How did they even think of going to the warehouse? The security is good, but how did they enter it in the first place. That was the question that was running in my mind.
The warehouse had 2 fences. The outer layer was made with the Razor wire fence, from what I know about the fence. It's made of a galvanized steel blade, then 2 pieces of the stainless steel razor are bound together to make it stronger on the second face layer. The welded Razor wire mesh security fence was used. As you know, they are highly secure fences and are impossible to climb or cut off with the standard tools. It gave off a secure feeling and is not easy to handle unless you won't feel pain going over it as it pieces your body.
"How did they even get in there?"
"I am not sure."
"Where are the zombies coming from? They are too many. It's getting hard to get in."
"Even so. That is the safest place so far."
"Look at the gate. Someone is there at the second gate on the tower. Look," I said, pointing at a man sitting on the tower overlooking the surrounding.
"They must take turns to man the area."
"We only need to get closer and get their attention."
"But it very dangerous."
"That's true. There are around. 1...2...3...4...15...39. that's a lot. There are at least 39 z's. How are we going to kill it?" Asked teacher Monica counting them
"Well. We could try and separate them and kill them one at a time. It would be bad if we waited till night. The kids are tired and hungry. We should try and see if their parents are in there." I said to them, looking at the surrounding
"Could they have made this place secure for the security of food, or they know a pandemic would come?" asked teacher Monica again
"How could that be? They probably thought of their food first," Old Kibali chipped in laughing. We all laughed out. It may have been only the second day, but it seemed like forever. Things were going too fast.
"Who has a phone?" Old Kibali asked all of a sudden. "I do," I said, handing over my phone. It was of no help to me. I could not communicate anyway." He took the phone and powered it. I then entered my pin again. "Does it have ringtones saved on the phone?" he asked, looking at the z's.
"Yes. I have a few in there." I said, wondering what he was up to. He then stood and turned to us. "I will try and get them away from here. You guys should run as fast as you could and get the attention of the guy over there. It's best to make sure the kids get there safely."
"Take care and be careful," Mrs. Kibali said to her husband, getting ready for a run. I held two kids and teacher Monica two. We looked at the man ahead at the tower. He seemed to have noticed us and called for someone over. The person looked down at us and got someone to go to the first gate. The moment Mr. Kibali ran where the z's could see him, he played the music on the phone and put up the volume. He ran in the opposite direction, trying to get all of them to follow him. As soon as they got his attention, we ran as fast as we could towards the gate. Though most of them followed old Kibali, some of them got a view of us and turned to us. Mrs. Kibali got ready to attack the few that were coming after us. Since we were not far from the gate, we could easily fight them at the gate while waiting for the people inside to open the gate for us. We fought with the one coming at us head-on. Mrs. Kibali was overwhelmed, and I had to join her fight them off. More of them came at us as we continued to fight. When the last one dropped, the gate was opened. Counting the bodies on the ground, there were around twenty of them.
"Hope Old Kibali makes it," I said as the gate was being opened by a young man. We ran inside as he closed the gate immediately. It was heavy though he opened halfway. We ran back towards the second gate and waited outside not far from the first gate. We could see Old Kibali fighting the last two of the dead. I was holding my heart out for him. He had to be okay. He was more of a family to me now. New family in the changing world. As soon as the last undead dropped, he ran back towards us. At first, I did not understand why he was running that fast. I stood still on the ground. Right at that moment, I saw something behind him that shuddered my heart. A dozen of undead were coming out from the woods.
"Open the gate. Open the gate before it's too late. We have to get him in," Mrs. Kibali shouted when she saw the scene. I also handed the kids to Teacher Monica before running after her towards the gate. The young man tried to stop us, but we were very adamant. There is no way we will let him die right outside the gate, and he had a chance to live. The young man had no choice but to help us open the gate. The moment he passed us and entered the gate, we closed it. The undead was already at the gate and pushing hard. Old Kibali joined in and helped us close the gate. I took my rod and started poking their heads. I pierced them hard on the head and killed tens of them before the others joined and stabbed them. By the time we killed enough of them, I was covered with dark red blood on my hand and sweatpants. It was disgusting, but what could I have done. I had no chance of clothes and needed a shower. All the sweat, bloody rotten blood all me made me want to put, but my mind was on my kid at that moment.
As soon as we finished dealing with the undead. We turned to see people outside looking at us like crazy. It seems they had closed themselves the moment it started and have not experienced one on one with the Z's. A man in brown trousers, a black T-shirt worn with black sports shoes."Welcome to the warehouse. My name is James Kimili. I am the owner of the warehouse. There are others in here, but there are rules that you need to follow if to stay here for a few days. One. You need to know nothing in here belongs to you. Two. Don't take food without permission. Three. Water is limited. Use it sparingly. Also, the security here is good, but we all take turns guarding the area. If you are okay with, that then you are welcome to stay. Otherwise, you better go somewhere else." He finished looking at us sternly. I was mad. It's good to be strict but can we finish all the food in the warehouse in ago."Don't worry. I only want to see if my family are in there, and we will lea
“Teacher Monica, look who is here?” I said to her. She was so happy. “Teacher Daniel, you are okay. I am happy you are alive.” She beamed happily and hugged each other. From the reaction they had, they were an item. They were together.I threw them a knowing look and went to sit next to the old couple. “Here is my son. Javi.” I said to them as I pulled my son in front of them.“Wow. Boy you really are lucky. Your mother is one tough one. She fought all those people out there to find you.”“I know my mom is a badass.” He said and we all laughed. I pinched him playfully “That’s not a language you can speak.” He looked down and apologized” Sorry mummy.”“Stop being tough on the keep. He is right. You are badass.” I laughed along with teacher Daniel and Monica who had joined us“Teacher Daniel, how are things here? Is it safe?” I asked him.
