The Lost Expedition

I met up with my friend, Mary Lester. She told me that she had witnessed zombie outbreaks at Liberty Bell Center, Philadelphia, and she and her friends are taking care of the outbreak. They all wear this protective suit that will protect them against Zombie attacks, and in case they are bitten, the zombies cannot penetrate the thick layer of protective layer of coating on the outside since they are made of very strong kevlar.

I was looking for my friends, and unfortunately I cannot just imagined that my friends will be here and it comes true. I have to look for them. I wished that my friends were alive, but most of them were turned into zombies and I have no choice but to kill them.

Anyways, I am here just outside of the Nuclear Power Plant, and the power plant is currently in a stable state. Mary told me that this is the hiding place from the zombies, since we always keep this area zombie-free. It's one of the places where it has to be kept zombie free. Me, Bella, Adam and Cora are currently residing next to the nuclear power plant.

The person who is working at the power plant is Mary Lester. She is using a protective suit to shield herself from Radiation. Mary told me that she will be making nuclear powered weapons, though I'm not sure if it's tested or not.

Meanwhile, Bella is in charge in testing the weapons. Since she has an extremely high resistant to radiation (not immune to), then she is suitable to work for testing the weapons.

Cora is currently testing the nuclear batteries, and we have our own testing ground for that. She had to make sure that the radiation in the battery flask doesn't leak out.

Meanwhile, I decided to go out and scout out some more survivors (With the protective suit of course). I walked towards a car, but this isn't an ordinary car. It's Lamborghini Reventon, one of the rarest production cars in the world. I am aware of how fast this thing will go, and how expensive it is.

But at this point, all I care is to survive, and I was glad that my friends are making nuclear powered guns to combat the zombies, but I have to look for another survivors.

I closed my eyes and began to pray to my mother. Mother, please... help---.

I stopped. My mother had faded, why would I pray to a god that has already faded? And why had they faded? These questions kept reeling back inside my head, like these questions had been asked over and over again.

I decided to put aside that thought and drove my way through the ghost town of New York City. It's just like the abandoned town of Chernobyl, but this isn't Russia. City blocks are empty, but on the grocery stores, there's a lot of foods that are leftover. It turns out that it's also abandoned. But luckily, no one's there to take them yet, so I decided that this will be a lucky day for me. I got out of the car and decided to loot the goods that are going to be useful for me and for my friends.

This is not the first time I looted a store. It's been for many many times I have to loot goods in order for me and my friends to survive. So I took Pringles, instant noodles, beef, roast chickens, and many other goods back to the car. Of course I didn't loot all of them. The car would not hold all of the goods in the store, so I had to take them a little at a time. Once I took what I need, I decided to get back to the looted car and drove off. While driving I saw RV leaving the city, and it's heading somewhere. I decided to follow the RV, and see where it goes.

I began to chase the RV when it's about to get out of my sight. Since this is Lamborghini Reventon, this car can catch up with the RV quickly, no matter how far it is (as long as you know where's the RV). I stepped on the gas and before I know it, I was on pursuit of the RV. The RV is leaving the New York City, and I figure that the RV will take no longer than 30 minutes to reach it's intended destination, so I didn't go full speed on this car. The RV took another turn to the right of the huge Chrysler building, and the building is obviously abandoned. The RV turned a very sharp left as it tries to avoid something that is in front of the RV. Indeed something is in front of the RV. There's a huge lamp post that is falling on the streets. I wonder, why are the lamp posts are falling on the streets? What are the zombies trying to tell us?

<p style="text-align: left;">Then, I stopped the car, and I could feel the earth shaking. This isn't just a falling lamp post. This is an earthquake! But why is the earthquake only affecting the lamp post?

<p style="text-align: left;">Then I took a closer look at the lamp posts, and something hit me. The foundation of the lamp posts are weak, so they are easily affected by earthquake and winds and thus made them fall down.

<p style="text-align: left;">By the way, the RV is also stopping, and as I watched, the RV stopped in a place. I saw the place, and it says "Leo's Lair", and either by coincidence or luck, the RV stopped outside of Leo's Lair.
