2022-03-13 15:02:12How 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

“Did you inject that thing?” Mark could not keep his curiosity to himself. That’s what I admire about Mark. He never shut his mouth when he feel dissatisfied or something disturbing him. That was something everyone was thinking“ No. Richard stopped me” He said looking at the injured Richard in gratefulness“ You knew it would turn people? Then why did you still take it out?” Oliver asked though I had doubt and questions on my mind as well.“ I dint know there would attack me to take it. It wasn’t finished but with it, we could solve the weakness and come with the right virus. It was incomplete.” Richard explained standing. He exclaimed holding his leg which I found weird.“ Are you okay?” I asked him in a low tone. He nodded but there definitely something wrong with him. The others walked ahead with Andrew to barricade the doors and the windows. Wherever there was a weakness and a possible attack point.I helped Richard go to the room and requested for Mrs. Kibali to open. I took him
Dangerous
“ What was their intention” I asked looking at the scientist on the other office. They looked pensive. Their eyes were on the soldier with Richard. It seem there was more to the injection than met the eye. Soon, all the infected in the room were send out successfully. The soldier with Richard looked our way and signaled for us to come down. I didn’t hesitate and moved down“ Javi and Dan. Remain here. Lock the door from inside. If anything happen don’t let anyone in.” I said to them kneeling down. I wasn’t sure about anything.“ I think senior Oliver should remain here as well” I turned to look at the old man. He looked at me like I took something precious from him“ Why me. I haven’t had fun since I woke up from this crazy man’s tea. I am going as well.” He said looking disgusted at Old Kibali“ Suit yourself. Don’t let us killed” Old Kibali retorted looking at him furious. It seem the old men would not let go of it if we let them argue“ I will stay here with the kids. You go” Mrs

After dinner, everyone went to their respective rooms. The kids, Richard and I went to ours while the others went to the next room. It was quiet in the room except in the middle of the night. There was a siren. The fire alarm had been triggered. The sound was irritable, but it was dangerous. We all ran out of the room as I asked the kids to wait inside. Richard came out with a gun which surprised me. I have never seen him with one. But could that really be a surprise at that chaotic time?"What's happening?" Richard took out a walkie-talkie he had with him and asked."One of the soldiers who came back is infected and has affected some of the others. One has entered the building, but the rest are locked out," a soldier shouted from the other floor."Everyone is careful.

Involved with the release of the virus
The rest of the crew were happy with the treatment and a place to sleep. It was much safer and a great place to spend time before the virus could be developed.Richard was a beast. He could not let me sleep the whole night.It's like his life was active again. Like I was his antidote. He didn't stop until he was drained of all energy. The following morning he went o the lab leaving me sleeping in the huge bed. I cannot say it's a king-size bed, but it was better compared to what we had experienced the months before. I slept in late, and breakfast was brought in by one of the soldiers who brought us yesterday. I ate and looked for the kids.They had gone to play on an open floor in the building turned into a pitch. They were a basketball pitch and a golf pitch on the next floor. It was great for them to release their tensions sometime. I could see inside the other lab from the floor as the scientists went through the different procedures testing the rats set on small transparent boxes.
Richard and the army
"Everybody down. Down. On your knees. Hand behind your head." They were too fast for us even to think. I held Javi and Dan and went on my knees with them. I could not give them a chance to separate us. I had hidden the gun, but I didn't know for how long though."Search them" I didn't even have time to breathe when the men came over to us. We had to stand and allow them to do everything on our bodies in the name of the search. The guy caressing my body was smiling evilly when Oliver ran to him. He tried to run to him but held back," don't you touch her." I had never seen such a look on his face. He was damn angry. It made me feel warm inside.Not only him but all the others were so angry, and you could see on their faces."Behave," the lead man said to the guy, searching for me. He saluted and looked at him in anger. He found the gun in my boot. I wore a piece of sheath down there. It helps to keep weapons hidden.They took all our weapons and put them down in front of us.

"Emma we have to go. There is nothing you can do." James pulled me away as he killed another one behind meOld Kibali and Mark helped the kids and Mr. Oliver senior cross the fence. I ran and crossed the fence James and Oliver following behind me. I turned to see Peter being chewed by the dead right in front of me. His screams were miserable. I cried but there was nothing I could do" Let's go". Old Kibali said after he closed the fence to delay the dead from coming after usWith my weapons at hand I felt at my end.The kids, Mrs.' Kibali and Old Kibali were ahead as Oliver ran forward to help his brother carry their father. We walked through the farm going to the main road.I could no longer hear Peter scream. The gnarling grew distance on every step I took.In the next hour, we killed few on our way.

“Is he going to be alright?” Mark and Oliver asked“Yes. It was just a knock out drink. He is okay. We are going to take turn to carry him until we reach a safe distance.” He said placing him down“Peter are you okay.” I walked to peter and asked. I noticed he looked deep in thoughts and worried“ I am okay. I am just tired of all this movement. I wish we could get somewhere and settle.” He said looking dejected“Don’t worry… we will.”Right at that moment the radio broadcasted“ Can someone here me… Hello.. if you are out there and alive, please reply.We are looking for survivors.”“ Hello, we are here.” Peter took the radio from the table and answer before anyone could reply“ Thank God. I am Lisa. We are at Medivines railway station. We have a large space with food, security, water and medication.&rdquo
