Chapter six: The Doom Truck!

"So Chuck, Bob, Bill and Bark didn't make it!" Zade said after Zeke told them what happened to the rest of Chuck's group, the group had found refugee inside HB-Hi-Fi, after Zeke had found resting after that little fight they had with the infected outside of the plaza, it was now 8:40 pm, "So what happened to them?" Lash asked, "Well when we were running to here, those four tried to back stabbed me but got swarmed by infected and were torn to shreds" Zeke said, "So... we couldn't of trusted them then?" Lash asked as he cleaned his mask and placed it back on his head a little above his eyes, "Probably not" Christian replied, the group spent the night sitting around doing nothing while Nevau and Eleana went out to try and find some food.

"Where are they? They should be back by now!" Meredith whined, "Be patient they're might be Zombies in here as well" Zyker replied, Zyker had foot mark on his face after he tried to leap hug Eleana but ended up kissing Lash's foot instead, "Well they're looking for food maybe they are looking for bags to carry the food!" Mystic said, "Why do they need to get bags, Nevau has one with him right?" Shade asked, "Uh Shade, who's bag do you think that is next to Patrick" Christian said pointing at a black bag, Everyone except Zade, Lash, Lyra, Christian, Zyker and Zeke(probably because he didn't care): "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!"

Nevau and Eleana had just got back to the safe area just as everyone screamed, "What happened?" Nevau asked, Everyone just looked at the him, and they all(except for Zeke and Vencen because of his broken leg) got up and rushed at Nevau with fist blazing, Nevau's eyes shot open and Eleana quickly got out of the way.

After everyone had beaten the crap out of Nevau later, "So what you guys get?" Patrick asked looking at the bags Eleana had placed down, "Subway!" Eleana said pulling out a wrapped up subway sandwich with a smile on her face, "Why subway?" Kenny asked, "Well we can't eat any of the food here, because there's a lot of blood out there!" Nevau said, "And why do think subway is a good option?" Zeke asked again, "Well when we went to the store there wasn't anyone there, no Infected or survivors, no blood, no debris, no smashed glass anything and we did a good look around too!" Eleana replied handing Sarah a sandwich, "Weird" Shade said, "You don't think the military did a broadcast in order to tell everyone to evacuate the city?" Lash asked Zade, "Probably" Zade replied.

"But where would they go?" Mystic asked as Eleana gave her a subway before giving Zeke a subway and so on, "Well they can't come here or else there would be a fuck ton of infected. Plus it'll probably end up like dawn of the dead so the only other place that would make a good safe zone for all those survivors would be a military base" Lash said taking a bite out of his sandwich, "Indeed" Zade said while nodding his head, "Is a military base near Palmerston?" Carl asked, "Yes. But it isn't big enough to hold a large group of people and the only one I can thin of is near Christchurch" Zade replied.

Everyone ate their subway while thinking of what to do next after a while, "We need to get out of Palmerston!" Mark said breaking the silence, "How?" Nevau asked, "Maybe we should look for a vehicle?" Lash suggested, "That would make sense if we wanted to get out of city without fighting too much infected, but what vehicle do we get?" Nevau said, "We should get a Holden!" Shade blurted out causing Lash to throw a book at his head, "Ow! what was that for!?" Shade yelled, "We can't use a car idiot! Plus I always wanted to throw a book at someone's head" Lash said, "And why not!" Shade angrily asked, "First how are we supposed to fit everyone in a car, and even if we get two, we would probably attracted too much attention!" Lash replied.

"Why worry about the infected!" Zeke said, "No there are other things we should also worry about besides the infected" Lash said, "And what's that?" Shizuka asked, "Thugs, Gang members, ex-military and cops. Those kinds of people they won't act kind if they saw us! They'll kill us and take what we have" Lash said, "So we should worry about other survivors as-well" Mystic said, "Exactly" Lash said nodding, "Well a truck would sound like a good vehicle. Probably won't break down after hitting four or five infected, and if we armor it up it should be pretty durable" Patrick said and everyone agreed, "We should try and find a military truck, should hold us all" Zade said, after everyone finished their dinner, they got up and left the store walked right up to the main doors.

