The End Of Life Chapter 123

*THIRD PERSON POV*
Mark sighed, looking at the soldier's unconscious body. He turned towards David and knocked his head, motioning him to treat him. As he also observed the state of the soldier, he noticed the shoulder sling and several cuts on his body.
"So, how is he?"
David, while still doing some examinations, answered, "Well, one thing is that he will live. But there are multiple glass shards in him which should be robed and also a case of a dislocated shoulder. I need a few things from the pharmacy. Overall, he will be ok after a day or two rest." Turning towards Mark at the end.
Mark grunted, hearing the diagnosis of his situation. His original plan was to find the camp as soon as today and get the device quickly so that they can go back. But now their only way to the camp isn't in the best state to take them there.
"Well, it seems like we need to find a place for the night to stay so this guy can wake up to take us there. So first let's go to a medical store and stock up for whatever you need to patch him up." Turning towards the wheel. The rest also get seated and Mark drives out of the alleyway.
Slowly making his way, the car reaches a pharmacy where only Kevin and David get down to get some supplies. Mark looked out of the window, into the street, and noticed a sign at the end of the street showing the direction to a county.
Mark smiled seeing the board and decided to stay in the county at night. After Kevin and David got into the jeep, Mark started the jeep once again and drove towards the county according to the directions and reached the county.

Going through the open gate, they start to notice the open two-story houses and the zombies on the road. As Mark continued to look around and drive, they finally decided on a proper villa before stopping in Infront of it. Getting their guns and exiting the jeep, Mark and Kevin carry the soldier inside, while Suzie kills any zombies near them with her newly found superhuman strength.
Entering and sweeping the zombies inside, they place the guy inside a room with David taking care of him. As David was doing that, Mark and the others started closing the whole house. After closing all the doors and windows, they started to search the two-story house for anything they could use.
Mark entered the master bedroom on the first floor, looking around. He noticed a family picture of three people, a man, a woman, and also a little girl. Closing the picture, he continued to search the room.
As he did, he stumbled on the various clothes thrown in the room and caught the wall for support. But as he did, he noticed something strange. The sound from the wall was different. It was hollow. Knocking a few times, he noticed it was really hollow with something inside it.
Moving back, he gathered his strength and punched the wall, forming a nice fist-sized hole into it. Looking inside, he noticed it was a medium-sized safe. The others in the house also ran up noticing the commotion and saw the hole in the wall with the safe.
Mark noticed them and grinned. He looked at Suzie and beckoned her over, pointing at the wall. Suzie understood and punched right at the wall, destroying the rest part of the wall which covered the safe. Taking out his gun, he shoots it at the lock, forming a nice hole into it.

Opening the safe, he noticed the stacks of money, which were completely useless for their current predicament. Cleaning out the money, he finally noticed a suitcase and dragged it out. Opening the case, he noticed two neatly placed premium handguns, the Desert Eagle Mark XIX with four magazines. The Desert Eagle Mark XIX was very powerful compared to his present Beretta, which he is using.
Mark slowly took one gun into his hands as he ran over it, feeling the nice gun which he tried before. Placing the gun down, he took out one of the magazines and noticed the bullets for the gun were actually 357 Magnum, which only holds nine rounds in a single magazine.
He sighed, seeing very few bullets for a nice gun. He took out both the guns and their magazines before keeping them with him and throwing the suitcase away. Turning towards the rest, he gave a nod and said, "We can't use these because the bullets aren't many. We can only hold on to them for now."
The rest nodded as they continued to search around the house for more. Mark searched closer for any hidden safes like this throughout the house. Although they found one in a guest bedroom, it was only full of cash and no guns. They noticed the sun was going down and covered the windows.
They didn't want any unwanted attention because of the few lights they might use at night, which would cause a huge attractive factor for the zombies roaming around at night. They closed up the rooms they might use, which was the room with the soldier resting in and another room big enough for the rest of them. They also closed the kitchen as they would cook.
Completing all the preparations for the night, Mark looked at David who was coming out of the room the soldier was in and asked, "How is he?"
David gave a nod before answering, "He is fine and resting. I removed the glass shards and stopped the blood from seeping out for now. He should wake up tomorrow morning at the earliest."
Mark could only give a nod to it and cooked with the help of Suzie. Finding a few instant noodles and other items such as eggs and spices, they decided to simply cook up some egg noodles for all of them.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
