[Cheshire Fox]

((Anyone know where Copa went? I'm still waiting for the van to come back around...))

[Paladin58]

(You know, I grabbed you and leaped into the jeep. )

[some_weirdGuy]

((ok everyone, lets just say we are all in one car or another, nobody got left behind, and we are all making our way out of town

ok?))

Lancer, unaware and barely counsious due to all the blood oozing out of his skin like drops from a rain storm, went over to a small pack of guns, picked up a shotgun, and started to shoot the hordes of undead while still remaining counsious and aware of the conflict started to fire "damn i knew i shouldn't have sliced off that chunk!!!anyone got somethin for my leg!?"

[Fire Ze Missiles!]

Dean glanced down at the man next to him, who was blasting away with a shotgun somewhat pointlessly as the truck roared away down the road, with a grim expression of pain upon his face. It was then that he noticed the large, bloody wound in the man's leg.
"Whoa, shit!" he cried, jumping back. He cast around, and his eyes fortunately fell upon a convenient medi-pack. Grabbing it, he moved back over to the injured man and began to wrap some bandages.

John set the COM link to radio everyone else, "Alright, listen up. It's gonna be a long trip to the base, so get some sleep, count ammo, grab sometime to eat, whatever. If we need to pull over make sure you're watching yourself and everyone else. Those creatures may be attracted to the sound of the engines. Also, try to keep speed once we get on the highway. Hopefully there won't be many leftover vehicles and we'll get through. I'd like to keep about 60-80 mph. But if you can't keep up, radio us and we'll slow down." John then turned to the other's in his truck, "Alright, look for a highway onramp, I don't know the city that well."

(OCC: Btw, who's in what vehicle?")

((OOC: School has been absolutely slaughtering me the past two weeks, sorry bout the absence. I'm a VW Van by myself, maybe. Looking back, I think CF wanted to be in it with me. Also, gonna do a bit of godmod right now to catch up with the group... Somehow I found a radio and drove out of the building by magic while I was gone ))

The van had taken a beating getting out of the building - its once-green paint was now scraped off at the sides, replaced with a smattering of bloody viscera.

Ryn was driving around the city in said van, and had heard John's radio message. He was following their pickup truck, and not really paying attention to anything in particular, when he spotted a sign to a highway. He grabbed up his radio and told the group of his find. "We've got an offramp about three miles from here, I just caught the sign out of the corner of my eye. Look for the southbound ramp off to the right in about a minute and a half, northbound right after. Which way are we goin, big man?"


((YAY for trucker speek!!))

John spoke into the radio again, "We'll be heading NorthWest. About 20 miles up there should be a gas station, where we'll fill up, and maybe grab some more food. After that it's a long shot to the military base, though if anyone gets a radio message or sighting of a military vehicle, make sure to let everyone know." John looked to the right and saw the upcoming onramp and prepared to turn.

[Copaman]

((OOC: Oh, yeah, I remember this plan... we go to your military base and then my store and then noone knows!))

They all continued out of town, Kelvin had been listening to the others over the radio, but didn't have anything to add.
"Jeep, over and out." he called as they all continued along the road ways. The buildings began to thin out, and the infected finally stopped the pursuit...

Removing minor spolier...and grammaring ^^

[southsidediablo]

(OCC: It's not, it's atleast a two hour drive. Up in the country where there's less infected.)

[Fire Ze Missiles!]

As the sun began to set on the East Coast, the small convoy roared away across the freeway, Jeep in the lead and VW bringing up the rear. They were well out of the city now, heading about west-north-west. Carl looked out over the glorious countryside; now that they were out of the city, the world seemed empty, deserted. He leant out of the open window, and breathed in the fresh air. It was good to finally be away from the stench of death.
But he did not have long to marvel at the scenery: night was falling fast, and he soon became cold. Withdrawing from and closing the window, he leant back inside the truck, the euphoric effect of their escape finally beginning to wear off. He looked about at the tired, haggard people around him, and knew what had to be done.
Picking up the radio, he began to talk into it. "Guys, we need to pull over for the night. Turn off at the next exit, and we can bunker down for the night in some tree cover."
He watched as darkness fell, and headlights were put up. He watched as the left indicator on the Jeep flashed yellow, and it turned off down an exit ramp. He watched as the battered van behind him followed the F-150 down, and onto what soon became a country road. And he watched as the three cars pulled over in a small clearing at the edge of a wood, forming a tight defensive circle.
Darkman, who seemed to have become the leader of the group by unspoken consensus, moved round the survivors, checking wounds, distributing rations, keeping spirits up. Silva, who still seemed to be pumped up, Titus and Dean volunteered to take the first watch, a three hour shift, and Darkman, Carl and Kelvin gave themselves up for the second, the deepest hours of the night. They in turn were to wake John, Lenny and Lancer for the third and final shift.
Eventually, everyone settled in for the night inside one or other of the trucks and silence began to fall upon the group.
"Huh," someone muttered after a few minutes, "I wish we'd thought to get sleeping bags." In the darkness, Carl grinned, and fell quietly asleep.

[war_angel]

After not getting much killing in during the car ride, Silva volunteered (along with Titus and Dean) to take watch first,
Silva walked around the VW van with his 9mm pistol held in straight arms out in front of him, he had borrowed a pistol light off of one of the other guys, so all was clear to him,
"theres no way any of those fucking things is gunna get me, especially those sprinters, or whatever it is you call them!"

