Made by Comon Sense

this is not chapter two left i just can't upload the content of chapter 1

Chris- "Hey guys I know its been pretty rough these past few days and I think we should go somewhere that could be safe." I glanced at Dick and he nodded "we received a message from some people up north saying they have a fortress built and if we can get there we can stay for a while and they will help us out, I believe that this is something we should do to "freshen up" before we head to the coast."
Fred-"that’s a good idea, however where is this fortress."
Dick-"Aye it’s a ferry ride from a town a bit north up here, you see there’s a lake that we can use for transportation, my plan is for me and a couple other people to go and secure the ship and then we meet up later at a different point."
Sam-"can we trust them?"
Chris-"I was thinking about that, we might walk into a trap if we tell them we are coming, so I think that we should set up a meeting with them."
Fred-"so where would the "meeting take place?"
Chris-"I was thinking around a remote area in the city" (points at a parking lot) "right here, we can secure the buildings near by and ask them to send some people to get us, it is closer to where the ferry lands so we can get out of there quickly if needed."
Olga-"Good idea, however if they know we are there beforehand, we would be sitting ducks."
Chris-"that’s why I will go with anyone wants to help out now who wants to?"
Everyone raised their hand
-sigh-
"Okay well everyone get ready we leave in 20 minutes." I zipped up my tactical vest and loaded my M1 carbine, taking my sig saur apart and putting it back together and loading it. I grabbed my stuff and started to take inventory of what we had, nail guns, around 2000 rounds of extra M16 ammunition, 1000 rounds of .45cal, 2000 rounds of 9mm, 10000 rounds of .50cal in belts, nail strips, a chainsaw, 2 barrels of and 500 gallons of gas, a fire axe, assortment of knives ( I grabbed a survival knife and strapped it to my thigh), 4 crowbars, flares, some tents, around 150 yard of rope, 30 sheets of metal, some night vision goggles, and one helmet. I looked around and then jammed the helmet over my head. Emily came up to me and laughed because I looked so weird in it. I quickly took it off and placed it next by my seat. I looked up at the sky and then my watch, shit it was 4:00 we needed shelter fast. I told everyone "lets go guys we have 1 hour of sunlight left." We turned onto a country road and the darkness began.
The Country of Night
Attracting attention to ourselves is the one thing we did not want to have to deal with. Thus we didn’t use head lights on the car so Dick had night vision goggles, I wanted to see the road too so I quickly took out and clipped night vision goggles onto my helmet. I gasped, there were bodies everywhere. The bodies where not zombies but trampled bodies of people fleeing, I quickly turned the goggles off and asked Dick, "what happened here?" he replied, "people get desperate." I turned the goggles back on and saw a clearing, I pointed it out to Dick and he nodded, slowly we went into the clearing and we saw the town, or what was left of it. Over the hill we went and as we got closer to the town I saw hundreds of zombies wandering around, I then spotted two ferries, however both of them had many zombies on them. I asked Dick, "smaller or bigger?" he said, "less is more mate." I pointed out where to go, I turned off my goggles and we turned on the high beams, We roared into town, zombies running after us, Dick rammed into a shack and out the other side, we quickly went aboard the ferry. I radioed the others, we are onboard the ferry, we’ll come pick you up." I opened the hatch and started to fire at the zombies inside the ferry, Jim got out and dashed for the remote to close the opening on the back of the ship. Dick got out and began to fire rapidly, I switched to night vision and shot at the zombies running to the opening. I quickly climbed out and I signaled Jim, the hatch shut and locked, I ran with Dick and he attached a hook to the door of the ferry leading up to the poop deck. Jim activated the wench and the door ripped open. I went in first shooting as many zombies as I could, I yanked open the first door and shot the zombies in there, Dick went ahead and took the next room and Jim guarded the main door. We finished clearing the rooms and closets and signaled for Jim, he ran started to take bodies out of the rooms, I opened the hatch to the stairwell, empty, I signaled for Dick and he ran up and I followed. Getting to the top, we yanked open the door to the operation room and shot a couple of zombies as they ran toward us. I looked at the panel and there was two thrust controls, a joystick, and a red cap. I flipped up the red cap and there was a red key in the ignition. Above the red key was a partially faded word, Engine. I twisted the key and the whole ship rumbled to life. I looked at Dick and saw he was looking at an emergency map and told me, "Jim and I will take care of the rest of the baddies be back soon." I heard the hatch behind me click and lock. I pushed on both of the thrust controls forward and it smoothly went out of the docks. After and hour I looked on a monitor to the side of the controls and I looked at my map, we were almost at the rally point. I reversed the thrusters and used the joystick to slowly back up the ferry near a beach. On another monitor I saw to the side and the back of the ship, I was relieved because our teammates were waiting. I used the intercom and said, "Dick meet the guests will you?" I heard a rumbling and the back slowly came down, and I saw the commando and F-150 enter the ferry. I shut off the engine and went down to greet them.
