Tales of Survival (mostly)

After a successful sweep of a small hill top village and drinking his fill at the well, this lone survivor was anxious to see what the large city down the hill had to offer.  Armed with only a harmless .22 sporter rifle and an unwieldy pickaxe that he was still getting used to, he set off cautiously.  Concealed under a pine close to the outskirts of the city he spotted the familiar look of a police station down the main road.  Surely there would be some better weapons to be had there.  He crouched low and made his way into the city, avoiding the direct approach he entered the courtyard behind the police station and near a broken down truck spotted a backpack much larger than his current one.  Not knowing what bounty the police station may hold he decided to swap bags to ensure he had enough room for whatever he may come across.  While transferring his goods to the new pack a voice called out from the building "Hey you!  Are you friendly?".  Despite his efforts at concealment he had been spotted.  "I'm not looking to hurt anyone, but I'm coming inside" he replied.  Through the door he was greeted by a man brandishing a stylish M4. "What's your name" the man asked.  The two exchanged introductions, the man's name was "A".  A was very helpful and trusting, pointing out where a nice rifle was located and even providing a small stack of ammo for it.  Quickly sweeping the rest of the building he thanked A for his hospitality and was eager to get back to the safety of the woods.  While running out of the city he glanced behind only to find A following.  "Hey want to team up?"  A asked.  "Sounds good but not here man, lets get up to the tree line" he replied.  Once the two were safely outside the city they attempted to catch their breath and get their bearings so they could locate their position on the map found inside the police station.  Unable to find a reference point the two discussed what to do next but were interupted by a crazed Zombie bursting through the trees.  "BEHIND YOU!" he shouted to A as he readied his pickaxe.  A leaped for cover while blows from the pickaxe rained down on the Zombie, the sloped terrain made a headshot difficult but finally he was able to connect and the Zombie slumped over like a marionette with it's strings cut.  The melee left him with a gushing wound that he was forced to bandage before the two continued on, deciding to make their way up the nearby road and look for signs to guide them further inland.  Eventually they spotted a radio tower on top a tall peak and thought it would be a good vantage point for the surrounding area.  The tower yielded little in the way of information but off in the distance they spotted a large air base which begged to be investigated further.

 

The two men leap frogged between concealment closer and closer to the base, watching for movement and finding access through a hole in the worn out fencing, eventually making their way to a building near the hangers.  Opening the doors to the building they were quickly greeted by the body of another survivor, his gear badly damaged with little worth salvaging.  Further in another body was discovered, this one stripped to his undergarments.  Clearing the rest of the rooms he slowly made his way up the stairs, his new SKS at the ready.  As he ascended, he spotted the head of crouching man over the railing.  In the moment it took to contemplate that this could be the killer of the two men below, a shot rang out!  He rapidly returned fire, emptying his magazine up the stairwell as he retreated back towards the door.  A was caught off guard as the killer stormed down the stairs but was able to make it out of the building.  He ran to cover as fast as he could to reload and he could hear his new friend and the killer exchanging gun fire.  He peared around the corner trying to find his friend or the killer but saw no one, adrenaline coursing through his veins and almost out of ammo he made a dash for the tree line, hoping his friend would do the same.  He waited in vain as his friend never arrived.  Taking shelter in a nearby cottage he was thankful to have survived the encounter but saddened that he was once again on his own.
