Simon suddenly appeared in front of me. He was panting and sweating profusely. He quickly grabbed my hand before I completely fell. “Sixto, are you alright?” he asked, but I didn't respond to him because I didn't expect his sudden appearance. He immediately pulled me inside, and then I lay on the floor while catching my breath. “What happened to you and why didn't you come back?” I asked him at the same time he turned to me. “I'm sorry if I've been gone for so long. I've been searching for a safe place where we can stay, but it wasn't easy. There are selfish people, and they want to avoid helping us for fear that we might be infected with the virus. All the rooms there were closed, so I just sought a place where we can stay temporarily on another floor. Until I accidentally saw you inside the elevator. I didn't expect that, and I thought you were among the fallen, but luckily, I saw you here. Thank you, Sixto because you're still alive because otherwise I might regret it for the res
Luigi could hardly believe what he saw, and suddenly, he sat on the floor. “What did I see earlier?” He said as he looked in our direction. I immediately stood up and peeked out the window, but inexplicably, all the zombies suddenly disappeared. Suddenly, the whole road became clean and regardless of where I looked, there were no zombies to be seen. “Where are they all now and why did they suddenly disappear?” I was curious and Simon and Luigi approached me at the same time, and then they peeked through the window. Even they couldn't believe it when they saw that the zombies weren't there, so we exchanged glances at each other with a look of astonishment on our faces. Until we turned our backs when we heard loud noises. We immediately ran to the door and then lifted every item inside to block it behind the door. “What are you doing? What's really going on?” Rita asked us, but none of us responded to her because we were busy carrying things and covering the door. “What are we going
While Luigi and I were standing behind the door, we suddenly heard a horn from outside. We exchanged glances at each other, and then we ran to the window. We peeked outside and saw a garbage truck at the bottom. Furthermore, we were surprised at first, but when Simon peeked out the window and then waved at us, we immediately realized that he was the driver. However, it is still a puzzle to us how they got there or how they got down with such a short rope, and it did not touch the ground. While we wondered, we suddenly turned behind us, where we noticed that they were slowly breaking the door. Because of that, we have no other choice but to hurry down there. We immediately went out of the window and then carefully went down with that cloth. However, we couldn't move forward to where we were now as Luigi didn't move below me. He looked like a rock that didn't even move there as both of his eyes were closed. “What are you doing there? Get down and hurry.” I told him. He just shook his he
We screamed of joy when we saw that there were no more zombies following us, but we noticed that all the trash was scattered in the middle of the road. We almost emptied the entire truck but left a lot of mess in the middle of the road. “Why do you look like that? Aren't you happy that they aren't following us anymore?” Luigi asked me curiously when he noticed that my facial expression suddenly changed. “I don't know. I can't understand, but it looks like our strategy was wrong.” I replied that he shook his head with a look of astonishment on his face. “What do you mean? Didn't we do the right thing and stop the zombies chasing us?” he said, while I focused my attention on the road while observing the garbage scattered around us that could cause great inconvenience to other people. Simon and Rita didn't seem to notice what we did. Until my eyes widened when a black car appeared in front of us, and unexpectedly it suddenly lost its balance. The scattered garbage caused a big obstacle
I tried to stop Luigi, but he just ignored me and then continued walking away from us. I sighed as I turned to Simon where he was back inside the truck waiting for me to get on. Furthermore, I wanted to chase Luigi, but it appears that he has already made up his mind to stay away from us, and he doesn't seem to want to join us anymore. Moreover, I wasn't supposed to go with Simon, but I was forced to because the girl was there as a result of my big mistake and decision in life. That's why I immediately ran back there and got into the back of the truck, and we immediately left that place while I was looking in Luigi's direction until I could only see him behind him and until I didn't see him again. “It's all my fault, if I hadn't thought of that idea, all of that wouldn't have happened.” I whispered to myself as the girl next to me staring at me. I immediately looked away from her and turned away from her. That time was long for me. The whole area was quiet, and the wind seemed to blow
That night we looked everywhere for Luigi, but it wasn't easy as it was dark everywhere we went. However, we did not give up. We just continued to look for him while Simon slowly moving the truck. Not far away, I saw a black van. It just stopped to one side with its door open. I signaled to Simon to stop the truck for a moment, and then I immediately got down to approach the black car. I carefully examined and observed it. It looks like a brand-new car, and it's still full of gas. But why was there no one inside, and why did he just leave his car key here? I looked around my whole surroundings, but I didn't notice anything unusual. Until I decided to go back to the truck and tell Simon about my discovery. But I had only taken a few steps away when someone jumped from behind me, causing me to fall to the ground. Simon and Rita immediately got out of the truck to help me. I tried to push the zombie away, and then I kicked him in the abdomen hard, so I could get up. When I got away from
We realize that the place we are now is infested with zombies. Due to the darkness of the area there and the thick fog, we did not immediately notice that we had entered a dangerous area, where many zombies were scattered around. Because of that, we cannot leave where we are. It is also not possible to operate the car as it will only cause a loud noise, and it will only get the attention of the zombies there. We stayed there for a while and waited for the zombies to leave, but they seemed to be getting closer to where we were. “What are we going to do now?” Rita was curious as we looked at the zombies passing in front of us and through the window. Juliet raised one of her hands and slowly lowered my hand covering her eyes, so she saw the zombies there. She was about to scream, but I immediately covered her mouth before the zombies could hear her. Some of them turned around, but they just ignored it and walked in another direction. We took a deep breath, and then I slowly removed my
I discovered that Simon did not survive the zombies that day. While he was pushing away the zombie, it accidentally bit his hand, causing him to be infected with the virus, and he became a terrifying monster like them. But the only thing that was different about him was that his thinking, walking, moving and speaking were still normal. His instinct and hearing just sharpened. He had a unique strength where he could not be killed immediately with just one bullet, or even hit him several times in different parts of his body. He didn't expect that to happen, and even I couldn't believe what I discovered about him. Furthermore, he chose to hide it from us because he was afraid that we might treat him differently, and we might stay away from him. But since everything has happened, there is nothing we can do but accept him or what kind of creature he is. I don't know if I should be thankful because he came back to life or if he still became normal despite the toxic virus that is spreading ar
