Chapter 49: Legends die (part 14)

Rat whistles at Riley who is inspecting his large pile of corpses. "What do you want?!" Riley yells across the field at the people gawking at him. "I wanted to show you something Ri!" Rat yells. Riley groans and walks to meet his brother. "What is so important to make me stop looting the bodies for supplies?" Riley asks. "While we were looking for metal and supplies when we noticed a pretty hefty smell coming from the highway." Rat points his finger at the map on the table of the highway. "And im going to fucking guess that smell belongs to the zombies." Riley says. "Yup they are moving along the highway towards the city but they are going to pass the prison on their way to the city." Rat says dragging his finger along the highway. "Lance get your ass over here!" Riley yells. "We can deal with this without that ass hat." Rat says. "What part of me teaching and investing in other settlements and communities is not getting into your thick fucking skull?" Riley says staring at Rat. "sorry dude." Rat says as Lance arrives. "What is it?" Lance says tiredly. "There is a horde coming to kill all of you." Riley says boredly. Lances face turns pale and his mouth opens several times as he tries to find words. "Oh well that's not good." he finally manages. "Why not?" Riley asks stunning everyone. "Dude we have plenty of practice being badasses ourselves and the fact we could smell them before we saw them means there are way too many to deal with." Rat says staring at Riley. "Me and 4 young children fought off a horde that was in the thousands until they came to you and we weren't able to prepare ahead of time but this time we are and zombies always bring loot with them and loot keeps people alive." Riley says staring at Rat. "we need more guns and bullets there isn't much really we can do about that Riley." Lance says. Riley frowns and nods his head. "Lets see about that." Riley says marching over to the people of Camelot taking a lunch break. "Listen up you stupid fucks everyone here is about to die so are you happy?" Riley asks sitting on a table. The chatter is instantly silenced and the people watch Riley. "A large horde is traveling along the highway that runs behind this prison and will be here soon enough to kill, rip, tear, and eat all of you isn't that great?" Riley asks. "Are you being funny?" the blacksmith asks. "Not at all I'm being completely serious why do you not want to die?" Riley asks looking at all of them. "Of course we don't help us!" a woman cries at Riley ensuing a mass of panic and fear as they plea. "Shut the fuck up!" Riley roars. "Then kill the horde if you want to live." Riley says after everyone gets quiet. "We don't have enough weapons." someone says choking on the words. "Of course you do and a shit load of bullets." Riley says cocking his head to the side. "Where are these weapons and ammo then crazy man!" Brian the blacksmith yells. Riley walks past everyone and points at the prison. "That is where your weapons are waiting." Riley says looking at everyone. "Do you like being weak?" Riley says pointing at one person. "No." they respond. "How about you and you?" Riley asks. They also shake their heads. "Well guess what dumbass people of Camelot you are not weak fucking stupid yes but not weak you are all still alive and breathing you are learning and making yourselves better." Riley paces in front of them. "The wall will never be up in time for this horde but we will have the means to kill them if we take that prison today i alone can kill a horde it isn't special it just comes with practice and there are a lot more than 1 person here so i can imagine this horde will be killed easily." Riley punches Brian's arm lightly. "Every zombie you see should make you feel more alive than ever and every single dead zombie should make you feel even better because that is just even more proof you are strong the whole fucking world was destroyed and turned into mindless flesh eating fucks but here you are breathing and building." Riley looks everyone in the eye. "That tells me that you badasses have enough to conquer this small hiccup and fuck the horde up so pick up your weapons gather in the yard and show the zombies overstaying their welcome in your fucking home the most important fact of your lives." Riley says grinning. "You! Are! Alive!" Riley shouts.