Night of the Ferry
Fred popped out of the F150 and looked around. The lights were now on and everything was Illuminated, I said, "welcome aboard the ferry or hope." I looked around and then said, "Guys lets go clean up the bodies, Dick, Jim, Sam, and I began to throw the bodies overboard while Eli, Emily, Olga, Holmes, and Fred cleaned up. After cleaning up the best we could, I asked, "Hey Dick how were the engines?" Dick replied, "haven’t gone yet" I said, " why not." Jim said, "barricade." I looked at Dick and he nodded. I then said, "we really need to secure the ship, so Fred and Sam your with me, Dick you guard as we go in." Dick nodded and so did Fred and Sam. We went down the stairs and the engine room was definitely barricaded, I nodded at Sam and she shot her shotgun at the door’s hinges. I entered and Fred came in after me. I looked around, it was noisy and crowded. We went in single file, and I looked around. There was an oil gauge and it was full and I signaled for Fred to cover me, I started to the other side of the engines and Sam followed. I looked around and saw a body, Sam tripped on me and fell on top of me. Fred and Dick chuckled and Dick commented, "If you wanted him so badly you just had so say so." I saw Sam get red and get back up. I got close to the body and shot it in the head with my sig saur just incase. The body wore a suit like a captain, I saw he was holding some things in his hands and there were boxes near his head, I looked in and saw there were food crumbs and empty water bottles. I looked threw his shirt and took out a rusty knife and in his hands there was a book, I looked closer a diary and a pen pushed between some pages. I looked at Sam and she nodded, we took him upstairs and pushed him into the sea after saying a prayer. I looked at the diary, it said Diary of John, I pushed some pages apart and saw it had all the dates, up to last Fridays. I quickly closed it and put it in my vest. Then I started the engines again and we pushed off the beach. It was around midnight when I turned off the engines and made sure we were safe. I went to check up on everyone and found out they were okay, I looked on the doors of the rooms we liberated and saw they had put signs on them saying which one belonged to who. Then I saw the bathrooms and thought, yeah I should. I went in and cleaned myself off and did my business. There was a shower too and a locker room so I looked through the lockers and found a black shirt, pants, and a belt I liked (all black) and put them on after I showered. I went out and found my room I was bunking with Eli, Emily, and Sam because there wasn’t enough rooms and this was the biggest one of them all. I climbed into a empty bed and fell asleep.
Morning on the Ferry Day 7 I felt something bouncing on my bed as I awoke. It was Emily and Eli standing behind her smiling I patted Emily on the head and said, "good morning Emily and Eli." I got out of bed quickly and went to the bathroom and did my business. I felt a bit hungry and went into the dinning room, Ann greeted me with cooked chicken in broth. I took a sip and said, "thanks" and continued. Ann said, "something on your mind?" I thought while chewing on a piece of chicken and replied, "Yeah I don’t think my original plan will work, because once we get out to sea what should be do and where should we go?" Ann replied, "that is a very good question indeed, well the answer is all around you, we are ready to follow you almost anywhere, but we are trusting you with our lives you have to understand that." I sipped some soup and replied, "Well my alternate plan was to settle down, we have the man power and the items necessary to do so, and we could probably get help from other fortified cities." Ann nodded and replied, "well there you go wasn’t so bad was it." I smiled and said, "thanks again," I finished my soup and put it in the sink. I walked to my room and sat down, I believed that all this peacefulness has effected my brain somewhat, I quickly shook my head of unnecessary thoughts and strapped on my tactical vest. I then climbed up the steps to the control room, Fred greeted me with a nod. I asked Fred, "what do you think of my plan?" he replied, "what?" oh yeah the one where we can get to sea, I think it’s a pretty good one because zombies can’t swim." I replied, "but what would we do when we get out there?" He replied, "I dunno." I said, "well you have been by my side from the beginning and I am very grateful for that." I looked outside and continued, "what do you think about settling down?"
He thought for a moment, well that would be nice but that would be difficult." I nodded and then said, "call everyone to the bridge and ill announce my decision." thus Fred called everyone to the bridge and I began to explain what we should do next, everyone agreed and thus we pushed forward
