There were also two other zombies with him, so Lockdown was already outnumbered. But that had never stopped the bounty hunter

His round belly seemed to move as a separate entity from the rest of him, flesh moving under the torn, ragged clothes in a way that suggested it might easily detatch from the rest of his body. The sheer size of the zombie kept him moving slowly, but there was a second, slimmer one also approaching the pair of them.

Elation began to course through the bounty hunter. He thought fighting those dog monsters last night had been exhilarating. Sure these enemies were slower and quite possibly stupider, but a thrill was a thrill. The axe wasn't quite the same as his chainsaw, but this was no time to be picky.

He now had a smile to match the rest of his axe murderer look. Now that he had a weapon, there was no reason to be scared. Just overjoyed at the chance to kill things!

The thinner zombie was taken down rather easily, but a second one took its place, groaning low as it stepped forward.

Leaving the other thin zombie for now, the bounty hunter ran towards the big zombie, hacking at its body in order to distract it, before aiming a roundhouse kick at its head, hoping the force of the kick would snap that last little bit of flesh keeping it attached to the body.
Once Lockdown had spun all the way around, he planted his feet, axe raised, prepared to fight once more, in case the big zombie was still functioning or the small zombie came at them.

Not when there was killing to be done! HK dodged around Lockdown and the large zombie, heading for the currently unattended one that needed to be separated from it's head. He charged in, swinging hard as his pathetic little human meatbag muscles could manage.

The smaller zombie fell easily after that, its head neatly separating from the rest of its body and impaling itself on a rake. There were telltale groans in the background indicating that the store wasn't entirely free of zombies, but their numbers had dwindled for the moment.

Stepping around the bodies, and getting the soles of his feet-armor covered in blood, the bounty hunter made his way to a rack of belts, putting one around his waist and putting anything that looked useful into the pockets and loops.
"Grab a belt and take what you can, quickly," Lockdown told HK, stuffing a couple of screwdrivers into his belt.

Once he felt he had enough, Lockdown turned to the other robot, "Any ideas about where to go from here?"

"Statement: Possibly somewhere with limited access points. These meatbags seem entirely single-minded about attacking everything they deem edible, thus in the open their numbers will eventually become a problem."

He thought about suggesting a park, when a better idea came to him. Back at the grocer's he'd seen a plaque for a "doctor's office", and had noticed that it was on top of the store. Perhaps that would be a prime location.
"There's an office on top of the grocery store," Lockdown suggested. "Maybe we should head for that."