“Mom, what happening again?” Javi asked intending to go out and check“Stop! Don’t go out. Stay here. Let me check.” I stopped him before he could even take the step. What if we were attacked at that moment? I didn’t want any accidents. “Hide under the bed at the corner” I said to Javi as I took my rod and peeped outside.People were running away from the dining. I saw Dan and her mother running towards me. “What happening?” I asked her standing at the door. She pushed me inside and closed the door behind her. She looked shocked. Holding her chest hard to calm down“The lady you came with, she turned into one of those things. She bit Daniel. It happened too fast I ran among the people to leave but things are crazy. They are fighting and biting each other”“What. Teacher Monica turned? But she wasn’t bit… wait…. She looked sick” I said the last part almo
“I think we should do what we wanted at this moment. She will help shield us. It will be more effective.” Peter said all of a sudden. I turned and looked at him hard“What? Have I said anything wrong? It’s finding an opportunity and grasping it. We are in shit. If we don’t do anything, we will be dead.” He added. I could see where he was coming from. Things will be even worse as the pandemic prolonged.“Okay. Let’s be fast and careful.” I said to the ladies in the bathroom.“I am scared. I don’t think I can do it.” She said taking steps away from the door. We could hear Esther fighting the undead hard. Screaming. If we missed the opportunity, she would’ve done it for nothing.I can’t say I was not hoping for her to sacrifice for the big picture but I didn’t expect her to do it on her own“Go.” I said and led the way. I was ready for anything as lon
I had turned on the corner from the hall to the living room by the time I heard the scream so I had to rush back. There. Peter my stubborn guy was bitten by the woman he was so sentimental about on his forearm.“You bitch. I will kill you.” He was so angry that he did not care about anything. He took the spade lying on top of Esther and hit the woman till her head became pieces. The sight was not pleasant. If it were any other time I would have thrown up but things have changed.Old Kibali, his wife and James the owner of the warehouse opened the door from outside and entered. James Kemeli seemed to have never seen such a sight since the beginning“Oooh. What a mess. Who would buy my foodstuff if they saw all this disgusting sight.” The first thing that came to his mouth after seeing the bodies on the ground was not how sorry he was. That was a limit for me“If you value your food stuff so much. Why not load them on the
“That’s true but do you think those people will have the Lories unchecked?” Old Kibali said looking at me.“So, what do you say Old Kibali?” I directly asked him. With his years of experience, he may come up with solutions that may take us years to have“I suggest we go with your plan but let it be a second plan. Let’s load food on the Lories, then leave some here and others find a safe place to hind. In case we encounter an attack in the future, there may be other two places where we can have food.” His suggestion was great. Having food on Lories was an overall plan but having also a different place with food in case of unforeseen accidents or events was an excellent plan“So, where do you suggest we hid another batch of food?” James frowned asking. He gave out a huge sigh. I didn’t know whether is him resigning to fate or feeling dejected.“We need to have rounds around the area and
Old Kibali POVHaving sent Emma and my lovely wife to the truck. James and went through the plan we had before. We had to make sure we know whether they are foes or friends. I took my gun and threw another to James.Over the month that we stayed together with him, I realized he was not as selfish as he seemed at first.“ Its time.” He said to me nodding. We moved to the towards the second gate and looked at them. The people that were coming forward I didn’t know but it seem James knew or must’ve seen some of themThe incoming swam of people were armed but not all off them. They seem confident about attacking us. I didn’t need to ask twice to know what their plan was“ What do you want?” I shouted to the man that was at the fore front with an ak47 gun over his shoulder“ Nothing. We are just here seeking shelter.” The man answered as the rest of them finished o
Emma POVI waited at the back of the warehouse for a signal from the Old Kibali and James Kemeli. My hand was ready on the staring wheel and the engine running. Everything seemed like a dream to meI kept on looking outside through the side mirror. In the next few minutes, we could hear gun shots from the other side of the building. I was worried for them and us. I saw through the rear window Old Kibali and James running towards the truck from the residence.Placing my foot on the brakes, I waited for them to jump in before stepping on it. I took the corner and turned towards the main entrance of the warehouse. The men were shooting randomly at the door and stopped to shoot on us when I took the corner. All their attention were on us. I almost ran through them.They ran out of the way but they did not stop shooting at us. I rolled over some of the bodies on the road bumping as I drove. I drove past the gate damaging the whole gate and the