Patrick and Zade opened the doors up and Lash poked his head out to make sure there were no infected had appeared after Nevau and Eleana left the subway store and entered the plaza, "Clear" Lash said as he then walked out followed by the others, the group began to explore the city looking down every street, the group came across a three dead soldiers, Lash, Zade and Scarlet checked to see if they were truly dead, after they made sure, they found gun ammo next to their deceased bodies, ak-47 bullets, sniper rifle bullets, and shot gun bullets, "How lucky!" Scarlet said reloading here gun, and taking the spare bullets with them just in case and continued down the street they walking down.

12:00 am; "We've finally found a truck!" Patrick said, "Not the kind of truck I was hoping for but it'll do" Zade said, the group after wondering down every street had found a Box truck parked in the middle of the road next to a gun store and a dairy, "Hey look a crowbar" Nevau said picking up a crowbar which was behind the truck, "I guess someone was trying to get into the back" Scarlet said, "Well it's locked!" Nevau said looking at the lock on the truck's clipart, "Here I'll have a go!" Patrick said as Nevau gave him the crowbar and with one whack of the crowbar, the lock on the clipart shattered into pieces.

Patrick then rammed the crowbar into the smile gap at the lifted the door up enough for Nevau to slide his fingers through, after that Nevau then pushed the door up with Patrick and the group got a peek on what's inside, "Ammunition and guns, by the looks of it!" Patrick said pulling out a ammo crate and a pistol, "Hey! I found the owner of the crowbar!" Shade said looking at the left side of the truck, a deceased male laid sitting up against the truck, he had a bite mark on his forearm, "Hey Nevau can I borrow your crowbar for a sec?" Lash asked, "Sure" Nevau said passing Lash his crowbar, "Lash what are you doing?" Lenny asked, "Making sure he's dead!" Lash answered as he walked up to the corpse, as almost sensing Lash's presence the corpse let out a growl like groan and looked up to see Lash standing there, Lash took a deep breath and just as the zombie got up to try and bite him, Lash brought the crowbar crashing down onto the Zombie's head, a sickening cracking sound was heard when the crowbar came into contacted the Zombie's head.

It then collapse to the ground dead but Lash bashed the head five times to make sure, "Here you go" Lash said passing the crowbar back to Nevau, "Thanks" Nevau said shaking the brain matter off the crowbar and then cleaning it with a nearby piece of cloth, "Alright I’m going to check the driver’s seat to see if the keys are in the ignition" Lash said walking towards the driver’s side, sure enough when Lash went to the driver’s side, the door was unlocked, Lash opened up the door and pulled out the dead driver who was shot through the head, probably by a pistol, Lash checked the ignition to see the keys were there.

"Yup the keys are in the ignition, and also it turns out this truck belongs to Earl's gun shop" Lash said, "What makes you say that?" Kenny asked, "Well it says it right there on the side" Lash said pointing at the side of the truck where the words in capitals said; EARL'S GUN SHOP, "And this is Earl" Lash said pointing at the body of Earl and the gun shop which sigh read: EARL'S GUN SHOP, "Why do you think that's Earl" Josh asked, "Well he had a name tag on that said; Hello my name is: Earl" Lash said, "Well he didn't get far" Zeke said, "Well he was shot in the head, probably as he was about to drive off" Lash said.

"I found a pistol with a bullet missing on that guy you re-killed" Patrick said, "Well let's hope this thing still has gas in it" Vencen said, "Alright let's hope it does. Everyone better get in cause this engine is gonna be loud!" Lash said hopping into the driver’s seat, and no one stopped him despite Zeke wanting too, "We need to get this thing armored up I know a mechanics shop shouldn't be too far from here" Zeke said, "Alright you're giving direction so hop into the passenger’s seat" Lash said, Mystic quickly hopped into the middle seat, then Zeke hopped into the passenger’s seat, the others, hopped into the clipart, Patrick was the last to enter, once he got in he closed the door behind him.

"Alright fingers crossed" Lash said turning the keys in the ignition once, the engine struggled to start but went off, a loud roar was heard, "they're coming" Mystic said, "Alright here we go again!" Lash said turning the keys a second time, but the results were the same as last time, the three then heard faint screaming and it was coming closer and fast, "Alright third time's the CHARM!!!" Lash yelled, turning the keys for the third, the truck’s engine roared to life "Yes!" the three shouted with joy.

