39 Getting Ready for a Roadtrip (2/2)

Christian: ”Yeah, right now I can just imagine how congested the roads and highways are with crashes and abandoned vehicles.”

Alex: ”Wait, how about we go by water? It will be at least 3-4 hours of travel on the ocean since most boats can only travel at around 30 to 50 miles per hour. Then, when we get there, the worst case scenario for us is to bike to Mama's gun shop if we couldn't find a car. It would be another 10 miles, which should take about another hour. Oh wait...”

Elon: ”Good math, but yeah... that will be at least 4 hours of travel at the fastest, making it an 8 hour round trip and we will probably be exhausted enough to feed the zombies when we get there.”

Christian: ”True. Gonna be pretty dead by then, Bro.”

Jay: ”I think we should go by car and maybe take some courses off the road if necessary. If we really get to a point when it's impossible to move forward, let's just head back. If Mama really didn't make it, then I'm the big brother that's in charge and I have to make sure nothing happens to any of you guys. I'm sure she wouldn't want us to put ourselves in so much danger.”

Alex, Christian, and Elon all nodded and they immediately went to prepare the supplies they would be bringing with them onto the trip.

Although it was planned to be a short day trip, no one could predict what will happen. So, just in case, they decided to bring a car full of ammo and supplies, especially their guns and 4 zombie afterbite packages. All they were planning to leave behind were a few more buckets of ammo, some canned and packaged food that wouldn't expire until next year, and the ”Don't Drop Here” device.

”Okay, we might need a car that runs on gasoline if we are planning to go offroad. We won't come across too many charging stations nor would we have the time to spend on waiting for the car to be charged,” Jay said.

”Hey what about my Honda Civ-” Christian was about to suggest the other car he bought that was parked in the garage.

”Too small, not comfortable if we are going to bring all this stuff,” Jay immediately replied.

”And it won't be powerful enough to pull a trailer. We are going to need it if we are bringing back Mama as well as the guns and ammunition at her shop,” Elon added.

”Let's go look around and look for an SUV, truck or van. Once we spot one in the driveway we can go to the owner and ask if we can borrow it,” Jay suggested.

Alex: ”Wait... what do you mean borrow it?”

Jay: ”It means ask nicely if they answer the door, or just break in, find the key and take the car if no one's answers.”

Christian: ”Sounds like a plan.”

The squad quickly traveled on foot down the street and located a typical soccer mom van that was parked in a house's driveway.

Knock knock.

”Hello? Anyone there?”

”Get the f*ck out or I'm going to shoot!” a man's voice shouted from inside the house.

Christian: ”Aight, I'm outta here.”

The group quickly left and went to the next SUV they saw.
