I am Dana Overbeck, Daughter of William "Bill" Overbeck. I was in a coma for 7 months and awoke in the midst of panic and chaos inside Mercy Hospital. Luckily the staff had boarded up the 6th level of the hospital leaving me and 3 other coma patients unharmed.. From zombies, two of them were shot in the head and one had a bed pan in his chest... and I had seen no sign of infection in them and to the right of the door there were the nurses and what appeared to be a Doctor lying dead and appeared to have been infected. I have no idea who the person responsible for killing them is but I own them a great deal of Thanks.
I begin my journey leaving the building and going to the roof. Luckily the hospital had been cleared for the most part. Only the entrance to the roof and the roof it's self had infected.. and many. I had to run and fast to get back to the 6th floor with out being detected or fallowed. I clothed my self and grabbed a fire ax as well as a pan I had found outside the door. No idea why it was there... I also had no idea why I would leave my room with out arming my self and clothing my self in the first place.. I guess being a sleep for so long will do that to someone.
When I finally cleared what seemed to be a.. "safe room" it appeared some other people got to it before me. No signs of anything that can help me heal wounds but plenty of guns and ammo.
I grabbed a small purse that was on a chair tucked under the table and tied it to my waist then put ammo inside of it, then I found what seemed to be ibuprofen and packed it in as well.
I decided to grab the automatic shotgun and a Hunting Rifle and left behind the pan which had some use but was ridiculous to keep carrying around.
I then rushed to the roof and took care of some common infected (I keep on seeing the same type of zombie so I will be calling them commons)
I also seen this coughing.. zombie it has large sacks on it's face that expelled smoke, it also had a long tongue and it could... "shot" it's tongue at me.. with a few shots from my shotgun it went down before it had a chance to pull me down. (It looked and sounded like a friend of mine who used to smoke 3 packs a day so I will be calling this zombie a "Smoker".)
Among the Smoker and Commons I seen some other strange things like a.. obese man who threw up.. it's bile at me and the commons seemed to like it, I thought I was turkey dinner, luckily it wears off. and when I shoot it, it explodes and reminds me of a bomb, but the debris is more Bile... (Because it makes a booming sound and had packets of Bile on it's stomach which looked like sacs of green goo I will be calling this zombie a Boomer) The next zombie I seen was one that LEAPED at me.. not jump but leap. This zombie could probably get me from across the roof with no problems at all.. other then the wind... maybe. This zombie circled me and waited for a perfect opening to attack me then when it got me it tried to rip me to shreds, good thing I knocked it off and it went down with one shot of my Rifle. (Because this zombie circled me and treated me like prey as well as wear clothing that could make it harder to notice in the dark like it's hood I will call it a "Hunter" wink
Finally.. The mother of them all.. the man as large as a Tank.. the "Tank" I call this monster a Tank because even if I shoot it 100 times it won't go down.. even if I throw a bottle of FIRE at it.. it only runs faster. It's like an actual tank.. if I kept up my fire it eventually went down.. but not with out some injuries of my own.
As I finally get to this room at the far end of the roof and all noticeable infected are gone I see some stairs and it leads to another "roof" with more ammo, guns, pills and a REALLY BIG GUN! *ahem* Anyways.. there was also some.. kits filled with healing supplies and bandages. A Health Kit as I call it. I grabbed one and Placed it on my back like a backpack.
I sat for a few minutes thinking of that to do. The ruckus I made out probably attracted more Commons and the others and if the roof of the hospital had that many zombies the streets would be no better if worse. Then I remembered that there was a black box on the table that I passed. To double check my suspicions I went down and to my surprise I seen a radio. But had no idea how to use it and heard nothing since I got to the roof. I checked if it was on and it was I also checked if the communicator on my side worked and it seemed too. So I waited for 10 or so minutes and nothing was on but static and MORE static and realized I was only on one channel and tried to change it. It was slow and almost painful but I found a repeating military broadcast and it said it was coming from New Orleans and that it WAS the last standing Safe Heaven in eastern America and that it has spread to Quebec and Ontario In Canada but that they bombed it and build barriers in Manitoba and has not spread more in Canada so far. But that eastern America is having troubles containing it and they are having to keep on moving back into the other states and that everyone is being shot as well. The infection is almost at Colorado.
Hearing this I cannot help but cry.. if this is to strong for the American army what makes me think I can handle this.
Is Dad okay? Is anyone okay? I have to find out. I seen a writing on the wall in the safe room saying
"Dear Dana, your the treasure of my life. I heard you were here and brought everyone with me. but I could not find you and had to go on. We are going to see if we can find a helicopter I love you"
Daddy.. <3
It inspired me to try contacting the Army.. I tried and tried.. and TRIED but no response. and things were getting worse. The infected, I heard there screams from the stairs, they were close, Panic set in Realizing ammo eventually runs out. So I set back for roof.. on the roof. and put more ammo in the bag and used my health kit and grabbed another then I ran over to my left and put in a bomb of sorts into my bag and slid in a fire bottle or Molotov in my side and shoved in another bottle of Pillz and ran back to center and waited. I started to sweat heavier and heavier. I heard a crash and squealing and coughing and hunters calls and sick boomers... and in the distance a tank and crying (which I didn't think was a threat at the time) I also heard "Come in Mercy hospital are you there?"