Lash then put the gear stick into first gear, and the truck took off just as the three got a glimpse of Zombies running towards the truck, “Fast Zombies! Fuck this shit!” Lash yelled and slamming his foot on the clutch causing the truck to move faster, “Oh god...!” Zeke said getting motion sick, “Zeke what directions do go?” Lash asked Zeke, “Take a right…Now!” Zeke said giving Lash directions, the truck then took a sharp turn, “It’s a good thing we’re wearing seatbelts” Mystic said, “I don’t think seatbelts are going to help honestly Mystic!” Zeke said weakly.

Meanwhile in the back of the truck; “Whoa!” Patrick said trying to maintain his balance, “Looks like Lash’s taking some rocky turns!” Sarah said while sitting on one of the crates, “Yup. By the way where are we going?” Shade asked, “I think I heard Zeke say something about a mechanic he knows” Zade said, “Is the lad’s driving like this a lot?” Kenny asked, “We’ve only let him drive twice last time when we escaped QEC and now” Christian said.

Zyker saw Eleana looking at a photo and he got up and sat next to her, “Are you okay?” Zyker asked, “Huh? Yeah I’m fine” Eleana said smiling weakly, Zyker got a glimpse of the photo and saw a Young Eleana and her mother and father, “I'm sure that they're safe” Zyker said trying to comfort her, he also could tell that Eleana was not okay with the whole situation that was happening the Zombie apocalypse and everything going to absolute hell in just two days, he just remained silent until...

“Hey Zyker catch!” Nevau said throwing a metal baseball bat at Zyker, Zyker caught it, “Where’d you find this” Beaudene asked Nevau, “Me and Patrick are having a look in these crates, and it’s not just firearms or ammunition in here” Nevau said, “What else is there?” Christian asked, “Let’s see” Nevau mumbled, he pulled out a pistol and machete and handed it to Christian, then two more metal baseball bats and passed those to Shade and Kenny, some machetes and gave them to Meredith, Sarah, Mark, Carl, Lenny, Shizuka and Josh.

Patrick then pulled out construction hammer and placed it into his bag, Nevau then pulled out a sickle and passed it to Eleana, and finally Vencen pulled out a broadsword and place it over his shoulders, “Well we are going to need weapons to defend ourselves with” Patrick said, “Um... by the way what are we driving away from?” Shade asked, “Or it’s just Lash driving like a maniac again” Vencen said, “I don’t know I’ll check just in case” Shade said, he then walked up to the door and lifted it up a little to see fast Zombies chasing after truck...

“NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOPE!!!” Shade yelled before slamming the door down, "Oh great fast zombies. Because that's what we totally need in a Zombie outbreak! Zombies that know how to use their fucking legs!" Nevau growled, "Whelp it's a good thing we have a Lash!" Shade said walking away from the door and sitting down, "Hey look what I found!" Patrick said pulling out a rocket launcher, Shade got back up and opened the door, though he did this reluctantly, Patrick got down on one knee and looked through the scope, and fired.

Lash, Mystic and Zeke heard an explosion that came from behind the truck, they saw a bunch of Zombie limbs rain down onto the truck, "Oh great its raining limbs again" Lash said turning on the windshield wipers.

"Well lucky there were only six of them" Patrick said while putting the rocket launcher away as Shade closed the door and after a while the group felt the truck slow down before coming to a stop, they then heard a bang on the door and Mystic's voice calling out, "We're here everyone!" she said, Patrick then opened the door and everyone climbed out, "Where's Lash and Zeke?" Vencen said looking around, "They've gone inside to see if anyone is alive in there" Mystic said while pointing at the mechanics workshop.

Inside the workshop, "Man it's dark in here; I can barely see a thing!" Lash said while walking around aimlessly in the dark, "Well try and find the light switch then!" Zeke said right before he walked it to a locker, "Ow!" she growled in pain, suddenly the lights switched on, Lash started to rub his eyes when they did, but before he had the chance to ask Zeke if he was alright, Lash heard footsteps coming from behind him and he quickly drawed his katana and quickly spun around to face the person who was behind him.

"Bloody hell mate! Is that how you greet everyone!?" a man asked, when Lash's eye had fully adjusted to the light he could see the man's appearance quite clearly, the man was around about Lash's age, he had spiky wheat blonde hair that reach to the middle of his back and was tied up, he had orange eyes, he wore a blue and white sleeveless shirt, blue jeans that were held up by a belt, black and brown cuffed boots and blue gloves and spoke with an Australian accent.

