Government Z (Book 1): The Beginning by Bryan D. Reid Page A

zombies headed for the gas station.  Bruce head outside first and as I was about to exit I heard a rumbling from the garage area.  I figured Bruce and Rus had the front covered so I went to investigate the noise I heard.  I entered the small two car garage and after making half way across the garage between the tools and cars I saw six zombies headed toward me.  I heard three shots from outside and knew that the outside was clear again.  I slowly started backing up and headed for the way I came in but was greeted by two more zombies blocking my way.  Shit I thought to myself only one way to go.  I ran for the front pitcher window and jumped threw it.  Rus and Bruce turned to the noise of the shattering glass and saw me rolling on the ground.  They ran over and asked what I was doing?  I said more company then we thought.  I got up and we all opened fire on the broken out window where all the zombies were trying to escape from now.  After we took out all the zombies we filled the semi back up with gas and headed for the train yard.  We arrived and parked the truck in one of the abandoned docks at one of the warehouse.  We got out and entered the warehouse.  Hey look guys finally a little luck for once.  We had docked at the wooden ties warehouse.  There were pallets and pallets tied and ready for shipping.  We loaded the truck with six pallets and headed back for camp.  We need to wait till the wall settles before we try hinging the doors to the wall Mike said.  So we decided to take the rest of the night off and relax for once.  Rus and I went to the trailer and unloaded the zombies into the pole barn.  The ladies started to prepare supper while Rus and I dissected the zombie bodies for another trip to town to feed the kids.  Let’s see how two lookouts work tonight Rus suggested.   Bruce and I will take the watch tonight Abby said.  Everyone ate supper and turned in.  In the morning we will see if we can finish the west and north walls by sundown tomorrow with everyone working on it Mike said.
    Morning seemed like it came early.  It had been six weeks since I had seen that mysterious white flash, but I kept my thoughts to myself and tried to be strong for the community we had started to make.  Rus and Christi packed up the cut up zombie bits and head for town to feed the children.  Christi gave me a big hug and long kiss before leaving.  I told her to be safe and call on the CB if they needed us.  I am going to take Bev and head out for more lumber and cages.  I talked with Bruce and I know what else he needs for the doors to open.  Rus can you stop at the hardware stores up there and get all four by fours you can find, some more plywood, a post digger, so we can build a catwalk I asked.  Yep Rus answered.  As Christi and Rus headed out Rus gave an oooooo woooooo yell out and headed down the road.  Bev and I departed shortly after they left. I left Mike in charge since he was leading the construction team.  Let’s get to work on these rooms Mike said. Let’s start unloading the other truck because it will take a little bit to unload all the shingles.  While they were unloading the shingles Mike found the industrial sized generator Bruce and Bryan had forgotten all about.  Ok Chris can you start working on installing that industrial generator and get some power to the house and we can use the power tools.   Within an hour Chris had full power back on the property. Everyone was doing a great job with teamwork to get everything done as quick and efficient as possible.  It was another easy trip for Rus in the city.  The children were all still secured.  They got feed the cut up zombie pieces afterward Rus and Christi made their way to the lumber store.  Come in Rus and Christi Chris called over the CB.  Go ahead Christi called back.  Can you find heavy duty spotlights, PVC pipes, and all the electrical equipment you can find Chris asked? No problem we are just arriving here now
