Zombies Apocalypse

Chapter 6

Gabriel redirected them in the same direction. Over by the front entryway." The girl Jake had referred to as "Lisa" came around the side of one of the SUVs in the vicinity and was followed by the man who laughed. With a look that no one could possibly have perceived as threatening, Gabriel's eyes narrowed. What?” he insisted.

Lisa offered her explanation, shaking her head, "They're coming through in large numbers at the front gate." Your vehicle is doomed.

Gabriel said indignantly, "Your mom is a lost cause," and he immediately regretted it. He quickly mumbled, "I-I'm sorry." In LoL, I grew too accustomed to saying that to stupid people. "Priorities, people!" When Jake snapped her fingers in the space between Lisa and Gabriel, it seemed to shock everyone present for a split second. Monsters that eat flesh are arriving. Moving forward!

“Right!” The huge man concurred, and he and Lisa immediately turned towards their separate vehicles and moved in. Gabriel was half-dragged across the parking lot to the final vehicle by Jake, who held him by the shirt collar. She pushed him in, and he scaled, rapidly searching for two seats close to one another, yet finding to his mistake that there was just a single seat in the back line, and one seat in the center.

Jake demanded, pushing him forward, "Hurry up." He sat down and quickly walked around to the back. In front of him, Jake sat down after getting up. The door was shut by someone, and they started to move.

Gabriel realized in a sudden and embarrassing moment that he must have chosen the caravan's kids section. A young girl, probably only a preteen, was to his right, and a boy, probably a freshman in high school, was to his left.

The girl smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Charles," appearing to be unaware of the world around them. She smiled broadly as she extended her hand to him.

He quickly released her hand again after saying, "Uh...I'm Gabriel," shaking it gently. He'd always been most uncomfortable around children. He never could figure out why they were happening. It appeared as though they were only occasionally peeking into the real world and living in their own world.

The cars had already come around the corner and approached the exit gate, which, despite their close proximity, stubbornly remained closed. As a feGabriel ng grew within Gabriel, it appeared as though his stomach had disappeared.

He spoke softly, "The power is out." He turned around and stared at the three people in the seat row in front of him.

“What?” While scowling at him, one of them demanded.

Gabriel responded, suddenly becoming more assertive, "I live here." He leaned slightly forward in his seat. The power outage was the only reason I left my apartment today. And if it went off in my apartment, it must have because it always does. Additionally, the power of the apartment complex is connected to the gate. And so...” his tone changed.

Jake concluded, "The gate won't open without power." She quickly turned around and leaned forward to face the driver. Did you hear everything, Mac?

The man, Macintosh, evidently, gestured his head. " He responded, "I heard it," then yelled and slammed the brakes. Come here! He said, and he got out of the car quickly. They quickly had a shouted conversation as they could see him hurrying over to one of the other cars through the windshield.

Gabriel stated, "We're going to have to try the entrance."

Jake turned around to face him again, his eyes narrowing with irritation. Are you stupid?” She yelled, " Have you been paying attention? Everyone is at the entrance. That is not an option for us.

Before she finished speaking, Gabriel was shaking her head. The only way is this. Trust me; I've been there. There are only two options: the entrance and the exit, and we won't be able to use the exit. The gate is impassable for our vehicle. We'd run the risk of causing the cars too much damage.

He remained silent for a brief moment as his brain's gears sped up. He had no idea how fast the plan was coming together. He was aware of his obligation.

Out of nowhere he was up and on his feet, made a beeline for the side entryway. " What are you engaged in?” As he emerged from the vehicle and opened the door, Jake demanded, Are you insane?

He hurried over to the car where Mac was having his frantic conversation with Marshall without pause. He growled angrily when he saw Gabriel approaching. What on God's green earth would you say you are doing here? I advised you to wait in the vehicle.

Gabriel said, ignoring the other man, "We have to go out the front." It is the only method."

"The back?" The big man said in a dry voice, " Are you serious? They are coming from that area. We would never make it there."

