Day 3
Time - 4:30 am
"Let's recheck our equipments. Flash light?"
"Check."
"Extra batteries?"
"Check."
"Guns reassembled and cleaned?"
"Yes."
"Looks like we're ready to go. As soon as there is enough light outside we will leave."
"Sure"
In the morning mist Jeanette and Nickolai check their equipments before leaving for a mission
"Have you guys prepared?" asked the old man Samuel
"Yes, dad. We are prepared to move out. We have also taken some extra bullets just in case we need more and we have also installed silencers on our pistols. We even took our daggers." Jeanette replied.
"Good"
"Sir, I would like to know where my friends are." Nickolai requested
"Well, it's still morning. I will allow them to sleep till 6 after which their training will start." Samuel replied
"The sun'll be rising soon." Jeanette said while looking outside through the window.
"Before you both start the mission, here take two of these walkie-talkies. Stay on comms with me and hit me if you come across any trouble and keep updating me at every step you take. And NIckolai, keep my daughter safe or you won't see a tomorrow."
"Yes, sir. Roger that." said Nickolai
"Come, let's have some tea before you two leave."
"Sure." They both agreed
--------------------------------
Time 5:35 am
"Let's go!"
"Bye, dad. See you later."
"All the best kids. Don't die out there."
After saying their goodbyes both of them moved forward to nearest supermarket.
---------------------------------
"There's our first zombie." whispered Jeanette
"Pay no attention to it and keep moving. We can't waste our time on them. So, by the map how far is this Supermarket?" replied Nickolai
"Hmm, maybe around 2 more miles. Hopefully, it has all the necessities we need."
"Yeah. Hopefully."
"You know I want to know how these things are even walking about. Didn't we study that all living organisms need energy to for moving and doing stuff then how can these things even walk."
"Don't ask me. Ask these questions to the idiot back at our base."
"Base?"
"The house that we are living in at the moment."
"Oooh, I see."
Suddenly, we heard a loud shriek from a distance.
"Heard that?" asked Jeanette
"Yeah and it's coming closer. Look, it's a chopper."
"We have got to signal them for help but how?"
"They are dropping some papers let go take a look."
"Sure"
Both of them ran towards the site and Nickolai picked up a sheet of paper.
"What does it say, Nick?" Jeanette asked after looking at pale face of Nickolai.
"Crap. We need to inform others, right now." said Nickolai with terrified expression.
--------------------------------------
A little time back
"I am dead tired" said Andrew while sitting on couch
"True. Uncle Sam is a strict teacher. But atlast we were able to reassemble our guns in less than 3 mins" replied Lofe
"I have done preparations. Now is your shooting practice time. I have fixed a scope on your rifle Andrew which u requested to be used by you. As for Lofe i have prepared your M16." Come to first floor to use them" said Samuel giving them an order to assemble.
"Atlast we are going to shoot some dead men" said Lofe
"I have a bad feeling about it.What if there is a way to save them all" (Andrew)
"Are you kidding me? Those monsters just want to kill us. Nothing more do they want."
"but still i don't like it"
"Just forget it and come upstairs for practice"
"Ok"
-------------------------------------------
"Now Reload, Aim and then press tigger. Lofe i put your gun on semi automatic so 1 bullet per click"
"Ok"
"Now press"
Bang
"Headshots on your first attempt huh good job"
"Thanks" (Lofe & Andrew)
*Dad do you hear me! Dad!*
After picking up the radio
"What happened?"
*There has been an issue for air striking in this whole region in 2 days time. I and Nick will try to scavenge everything we can and head back then we will leave north.*
"Shit" (Andrew)
"We are doomed seriously" (Lofe)
"Understood. Also get some fuel while you both are scavenging. We will use the Jeep of the owner of this house. It has plenty of space"
*Roger that*
"As you both have already heard them. Pack your bags we will be leaving soon"
"Aye Sir" both of them replied
-----------------------------------------------
Time 12 noon
"Alright let's leave. Anyone who wants to go to washroom shall go now only as we wont get to use one for long" said samuel after arming himself up for the long trip
Suddenly Andrew, Lofe & Jeanette stood up and left
"Nick i want you to sit in back and be ready for any actions. I want both of your friends to sit in middle while I drive and Jeanette will provide support from front. I am expecting you two to be ready for anything. I have taught Lofe to use assault rifle while Andrew learned to use his dad's rifle"
"That's good. But i want those two to stay as backup. Especially Andrew. I hope he can come up with something soon. As wicked as this world is right now, I don't think there will be many who can find a cure for this madness."
"I understand. Now looking at map, we will be out of the city in about 30 mins if there is no traffic. For now let's head for Stafford as it is out of strike zone. We still don't know where is the last stand of army"
"Roger that"
"Hmm you three are back. Let's move out"
"Ok!" everyone said and started their journey
-----------------------------------------
TIme 4:28 pm
"It's taking longer than usual." (Andrew)
"Of Course. Most of the roads are
blocked" (Nickolai)
"So many corpses are here and they look like they were slashed with a sword" (Lofe)
Suddenly Jeanette intervenes
"Look a human girl. We must help her"
"Jean, Nick move and help her to get here. Andrew help me guard their backs. Lofe guard us from zombies which are trying to get near us. Move now!" (Samuel)
"Roger!" (Everyone)
Jeanette and Nickolai dashed towards the girl who was using a sword to cut zombies. Andrew and Samuel supported their dash and guarded their backs while Lofe guarded the car.
"They have got her. I am starting engine get in car"
"Roger"( Andrew & Lofe)
All three of them hoped in the car and soon other three also joined them
"Move they are following us" (Nickolai)
And soon they drove at highest speed they could
"So what's your name little miss" (Jeanette)
"Sarah, 18 year old high schooler"
"Cool moves you had there with your sword but it looks bend" (Lofe)
"It's a katana"
"Kahthana??" (Andrew)
"Katana. An ancient Japanese sword used by samurais. My father brought this from Japan when he was on a business trip. So where are you guys headed to." (Sarah)
"We are headed for Stafford. We will find an abandoned factory or something like that there and wait for help."(Samuel)
"Ok.... So what's the name of you guys" (Sarah)
"I am Jeanette. This is my dad Samuel. Ones sitting next to you are Lofe and Andrew and last but not the least Nickolai who is cleaning his gun"(Jeanette)
"Cool. So you guys can use guns huh" (Sarah)
"Yup"(Andrew)
"Let's take over that Starbucks for tonight and leave tomorrow morning"(Samuel)
