A Tense

"They're not outside." Vida stared at Jane with wide eyes, then she looked at Sam and Ilda.

"I can't find them. It was so quiet outside, and the van they showed me yesterday wasn't there either."

As Oliver manages to save Jane and Vida, they drive past the van, which they cover with a brush. According to Vida, it is pretty intelligent.

“Don't you remember wrong, Vid?” Jane asked. He kept the ax in his hand, always on guard under any circumstances.

"Jane, I'm not you."

Jane rolled his eyes lazily. They were college friends and when the zombies attacked, they were at the foot of the hill to collect specimens. Jane often made mistakes compared to Vida.

"Then where are they? What are they doing again?” Ilda was trembling, she stood up very agitatedly. She had refused to come out of this cave for days even though Oliver said it was safe around here. She was so traumatized by what she saw then.

Her neighbors, who often talk to her die from being bitten by zombies or turning into zombies.

"Calm down, Ida. Oliver is a strong man. Just watch him save us both and make such a great shelter.” Vida tried to calm Ilda down, she made a fake smile even though inside she couldn't calm down.

Sam embraced Ilda. "Vida's words are true. We better pray he's okay, if Oliver's gone he must have a plan, Ilda.”

Ilda stared into her husband's gray eyes. She tried to believe it and finally sat back down.

"What plan?! You are crazy!" Dereck cursed at Oliver. Since earlier his body hit the car very hard, he felt pain almost all over his body.

Oliver was still trying to be so focused, his eyes didn't blink and his hands moved quickly to change gears. The car drives and then performs a high-speed drift.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Dereck is sure that he could die at the hands of his friends!

“Oliver!”

Boom!

The van driven by Oliver crashed into a sedan at high speed, causing the sedan to be pushed so hard and hit the zombies that were blocking them. Oliver quickly controlled the steering wheel of his car, then stopped in front of the school that was his destination.

Oliver came out, he took his gun and shot several times at the zombies running in front of them. Dereck did the same, he hurriedly followed Oliver.

The people in the school were pale-faced, they were not excited because their food supply was running low.

They can only eat once a day.

“If we continue like this, we will die.” A blonde-haired woman spoke. His uniform had a few blood stains on it.

Everyone looks on. They looked at the complaining woman.

“Yes, we are all going to die, Leah. Are you satisfied with that?” The short-haired man in the blue jacket punched the wall. He looked distraught.

Their life expectancy was already very low, everyone knew that their lives were in danger and Leah said something that made them even more depressed.

“Nolan, I mean we should get out. I know we can do it, the zombies only respond to loud noises.” Leah stood up, she expressed what she had been thinking for a long time.

"Go out? Just go out alone, I don't want to. Many died, look at us, only a few survived.”

Leah was silent, she squeezed her hand and tried to be braver.

"We're short on food, we need to eat, Nolan."

"You can only dress up. You better shut up, Leah. Everyone here is already stressed out, plus your chatter is pissing me off even more.” Axel glared at her as he held the baseball bat and had a hideous expression. He is indeed a delinquent child who likes to bully other people.

Boom!

An explosion was heard, and everyone in the room on the third floor looked out the window.

Bang! Bang!

Gunshots were heard, and they tensed up even more. Their lips trembled and Leah watched closely what was happening.

Two people got out of the Van and killed the zombies quickly. A brown-haired man drew his medium-sized sword, Leah's eyes widened when she saw the man's movement.

“H-he killed off the zombies really quickly! We have to open the door for them!” Leah screamed, making Axel, who had been holding himself back since earlier, angry.

He pushed Leah's body against the wall.

“Damn, woman! If you do that, I will kill you!” Axel threatened. “They can cancel everyone who is here!”

Leah's neck was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe properly and saw everyone there was looking at her. They then averted their eyes, they didn't care what happened to Leah.

Nolan pulled Axel's hand, causing Leah to fall to the floor and the two men stared at her with very sharp eyes.

"Do not exaggerate. You want to kill her?" Nolan's voice was low, his strength level with Axel's. The hands of the two of them were clashing strength.

“That woman always says nonsense and irritates others. She can't do anything but dress up, she's a spoiled child and doesn't know what survival means!”

The sound of fighting is still heard. But these two people are still at odds.

“Axel, everyone here is in the same situation. If we are not together, we will die. You have to respect other people's lives."

“Tch! She is the one who should appreciate, her words are so digressive and dangerous!”

Their breaths could be felt on each other's skin.

"Hey! The two of them cleared the zombies quickly! The zombies are clean!”

A man with glasses shouted, Axel and Nolan immediately looked towards the window, and they saw two men standing and a man holding a sword suddenly saw them.

"What's wrong with him?" Axel shivered at the sight.

"Where's Leah?" a short-haired woman screamed, she looked around the room and didn't find Leah.

“Damn it! She will open the barricade we made!” Axel came out of the room, he ran fast, followed by Nolan.

"We have to stop Leah. Otherwise, we will die!"

Hearing Nolan's words, several people there also ran fast, they tried to catch up with Leah, who they were sure was just a short distance from them.

"I will kill you! serious!" Axel screamed, he squeezed his baseball bat hard. From beside him suddenly Nolan passed him, and he ran faster than Axel, a long-distance runner from his school.

Leah came down the stairs, her legs ached, but she kept running.

“Just a little more, just a little more...” Leah thought.

She had opened the two barricades blocking each floor, and now she had arrived in front of a large pith covered with chairs, tables, or anything else that could block the door.

Bam!

Leah pulled haphazardly, she kicked and opened up a bit of adequate access. All she had to do was remove the wooden strut blocking the glass door in front of her.

“Leah! Do not do that!" Nolan shouted, he stared at Leah with imploring eyes.

"I have to do it, Nolan... He can help us... I'm sure of it..." With rapid breaths, she spoke.

"I'll kill you bitch if you open it!" Axel screamed, he ran and almost got Leah's hand, but Leah was faster and pulled the wood that thought the door was first.

“Damn bitch!”
