“Need cover?” Kaley asked.
“I’m not cold.” I replied as she kicked me.
“I’m joking! I’m joking! Yeah, we could use that truck and taking it would let us bring more supplies back home. I’m also wondering what kind of supplies they have inside it.” I said.
“What if they have more people and they discovered the truck?” Matthew said, worried.
“We show them the proof we didn’t kill them and react accordingly. It sounds bad but that truck is free for the taking. You must be a fool to let that truck pass up.” I replied.
I let Lois and Jared drive the drones while Kaley gives me cover. The others went back to what they were doing as I headed down. I saw the guys with the pushcarts with different kinds of boxes of food. Some of the foods in the produce section which are fresh before are starting to grow yellow or mold so they didn’t take them besides a few root crops starting to bud some leaves.
“Prepare more boxes since we will be taking a huge truck. I’ll drive it over here and check its contents first before we place anything on it.” I told Mark and the rest.
“Want some backup dude?” Kris chimed.
“Seriously?” I tried to annoy him.
He shook his head in amus.e.m.e.nt and said, “F.u.c.k you dude! Who would’ve known you’d change so much!”
“Hah! If I didn’t, I would be a simple guy writing and reading novels daily! Just keep watch on the guys hauling the boxes.” I replied.
I made my way towards the road but instead of just using my katana, I also pulled out one of my pistols just to be safe in case something happens unexpectedly. I even started to note a few places I could easily climb or haul ass if it gets tight.
One bloody figure popped up in the vicinity and I made a diagonal slash from below to remove part of its head starting from the jaw, toward its ear. A few approached me but they suffered the same fate as the parts that went missing after a sharp edge approached them just slowly fell off as their bodies hit the ground. It’s like a lid of a jar popping off after you accidentally dropped it.
I’m keeping my eye on the People’s Park as I slowly approached the truck and the big bikes that has fallen down.
*bzzt*
“Why are you checking their bikes now bro?!”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“Seriously?”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“Hoarder.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“Hypocrite.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“Shit.”
*bzzt*
Jared stopped talking on the radio while I checked the bikes first. They are simple motorcycles but there are satchels at the back of them and I checked each bag first.
“Weed, weed, weed, weed, the f.u.c.k?! Why are the most of the items here weed?! Well, I do have some use for them. Nice, a couple magazines though the guns might be in their person. I’m not going to that place though; I know what I’ll end up in.” I thought to myself.
Aside from a couple bags of Marijuana, I also found a few bottles of painkillers, bandages, snacks, cigarettes and a couple of radios. However, the keys are not in the ignition on the bikes so I made my way towards the truck.
The door is actually open and when I did, the body inside almost fell towards me but I dodged it in time. I checked his body first and I found his gun and a couple of loose ammo in his pockets. A set of keys are located under the wheel and the ignition has a couple of violent scratches on the outer rim probably due to the rush he made on trying to place the key on it.
“He must’ve panicked and broke down internally.” I thought to myself.
I tried the key and I managed to start the truck. I made a glance towards the other side of the road and they seemed to not do anything, yet. I could feel my sweat running down my face as I quickly maneuvered the truck towards where our vehicles are located. I backed up first while still holding my pistol. It was deathly quiet even if the engine of the truck is loud.
The zombies at the back of the truck that are still alive and too far to get killed by me are either sniped from above or just slowly pushed back to the side since I could hear them tapping on the side of this truck though they would fall down after I passed them because Lois or Kaley would fire a shot since there would be nothing behind the figures after I pass them and the angle allows it.
I could feel the beat of my heart going faster but each deep breath I take make it normalize for a bit but the tension is still high. It only went back to normal after I backed up the truck in its perfect location. I made a slow exhale as I went down and approached the people below.
“We definitely could bring a lot more back home. You okay?” My uncle asked.
“Whew! There’s definitely sweat going through my butt crack. It’s like finding a thousand missed calls on your phone.” I replied.
“Too graphic dude.” Kris was shaking his head while the others were laughing hysterically.
I turned around and went for the handle on the back of the truck. I turned it on the other side as the doors finally opened.
It has several boxes and a couple of fairly obvious things inside though there is a huge freezer on the innermost side.
“If there is anyone inside, come out now since I’ll be firing a shot inside.” I coldly said.
There seems to be no one inside but I could hear a muffled sound. I held a flashlight with one hand and the Maxim on one. The Maxim has already had one under it but I wanted more visibility in other places I’m not shining my gun into as well. Kris was on my back and he has his gun out as well.
There were a couple of sleeping bags inside and there are also several clothes in some of the bags and lots and lots of food.
“Could they be living inside this truck?” Kris asked.
“I think so too. Never found some sort of ID on the guy inside but looking at the interior of this truck kinda confirms it.” I replied.
We made our way inside and we finally get to the freezer.
I knocked on it a few times but nothing seems to answer. I slowly opened it to peek inside but I immediately gagged. Kris ran outside and projectile vomited on the floor as he made wheezing noises. The smell was so bad and I surmised there is something inside this thing that has gone really bad.
“What the f.u.c.k is inside that dude?!” Kris bellowed as he wiped his mouth.
I told everyone to remove the boxes from this truck first and then we pulled the freezer out. We didn’t even do it carefully as we pushed it on the side of the wall. I drew my gun just in case as I opened the lid.
I was already covering my mouth and nose as the rest has curious expressions.
Almost everyone grimaces when they saw what’s inside the freezer.
*clack* *clack*
*clack*
*clack* *clack* *clack*
*clack*
*clack*
*clack* *clack*
*clack*
*clack* *clack* *clack* *clack*
The freezer was filled to the brim with different severed heads and all of them are moving their mouths. What’s left of their teeth made the clacking noises as their teeth collided with each other. Some of them has no teeth left but it was still moving its jaw up and down though it just made sloshing sounds.
“This is f.u.c.k.i.e.d up dude. Why the f.u.c.k are they keeping these heads?” Kris exclaimed.
“Yeah, I have one at home though.” I replied.
“WHAT?!” he exclaimed.
“Yeah, I forgot to tell you guys about that. I thought a few people in the compound would have already told you guys. It’s…” I told him the rest of the story.
“So, it’s the special case from the news yesterday. But the ones here are all normal ones. They don’t seem to lock into us or anything.” he replied.
Under the lid were several bloodstains and this thing just looked like a f.u.c.k.i.e.d up trophy case for zombies. I decided to kill each one of them by poking each one in the head with my katana like sweet dumplings and kicking them off to kill a few more still inside.
There’s about several dozen heads inside and they all made a pile after we’re done with them.
“The f.u.c.k are these people up to?” I asked myself.
