The Fence

This story is part of the Malton Chronicles. This story is fan-made, and is not officially part of any background history for Urban Dead.

Welcome to my Outpost on the border of the MQP (Malton Quarantine Zone). My name is John, Private John Reese. I’ve been told by my commanding officers not to tell you much, as you are the media, and we don’t want to look bad in the papers, but I'm going to disregard that, and tell you the horrors of this god forsaken place. Now you might have heard that the Korean DMZ is the most dangerous place in the world, well it isn't anymore. You are now standing in the Most Dangerous Place in the World. Why you ask? I'll tell you why, look towards the city, what do you see? Fence after fence after fence, 67 miles of razor wire, 67 miles of barbed wire, 7,000 landmines, and 5,000 heavily armed soldiers in NBC gear. What? You don’t know why this is all here? Let me guess, the government has told you it’s something like anthrax or some form of nerve gas? Tell you what, look there, look through this telescope towards the city, look about 300 yards away, do you know what that is? It’s a "Zed", yes, that’s right, a zombie. That is why we are here. But you might think that is bad enough, I could tell you some stories, stories of mothers with babies being shot, grown men crying to get out of the city, and like 80% of the people who aren’t infected and try to escape, imminent death when they step on a land mine. To the government, this place doesn't exist. Thousands of people he government doesn't worry about. Thousands of soldiers stood here to kill anything that moves that side of the fence. I’m telling you, I've been here for 3 months, and 3 days is enough to make you break down, throw up, and even consider killing yourself. I've lost 16 comrades in these 3 months that we have been stationed here. They all killed themselves. Maybe they can’t stand the stench of death, maybe they can’t stand killing innocent children, maybe seeing hordes of zombies scares the life out of them, we will never know. Oh, here we go again, looks like we've got a breach. You might want to put on that gas mask and amour, while I go man the machine gun position. STOP!! WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPEN FIRE!! TURN BACK OR WE WILL SHOOT!! Sorry about that, that is what we do every single day. That is our job. Are you feeling ok, you don’t look very well, take a sit down. Paul, get our guest a glass of water please? Hang on, sounds like we've got a report coming in. I didn’t tell you did me, we are also here to stop idiots trying to break into the MQP, and one of my patrols along the fence has detained a man trying to climb the fence. Good job he didn’t get to the 2nd fence, the electrified one. They are bringing him down here now to question him. What will happen to him? Well, depends how he answers, but we will more than likely get the order to execute him. Yes, that is what our government thinks of this place. Anyone who tries to get in or out of the city is better off dead. We cannot risk the infection spreading can we? Ahhh, looks like our patrol has come back with the detainee. We put a black hood over their heads so they are less likely to fight back. Handcuff him to the chair. Paul, escort our guest from the media outside please, some "classified information" may come out. I warn you, before you leave, never come back here again. It is not a nice place. You are better off going as far away from here as possible. Take care. Now, what about you, what do you think you were doing inside the MQP, Private Smith, and your sidearm please...............
