How to survive the equestrian wasteland.... As a zombie
So... This happened
Previous ChapterWhile i was walking/running and definitely not wetting myself, away from that monstrosity, i found myself in a forest, or what once was a forest that now was full of dead trees rotting away.
I had to jump over them just to get me away from that thing.
"The hell was that?!" I thought "it was as huge as a...a i don't remember what it is but it's tall as that"
When you mix jumping over dead trees and thinking of something else and not paying attention to what you are doing you could face plant on a stone. And that's what happened to me.
I tripped because my boot hit one of the rocks that were on the ground and i face planted on a rock, i then heard a cracking sound when my face hit the stone.
"Ugh who put that rock there?" I asked seemingly no one. "This is getting ridiculous, me just tripping over everything and breaking everything. Well at least it cant be worse than this"
Then i suddenly heard a roar a from somewhere behind me and i froze. "Well shit"
I quickly got up and started running in the opposite direction of the roar.
A few minutes passed, of me running away from the roaring thing and nearly (NOT) pissing myself again.
Suddenly i was out of the dead forest and i was on a hill. I looked around to see if i would find anything where i could loot or get some cover, and surprisingly i did, a small town that was in really good condition "I hope i can get something good from there" i thought and headed that way.
I stopped when i saw a sign that read "Welcome to ~~ponyville~~ TARTARUS" The word ponyville was crossed out and the word tartarus was written in what i assume is blood.
"The hell is tartarus?" I thought of it for a minute but when i remembered nothing of that word i went into the small town.
The first buildings that i saw we're a still somehow alive tree that was a building, i don't know how it's still alive if you live inside of it and all this radiation but i ain't a scientist and how would i know that it could survive that kind of crap.
The other buildings that i saw looked all the same. Hay roofs and wooden walls that we're all painted the same, well if you don't count in all the random blood splatter and all the headless bodies lining the walls.
"I think it would be better to be inside" i thought. I slowly and silently went into the tree/house thingy.
When i opened the doors i found out that this was a library emphasis on the word was, because it was now a slave camp or something like that. There was also balls of meat hanging from the ceiling. Why do they remind me of meatballs? There we're cages lined up against the walls and inside there was those horse people, they all looked starved and half dead.
There was a cage hanging from the ceiling as well but i didn't see what was in there.
I then went behind some random scrap that was in the corner so nobody would see me. I believe that the guys that owned this place and these slaves would come back any minute.
A few minutes passed in silence while i was saying "any minute" in my head over and over again.
"Any minute now..." I thought. I had been sitting in this corner for about half an hour and i nearly fell asleep.
An hour passed while i was in the corner behind all the junk. Then suddenly the door to the library opened and i heard a rough voice talking about something.
"You know that we need them rose" said a black furred and dark blue mained horse thing, he was wearing leather armor and was carrying a double barrel shotgun.
"But i need one to satisfy my needs~" said a female horse when she stepped in the library. Her fur was pink-ish and her mane was blue, she was also wearing leather armor and carried a pistol.
They went upstairs while still continuing talking about how the slaves shouldn't be molested and fluffed.
I got up as quietly as i could from my hiding place, i glanced at the slavers and looked around again to see if there was anything worth taking from this room.
I then spotted a door to my left when i was done looting. I got a bobby pin and 3 bottle caps. I then went to the door, slowly opened it and hoped that the door wouldn't make any noise when opening it.
Luckily it didn't and i went in the room.
It was a kitchen and a dining room, a few chairs and a table to my left and a cooking station to the right of me. I saw another one of the horse creatures stirring something that was in a pot in front of her.
I slowly pulled out my combat knife and started advancing on the unsuspecting target. Well untill one of the floor boards broke and my foot went through it.
When she turned i saw that her coat was blue and her mane was yellow, she was also wearing leather armor like everyone else in this damned library. The only weapon she had though was a wooden spoon.
"Intruder!" She yelled "Well shit" i thought.
I ripped my foot out of the planks and threw my knife at her.
But of course the it missed. I pulled out my gun, unloaded two bullets in her head and reloaded. "49 left" i thought.
Then the door was kicked open and the guy with a shotgun shot two times at me, i didn't get in cover in time and i got hit on my left hand.
"Well thank the gods that it didn't hit my head." I thought.
I ran behind the table and kicked it on its side and got cover.
"Damn you! That was my favorite table!" The female shouted at me when she shot it.
They we're getting cover from the other room and shooting me from the door.
