Day 19

Traveling along the interstate we encountered few problems at all. It was when we pulled off to rest is when we encountered the worst ambush of the trip thus far. We've been staying close to the interstate when we did pull off but did go deep enough to scavenge anything we can find.

We had pulled off for the night, it was late afternoon so there was still plenty of daylight left. The town seemed deserted enough. There was a large Wal-Mart store near the exit so we thought we'd go in there and find what we could find.

The parking lot was a mass of abandoned and bloodied cars and trucks. The glass doors were broken out and it was dark inside. Just the sight alone set my skin crawling. Before anyone could really say much some of the survivors from the trailer park attack piled out of the RV and started to go into the store. Just that fast Willie, one of the older men from the park was tackled just inside the doors. They swarmed onto him and started to rush out of the store towards us.

Pouring out towards our parked vehicles they came. Running, this wasn't an ambush attack they were just laying in wait for victims to wonder by like a spider in a web. Before we could get loaded back up stragglers were being picked off.

Before he could get far Brent was set upon, Shauna started back towards him when Nathan looped a large arm around her and told her to get back into the RV. A.J. and I got back into the driver's seats of our rigs, Mark manned the seat of the RV. Billy opened fire at the closest attackers. Ryan followed suit. Nathan, running back towards the rig was firing at the infected, parts of them went flying in red mist behind them.

The RV was already moving back towards the interstate. A.J. was loaded back up and headed that way too. Nathan jumped onto the side of my rig, hanging on to the handhold and as we started to pull away.

We lost two people in that attack. Two too many, it was unnecessary and reckless of us. The danger is present even this far into the interior of the country, it'll get worse as we get closer to the coast. Much worse.

Hope we have enough ammo.
