matter of seconds.  Mike’s team worked hard and was able to knock out all the roofs and first layer of paint by sundown.  Chris, Jason, and George were able to fed wires to every building through the underground trenches and pvc pipe they were able to lay down, but Chris needed some supplies to finish the insides of the cabins and garage.  
    Bev and Abby went room by room and truck by truck making a list of what was running low.  When they got to the pole barn Dr Li had the list of supplies needed to complete the new hospital.  They next talked with Chris to see what he needed to complete any of his projects or items he needed to have on site for a just in case moment.  Next they talked to Mike to see what else he may need.  We need to keep barrels of gas on site for the new construction equipment, vehicles, and the new generator Mike said.    After getting a count on what weapons and bullets we had in the truck Abby and Bev made a list of what bullets we were running low on.  They also made a list of what weapons were available.  Finally they went and talked with the guys to see what else was needed.  Jason and George suggested some off road vehicles to patrol the open fields and smaller trucks to go for supplies.  Dr. Chen made us smile when he asked for cigarettes and alcohol.  I asked for a large table, chairs, maps, and paper so we could turn the master bedroom into our main command center control room.  Now that the supply needs were written out it was decided what trips would be made and to where.
    Rus, Bruce, and I made our way back to the building supply in the refrigerated truck and semi when we noticed as we went through town windows smashed in several businesses as we drove by.  I guess that’s our answer if there are still other survivors out there Bruce said.  We arrived and docked at the truck bay.  Rus grabbed the fork truck while Bruce and I swept the store for danger.  Rus started loading drywall and mudding supplies into the trailer; Bruce started getting the supplies Chris had asked for, while I continued scouting the store.  I had made it to the garden center of the store where I discovered the doors had been removed leaving a huge hole in the side of the building.  I stayed guard at the hole for over an hour when Rus and Bruce finally found me.  All the drywall, installation, electrical, and siding for the garage is loaded, is there anything else we need Rus asked.  I think we need plumbing supplies, toilets, and showers that way we can build a restroom like at the campgrounds so everyone won’t have to wait all day for the bathroom or shower I said.  Rus closed the trailer door after we loaded everything we thought we needed.  Take this back to the compound so they can get it unloaded before sundown I said.  Bruce and I will get food at Foodmart since it’s a bulk supply chain I added.  Rus headed back to camp as Bruce and I made our way to the Foodmart.  As Bruce and I entered the Foodmart the smell from inside was almost unbearable.  We had to cover our faces with our bandanas just so we could enter the store.  The smell of rotting fruits and vegetables was the first thing we came across.  The floor was sticky from the juices that covered the floor in the produce department and fruit flies buzzed all around.  We made our way to the back room where we could grab flatbeds that would be easier to transport the quantities we needed.  Let’s get all the canned fruits and vegetables we can since the fresh stuff is beyond rotted I suggested.  On the way back from our first trip we caught a whiff of something so terrible that not even our bandanas could stop the stench.  It came from the butcher shop inside the store.  The smell of rotting meat and fish started to take over the produce department.  As we made our way past we heard a loud bang coming from inside the butchers shop.  The butchers shop windows had all been broken and glass covered the entire floor.