It had been an hour, by this time everyone except the 3 on gaurd were asleep, Silvas arms were now lowered, but he was still very aware of his surroundings, and would have no trouble double tapping any fucker that decided to try it!
As the night drew on the shotgun on his back began to become quite uncomfortable, he thought of putting it down, but he knew he'd regret it if anything happened, so he kept it redyed on his back.

Silva heard a noise behind him, he span around and raised his pistol, it was only one of the guys from earlier,wearing a green jacket,
"I'm just going for a slash," said the man and he trudged off half asleep.

All was uneventful, until it drew near the two hour mark.

"AARRRGGGHHHH!!!" a scream of pain came from in the bushes,
"There here!" shouted Silva as he began to run towards the scream, followed closely by the other 2 guys on gaurd,
he flicked on his light, and scanned the area with the barrel of his pistol, at this rate the other guy would have already been infected by now, and he'd have at least 2 things to kill,
he movement in the bush to his left, he span around, by this time everyone else behind him was making noise so he didn't hear it coming!
Suddenly it leaped out of nowhere, and pulled Silva tot he ground, Silva quickly put 2 rounds into its body and pushed it off, he pulled round his shotgun with one hand and delived a 12 gauge blast into its face, as he did so he couldn't help noticing the jacket it was wearing, green,
"thers another one out here somewhere,"
he holstered his pistol and pumped the shotgun again, amidst the comotion he didnt realise that another 4 guys were around him, scanning the area with various weapons.

"So much for a rest," he said out loud.

((OOC: i thought i'd ruin it for them!))

Infection takes a little while, they wouldn't turn that quickly

[Cheshire Fox]

Darkman woke up with a start. Had he heard something? A shotgun blast answered his question. He leapt to his feet, grabbing up his weapons. Everyone else seemed to have been awoken as well, and seemingly everyone had a gun in their hands. Darkman ran, keeping low towards the direction of the gunshot. He found Silva standing over a mangled corpse.

"There's at least one other out there." Silva muttered to him.

"No sense in going out looking for it. Let's just hold the line here. No one leaves the encampment. Wait - there's something in the bushes..." Darkman and others scanned their surroundings carefully.

"JESUS FUCKING CHR -" A man nearby went down screaming, a massive shape ontop of him, ripping him to pieces with massive teeth and claws. As it finished, it lumbered slowly towards it's next victim...

Darkman fired round after round into it. Bullets from all directions tore the monster to pieces, smashing his skull and blowing organs from it's body. It collapsed to the ground, thoroughly dead.

Darkman swore violently as he realized what it was. A bear. An infected bear.

"Of course, the bigger animals would be able to survive the infection. Just because dogs and squirrels and shit couldn't, doesn't mean these can't. Fuck, just what we needed, a crazed fucking moose attacking our cars. Well, the virus seems to have slowed them down as much as it does humans. Just hope to god we don't get a sprinter one of these..." Darkman reloaded his guns. "We'll have to increase the number of people on shift, if anyone can sleep right now. Darkman shot the corpse of the mostly devoured man through the head. "Gonna be a long night."

[some_weirdGuy]

((wow, the bear sure died easily, i would think a huge infected bear would last longer then that)

Kelvin was scaired, "infected people are bad enough, but if this is whats out there then damn this..." just as he said that a gargled howl came from out in the distance, followed by four more
"oh great! bears and wolves!!" he pulled his gun close, and his hamster even closer...

[southsidediablo]

John was just getting out of the truck to listen to the new guy complain."I wouldn't worry much about them. They sound far off in the hills. But I would bet the wolves won't be walking slowly," John took a second to take a drink from his canteen, "Ahh. They may be around in the morning, but till then, try to get some sleep. You're gonna need it if we run into something that'll really freak you out. I'll take watch for a few hours if you don't mind."

[Cheshire Fox]

((Easily? There were about 20 guys with rifles and shotguns pelting it with bullets...to have it not die would have been silly, especially as headshot = kill.))

[Paladin58]

Titus readied his shotgun, still worn out from the closing hour of escaping the city. As he did so, he heard rustling in the bushes. Lots of rustling.

(OOC: Just to keep the ball rolling. Someone GM me for a bit, not sure how much free time I'm gonna have during the week.)

[some_weirdGuy]

((i guess... but i still didn't expect us to run into a big bear that fast, and i though it was going to be a huge super powerful bears that half kills us all before we stop it... the battle just seemed to go to quick...

also, lol SSD, someone just got torn to shreds by a bear and your telling us not to worry, to go to sleep?

but anyway, lets keep going...))

"What the hell is that!" yelled Kelvin, he was getting very jumpy, he hadn't been this scared even when he was all alone in his home town, it must have been because he couldn't see ahead of him, it was dark, the only light came from the cars, and all that really seemed to do was cast shadows that looked like they were about to come to life and kill another person
"and What Do You Mean Sleep!! a Huge Fucking Bear Just Riped Someone To Shreds Before They Even Knew What Hit Them!!" Kelvin paused regaining some composure, temporarily at least
"sorry, i don't usually swear like that, I'm more a family man..." as he said that his hamster boo leaped from his pocket into the bushes " HOLY CRAP!! BOO!!!" he leaped after the rodent, landing in the bush "WHAT THE HELL BOO!!, YOU...." At that moment kelvin realized that all this screaming wasn't a good idea, all around him he heard noises, he could see in the background things moving, and they were coming closer...
