A shot in the dark

The year is 1885 you're a detective somewhere in a small town in Nevada working for a police department. Recently over the past few months, the army has been stationed around town due to an outbreak of a virus that turns a person into a sentient flesh-eating zombie. To your surprise, no one’s gotten bitten or shot so that’s a plus but the only downside is that they don’t allow supplies into the town cuz they think it’s “contaminated” or those military bastards want it all to themselves. Either way, people were getting hungry and when people get hungry they get DESPERATE. Which leads to the next problem. For the past few days, people have been stealing and fighting each other over the remaining crops and food leftover from before the lockdown which means the police had to get involved and that’s where you come into play. You were investigating the disappearance of an individual named Sammy. He was last seen near the entrance of one of the small abandoned houses near the outskirts of the town where the military had taken over as headquarters. Later that evening you got into your car and made your way to the base. Once there you quickly got out and began looking around when you got a small eerie feeling like you were being watched. The base was quiet too quiet even for a base this big. You walked up near the entrance and noticed a small gap in the concrete walls that was big enough for a person to fit into. As the brave and strapping detective that you were, you mustered up the courage and went in. The inside was completely dark and cold with the only light being the sunlight that was peaking throughout the gap from where you had come. You pulled out a flashlight and began exploring and place when you got a whiff of a faint smell coming from a room labeled the “crematorium” " As you got closer the smell became more apparent and appealing as you pinched your nostrils together to try and block out the stench. once you where in the room everything looked “normal” until the floor gave out the you fell ten feet into an AWFUL pool of meat and blood. You quickly sprung up while gagging and flailing your arms trying to not vomit while rubbing the rot from your face. After a few minutes of gagging and screaming you pulled out your flashlight to see what you had fallen into. It wasn’t just meat it was the rotting corpses of different soldiers and civilians from around town. You quickly tried to pull yourself out from the hole when you heard a dark grow from behind you. Your body stiffened as you slowly turned to see a woman in a uniform hunched over seemingly feasting on the flesh all around her. You backed away slowly when you stepped on a small rib which made a sickening CRUNCH! She snapped away from her mean and slowly stood while grabbing something from the pools of blood. It was a damn gun why does it have to be a damn gun.
