As soon as I wake up, I sat on the the ledge of the bed and started examining my wounds all over my body. My left arm was aching all over and there was a clear hand mark on where I was grabbed, It was purplish red and it hurts when I try to move my arm, but it was manageable..
"Better than a broken arm, I guess.."
I was lucky, because in my perspective that thing could easily snap a 2x2 inch wood with its ridiculous strength, therefore I believe that my muscles played a decent role on preventing the worse possible outcome. Moving on I touched my back on where the glass pierced my skin, I counted earlier this morning that three pieces of glass fragments were embedded in my back, but it wasn't that deep since my T-shirt most likely prevented it from digging deeper when I rolled. It still hurts though but I've already treated it with some disinfectant and applied some bandages, preventing further complications, I also have few cuts and bruises from the intense struggle but it wasn't anything major so I should be fine.
Satisfied that there won't be any long term effect as long as I rest well enough, I made an inventory list on my current supplies:
FOOD and BEVERAGES
2 packs of Cream-O vanilla flavor
1 pack of Hansel biscuit
1 Piatos pizza flavor
10 Pancit Canton Calamansi flavor
3 cups of instant noodles Seafood flavor
7 kilos of rice (approx)
3 - 1L Soda
5 - 10L of purified water
2 kilos of frozen chicken meat
MEDICAL SUPPLIES
2 rolls of bandages
5 4x4 inch bandages
1 medical scissors
1 500ml bottle of disinfectant
1 bottle of 325mg aspirins
WEAPONS
A 9mm Semi-Automatic Pistol w/ holster
2 Magazines for 9mm pistols
24 - 9mm bullets
A meter long machete
Regarding my melee weapons, I have a lot of them, since after my father retired as a Seaman, he started working at a constructions firm, and he bought a lot of things for his new job which I can consider as weapons, but I much likely prefer the machete since not only does it have a cover, I'll really look like someone who traversed the apocalyptic world. Well jokes aside its much more practical because not only does it cut things but I could also use it as a blunt weapon when the blade starts to chip, since neither do I have a whetstone nor any knowledge on how to use one.
"Well I guess I'll just have to use the internet when the time comes.."
Speaking about the internet, I was wondering if its happening everywhere since this not some horror novel or movie, it might be possible that this event is only occurring in my area, also I still have no information on how all of this happened, I can only think of things like it might be from a mutated animal like rabies. Or it might be from some experimental facility here in Cavite, since I heard from the news a year ago that they'll be building a new pharmaceutical facility dedicated in improving medicines, sounds a lot familiar right?
"There's only one way to find out.."
I logged in and went to google and typed, "current news around the world"
STATE OF ALERT IN EVERY COUNTRY!...
IS IT THE END OF THE WORLD?...
BEWARE OF WALKING CORPSES!..
GOD IS PUNISHING US!..
OVER A THOUSAND PEOPLE DEAD IN THE STATE OF..
As I continue to scroll down, I concluded that it's happening everywhere in the world..
"But how did it spread so quickly.."
I'm guessing that it was a deliberate attack and was release at every country at the same time, since if only one country or state is infected, it could be handled accordingly. And the timeline of the news are all interconnected with one another, further supporting my theory.
I pondered a bit more while scrolling down and checking each article, when suddenly I receive a Discord call from my friend Jackson..
"Jack! Are you alright there?! What happened after our call?!"
"I.. I'm not do... doing too well, I'm holed up.. in my room.. they're behind.. my door.."
"I'll go there immediately, just stay there!"
"No.. no.. no.. You don't understand, once you're bitten.. it's all over.."
I notice that he was holding his right arm below the elbow, I'm guessing that's where he was bitten..
"We don't know that yet, this is not some kind of fucking horror movie, that's all bullshi--"
"I KNOW WHAT I SAW EICH!! WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK ARE THE ONES BANGING AT MY DOOR?! TAKE A WILD GUESS!"
"I.. I.. don't kn--"
"My.. mom.. my dad.. and.. and my li.. little.. sis..ter.."
I actually didn't know what to say, and I thought that saying anything more will be just insensitive, I can't tell him that I know how he feels since I've also lost both of my parents, but I know there is a big difference of losing your loved ones to sickness, over monsters, eating them and turning them into one.
We were both quiet for a minute, realizing that this silence can't continue any further. I was about to say I'm sorry but he pulled a fast one on me..
"I won't.. probably.. make it.. I.. I can feel it.."
"Don't say shit like that, we can probably amputate your arm, it might not work but at least there's a chance"
"N-n-n-no.. I c-c-can.. f-f-feel.. it-t-t.."
"STAY PUT I'll BE THERE RIGHT NOW!"
I got off my seat and looked for my backpack, a few seconds later I heard a gunshot. Understanding what it was, I limply go back to my seat and closed the discord channel.
"Rest in peace, Jackson C. Mendoza, rest in peace.."
After mumbling it to myself, I went downstairs to get something to eat, I opened two cups of instant noodles seafood flavor. Then after pouring hot water in it I sat down and place one in front of me and one at the opposite side of the table, then I proceed to eat quietly..
