Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 Zombies

As I pulled down the bulletin at the top it said the word zombies, I can't believe it, those things are people? The first part had a picture of a zombie with white eyes and next to it was a paper that described it.

"The zombies with the white eyes are fast but not very smart, if encountered try to outmaneuver."

Next was a picture of one with yellow eyes, "Much stronger than the one with white eyes, can break through most obstacles."

Next up was one with orange eyes, "Strong enough to flip a car, stay away at all costs."

There were no pictures, the last part said, "For additional information please see the general's office.

There was nothing on the red eyed one, if an orange eyed one could flip a car, then what on earth could a red eyed one do? Possibly take down an entire tank. Maybe he is the one that took out this fort? I wanted to know what this zombie was capable of. I went outside the room and looked around.

I saw one room that said weapons, this would be a good place to get a gun or something in case those guys show up again, or if I have another encounter with a zombie. I opened the door and to my surprise there were no guns at all in there. Instead, it looked like it had been redone as a storage room, there was wood and a lot of glass, there was one piece that stood out. It looked like a dagger, but the blade was made of glass, and the handle was a smooth grip that was gold gilded.

I thought to myself though, wouldn't a glass blade break easy? Surely this is not a good weapon, I tried to break it with my fingers, but it was sturdy. Then I threw it where it wedged into the wall. Well, I guess it won't break on me after all. I grabbed the knife and pulled it out of the wall; there was a lot of glass inside the room. This must be why I can't find any out there.

I left the weapons building and started walking around trying to find the generals office, there were too many buildings, I started looking around when I noticed one of the buildings that said food hall. I walked to the food hall and the first thing I saw was a biscuit. I grabbed it and shoved it in my mouth, but to my surprise it was absolutely disgusting, I couldn't stand it. Maybe it expired or something, I still don't know how long it took since the zombie outbreak happened.

As I looked around I saw some steak, it looked to be in good condition which meant it shouldn't be expired, I picked it up and started looking around the food hall for a way to cook it, it didn't take long for me to find the grill, I set the steak on it and started grilling it, it smelled amazing as the smell entered his nostrils.

After I had finished making the steak I took the first bite and the sensation entering my mouth made this seem like a meal I would only have once in a lifetime. The taste of the steak was sensational, after the first bite I couldn't help but to pick up my steak and tear it apart with my mouth, I ate it so fast I almost choked on it, my hunger finally subsided.

I needed to find a way to bring those steaks with me, I left the food hall to look around again to see if I could find a bag. I started looking around again, I began to walk, as I did, I had a strange feeling, like something was watching me, I looked but I didn't see anything around looking at me, but I didn't see anything, however I did see the barracks section, that might have where the general is. I walked over and luckily there was a map, and on the map, it showed where the general was.

I followed the directions from the map, once I arrived the specific building looked bigger than the rest, with two grand doors that had gold doorknobs, I turned one and opened the door. Once I was inside, I realized I was not the first one here, a bunch of stuff was missing, it looked like it had recently been cleared out, as there were dust marks from where stuff was sitting.

I was hopefully maybe some documents were left behind, so I started looking around, I found the desk, what caught my attention first was a note on the desk.

The note read "What happened to Theodore? How many of those mutants exist?"

There was no way he was talking about me, I don't even know who the general is. I opened the drawers but each of them were empty. Whoever the general was he had already cleared out all the documents in the base, as I was looking through there was a sudden loud sound followed with a sharp pain in the back of my head, I think something fell and hit me. I felt the back of my head and it felt fine.

I looked around to see what had hit me, all I found was fifty cal bullet on the ground with a green tip that looked like it had been crushed, was this left behind sitting up somewhere? I looked up to see if I could see a shelf or something but there wasn't one, however there was a small half an inch hole in the wall, it likely just fell out of that from when the horde took over. I went rummaging through the general's area to see if I could find a bag.

As I was looking around, I found one in the kitchen area of his building, figures all the soldiers must eat in the food hall while he gets his own home cooked meals. After I took the bag, I decided to look through his fridge and freezer and see if I could find anything else to eat. I opened the fridge and saw a lot of good stuff; I took out a slice of cheese and opened it up. However as soon as I took a bite my mouth filled with the most putrid taste ever, like it had molded over for months, I wanted to throw up from how bad it tasted.

Or maybe I didn't just want to as I ended up throwing up from the awful taste, yet the taste that filled my mouth from throwing up was better. I took as much of what I could from the fridge before continuing. I continued looking around the general's area to see if I could find anything else.

When I entered the bathroom, I was met with the most startling and horrific sight I have ever seen.