"Who are you friend or foe?" Lash asked the man, "Name's Cyber and I am not your enemy!" Cyber said, after Lash told everyone that the workshop was safe and they had found a survivor, Patrick drove the truck into the workshop and everyone got acquainted with Cyber.

"So Phil is gone" Zeke said while drinking a cup of hot chocolate that Lash had made for everyone, "Yeah some soldiers came by two days ago and took him out of town too a military base near Christchurch!' Cyber replied, "I guess that's where we should head too. Who know maybe our parents are there" Mark said, "Yeah. But we're going to need to armor up the truck first" Zyker said, "Leave that to me" Cyber said he then got up and placed on a yellow mechanic's jumpsuit, white gloves, safety goggles, a white mask, he then proceeded, into the garage where the truck was resting, and closed the door behind him.

A couple hours had passed and Cyber exited the garage, “Everyone come have a look at your newly upgraded truck” Cyber said and everyone followed Cyber into the garage, “Whoa!” Shade said in amazement of the sight of the newly upgraded truck, the truck now had spikes attached to its wheel rims frontal piece and sides, the color had been changed to purple and black with tint of blue, and the words; Doom Truck were written on its sides, the front lights were repaired along with the front window.

when the group had a look on the inside of the clipart which had been combined with another clipart to fit more room for people and supplies, it had seats merged into the sides along with cupboards with steel door in order to hold their equipment along with a transportable fridge and oven, there was also a door leading to the drivers area of the truck, the main part of the truck remained the same, with the exception of new seats, and a little walk way for the door that lead to the clipart, there was also a radio hooked up on the CD player.

“Wow. Cyber how’d you do all this?” Scarlet asked, “Well Phil always said; I had a little talent for this line of work” Cyber said with a confident smile, “Um... why does it say Doom Truck on the sides?” Eleana asked, “It’s was his idea that I replace the words Earl’s Gun-shop with Doom Truck” Cyber said while pointing at Lash, “What? I thought it was an okay idea!” Lash said scratching the back of his head.

“Hello is anyone there?” A voice suddenly called out, “Where that come from?” Kenny asked, “It came for the radio” Cyber said walking towards a radio that was placed on his work bench, he put it on the speaker so the others could hear it, “Hello this Cyber” Cyber said speaking into the microphone part of the radio, “Thank Christ there are survivors where are you mates?” The voice asked, “Phil’s Workshop in Palmerston North” Cyber said, “What your still in Palmerston!?” the voice asked with a worried tone, “Yeah why are concerned apart from the obvious threat out there” Cyber said.

“Bloody hell... You lot need to get out of there and get to where I am!” The voice said, “Why and why should we trust you?” Cyber asked, “Because I have the transportation to get you off the Island but you need to get to where I am!” The voice said, “You didn’t answer my question why do we need to get out of Palmerston?” Cyber asked, “Because the military are going to drop bombs on the damn place!” The voice said, the group look at each other before looking back at the radio, “You have ten minutes!” The voice said before cutting out to static, “Well let’s not waste time” Lash said.

“I’m coming with you!” Cyber said, “Alright you’ve help us out and It’ll be kinda of rude if we left you here to die! But I wonder if the others are okay with it” Lash said, “Yeah it’s fine plus we might need a mechanic with us” Zade said with everyone else on an agreement, “Here’s the keys” Cyber said throwing the keys at Lash, Lash caught them and hopped into the driver’s seat, and Zade hopped into the passenger’s seat, while the other got into the clipart.

Once everyone was seated, Patrick closed the door and Lash turned the keys in the ignition and the engine roared to life and with that Lash drove the truck out of the workshop, “Where are we going?” Lash asked, “Down south to Christchurch!” Zade said winding down his window the gust of wind gently breeze on their skin, Lash grabbed the radio’s microphone and spoke into it, “Attention passengers we are heading south to Christchurch please make sure you have your seat belts on; because it’s going to be a slightly bumpy ride out the city, but things will soon calm down once we’re on the country side. Thank you and enjoy the ride” he said with a slightly cheeky tone.

