Our group moved slowly through the hallways of the airship avoiding any of the creatures that were avoidable but I had to kill two of them when they spotted us after they turned down our hall. I learned a new trick for my inventory thanks to these creatures; the first is that I can automatically load the crossbow by controlling where the bolt comes out from my inventory, I also learned that my inventory can become a weapon if I used it properly. The range of it is limited to six meters but it’s a sure fire way to kill the creatures quickly, after maneuvering through several hallways we finally found a map of the airship. When I looked at it my map rang in my head followed by a hollow gram of the map floating in my vision with hundreds of red dots and about 150 survivors scattered around the ship, the problem I had is that there was a dark crimson marker in the bridge which really didn’t set well with me.
“If we go through the hanger we can get to the bridge faster and less likely to run into too many corrupted.” (Old Man)
“Let me ask you something, what are we going to do if there is a corrupted in the bridge or even worse a evolve corrupted?” (Me)
“….” (Old Man)
“Oh thanks good talk.” (Me)
“Well we could pick up some gear in the hanger, there might not be an actual gun but there should be a ark welder and besides it’s more reliable than that antique of yours.” (Russian Soldier)
“Save a person’s life and they insult the weapon you use, I can already tell this will be a wonderful trip.” (Me)
“Jack meant no offense but still how did you even get that onto the ship?” (Old Man)
“Well I shoved it up my ass of course, don’t you know it’s the safest place you can hold things like this when you get locked up.” (Me)
“I was being serious.” (Old Man)
“I had a lot of time by myself and this was one way I kept myself busy now do you have any other irrelevant questions old man.” (me)
“No not yet you brat.” (Old Man)
I think I hurt his feelings; oh well it’s not my problem if he’s butt hurt, but the arc welder Jack mentioned is a good plan. The halls were quiet for the most part but I still had to seal one of the halls shut, the bloody things were everywhere but I was also criticized thanks to the fact that one of the corrupted creatures prey was still alive and I left him/her to suffer. I would think that I would be thanked for making our lives easier but no they had to shove their morals onto me, I swear I thought this was the apocalypse shouldn’t they be more self-serving? The hanger was really wrecked but it only had two corrupted creatures so it wasn’t that difficult to deal with but still don’t they know how to clean up after themselves, I know they are flesh eating monsters but still you should have some standards.
Jack looked around for the arc welder which was a hand held mini torch which could be adjusted between a flame thrower to an concentrated flame which would be useful in the future. We decided it was best for everyone that I checked out the bridge and relay back to them but when I say ‘we’ I mean them, the bastards just keep making things difficult for me, I better get something worth all this trouble. Making sure I had my crossbow ready I pushed the door open; inside was a mutant but it was bigger, it was spazzing out smashing a corpse with a creepy laugh like moans which was just wrong in so many levels, I lined up the shot and pulled the trigger only to have my world fucked in all directions. The arrow hit the creatures head but it just bounced off like a bee trying to sting a rock; the corrupted creature turned towards me with a smile on its face only to charge at me.
“Fuc…” (Me)
It shoulder checked me causing me to fly back losing my crossbow in the process, I had a soft landing on the cold steel of the wall you can really tell it was soft from the cracking of my ribs. Before I could pick myself up the creature lifted me up by the neck followed by it bringing it’s mouth closer to my jugular.
“god… you… need… a …. Tic-tac.” (Me)
I shoved the arc welder into the creatures mouth and turned it on full blast, the creature lit up like a Christmas tree on Christmas eve followed by me flying again and it screaming as it burnt alive from the inside out. I hit the railing of the balcony followed by a landing on some crates; I groaned as I turned my head only to see the group staring at me and the creature which was now pounding against the wall trying to relieve the pain. The creature hit the wall once again but this time it finally ended its own life, the air smelled of burnt decaying flesh as I turned my attention back to the useful group that has been cheering me on from the safety of their corner.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
“I know I’m awesome but can someone please help me THE FUCK out?!” (Me)
The old man was brought out of his stupor followed by the other two, jack and the new guy lent me their shoulders as we made our way to the bridge but was abruptly stopped by the new guy losing his lunch which smelled even better with the human paste in the center of the world. The old man got into the flow of things as he gave the two orders while I was set at the gun controls, the system put the information I needed into my head as I started clearing the hallways that were displayed on the screen followed by several notifications but I ignored them as I relieved the stress of the day. As I watched the last of the corrupted creatures I felt regret, I didn’t get to enjoy myself yet, the old man confirmed that all of the corrupted creatures were cleared out but I checked my map to see if it was truly clear. Once I saw that the entire ship was cleared I finally sighed followed by looking over the new notification.

“Well it was a blast but I need some rest so if you guess don’t mind, I’ll take my leave but I suggest cleaning up the corpse before another infestation happens.” (Me)
“Your not helping?” (Jack)
“Oh yah I’ll be so helpful with several broken ribs and a concussion, what do you think I can barely move as it is.” (Me)
“Rooms are outside to the left I’m sure their occupants won’t need them anymore, we’ll call you if we need anything.” (Old Man )
“I appreciate it old ….” (Me)
“My name is frank.” (Angry old man)
“Alright old man frank, have fun.” (Me)
I could hear Frank grumble under his breath but didn’t say anything after; stumbling down the hall and into the room I laid down on the bed letting my broken body rest, I took to many risks today if I was any slower I would have died by now which is a no go for me. If I die I will be locked out of here for the rest of my life with no way of coming back; I shouldn’t be complaining so much after all this is a new chance for me, if I keep complaining like this it will become a habit of mine, well let’s just check what I gained from this whole adventure.

Oh yay I’m on deaths door!!! I knew I should have been more conscious when facing something that can dent metal with a love tap; I don’t have any medicine or any other medical supplies so we have to go the all-natural route, Dumping four hundred into my body steam started to roll off of me as I felt my muscles destroy themselves then get replaced over and over along with all the injuries being healed, the pain was tearing my mind apart but it wasn’t as much as what I had to deal with in the real world. Pushing through the pain I finally felt my body settle as I received several messages giving me a bright smile that could blind the blind.