Gabriel replied, "Well, we're certainly not getting through here." Although it would probably take too long, we might be able to force the gate. Additionally, if we attempted to break it open with a vehicle, we would probably just damage it. I assume we don't want to run the risk of losing any of the cars. Gabriel could tell that this line hit close to home. Based on how full the cars were, it was likely that they didn't find too many working vehicles, and the ones they did find were just big enough for the group. That group would probably have to continue on foot if they lost one of the cars.

He continued, "Lisa, or whatever her name is, said the front gate had been forced." This means that it is already open. That means we can get through it,” he said triumphantly at the end.

Jake, who appeared to have been following him, made the observation, "If we go through the front, we will have to drive through the creatures." Furthermore, if we hit or run over one of them, we may also lose a vehicle.

"No, see, it's just a matter of leading the creatures away," said Gabriel, shaking his head. Three sets of eyes looked at each other in disbelief. “ Gabriel rolled his eyes and sighed. Look, I just led a large group of them out of my apartment and went through one of the interior gates and lost them. It isn't hard. They don't move that quick and they follow aimlessly. Having them follow someone away from the front door until it is clear enough for everyone else to drive through is all that is required.

Robert looked down. And who do you think would be so irrational and suicidal as to engage in the distraction and be left behind?

Before anyone else could respond, Mac said abruptly, "I'll do it." He appeared to be staring into the distance, far beyond the car and people in front of him, with hazy and unfocused gray eyes.

“What? No. Don't be dumb, Gabriel yelled. I'll perform it.

“You?” The word made the big man almost laugh.

He barked back angrily, "Yes, me." I have a car, as I stated, and it is over by the entrance. I can enter it and follow you guys out through the gate once I lose my posse. Simply drive me over near the entrance is all I need from you. I'll get out and clear the way when we get close enough.

A level of faltering actually stuck to the gathering, yet it was obvious from the demeanor on their countenances that they were all dazzled by's thought process out his arrangement sounded. " The big man said, "Well, I take back the quip about useless survivors," nodding in agreement.

Mac concurred, "It just might work."

With a hand wave of dismissal, Gabriel scoffed, "Of course it will work."

Jake said suddenly, "I'll go, too."

The three men went to take a gander at her, not a solitary one of them bGabriel evening what they heard.

She explained, confused, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it." Furthermore, two people are more likely to succeed than one."

"It's too risky!" The large man objected.

Gabriel patted the big man on his bulky upper arm, which was resting on the vehicle's window sill, and said, "For once, I agree with Muscles." You would merely put yourself in danger.

She replied, brushing a stray hair from her face, "Please." Like you wouldn't stand a chance without my assistance out there. You could have been killed by any one of them.

Gabriel said, blushing with shame, "It caught me by surprise." It will not occur again. Also, you don't know what my car looks like or how complicated it is like, like I do. I've been living here for a long time. I cannot allow you to wander off to unknown destinations out there. I won't look for you, and I won't sit in my car waiting for you, wondering if you'll show up or not. No, only one of us has a better chance. We can't have one person waiting on another. That only increases danger.

She began, "But-," but Mac interrupted her.

He barked, "No, discussion over," and grabbed her by the arm. He is not part of the group; you are. In addition, we are not putting anyone in the group at risk by supporting this child's crazy plan. He then turned to face Gabriel. How familiar are you with the area?

Gabriel shook his head. Comparably well as anybody, I assume."

"Just a block west of here is a strip mall. We'll hang tight for you there, however just for a couple of moments. None more. Have you got it?

Gabriel gave a nod. I know where it is.

“Good.” Mac unfolded a street map that he had taken out of his pocket. In the event you're not sufficiently speedy, or that spot is additionally overwhelmed, here's where we're going." From the strip mall, he drew a line on the map that led to an area that was almost entirely blank, about 100 miles outside of town.

Gabriel snatched Mac by the arm and knelt down to check his watch with a frown. It was at that point mid-evening, they actually expected to make the way and get out and about. Dark storm clouds rose in the sky above them, covering them in a dull gray mist and dimming the light. This indicated that night would arrive earlier than usual.