“You attached speakers into the back?” Christian asked Cyber while pointing at one of the speakers, “Yeah the radio in the main part is made for commutation with any other survivor like that guy earlier and it’s also used for letting people in this part know of the plans the driver has such as destination or where we are heading” Cyber explained, “Well that’s helpful” Zyker said, “Um... by the way did you install seatbelts into this part lad?” Kenny asked Cyber, “No! why?” Cyber asked, "Oooooooooooh boy..." everyone but Cyber said weakly.

Suddenly the group felt the Doom Truck start to speed up, “Whoa!” Cyber said falling off the seat, “Well I guess since we have ten minutes to get out of town. So Lash would have to drive like a madman” Lenny said as six minutes passed, “We’ve only got four minutes remaining!” Zade said looking at the time on his phone, “Smeg!” Lash said gritting his teeth, the truck swerved left and right avoiding crashed and parked cars that were scattered on the road.

“We’re almost out!” Zade said looking out of his window, the two could see military jet planes approaching the city, the truck had exited the city in the nick time just as the planes had fired a barrage of missiles at the city, and the group had also managed to get away from the impact zone, while driving the two looked into the rear-view mirror, to see the barrage of the missiles simultaneously hit the city.

Patrick lifted the back door up so the rest of the group could see Palmerston North be engulfed in a massive explosion, “Whelp there it goes” Lash said putting his eyes back on the road now that they out of harm’s way Lash slowed the truck down, “Well let’s continue. We’ve got a long way to go!” Zade said, the truck continued down south, as smoke of the now burning remains of Palmerston North rose to sky.

Chapter six: The Doom Truck!

"So Chuck, Bob, Bill and Bark didn't make it!" Zade said after Zeke told them what happened to the rest of Chuck's group, the group had found refugee inside HB-Hi-Fi, after Zeke had found resting after that little fight they had with the infected outside of the plaza, it was now 8:40 pm, "So what happened to them?" Lash asked, "Well when we were running to here, those four tried to back stabbed me but got swarmed by infected and were torn to shreds" Zeke said, "So... we couldn't of trusted them then?" Lash asked as he cleaned his mask and placed it back on his head a little above his eyes, "Probably not" Christian replied, the group spent the night sitting around doing nothing while Nevau and Eleana went out to try and find some food.

"Where are they? They should be back by now!" Meredith whined, "Be patient they're might be Zombies in here as well" Zyker replied, Zyker had foot mark on his face after he tried to leap hug Eleana but ended up kissing Lash's foot instead, "Well they're looking for food maybe they are looking for bags to carry the food!" Mystic said, "Why do they need to get bags, Nevau has one with him right?" Shade asked, "Uh Shade, who's bag do you think that is next to Patrick" Christian said pointing at a black bag, Everyone except Zade, Lash, Lyra, Christian, Zyker and Zeke(probably because he didn't care): "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!"

Nevau and Eleana had just got back to the safe area just as everyone screamed, "What happened?" Nevau asked, Everyone just looked at the him, and they all(except for Zeke and Vencen because of his broken leg) got up and rushed at Nevau with fist blazing, Nevau's eyes shot open and Eleana quickly got out of the way.

After everyone had beaten the crap out of Nevau later, "So what you guys get?" Patrick asked looking at the bags Eleana had placed down, "Subway!" Eleana said pulling out a wrapped up subway sandwich with a smile on her face, "Why subway?" Kenny asked, "Well we can't eat any of the food here, because there's a lot of blood out there!" Nevau said, "And why do think subway is a good option?" Zeke asked again, "Well when we went to the store there wasn't anyone there, no Infected or survivors, no blood, no debris, no smashed glass anything and we did a good look around too!" Eleana replied handing Sarah a sandwich, "Weird" Shade said, "You don't think the military did a broadcast in order to tell everyone to evacuate the city?" Lash asked Zade, "Probably" Zade replied.

"But where would they go?" Mystic asked as Eleana gave her a subway before giving Zeke a subway and so on, "Well they can't come here or else there would be a fuck ton of infected. Plus it'll probably end up like dawn of the dead so the only other place that would make a good safe zone for all those survivors would be a military base" Lash said taking a bite out of his sandwich, "Indeed" Zade said while nodding his head, "Is a military base near Palmerston?" Carl asked, "Yes. But it isn't big enough to hold a large group of people and the only one I can thin of is near Christchurch" Zade replied.

Everyone ate their subway while thinking of what to do next after a while, "We need to get out of Palmerston!" Mark said breaking the silence, "How?"

