Here I am, sitting around in some damn fog waiting for this shit to blow over. Damn it’s been a day, and then I get this garbage dropped on me. Well, best to start from where I left off, God knows I’ve got plenty of time to kill. So, after a short rest near that collapsed tunnel, I took the truck and drove back into that small town. Figured I’d look for more supplies, medical supplies mostly and see if I can find some kind of pocketknife or kitchen knife. No such luck, but I saw the most peculiar thing, a burning one of those fuckers. Shot at him and he exploded. Damn glad I didn’t try to engage him with that pitchfork. Guess I’ll keep that in mind if I see any similar freaks like that. With not much to be found outside of some more food supplies, I went onward down the road to whatever I would find. At least I have Roger to keep me company in these trying times, certainly better company than any of these macacos could ever be.
And find something I did. Came to some kind of larger city, though it wouldn’t be so easy getting in. Saw a police barricade out front… thankfully no local cops though, living ones at least. Blew one of the bastard’s head off with a shotgun, he also had a damn gun still in the holster on his belt, very useful. With my new firearm and some bullets I found, I began searching the town. Man this place had a lot of useful stuff, but was rather large. First I went to some café and found a knife behind the counter. Finally, something those damn monkeys didn’t steal to weaponize against each other or the undead, it was a bit dull though. Went to search a smaller clinic next, found some painkillers and some sleeping pills, useful for later, though I swore these things off a long time ago, I won’t hit rock bottom again if I can help it. Then raided the police precinct, nothing but corpses and even stranger walking corpses. One of the damn cops turned near-invisible and tried to dart around me. Another tried to spit some garbage at me. Took care of them both but it was awful and got hit pretty hard. Nothing some painkillers couldn’t fix though. I also found a helicopter, though it seemed to have no fuel. Had half a mind to take it and fly off, but I don’t know how to fly a helicopter for one, and for two I wouldn’t know where to go or which way to fly, and no guarantee I could take enough to last out there in such a thing. Might come back there later though, it’s a useful thing.
Kept up my searching and ran across a fast food place… big J’s or something? I saw a zombie making damn burgers in there, not even a joke. Maybe they keep some muscle memory from when they were alive? It makes no difference to me though, maybe even makes it even better for how awful it was to deal with these subhumans while alive. Not a half bad burger either. Eventually came across a museum too, seems people took shelter here and got overrun, the main generator was fried but found a portable generator and took it back to the truck. Sun was starting to go down, but got a great view of the bay with a wrecked ship out there. Might investigate it at a later day. With how late it was getting, I figured it was time to travel through and out of the town, and that’s when shit hit the fan. The fog came.
As night fell, a chilling fog rolled in. If I wasn’t in a damn horror movie already, I was sure in one now. The undead I could see gained strange red eyes, piercing through the fog. They also became much more restless. I sped through town, not keen to stick around amidst the louder groans and wails I kept hearing. Truly awful stuff, makes me worried what exactly this phenomenon is. I’m sure it will pass with time though, but here I am waiting a good ways down the road, hoping this weather passes soon. I’m sure it will, but I don’t want to tangle with those walking corpses when they’re like that. Maybe that’s what took out those people holing up in the museum? Who knows? I’m certainly not sticking around to find out. With this time to kill I set up the portable generator properly, anchored it to the truck so it won’t slide around in the bed, guess I can use it as a spare gas tank for now. Hope this fog clears up soon. If it takes too long I’ll just get some damned sleep.
