Chapter 7

Children of the Zombies

I was glad when they left. It had looked like that Tigress had wanted to attack my future mothers of humanity, but luckily that huge black dog and that strange scrawny youth dressed like a goth with the Japanese sword constantly in his hand got her to change her mind, or I would have been forced to send a .50 cal slug downrange from my sniper nest into her brain as she came over the fence.

I like big cats, most likely she was one of those I had freed in my four day tour flying to all the major cities I could reach quickly, just as soon as there weren't many people left to object. There were some, and I hadn't known then when it would be my turn to go brain dead next, but I wanted to keep the animals from starvation- at least, starvation trapped in a locked cage. Perhaps they might starve yet, but in freedom.

I had figured that if I couldn't free them within four days, it would be both too dangerous to me, and probably somewhat too late for most of the animals. I didn't waste time with the creepy-crawlies, but all the mammals were set loose. I flew a fighter jet to the nearest military base, then took an attack chopper to the nearby large zoos. I broke the locks with det-cord, actually I took out bars and walls and viewing windows, not wasting time with small stuff. Two reasons, to do it as quick as I could, and to keep the animals from attacking me. I was gone to the next area before the small explosions let the animals loose.