Shade angrily asked, "First how are we supposed to fit everyone in a car, and even if we get two, we would probably attracted too much attention!" Lash replied.

"Why worry about the infected!" Zeke said, "No there are other things we should also worry about besides the infected" Lash said, "And what's that?" Shizuka asked, "Thugs, Gang members, ex-military and cops. Those kinds of people they won't act kind if they saw us! They'll kill us and take what we have" Lash said, "So we should worry about other survivors as-well" Mystic said, "Exactly" Lash said nodding, "Well a truck would sound like a good vehicle. Probably won't break down after hitting four or five infected, and if we armor it up it should be pretty durable" Patrick said and everyone agreed, "We should try and find a military truck, should hold us all" Zade said, after everyone finished their dinner, they got up and left the store walked right up to the main doors.

Scarlet said reloading here gun, and taking the spare bullets with them just in case and continued down the street they walking down.

12:00 am; "We've finally found a truck!" Patrick said, "Not the kind of truck I was hoping for but it'll do" Zade said, the group after wondering down every street had found a Box truck parked in the middle of the road next to a gun store and a dairy, "Hey look a crowbar" Nevau said picking up a crowbar which was behind the truck, "I guess someone was trying to get into the back" Scarlet said, "Well it's locked!" Nevau said looking at the lock on the truck's clipart, "Here I'll have a go!" Patrick said as Nevau gave him the crowbar and with one whack of the crowbar, the lock on the clipart shattered into pieces.

Patrick then rammed the crowbar into the smile gap at the lifted the door up enough for Nevau to slide his fingers through, after that Nevau then pushed the door up with Patrick and the group got a peek on what's inside, "Ammunition and guns, by the looks of it!" Patrick said pulling out a ammo crate and a pistol, "Hey! I found the owner of the crowbar!"

Lash asked, "Sure" Nevau said passing Lash his crowbar, "Lash what are you doing?" Lenny asked, "Making sure he's dead!"

"I found a pistol with a bullet missing on that guy you re-killed" Patrick said, "Well let's hope this thing still has gas in it" Vencen said, "Alright let's hope it does. Everyone better get in cause this engine is gonna be loud!" Lash said hopping into the driver’s seat, and no one stopped him despite Zeke wanting too, "We need to get this thing armored up I know a mechanics shop shouldn't be too far from here" Zeke said, "Alright you're giving direction so hop into the passenger’s seat" Lash said, Mystic quickly hopped into the middle seat, then Zeke hopped into the passenger’s seat, the others, hopped into the clipart, Patrick was the last to enter, once he got in he closed the door behind him.

"Alright fingers crossed" Lash said turning the keys in the ignition once, the engine struggled to start but went off, a loud roar was heard, "they're coming" Mystic said, "Alright here we go again!" Lash said turning the keys a second time, but the results were the same as last time, the three then heard faint screaming and it was coming closer and fast, "Alright third time's the CHARM!!!" Lash yelled, turning the keys for the third, the truck’s engine roared to life "Yes!" the three shouted with joy.

Lash then put the gear stick into first gear, and the truck took off just as the three got a glimpse of Zombies running towards the truck, “Fast Zombies! Fuck this shit!” Lash yelled and slamming his foot on the clutch causing the truck to move faster, “Oh god...!” Zeke said getting motion sick, “Zeke what directions do go?” Lash asked Zeke, “Take a right…Now!” Zeke said giving Lash directions, the truck then took a sharp turn, “It’s a good thing we’re wearing seatbelts” Mystic said, “I don’t think seatbelts are going to help honestly Mystic!” Zeke said weakly.

Meanwhile in the back of the truck; “Whoa!” Patrick said trying to maintain his balance, “Looks like Lash’s taking some rocky turns!” Sarah said while sitting on one of the crates, “Yup.

Zyker saw Eleana looking at a photo and he got up and sat next to her, “Are you okay?” Zyker asked, “Huh? Yeah I’m fine” Eleana said smiling weakly, Zyker got a glimpse of the photo and saw a Young Eleana and her mother and father, “I'm sure that they're safe” Zyker said trying to comfort her, he also could tell that Eleana was not okay with the whole situation that was happening the Zombie apocalypse and everything going to absolute hell in just two days, he just remained silent until...