Then what scared me shitless was when the guy shouted "Grenade!" I ran to the room where they were in and just saw when he pulled the pin off the grenade. I shot the guy and jumped behind a cage that had sheets over it.
The crenade exploded just a few seconds after i jumped here, blood and guts flew across the room coating nearly everything in blood.
I then got up and looked from behind my cover and checked that there wasn't anybody else in the room that wanted to kill me.
When i saw that there wasn't anyone alive anymore i got out of my cover and went to loot the corpses. The only things that i found from them that weren't broken or rusted were the guys shotgun and some bottle caps.
Then i went into the kitchen to look around if there was anything that i could loot, i went next to the corpse and grabbed all of her bottle caps.
I looked around for anything else i could loot from here and saw a safe.
When i approached it i thought that this could be a trap, but because i killed all of the others i thought that i was safe, for now at least.
When i tried to open it i found out that it was locked. "Mother fucker" but then i remembered that i had a bobby pin and i tried to open it with that and a screwdriver that i found next to it.
It took me a few minutes but i succeeded on opening the safe and when i looked in there i smiled for the first time.
"Oh hell yeah"
Pov change ???
I was looking for any sign of life through my snipers scope, i haven't seen anything or anyone except my fellow raiders coming here.
"I hope nopony came here when i accidentally fell asleep on guard duty" i thought while checking how much ammo i had.
I then heard hoofsteps behind me and thought that somepony was going to come here and take the lookout shift, but when i suddenly heard that lilly shouted "Intruder!" I jumped up and opened the door behind me and then went into the bedroom, i got cover behind the old and moldy bed that had just enough room between the wall and it that i could get even a little cover.
I pulled my revolver out and waited. I did hear that shade shouted grenade and then an explosion was heard and everything went quiet.
After a few minutes i heard hoofsteaps coming upstairs, i thought that it was a good idea to keep myself hidden and then strike if it wasn't shade or rose.
The being came closer to me and stopped when it was on the other side of the bed.
Suddenly a something grabbed me by the neck and pulled me up. I was looking at the wall at the time so i didn't see who picked me up.
I aimed my revolver at the attacker but he grabbed the gun out of my hands and threw it across the room.
"What is this place?" A deep voice asked me. "Why in tartarus would you want to know?" I asked.
"Because i don't know where the hell i am" The voice said. "You are in the commonwealth, dumb ass"
"The commonwealth, huh?" He then turned me around and i saw his face it was like the death itself was looking at my very soul (image him with more modern armor) he then smiled. "Well goodbye" he said and put a 10mm pistol in my mouth. The last thing i saw was the most scariest smile i have ever seen.
Pov shift back to me
"Well at least i know where i am now" i said and dropped the now dead body on the already bloody floor.
I went to the balcony and found a sniper laying on the floor. I picked it up and put it in my inventory, i don't know how it works but when i just slid the weapons on my back they vanish and then i see that they go in my pip-colt i need to stop calling it that. Maybe I'll call it a pip-boy from know on? Yeah that sounds better.
I went downstairs to the cages and pulled out my pistol from my inventory.
I looked in one of the cages and saw a starved horse creature that looked that it was only 10 to 11 years old, it had a blue mane and it's fur was brown. The only thing he was wearing we're a dirty white t-shirt, well you can't say that its a t-shirt because it looks more like a piece of cloth to me, he also had white trousers on.
"h-help please" said the small horse. I aimed my pistol at the lock on the door of the cage, the horse curled up into a ball, maybe because it thought that i was going to shoot it.
I shot the lock off and opened the gate. "You're free, now skidaddle before i change my mind" i said and went to open another cage.
It took me few minutes to shoot all the locks off from the doors and now i was down to 40 bullets in my pistol.
Now i was sitting on a chair in the corner trying to get all the bullets out of my left hand. "Jesus how many bullets did you unload into my hand" i said while glancing at the dead guy who had the shotgun.
I then looked at all the horse creatures sitting in the opposite corner of where i was. "Why haven't they left already?" I thought.
Then one of the children i freed walked up to me and looked at me with wonder in his eyes. I believe that i was the first slave that i freed.
"I am going now" i said to the slaves. I don't think anyone really cared
I got up and started heading out. I opened the door and stepped outside, but before i got to shut the door the kid shouted "Wait!"
I turned around and looked at him.
"Can i come with you?"
Author's Note
I know i know its rushed.
But i really don't have that much of time on my hands because my schedule is packed with stuff that i need to do.
And also remember that the ponies have never seen a zombie in their lives, only ghouls.
And ghouls aren't dead, they just look that way because of radiation, while zombies are walking corpses.
