Chapter 394
I hear the sound of a gun hammer being clicked back.
"Jill if this is how you show your love for me I must say it is a first to be strapped down and held at gun point." I say with a weak voice.
She let's out a sigh of relief before removing the gun from my head.
"Mind explaining why I'm strapped to a bed and how long have I been sleeping?" I ask.
"3 days Alice has taken care of you the most. As for why your strapped down look at your arm." she says.
I look at my right arm which is perfectly normal the left one however which should be missing not so much.
"What the f.u.c.k?!?" it like some weird tentacle apendage with fingers it's a nasty looking red kind of like burned flesh.
"What happened to my arm?" I ask her.
"Well when we went to move your arm a weird tentacle shot out from your body and kind of ate it." she explains. "We tried injecting you with Antivirus but it didn't work you seem to have mutated. Until you turned we decided to strap you to the bed and see what would happen. if you went zombie we would feed you a bullet." she says giving me some water to drink.
"Is there anything else wrong with me besides this abomination?" I ask hopefully I don't look like some f.u.c.ked up wrinkly t.e.s.t.i.c.l.e.
"Well....." she holds a little compact mirror to my face. It's worse than I thought.
Glowing red demonic looking eyes are what's staring back at me. "f.u.c.k now I look like some weeb wet dream quick shoot me before my hair turns white or something." I plead.
"Sorry no can do." She laughs "if I did shoot you I'm sure Alice would kill me she's quite protective of you."
I just stare at my gross hand. "Ugh this
"What's going on?" comes alices voice from the front. Apparently she was sleeping in the pa.s.sengers seat.
"Well Ryan is awake and not a flesh eating whatever so there's that. His arm is weird as s.h.i.+t though." I'm immediately pounced on and man handled as I'm checked over.
"Thank G.o.d! I was so worried." She sobs hugging onto me.
"yeah that was probably some neglect on my part. My bad. Can I please be untied now?" I croak out.
She quickly undoes the straps and helps me sit up.
"Where are we now and how far has the virus spread?" I ask.
"We are near the outskirts of a medium sized town the virus is all over everywhere we have been so far no survivors." Jill says.
"We need to find an rv dealers.h.i.+p or something so we can get a camper to attach to the back of the truck. I'm sure you all aren't comfortable camped up in here all the time." I sigh looking at the tight s.p.a.ce.
"There is one in the town we were just kind of waiting for you to recover or die before we took any further steps." Jill says.
"How thoughtful." I say with a raspy chuckle. "How's the truck doing?" I ask.
"The whole winds.h.i.+eld is pretty messed up and we can barely see from it." Alice says.
"On the dash there should be a little green b.u.t.ton with like a medic sign press that." I tell her.
she walks up and find the b.u.t.ton The winds.h.i.+eld flash melts before settling back looking almost brand new. I told you guys I made adjust ment and knew that the hardest part to fix would be the broken gla.s.s so I had special tools installed for on the go repair for tires, winds.h.i.+elds, and the engine.
"Amazing." Jill says looking at the almost new window.
I look over at our silent companion who is watching cartoons. "h.e.l.lo Ashley sorry I haven't been very good company the last few days. How are you doing so far?" I ask the teen girl.
"It's okay and I'm doing well I do miss daddy though." She says sadly.
That could prove to be a problem as I don't know what's happened to him.
"No messages or anything?" I ask.
"Nope." Comes alices voice.
"What are our supplies looking like?" I ask.
"We still have some frozen meat and veggies also there's quite a bit of canned food. However we are seriously low on some medicines your body had a very high fever for the past few days and we used whatever we could to fight it off. You could also use some nutritious foods as your body lost way more blood than you should have." Jill says.
"we should be fine on water and power I have the purification station and the solar panels don't seem to have suffered any damage." I say looking at the lights and ac buzzing along happily. "Let's try to find an a car dealers.h.i.+p see if we can get a camper and then search for supplies." I suggest.
"Fine but you won't be leaving the truck I doubt you could walk in your condition let alone do anything else." Alice says very firmly.
"Yes mother." I pout crossing my arms. But seriously I feel like hot garbage.
Alice starts up the truck with Jill taking shotgun. "come sit by me Ashley I do enjoy watching courage the cowardly dog." I say to the girl who crawls up next to me with the small dvd player. About 5 minutes later I'm sleeping again.