“Hey Zyker catch!” Nevau said throwing a metal baseball bat at Zyker, Zyker caught it, “Where’d you find this” Beaudene asked Nevau, “Me and Patrick are having a look in these crates, and it’s not just firearms or ammunition in here” Nevau said, “What else is there?” Christian asked, “Let’s see” Nevau mumbled, he pulled out a pistol and machete and handed it to Christian, then two more metal baseball bats and passed those to Shade and Kenny, some machetes and gave them to Meredith, Sarah, Mark, Carl, Lenny, Shizuka and Josh.

Patrick then pulled out construction hammer and placed it into his bag, Nevau then pulled out a sickle and passed it to Eleana, and finally Vencen pulled out a broadsword and place it over his shoulders, “Well we are going to need weapons to defend ourselves with” Patrick said, “Um... by the way what are we driving away from?” Shade asked, “Or it’s just Lash driving like a maniac again” Vencen said, “I don’t know I’ll check just in case” Shade said, he then walked up to the door and lifted it up a little to see fast Zombies chasing after truck...

“NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOPE!!!” Shade yelled before slamming the door down, "Oh great fast zombies. Because that's what we totally need in a Zombie outbreak! Zombies that know how to use their fucking legs!" Nevau growled, "Whelp it's a good thing we have a Lash!" Shade said walking away from the door and sitting down, "Hey look what I found!" Patrick said pulling out a rocket launcher, Shade got back up and opened the door, though he did this reluctantly, Patrick got down on one knee and looked through the scope, and fired.

Lash, Mystic and Zeke heard an explosion that came from behind the truck, they saw a bunch of Zombie limbs rain down onto the truck, "Oh great its raining limbs again" Lash said turning on the windshield wipers.

"Well lucky there were only six of them" Patrick said while putting the rocket launcher away as Shade closed the door and after a while the group felt the truck slow down before coming to a stop, they then heard a bang on the door and Mystic's voice calling out, "We're here everyone!" she said, Patrick then opened the door and everyone climbed out, "Where's Lash and Zeke?" Vencen said looking around, "They've gone inside to see if anyone is alive in there" Mystic said while pointing at the mechanics workshop.

Inside the workshop, "Man it's dark in here; I can barely see a thing!" Lash said while walking around aimlessly in the dark, "Well try and find the light switch then!" Zeke said right before he walked it to a locker, "Ow!" she growled in pain, suddenly the lights switched on, Lash started to rub his eyes when they did, but before he had the chance to ask Zeke if he was alright, Lash heard footsteps coming from behind him and he quickly drawed his katana and quickly spun around to face the person who was behind him.

"Bloody hell mate! Is that how you greet everyone!?" a man asked, when Lash's eye had fully adjusted to the light he could see the man's appearance quite clearly, the man was around about Lash's age, he had spiky wheat blonde hair that reach to the middle of his back and was tied up, he had orange eyes, he wore a blue and white sleeveless shirt, blue jeans that were held up by a belt, black and brown cuffed boots and blue gloves and spoke with an Australian accent.

"Who are you friend or foe?" Lash asked the man, "Name's Cyber and I am not your enemy!" Cyber said, after Lash told everyone that the workshop was safe and they had found a survivor, Patrick drove the truck into the workshop and everyone got acquainted with Cyber.

"So Phil is gone" Zeke said while drinking a cup of hot chocolate that Lash had made for everyone, "Yeah some soldiers came by two days ago and took him out of town too a military base near Christchurch!' Cyber replied, "I guess that's where we should head too. Who know maybe our parents are there" Mark said, "Yeah. But we're going to need to armor up the truck first" Zyker said, "Leave that to me" Cyber said he then got up and placed on a yellow mechanic's jumpsuit, white gloves, safety goggles, a white mask, he then proceeded, into the garage where the truck was resting, and closed the door behind him.

A couple hours had passed and Cyber exited the garage, “Everyone come have a look at your newly upgraded truck” Cyber said and everyone followed Cyber into the garage, “Whoa!” Shade said in amazement of the sight of the newly upgraded truck, the truck now had spikes attached to its wheel rims frontal piece and sides, the color had been changed to purple and black with tint of blue, and the words; Doom Truck were written on its sides, the front lights were repaired along with the front window.

when the group had a look on the inside of the clipart which had been combined with another clipart to fit more room for people and supplies, it had seats merged into the sides along with cupboards with steel door in order to hold their equipment along with a transportable fridge and oven, there was also a door leading to the drivers area of the truck, the main part of the truck remained the same, with the exception of new seats, and a little walk way for the door that lead to the clipart, there was also a radio hooked up on the CD player.

