Undeads are walking

From Cluj to Athene - Part 12

The other group of survivors from that plane crash, has managed to kill those creatures who were running to them by using the guns these planes were loaded with. And they do manage to save some ammunition for the next attacks.

"If my intuition is right." said Alina to her group while they walk on the route which will lead them to the highway. "We might be able to found salvation."

"Do you think anyone on this city is till alive?" asks Eliza to Ilie.

"I hope so." responded Ilie while he was looking at Eliza broken arm. "Are you feeling okay?"

"It hurts. It hurts a lot."

"I'm sorry I couldn't do anything. I do not have the supplies to help you with."

"We might be able to find something later." said Alina to those two people. "The highway must be filled with soldiers who are trying to control this virus by doing anything in their power. We might have a big chance to be survived and live well until this thing will disappears. Just like Corona did in the 20s."

"That was really a dark time." replied Ilie. "Both for humanity and our planet."

They do manage to get into a few trees on their way to the highway. Alina is the first one to walk into this, while the others are following her. They dodged a few trees, passed one man corpse laying next to a tree, and one dead dog with his belly open and his organs out. This gruesome image made Ana throw up when she saw that dog, and Claudia tried to make her feel better by saying it will be okay, but no matter how you look at it, it will never be an okay image, not even in an apocalypse world.

A few minutes later, they do managed to come to the highway, but when they've got there, their hope for surviving have declined to zero. On the entire highway there are a bunch of cars crashed into each other, people who were once alive, are now undead creature who are walking on the street, in searching for brains and human flesh from humans alive. Alina looked shocked at all of this, and more shocked when she saw a military truck on fire, with a lot of soldiers being killed in this attack.

When the other gathered to Alina, they are also terrified to see the military have failed this. Even though it was only a military truck, there must've been a big chance to kill all of these zombies. Eliza dropped on her knees, she said something on a low volume.

"Our end has come."

"It hasn't come yet." said Ilie to that lady. "Sure. The military couldn't manage to save this highway. But I think we can try our luck to take one of those cars and go to the Athene."

"You say this will be our chance?" asks Ana. "If it is, then we have to take a bus."

"A bus?" asks Claudia. "For only our group?"

"We have to help the others." replied Ilie. "These people are stronger and could give us a chance to made it much farther. Especially, they have someone specialized in cars, so might. You know... Help repair it."

"Ilie is right." replied Alina to the other who were listening to Ilie. "This is much better than walking to the Athene."

"But why we couldn't try to Sunny Beaches or on the other beaches from Bulgaria?"

"Do you know how many people are there?!" asks Alina and Ilie at the same time.

"At this time of the year, there is even dangerous to go there because most of the buildings might be going to fall down. And some are even 12 floors higher than from Cluj." says Ilie. "Athene it is our only chance of survival, plus, if these soldiers couldn't eliminate this virus on this place, do you think they could've had a chance to eliminate here?"

"That's a good point." says Alina to Ilie. "But I prefer to follow our Army orders and go to Athene. I don't like risking on this time, because a risk here might guarantee death of one or maybe more of us."

"Alright." says Ana looking on the left side, and she sees a strange thing. "Is anyone from here seeing a zombie eating another zombie?"

All of those people from their turn to the direction Ana showed up to them. All of them saw what Ana is seeing, and this made them feel disgusted. A zombie creature, is eating a small arm, who was probably from a baby, and that's not it, one of the legs of that zombie there is the child, which is a zombie, with the missing arm and half of his face destroyed. They could definitely see the skull of that baby if they had the courage to approach it, but nobody did because this was such a gruesome image to look at it.

Ana also saw something about that zombie, something which it made him feeling different from the rest of those she had witnessed so far, and that thing it is having a yellow dark colour at his skin than darker and green. She saw Claudia deciding to walk slower to that zombie while she was weaving a knife. Alina let her do the thing.

Claudia approaches at a safe distance, and she proceeds to stab that creature who was still eating the arm, and when it did, she pushed the zombie onto the concrete and looked at the corpse. She was really scared by the fact that it could move, but it didn't move. Then, she took a look at the baby, and she saw the damage he did, it was not pleasant.

"It's safe." says Claudia to the other survivors who are coming after her. "These creatures only react to the sound. So we are all going to be fine if nobody did a loud sound."

"I also noticed that thing." whisper Alina to Claudia at a safe distance. "The sound of the helicopter has drawn more when they were about to rescue me and my team."

"And where is your team?" asks Ilie.

"Dead... All of them are dead. The last one I lost into this flight. He was moving on the second class to guard the plane in case a thing will come back."

"I am sorry to hear it." responds Ilie, while he is looking somewhere to see if they see another zombies. "Um... We got company."

"What do you mean?" asks Claudia, turning to Ilie in direction with the other survivors, and she is looking scared like the other survivors.

They see almost twelve zombies coming into their direction. They are growing to them, walking slowly like they do have an injured leg, and one of them is crawling on this road. Not only that, but they do not know how they do sense them, but Alina ordered these survivors.

"Do not open fire. Try and hit them with a tool or something."

Ilie took out his wrench he found earlier. Claudia prepare her knife to stab a few zombies head. Alina takes out her nightstick, she hadn't used since she escaped from Romania. Eliza sees a wooden stick, large enough to beat a zombie with it. But she couldn't hold it because of her broken arm. And Ana, she decided to use the wrench she took it from Romania and hide it into her large sized backpack with food supplies.

"Do not let any of those things alive." ordered Alina.

"Yes." says Ana, being the first one to bash a thing head with her crowbar, and she looked at the thing. "I... I am sorry."

"He is a dead creature!" responded Claudia after she slit the throat of a zombie and let Ilie hit it so hard, it made the zombie head flies from the body. "He is not human any more."

They continued to fight these zombies, but when they thought they will be only twelve, a few more rise from the far distances and come to them. And the first survivor who decided to use the guns provided was Claudia, who took out a semi-automatic gun and proceed to kill seven zombies coming to them.

"What the f**k are you doing, Claudia?!" yelled Ilie at her. "Now this will attract more zombies!"

"It is too late now, Ilie! We have to find shelter somewhere!" says Claudia.

"No. We have to kill those things!" responded Ilie. "We might be able to have much more chances into killing them than trying to what. Run and find a shelter. We have a wounded person here."

"And what are you proposing?" asks Claudia before she proceeds to empty her magazine of ammo into another zombies who we're coming at her. "Try and fight them. No! We need a shelter. Plus, even if we tried to hit them with a melee, they would still come."

"Both of you!" yelled Alina. "And all of you! Run into the military truck!" she pointed at a military truck damaged not far from here.

Now, all of those five survivors managed to run into the military truck. Get into the cabin in such a hurry. They even managed to bring Eliza here, since she was so close to be bitten by a creature. After they entered there, they see the cabin has a door, so they are using it and locked this cabin. They heard punches coming from the door, and all of those five survivors are going to the darkest cabin place and wait for the moment. If the door breaks it, they will have to fight it until they will become those things.
