Capítulo 3: An Encounter

It was the next day.

Yawning from waking up I checked my side bag finding out there was only a quarter of blood left in the bottle.

Getting used to drinking blood I could adjust how far my eyes could see now and handle the taste.

I was hoping that today I could find a few blood bags or at least some empty blood bags to keep the blood fresh. So I decided to leave the building and find some.

Standing putting my side bag on and my rifle on the back of me I go down the broken stairs one by one. After leaving the building I walked over a couple streets down.

There was a store there so I went into the store checking the shelves. There were some cans which would've been useless if I didn't find a can opener on the shelf next to me.

"Pretty convenient.".

Sitting down on the ground I opened one of the cans and found out that there were beans inside. The label was worn out so much that I couldn't tell.

"It's better than nothing.".

There was nothing wrong with beans, I was just hoping there would be better food.

Eating the beans I thought that it tasted better than the drinks I had.

After I was done eating I got up walking around behind the counter to see if there was anything else. Just as I was about to go around the counter I hit something on the ground. Looking down down there was a human skeleton on the ground behind the counter.

I was thinking it would be a bother to think about how this person died so I just thanked the skeleton for the food which this person was taken care of long ago.

After leaving the store I thought to myself that the hospital was the closest place that would have blood bags. There were mutants there but I still had to go to find the blood bags.

Running towards the hospital I could smell stenches of different mutants killing each other besides those that were the most similar to each other.

I thought it would be better to sneak in through the back door since it's better than fighting the annoying mutants like the Red mutant that I saw before in the front.

So walking around the hospital quietly was the best choice I could make to get inside from the back. After a few minutes of walking around, I hurried since I was almost there. And as I turned around the corner a shadow hovered over me.

"Oh, you got to be f**king kidding me.".

The Red mutant was right between me and the door. It was too late since it already noticed I was here.

Suddenly a flashback of meeting my first mutant came to me. Back then before the world ended I almost died when half of my body was eaten by that Red mutant. The only abnormal thing was its big size and its red skin color.

It was much more of an annoyance than frightening since I had to crawl on the dirty ground full of blood of the remains of others that were eaten alive by the mutants.

The blood gets everywhere on me, even in my mouth.

Since that day I found out that I was germaphobic. I haven't liked getting dirty since then.

If I get dirty then so be it, but if I could avoid that situation I would.

While I was dying at that time I didn't get to even have a flashback of the life I've lived until now. I was getting hit by bones and blood as I was dying which was more annoying since I was about to die.

The bones were getting spewed out by the 1st form of Infecta at that time.

As if it was saying fuck you to me as it disappeared into thin air when it ate the person it was coming for.

The Red mutant ran at me when I came back from my little flashback.

"Oh fuck.".

With my body's reaction, I tried to quickly move to the side. It was too late as I got hit on the side of my stomach, bones cracking as it hit me flying to the other side of the street with its massive swing. I hit the wall bouncing off it spewing out blood mid-air.

The Red mutant didn't stop as it started to run. I quickly moved out of the way barely avoiding it and fell as I dodged it. The mutant went through the wall as the building crumbled blocking itself in.

I got up using only my right hand since my left arm was broken from the impact of the wall. Even with my side and basically everything hurting, Running towards the backdoor was my only chance of escaping.

Roaring loudly it tried to get out as It was smashing and swinging its way out as some big chunks of rocks from the building landed right next to me as I ran.

From my eye view as I got closer to the door I didn't realize that the rocks were landing next to me. My vision became blurry as blood dripped down my eye.

Getting closer to the door I braced myself to smash the door. I hit the door slamming it open wide, falling and sliding on the floor until I hit the wall on the other side of the door.

The door slams itself back shut.

Coincidently my side bag came off as I fell with it hitting me right in the stomach which made the pain worse. My vision was blurry but I knew where my bag was.

With the last of my strength, I dug through the bag and found the bottle of blood.

My fingers shook uncontrollably while trying to open the cap as I was bleeding from the inside. Lifting it towards my mouth slightly tilting it into my mouth the last bit of blood drips down the edge of the bottle dropping onto my tongue.

I went conscious, unable to do anything anymore, closing my eyes.
