand, I am worry that the other back at base are looking for us (well obviously). I hope everyone is still in one piece by the time we got back, especially Jack. One more thing, I hope the valors don't find their way to our base before we got back. They probably did, if they didn't, how the fuck did they know we were going to the hospital? Even more odd when they said
                  "Remember us?"

As if they were expecting our presence in the building. I am pretty sure, everyone (even the ones in our base) is being watched. Is it possible that they have an inside men, or women? I'm going to stop writing right here because Julie is telling me to eat.

Day 22, July 19th 2013 - New Strategy

We decided to go the next morning, I got my shit ready, so were Lexi and Victor. We were in foot for the whole day, good thing is we didn't have to stop for foods or weapons since we have plenty. We only walked for 5-10 minutes on the road then Victor lead us down the sewers. It smelt bad and there were shitload of craze. We walked and walked and walked, then we saw a cutter. I didn't have any molotovs left and that was the only way to get to the rebels. So we made a strategy. One distracts and the others attack it's head with sharp weapons and so on, we back up every 2 stabs landed. I was first up, I ran infront of the cutter and the others waited, then ZAP, ZAP. Two stabs by Lexi and Victor. We ran and hid behind a wall, this time is Lexi's turn. "Be fucking careful." I said, "Don't worry old man." She respoded. She ran towards it and Victor and I waited, then ZAPS. We took it down, well it wasn't that hard after all.we continued our journey but then the way was blocked by these huge rocks. I boosted Lexi up and told her to get something for Victor and I to get up. She got a rope, so I told her to attach it to something heavy so we could climb the wall. And we did. Now we gotta walk for another 4-5 hours or so to get to the rebels. Ya.. Crazy eh? We stopped several times but this time we stopped for goods. Everyone's tired and now is the perfect time to get some rest.
