Animals show no interest in eating undead flesh a dog was force fed a small piece of undead flesh and expired with in 20mins

All animals show an instinctive fear of the undead prefering to run rather than face them

A dog was allowed to be bitten by subject 4 the dog had similar symptoms to a bitten human and died with in the hour no reanimation.

Study's of bacteria eating at the undead flesh has yielded startling resuilts. There are none. Normally a dead body would be broken down quickly due to the immune system not being active to protect it, itis quite possible that it could take decades before they simply disintegrate.

I put the files down "I'm in here you know" Jon looked over at the file "Crow?" "What did you choose?" "Bear" "Because your big and grumpy?" "You chose Crow  because of your skinny legs?" We both laughed.

10pm

We were a third of the way to the trapped survivors we had called in our position to Kane he was not happy with our progress "You need to move quicker" "You don't like it you fucking drive" Jon shouted back at the radio after listening to my music all day he was not in the best of mood's "How dare you speak to me like that" "What are you gonna do about it? You going to come get us?" "Just get there Kane out" The radio went to static "Bringing good will to yet another boss I see how did you never get that customer services job?" Jon chuckled "What do you think this a good place to stop?" We had arrived at a small farm that seemed clear of undead there was a large corrugated steel barn next to a small single storey farm house the door's to the barn were open Jon slowly drove in. Cow's or sheep had been in here at one point the place stank of manure and pens were set up Jon turned us around so we faced the entrance I cautiously got out and shut the barn door's and climbed back in. We had a dinner in the back of the Jeep we opened the sun roof to let the smoke out from the small stove we used to cook the mre's meatballs in pasta suprisingly good and a few energy bar's. I went to sleep as Jon took 1st watch we swapped at 3am.

8AM

I opened up the barn door's and Jon drove the Jeep out I looked over at the farm house and wondered if it would be worth looking inside for supplies I dismissed the idea we had everything we needed no sense in risking it as I was about to get in "Did you see that?" Jon asked "See what?" I climbed back in and shut the door "The curtain moved" "Oh really go look then you are seeing things if people were here they would have come out to say hi or yell at us or try to kill us" "They could be scared I'm gonna go look" I sighed and we both got out the car and wandered over to the house. Jon walked to the front window amd looked in I headed for the front door and knocked "Hello were alive and don't want to eat you honest but if you want to eat us then feel free to stay inside" Their was a bang against the door "Jon" I whispered he came over the bang came again "Can you hear me we don't want to hurt you we can take you some where safe" Then that horrible moan came from inside "Oh never mind then see you later" Dissapointed we headed back to the Jeep we climbed in checking the back 1st of course I have seen enough movies to know that they always climb in when you are not looking not this time though. Jon put his music on and we headed North.          

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Through the Fire and Smoke

It took us another 36 hours to get close to the survivors as we got closer to the area the dead were almost non existant but we would soon get an explaination for that. We emerged in the Jeep through the woods on a steep hill. It was 6pm and we were half a mile away from the survivors camp. All the dead in the area seem to have gathered around their fortress the cars were stacked 10 high on all sides they were holding but their was no way out. We radioed Kane and were ordered to act immediatley he would inform the survivors what we were going to attempt to do. We worked quickly setting up the fire works at the top of the hill tieing the fuses together so we could set off large amounts with less effort. We got back in the Jeep and sped down the hill at such a speed I thought we would turn over. We reached the bottom and headed towards the sea of undead I reached into the back and pulled out a megaphone Jonturned on the radio The warrior boomed loudly as the 1st few dead started to pay attention I stuck my head out of the sun roof "Hello Manchester how are you this evening?" It seemed that thousands of undead eyes turned at once with disbelief to what they were seeing I looked at Jon "Switch to the stuff that will really piss them off. Jon laughed the warrior stopped playing and The Spice Girls Tell me what you want boomed out. A great moan came from the crowd and they advanced "Told you it would work" I shouted to Jon to make myself heard "Yeah but will we survive it?" "I would take my chances with the dead rather than the Spice girls" Jon burst in to hysterics. We drove round the entire compound with the music and megaphone like the pied paper with a tale of undead following "Hello Sir you look hungry this evening would you like a snack? Follow us! And you and you er not you it look's like you have had enough! No shoes no shirt no arms no legs no brains we will still serve you come on" After about 10 mins we started to back up to the hill the dead following us the radio crackled "Boys?" "Yes Boss what can we do for you" "Is that the Spice Girls?" "Yes Sir we decided to use the WMD enticement wouldnt you chase us to turn that crap off?" Kane chuckled "The commander is reporting that large numbers of the undead are moving away from the wall the plan is when enough have moved away they are going to evacuate to other safe locations you just need to kee them away" "Got it boss we are just about to set off the fireworks" "Good luck" "Please Boss it's us" "Hmm" He hung up. The dead were now closing in on the base of the hill so we headed up I jumped out and ran to the fire works setting off huge piles of them. The sky erupted with rockets and flashes as I jumped back in and we sped back down the hill and 200 metres ahead of the closes dead the fire works would lure the dead closer to us they would see the car then pursue us the undead behind would follow their friends due to there instinct "Come on people we don't have all night come get us?" I blared through the megaphone, the undead continued forward. 

We lured the undead through several fields about 6 miles from the stronghold. Jon had periodacly thrown out more fireworks to keep their attenton, the radio crackled "The commander informs me they are starting the evacuation how are things their boy's?" I pulled out the map and checked our location "Er we can lure them away for another 3 miles easily  boss after that we could end up backed into a corner against the river if they keep going their current speed you have about an hour and a half to get everyone out before we need to leave" "O.K good work contact me if anything changes" "No prob" 

Nothing changed that night my voice was horse from shouting down the mega phone the dead continued to follow and eventually we got confirmation that the survivors had escaped we left the fields and the undead and sped off so the horde could not follow.

We were in high spirits on our way home we were hero's Kane and Stan both been in contact to congratulate us and added they hope we would see sense and return to Hastings. We said we would see but 1st we needed to stop home.

11AM

We pulled up outside the flat's something was wrong the reinforced door was open. We entred and closed the door behind us Jon had the handgun Stan had given us before we left. We entred the 1st floor their had been a battle here bullett holes every where bodies undead and human were on the floor I recognised a few from the court house they had attacked whilst we were gone. We cleared the floor all dead no one we knew. I gave Jon a boost up to the next floor and he helped me up. We kicked open the door to Jack's workshop everything was as we left it but no one was here. There were a few more bodies all human and had been shot in the head. The cupboard that had linked the floors where the staircase had been was now gone so we had to jump across Jon went 1st I took my jump I stumbled but Jon grabbed hold of my coat and helped steady me "Cheer's dude" "No worries" "What the hell happened?" "I counted at least 78 people at the court house and I counted 36 human bodies here and some of the zombies I recognise from there to could be at least 50 of them" "So what they attacked we shot a few they turned and started killing each other?" "Maybe" "Well maybe everyone is up here" "I rang Toby's phone no response Ty's phone no response. Dam. We had to force the door open as there was a body behind it. We checked it. He was from the court. 51? We cleared the room's from left to right Janes room was a mess blood and more bodies Duke jumped out and ran towards us scared out of his mind he started to bark "Shh" Jon soothed him we poured Duke some water and food and continued on with our search
