World of the Dead: The Zombie Diaries Page #3

---

Guys, look at this!

It must have been there for weeks.

F***ing hell, it's everywhere.

You forgetting something?

We all f***ing drank

from here last night.

- Oh, God.

- Everyone, calm down.

It's OK.

Our boot marks, upstream.

It's all right.

- That's lucky.

- Too f***ing lucky.

No point in polluting the rest

of this f***ing area.

So, what are we doing

about transport?

Well, we can forget about the truck.

Getting a new vehicle means

heading into a town or village,

and I don't wanna risk that.

We proceed on foot.

Come on, man.

Private, I want all the kits

squared and ready to go.

We head to Hinxston Forest as planned.

We need to get some distance

between this place and us.

Carter!

Trip wire. Careful.

Kayne, check it out.

It's a crossbow. Bandits.

I'll disarm it.

Whoa! F***! Sh*t!

Carter, come back very slowly.

We need to keep off the main paths.

Do you f***ing see this?

Bandits.

OK, on me, move.

Put your back into it, come on.

Whoo!

F***ing hell, Weasel.

Have I got to show you where to put it?

Come on.

Are you a f***ing virgin? Come on!

I hope you're

using f***ing protection.

Dirty bastard. Whoo!

There we go.

OK. Now, Goke...

- Jesus Christ, live a little.

- Problem?

I thought we were gonna f***ing

save her for Billy.

Shut up.

Jesus, Manny. Dirty f***.

Let's go, come on.

- It's no good.

- I can take them from here.

Leeann, you all right?

OK, let's move. Kayne, take point.

What do you think?

We take the most direct route,

straight through the forest.

I don't know, Maddox.

We're not moving across open ground

with bandits around.

We need to move fast.

Time is not on our side.

Yeah, I realize that.

No, you don't.

Look, there's something

you all need to understand.

We've not got much time left.

What do you mean?

There are boats leaving for Rotterdam

from Hope's Point.

They leave in two days,

and they won't wait.

Two days, that's all we've got.

What?

There's something else.

I haven't said anything 'cause

I don't know if it's true yet, but...

If we don't make it there in time,

the chances of our survival

in this country are gonna be zero.

Kayne, you can't say this to Carter.

Why not? He's one of us.

If what we heard happens,

I know he will try and find his family,

and he will die trying.

I'm sorry,

but you've gotta trust me on this.

It's not right.

Kayne, we need him.

- SITREP.

- Not good.

The forest is f***ing

full of those things.

Can we make it through?

All right, let's move.

Come on, let's go.

Leeann, I need your help.

Take these.

Kayne, Carter, right flank.

Jones, Leeann, with me.

- Prepare to move.

- Ready.

Ready.

- Ready.

- Move!

- Covering fire!

- Go!

Go!

Cover!

Covering fire!

On me!

Follow me!

Let's get the f*** out of here.

No sign.

We're clear for now.

They'll be following.

These f***ers are slow,

but they don't give up.

Leeann, you did good.

- Maddox, I'm freezing.

- I know.

Don't worry, we'll start a fire.

This is a good place to rest.

We can see anything coming.

We're close, maybe one or two klicks

till we're through the forest.

We'll come across a couple of villages.

Good. Maybe we can find a set of wheels.

Doubtful, but we do need food and water.

This is pretty much the last of it.

We'll have a look at daybreak,

but I'm not taking any chances.

I don't like it out here.

It feels too open.

Be glad when we get to the coast.

The people at Hope's Point

know what they're doing.

Yeah.

I just wanna leave places

like London behind now.

Have you got any family there?

Yeah.

It scares me,

the thought of ever going back.

- Married?

- No.

Just Mom and Dad.

I wanted a career back then.

All seems so pointless now.

I had a wife and a daughter.

Up in Manchester.

Wish I knew where they are.

Just need to find out what happened,

you know?

Jonesy.

Here, give me that.

- So, what about you?

- What do you mean?

It's about time you tell us

a bit about yourself?

Yeah, mate, you've been

asking us a lot of questions.

OK.

My wife left me three years ago.

Uh, I suppose it was

my own fault, really.

I was always away on work.

Looks like you still are.

Yeah.

I suppose it's all I got left now.

But it's important, isn't it?

To document all this.

Any other family?

Just my dad.

He went to America

a few years ago, and, uh...

...I haven't heard

from him since Christmas.

It was just a card.

And no kids, actually.

It's a pretty good job, considering,

isn't it? All this, what's happened.

- Don't go asking Corp.

- Why? What's the big secret?

It's no secret.

Well?

- You really wanna know?

- Yeah, I really wanna know.

I was a schoolteacher.

A teacher? Are you serious?

Yeah.

Taught geography

to secondary school kids.

Just a regular job like everyone else.

But I'll say this. Um...

I'm sorry, Jonesy, but you're wrong.

Kids are our only hope now.

That's why it's so important

we find other survivors.

If not, our generation's

gonna be the last,

and things will never get back

to the way they were.

What about you, Kayne?

I look after him.

Ha-ha.

You fucks.

Here.

I'm gonna go pee.

Stay close.

Leeann, you all right?

Leeann?

Leeann!

If any of those things eat her...

Fall back behind those trees.

- The c*nts were just here.

- Keep your f***ing noise down.

They're still around.

I'll let you go,

though quickly this time, now.

That's it. You struggle.

I like it rough!

F***ing c*nt.

Up we go then.

- They can't get far.

- Traps will stop them.

Ain't that right, Billy?

You're a tough girl

to get hold of, Leeann.

Be still. Your friends at the base

got a nice surprise last night, eh?

F***ing animals!

What are we gonna do with her?

What do you think, Manny?

I'm gonna f***ing ruin her.

You already been there, mate.

No, we got something

special in mind for you.

Haven't we, Billy?

That wasn't nice.

Hold her down.

No. No.

- No!

- This c*nt's gonna get it.

Stop. Please.

- No!

- What are you wearing under there?

Get 'em!

Keep your heads down!

Run point!

- F***ing run, Billy!

- Run, I'll hold them!

Keep them pinned down

until we get clear,

then you follow, that's an order.

Carter,

keep a watch on your right flank.

Got it! Go, go!

All round defense!

Leeann.

I was listening to those wankers.

They're the ones, aren't they?

Who did that to your friends?

- Yeah.

- F***ers.

We better across these fields

and away from here now.

No. We gotta wait for Carter.

Look, Carter knows what he's doing.

We've gotta go.

There he is! I can see him.

No!

- Kayne, leave him!

- Carter!

Kayne... do me!

Do it! F***ing do it!

Kayne. You all right?

Look, I'm sorry about Carter.

He didn't wanna come

on this f***ing mission.

We'll get through this.

- We will get to safety.

- It's f***ed up.

I know it is. But right now,

I need you on your feet.

They'll be on us.

Bring it on.

That's Carter's rifle.

F***ers.

They'll have their hands full

for a while.

They won't find us in the dark
