I closed my eyes and was just waiting for the zombies to eat me, but suddenly, I heard a series of gunshots, so I immediately sat down and hid behind a big trash drum. I looked around and realized that there was a group of armed men carrying big guns, while their noses and mouths were covered with 3M rugged comfort respirators. Suddenly, someone came to me and helped me get out of there and away from the zombies, at the same time she handed me a face mask. Therefore, I looked up at her with a look of astonishment on my face. “Wear that because we can't kill all the zombies here.” She said, and I just nodded my head, then immediately put on the mask she gave me. Then she called her colleagues and threw smoke gas before we left and ran away. She held my hand while I followed behind her. I followed them wherever they were going until they all stopped, and then they turned to me. “I'm sorry, but you shouldn't know about our hideout.” She said at the same time she took off my mask and s
After a while, my attention turned to a man who was not far from me. His whole face was pale, and he was constantly itching all over his body, where I noticed that his skin was already injured and bleeding when he scratched. I watched him closely, but his actions seemed abnormal until he fell to the floor without anyone else noticing him except me. I looked around to see if anyone else noticed him, but they were all busy doing with something else. So, I thought of approaching him, but before I could leave my seat, his body suddenly moved as if he was being possessed. He breaks every bone in his body, and the color of his eyes changes from white. Therefore, I was more curious about what was happening to him, but I didn't approach him because I felt something bad was going to happen. Until someone noticed him and repeatedly asked him if he was okay, but he didn't answer, instead he stopped and didn't move from where he was. The man in front of him repeatedly calling him to make sure he w
(Five days before the apocalypse happens.) “Sixto!” Kaiser called me as he hurriedly ran into our cell. I was standing at the window at that moment while drinking water. “What is going on with you, Kaiser, and why do you seem so eager to see Sixto?” Peter jokingly told him. “I have good news for you, Sixto.” He said with a wide smile on his lips. I raised an eyebrow, and Peter and I exchanged glances at each other as I lowered the glass from the window. “Good news?” I said, he nodded his head at the same time. “Your case will be reopened, and you will have a new trial because the real culprit has been caught. Finally, you will be able to prove that you are innocent and that you are not really guilty.” After he said that, I was stunned and changed glances at my colleagues. Kaiser came to me and hugged me tightly as he gently caresses my back. I just smiled with tears in my eyes. I can't believe that this day will come, and I will have another chance to prove to everyone that I am
“That's enough, Sixto.” Ruana told me as she took the gun I was holding, which was pointed at Hunter's forehead. I found out that he was the real perpetrator of the crime I was accused of. He is also the reason why all my dreams were destroyed and why I ended up in this hellish place. If it wasn't for him, I might have graduated from college and am currently working in a company, or maybe Mom and I would still be together and living a happy life. I slowly lowered my hand as I turned around and hit the wall hard. Laura was behind me where she was trying to calm me down. “See? You can't kill me.” I heard Hunter snickering, so I immediately turned to him and quickly approached him while I strangled his neck while his back was leaning against the wall. “I will kill you, but not now. I will make sure that you also experience every hardship that I go through in this prison. I will make sure that your life will be a hell like what I experienced.” I whispered to him as I looked at him inten
“While we were looking for you in each cell, we encountered survivors and a man came to me asking for help to get back to where they were hiding. And this is the room he was referring to me. Because we don't have enough weapon was carrying, we failed to save them all. Many zombies were chasing us and many were injured and died. We were unable to save them one by one because they were gradually changing as a zombie. They didn't have any bites or scars on their body that could cause the virus, but some of them just fell on the floor and their eyes turned white. Until they became zombies too. We tried to save them, but they were all infected with the virus. I wonder how that happened because their bodies are in such good condition, and they don't seem to have any injuries from the zombies.” Kaiser told us what happen to them, while Ruana and I listened to him silently. “Are you saying they became zombies without contact with zombies?” Juana asked him curiously, while Kaiser nodded his he
We left that room with Hunter. I have no other choice but to accompany him in our escape. But I can't let him get out of this place alive. By the time we get out of here, I will kill him. I'll use him for now, but then I'll kill him without anyone else knowing. We take every step carefully and feel our surroundings. The silence there was eerie, and it seemed as if a zombie would suddenly appear in front of us. Ruana was leading the way because they were the only ones carrying weapons, while Zero and Laura were in front of me holding hands. And Hunter was right behind me, clinging to the sleeve of my t-shirt. We just walked slowly with our backs against the wall. When Ruana suddenly raised her right fist, they stopped walking together. I was curious and looked around us. Until we heard rustling sounds that seemed to be getting louder and closer to where we were. “Aren't those zombies?” Hunter whispered to me, but I didn't answer him, but instead I removed his hand that was holding
“Laura, can you please give this to Sixto?” Ruana said to me after she handed me a biscuit and a bottle of water. I nodded my head and immediately went to where he was. But I stopped when I felt I stepped on something. Because of that, I looked down at the floor and saw an old wallet. I picked it up and opened it to find out who this wallet belonged to. “Wait, this wallet belongs to Sixto?” I whispered to myself when I saw his picture there while he was in his school uniform. I smiled at his picture and was about to close it, but suddenly a picture fell from his wallet. Furthermore, I immediately picked it up from the floor and stared at the woman in the picture. I was almost stunned, and my eyes widened in shock when I recognized the woman in the picture. She is the old woman I ran into before. But why does Sixto's have the picture of her? And what he's relation to this woman? While my mind was wandering, my attention suddenly turned to Sixto when he approached me and took the wall
Sixto turned to me in surprise, but I was unable to explain to him when Hunter suddenly punched him in the face at the same time he grabbed the gun from my hand and pointed it at Sixto which shocked us all. “Put that gun down.” We all turned our attention to Ruana as she pointed her gun at Hunter's head. He grinned and slowly lowered his hand as Ruana took the gun from him. “Do you think it's my fault? Didn't you see what he did to me earlier? It's almost like he's praying for that monster to kill me. Not even one of you dares to help me. What else shouldn't I be surprised if you all want me dead am I right?” Hunter said as he turned to look at me, but I just looked down when I suddenly noticed his blood dripping from his right arm. Therefore, I covered my hand and walked away from him. They all looked at me with a look of astonishment on their faces. Until they realized what I was looking at, and they all moved away from him. Hunter frowned and looked down at his arm where he reali