I ran downstairs and slammed the doors shut and answered. I thanked the lord knowing this was blessed.
Unfortunately He told me him and a sick friend were the last ones left and they were on the roof and heard me but lost the station, luckily the found it again. He was trapped on the roof of the Military base with nothing but Pills, some ammo, pistols and a Helicopter filled with gas. He was reluctant to come until I told him that I had health packs, ammo, guns and bombs. (I also had zombies but I wasn't going to tell him that.. yet)
He Finally agreed and came to get me.
He said it would be a painful 45 Minutes to get here because he needed to pack up the left over supplies and some food as well as his sick friend. I didn't like the sound of his sick friend (luckily it ended up being a stomach ache and some injuries) So it was a 30 minute flight plan.
I also found out that he was stationed at a previous military base that also got over run, there apparently had been 4 survivors that hi-jacked a train when it went to hell and didn't stop for anyone.
The people were
A overly positive and successful looking Black Man
A beautiful girl who enjoyed quoting movies and was very sarcastic
A Tough Biker who enjoyed making a bad situation worse with rude comments
and
A Military Veteran who wore a Green beret and acted like a grandfather to everyone.
It sounded like Daddy
After hearing this I got excited and asked if he could take me to where the train went if he know were it was and said we would talk more when he got there then it was quiet.
Until the zombies came in threw the door and attacked. First was some commons and a boomer trying to blend in.
after I shoot the idiotic boomer and killed the commons I ran up the stairs and manned the Gatling gun. it took out a large number of zombies, I probably got about 1000 zombies, it was like a Red Mist.
As time rolled on and waves on infected and Specials kept on coming it became less.. terrifying and more enjoyable to kill all these worthless infected, I wanted to stay and lure them here and clear out the city to help other survivors passing by.
Which actually happened, Eventually there was only tanks and maybe 3-4 commons at a time. and I seen only 1 boomer after 20 minutes and maybe a hunter and no smokers at all. but I still heard that ghastly crying. I wanted to investigate but it was loud and has been going on for a while, this person was either turning or had there own saviors. or maybe another type of Infected?
But that soon did not matter because I heard a chopper and killed the last tank with worry and rush. I grabbed all the Pills, Ammo, Guns and Bombs in my bag and arms, as much as I could hold and ran to the helipad and waited for the chopper.
Of course this wouldn't end so nicely.
A tank had to come and ruin everything, It was climbing and was by the remaining supplies and Gatling gun.
When the chopper got there I threw all the things in but my rifle, one "pipe" bomb, my health kit and some ammo. and told him to hover to the back and wait for me. He listened and actually left. I thought he would argue it, good thing he didn't.
I wanted the rest of the supplies.. well I was going to leave 2 bottles of pills, one health kit the rest of the ammo and some Molotov's and a pipe bomb Oh and some guns like the AK-47 because we already had one, and a combat shotgun and a M16.
As I shot some stragglers (commons) I also threw my Molotov at the tank and shot him down as I was running towards him. It was stupid but I had no time to think. When I got to the supplies I placed everything that I was leaving all nice on the boxes that were against a wall that was located near the stairs. and grabbed what i was taking which was one more health kit. some more ammo that I just put into my rifle and I threw two pipe bombs over the edge and one over the other side (I did this so that any infected on the streets would case it and die.. to bad I forgot that we were high up and that it probably didn't get to the bottom. But I hoped that they would get lead to the hospital and clear the streets) and I brought one more Molotov with me to throw out of the chopper encase we had some issues trying to take off or issues with me getting there.
I turned around and signaled the Pilot to start coming back and then jumped down the stairs with haste and my hair almost blinded me and I nearly trip. As I stumbled I fell down this ledge and hear loud growling and crying, I brushed my hair I seen the crying girl, he has long bloody nails that looked like they rip to shreds, she also had eyes red as Hell it's self.
I had not seen anything to terrifying in my whole life. It sent shivers down my spine. I was frozen in place and it only made her angrier, she stood up and started yelling and moaning so I snapped out of it and ran to my right, which was the direction of the chopper and didn't look back. but that didn't help. She was f**king pissed and was casing after me with arms spread open as if she was going to grab me and rip me in two.
I screamed as she hit me, it was so painful and sent me down in one hit, she had power and anger, Sort of like my mother when she was on her period.
the chopper was armed with a small gun and he shot at her, and got some bullets in me too but it was nothing compared to the pain she delivered.
It felt like forever, I was slipping, I could see a red hase around my eyes and it was bright, almost like life was slipping away. She finally died but let out a terrifying scream when she did, which would defiantly attract something, if there was anything, so I grabbed my final pill case and took them and slowly got up. It would be more helpful if someone was telling me it okay and that I didn't look so bad.
But I got my self up and limped to the chopper with out problems or infected. but I heard a tank, and I was right. When I finally got onto the chopper I waited until we got some distance and threw the Molotov where I thought I seen the Tank. luckily I hit him. It felt like a victory even though I would face more tanks and infected in the future...
(Part two November 4th)
