The Dead World/Issue 105

Concentrating on his driving, Will made sure he handled the construction with care as he could begin to see the massive zombie herd in the distance as well as their target the hospital which was surrounded by a load of walls. Will knew this was going to be risky but they had no choice.

They needed them supplies....

Knocking on the back of the cabin, Will used that to tell Ricky and Jamie who were in the back to get ready before Will gripped the steering wheel harder as he muttered one last "good luck" to himself just as the truck began smashing through the huge herd of zombies, heading straight towards the hospital walls.

"come on you son of a bitch, give me a break just this once" Will said as he pratically gave it his all to smash through the zombie herd which fortuantly didnt stand a chance to the "big ass truck" as Anthony had called it. However Will feared that the further they got into the herd the thicker it would get, and the more harder to push through.

Meanwhile in the back, Jamie and Ricky used their pistols to shoot some of the zombies to thin their numbers, although they didnt fire to many bullets as they didnt want to use all their ammo before they even reached the hospital, they had no idea what was behind those walls.

However Jamie wasn't even hitting much causing the kid to feel bad and doubt himself but Ricky kept on telling him he was doing fine, it was his first supply run after all, you had to give the kid a break it isn't like he's ex - military like Will.

"s-shit, d-damn, f-fuck....maybe I-I shouldnt have came o-on this run" Jamie admitted after his load of curses which despite the situation made Ricky chuckle and Jamie glare at him in response.

"w-whats so f-funny?" Jamie asked while Ricky just shook his head still laughing a bit as he shot at a few more zombies before putting away his gun deciding not to use any more ammo while Jamie did the same.

"just didnt think you actually swore was all" Ricky commented with a smirk on his face causing Jamie to sigh in annoyance as he put his head in his hands, trying to block out all the groans from the zombies and the bumps of the bodies hitting the truck as Will drove it.

"I-I can swear" Jamie told him while Ricky just chuckled again and patted the kid's back before noticing that the truck was nearly at the wall before he pointed it out to Jamie and the two of them ducked behind the cabin just in case the impact was bad, hoping they had planned this right.

Seeing as the truck was about to finally reach the wall, Will closed his eyes and prepared himself for the impact just as it happened, jolting Will a bit and caused him to hit his head hard on the the seat he was sitting on but he just ignored that as he picked up his crossbow and quickly slipped out of the driver's door window.

"move it now!!" Will ordered Jamie and Ricky who quickly complied and walked along the truck's roof before jumping over the wall, landing a bit hard on the ground but their injuries wasnt that bad, the coast also looked very clear of zombies.

Meanwhile  Will himself barely made it out of the driver's window and onto the roof before the zombies came and tried to reach up to get him but he just shrugged it off and strapped the crossbow to his back before crossing the small space on the roof and getting onto the wall, being more careful than the other two getting over due to his leg.

"well...t-that went w-well" Jamie commented causing Will and Ricky to give him the look which said great, now things are going to go wrong because you said that before they started to move towards the hospital itself, getting their weapons ready just in case.

"just be on guard, we know the plan. Get in find the medicine storage, pick up what we can along the way and then take a quick trip to the locker rooms before we leave, got it?" Will asked as they reached the front doors and both Jamie and Ricky nodded.

Getting their confirmation, Will got Jamie to hold his crossbow as he got his crowbar which he had borrowed from Karen off his back before using it to open the doors enough so they could burst it which actually worked before he put the crowbar back in its place and got his crossbow and kicked open the doors to find a load of people to greet them.

All of them already dead with recent gun shot wounds in their heads....

Standing at the what was entrance to their now ruined camp, Karen sighed as she looked down the road waiting for their three group members to come back despite knowing they wouldn't be back for a couple of hours yet.

"worried about them?" Bella asked correctly as she came to join Karen standing at what was left of the entrance while Karen just nodded silently as she let out a sigh and pulled her jacket closer around her. Despite all they had been through it was still cold....

"yeh I know its silly because they can handle themselves but....there's so few of us now and I don't want our group to become any smaller, you know?" Karen asked and Bella nodded knowing exactly what Karen meant, she was still expecting to see a load of residents about camp sometimes.

"well hopefully there's more people at Charleston" Bella said hoping to get a smile on Karen's face but it didn't work which made Bella sigh as she bowed her head to look at the ground unsure of what to say now.

"its ok, you don't need to say anything, I know your trying to be supportive but I ain't the kind of person who wants that, ok?" Karen said as if reading Bella's mind, however just as Bella began walking away Karen caused her name causing her to turn around and look back to Karen.

"hey Bella, have you ever had a bad dream which you've felt is really real or you even feel like it might happen?" Karen asked and turning around Bella was about to make a joke but seeing an actual worried look on Karen's face made Bella push back her joke as she walked back over to Karen worried herself.

"what's the matter Karen?" Bella asked but Karen just shook her head and scoffed at how silly she was currently being just to put on the tough girl act. However deep inside she had actually worked herself up into quite a worried state....

"its nothing....just a stupid nightmare" Karen muttered trying to convince herself more than anything as she walked off leaving Bella to watch her go with a even more worried expression before sighing and looking down to the floor again.

Bella really didn't like the way things were going. Not only had they lost their camp and nearly all of their friends. Not only did they have to rely on a pipe dream of some safe zone in Charleston but everything was seeming to tear them apart from the inside.

And she knew if they all continued on like this none of them would even make it to see if the safe zone in Charleston was actually real or not....