“Wow. Cyber how’d you do all this?” Scarlet asked, “Well Phil always said; I had a little talent for this line of work” Cyber said with a confident smile, “Um... why does it say Doom Truck on the sides?” Eleana asked, “It’s was his idea that I replace the words Earl’s Gun-shop with Doom Truck” Cyber said while pointing at Lash, “What? I thought it was an okay idea!” Lash said scratching the back of his head.

“Hello is anyone there?” A voice suddenly called out, “Where that come from?” Kenny asked, “It came for the radio” Cyber said walking towards a radio that was placed on his work bench, he put it on the speaker so the others could hear it, “Hello this Cyber” Cyber said speaking into the microphone part of the radio, “Thank Christ there are survivors where are you mates?” The voice asked, “Phil’s Workshop in Palmerston North” Cyber said, “What your still in Palmerston!?” the voice asked with a worried tone, “Yeah why are concerned apart from the obvious threat out there” Cyber said.

“Bloody hell... You lot need to get out of there and get to where I am!” The voice said, “Why and why should we trust you?” Cyber asked, “Because I have the transportation to get you off the Island but you need to get to where I am!” The voice said, “You didn’t answer my question why do we need to get out of Palmerston?” Cyber asked, “Because the military are going to drop bombs on the damn place!” The voice said, the group look at each other before looking back at the radio, “You have ten minutes!” The voice said before cutting out to static, “Well let’s not waste time” Lash said.

“I’m coming with you!” Cyber said, “Alright you’ve help us out and It’ll be kinda of rude if we left you here to die! But I wonder if the others are okay with it” Lash said, “Yeah it’s fine plus we might need a mechanic with us” Zade said with everyone else on an agreement, “Here’s the keys” Cyber said throwing the keys at Lash, Lash caught them and hopped into the driver’s seat, and Zade hopped into the passenger’s seat, while the other got into the clipart.

Once everyone was seated, Patrick closed the door and Lash turned the keys in the ignition and the engine roared to life and with that Lash drove the truck out of the workshop, “Where are we going?” Lash asked, “Down south to Christchurch!” Zade said winding down his window the gust of wind gently breeze on their skin, Lash grabbed the radio’s microphone and spoke into it, “Attention passengers we are heading south to Christchurch please make sure you have your seat belts on; because it’s going to be a slightly bumpy ride out the city, but things will soon calm down once we’re on the country side. Thank you and enjoy the ride” he said with a slightly cheeky tone.

“You attached speakers into the back?” Christian asked Cyber while pointing at one of the speakers, “Yeah the radio in the main part is made for commutation with any other survivor like that guy earlier and it’s also used for letting people in this part know of the plans the driver has such as destination or where we are heading” Cyber explained, “Well that’s helpful” Zyker said, “Um... by the way did you install seatbelts into this part lad?” Kenny asked Cyber, “No! why?” Cyber asked, "Oooooooooooh boy..." everyone but Cyber said weakly.

Suddenly the group felt the Doom Truck start to speed up, “Whoa!” Cyber said falling off the seat, “Well I guess since we have ten minutes to get out of town. So Lash would have to drive like a madman” Lenny said as six minutes passed, “We’ve only got four minutes remaining!” Zade said looking at the time on his phone, “Smeg!” Lash said gritting his teeth, the truck swerved left and right avoiding crashed and parked cars that were scattered on the road.

“We’re almost out!” Zade said looking out of his window, the two could see military jet planes approaching the city, the truck had exited the city in the nick time just as the planes had fired a barrage of missiles at the city, and the group had also managed to get away from the impact zone, while driving the two looked into the rear-view mirror, to see the barrage of the missiles simultaneously hit the city.

Patrick lifted the back door up so the rest of the group could see Palmerston North be engulfed in a massive explosion, “Whelp there it goes” Lash said putting his eyes back on the road now that they out of harm’s way Lash slowed the truck down, “Well let’s continue. We’ve got a long way to go!” Zade said, the truck continued down south, as smoke of the now burning remains of Palmerston North rose to sky.
