(CONTEXT ON HOW IT STARTED)

A tree was carrying a fungus/disease that was unknown to scientists, but people called it the "The Dark Plague" these days. It spreads like the Green Plague, but has the conversion rate of Cordyceps, which was fairly slow. It also had an... interesting mutation system. It was like there's a few infected zombies with custom abilities. But were unknown to humans.

First week of Infection

You walk around in the woods, desperately trying to find resources like water, food, guns and ammo. When you spot a nearby city, you jump in excitement, dashing right for it... but when you got there, you stand in shock as you see destroyed buildings, streets covered in blood, and people looking like... zombies..? You decide to not question it and venture forward, keeping your Colt 1911 in your hands, ready for any hands-on combat. Around five to ten minutes later, you find a gun store, seemingly untouched and not overrun. You walk inside and it's got a few options: The Rimfire Rifle (also known as the .22 Rifle), the Colt M4 Commando (also known as the Commando Assault Rifle), and the Grenade launcher. [You can pick which ONE to take, you CANNOT take all three. Otherwise, it'd be too heavy for you to carry.] Once you made it out of the city with said choice of weaponry, three other survivors spot you and instantly raise their weapons for their safety. Do you try and talk them to not shoot you or do you shoot back?

???: He takes out his pistol, aiming it at you "Hands up! Who are you?!"

???: looking at you coldly, staying silent as he keeps his AK-47 aimed at you, just incase you try doing some sneaky shit

???: keeps his M1 Grand pointed at you "If you don't start talking, I won't hesitate to put a bullet in your head."

After they've said this, they squeeze their hands on their respected triggers, not trying to take any safety risk that might concern them with this plague.
