Outbreak Chapter 16: Splitting Up
After a couple days of minimal company traveling through less populated areas, I had almost forgotten how miserable it was to be in a crowd.
I remembered quickly.
When we set out for the shopping center, we seriously underestimated the amount of people that would have a similar idea. People were frantically running from store to store, trying to gather as much as they could. It was evident that these people had long since abandoned the notion of paying for their items. But at this point, who was there to stop them?
“Brian,” I started as we ran past a cleared-out convenience store, “we need to know what we’re looking for before we go into any of these stores. It’s going to be a frantic scramble to try to get anything from these places.”
“Alright then, what do we need then?”
“We need to try to find food, preferably canned, water, any kind of weapons and ammunition, first aid equipment, and anything else you can get your hands on.”
“I think we need to split up then. Cover more ground. There’s no way we’re going to be able to get all of this stuff if we all go together,” Amy said.
“No, we can’t split up,” I replied. “We can’t afford to lose track of anyone.”
“She’s right, Brett. Splitting up is looking like our best option right now.”
“Alright, fine. I’ll cover weapons and ammo, Brian, you find the first aid equipment, and Amy, you try to get us some food. We need to meet back by this store in one hour, regardless of what you have. Don’t linger. Hopefully Zac will meet us here by then.”
“Got it,” said Brian and Amy together.
“I’ll see you both in one hour.”

First of all, credit for the shopping cart design goes to the brilliant Michael Jasper (mijasper). There really isn't any better option for shopping carts since his is so perfect :P
Second of all, happy Thanksgiving to you guys! Hope you all have a nice day :)
