One week ago, in a supermarket close to the building where twenty plus survivors will stay later that day, there was a teenager at the cashier's desk and he was doing what cashiers do, scanning the products, asking for money from the customer, and giving the change to customers who have paid too much. The cashier's name is Mike, and this guy hates his job, not only because his co-workers are making fun of him, but because he hates the amount of money he gets for an hour. It is a disgrace even for slaves who are working in Brazil.
One customer who wears a surgical mask on his face walks into the store, while Mike is looking quite amused at that guy, but he is holding on, and is laughing because he does not want to have his salary cut, not again. This month he has already got cut two times because of his annoying co-workers who have blamed him for lighting a cigarette in a storage room. "Filthy Gen Z spoiled brat," says Mike to himself when he remembers those times, but then he realizes he is also a Gen Z, but not a spoiled brat.
The customer with surgical masks takes from a shelf a kitchen knife, and also a large box with cookies and a Coca- Cola bottle, and Mike does not even care why this guy needs a kitchen knife because a customer is a customer, and also, today was the day he finally damaged to quit this dammed job. The customer with surgical masks approaches the cashier's desk and those things he has taught them there, to let Mike scan them by using the scanner every grocery store or supermarket has. After he had finished scanning, the customer paid Mike and he ran from the store, without even taking the rest, which made Mike quite upset because his co-workers would maybe do a thing and tell their boss that he was stealing the money from the cash register.
Mike put the money back into the cash register, and then he heard a sound "BANG" outside like something had thrown a grenade or something had exploded. Mike leaves the cashier's spot for a few seconds to look outside and find out what is happening. And at that time, two co-workers of Mike Mike's decided to go into the cash register, take all the money from there, and put it into Mike's backpack they had stolen a while ago. But when they approached the cash register, those two heard screaming from the boss' office and they decided to run there to see what was happening. But when they arrive there, they are greeted by their boss, who is now a zombie, and another zombie, the one who was biting his neck. These get attacked by those zombies who, not much later, have started to eat their organs like crows eating a wild animal's body.
Mike is still outside, and he sees a car accident between a truck and a bus. The truck was not carrying gas, just some pallets with supplies for a market, and on the bus, eight civilians were just dead, but there was somebody who had left somehow from the bus and he was walking around. The people who were there and looking at the accident had decided to go and try to help the man, and Mike was coming there too, so how is that survivor?
When a man approached that "survivor of the crash", the survivor had already jumped on him and started biting his face. The image was horrifying for those people, and also for Mike, who had instantly thrown up. While that zombie was biting the man, a few men wanted to take that thing from there, but one of them got attacked by that thing again, but this time, he bit the neck of someone. He bit so hard that this man fell and laid on the ground. Other citizens were trying to help him, but when he opened his eyes, he starts reanimating as a zombie and starts biting another person, this time a black female who would later become a zombie. Mike remained far from those people and he realized something. All of the zombie-apocalypse video games and movies are not a wasted time like his father said one day, now he will have to use the techniques learned to acquire liberty and be alive.
Mike ran into the store to alert his co-workers, but it was already too late. He saw his own co-worker, the one who intentionally lighted a cigarette in the storage room, to then blame Mike for doing it, lying on the floor and trying to scream for help, while a zombie was eating his whole ass. Mike had weirdly smiled at that bastard and he said to him in a weird tone.
"You get what you deserve."
Then, Mike runs onto a shelf and takes from there, as fast as he can do, a knife, also a pan, and he sees something there between the refrigerator which contained mineral water and juice, a crowbar. Mike takes the crowbar and he runs to that zombie who was eating his co-worker's ass. He takes a swing and, with one hit, he destroys the head of that zombie, who then is lying, with his destroyed face, on his co-worker's ass, between the checks.
"Thank you!" yelled the co-worker to Mike, who was then doing another swing with the crowbar. "Wait..." says the co-worker, who was already too late.
Mike made the last swing with his crowbar, which had broken his co-worker's head. And after he has done that, he takes his backpack which was already on the floor, he runs to another shelf and he takes from there every supply he can get, a few chocolate bars, water bottles from the refrigerator, a few great sources of food in cans, and he also takes from another shelf three pieces of bread. And before he was about to leave the place, he took off his shirt, which represented the logo of this supermarket, and yelled.
"I QUIT!"
Then, Mike runs into a hideout while he is carrying a whole backpack with supplies, and the hideout he is running to is a huge block where a few people were running there, the huge block where he will stay for a while and where he will meet the other two survivors who will help him go to the dock to steal a boat to help them escape this country. While he was running to that building, he also saw Ronald, who was at a few meters' distance from him and running to the same building.

In the present day, on the block which contains three floors with cars, they are searching for a car who can help them dive into this situation, a jeep to be specific. They could take any other car, but a jeep offers them a great chance to survive these big waves of zombies.
These three survivors are already on the second floor, and they have found a jeep car somewhere here. Mike arrives first at that jeep and he notices it is looking, so, Ronald takes Mike off and he tells both of them to get away. The two take a few steps back, while Ronald is breaking the glass of the jeep by using his hammer from the backpack he got after he changed someone's tools on the second day of this infection or apocalypse. He successfully breaks the jeep window. He gets first onto the jeep and he tries to turn on the car like the thieves from GTA Games are doing, trying to turn it on by working on some warriors. Then Gerald got into the jeep and he was sitting on the passage seat. He then unlocks the doors at the back of that jeep, and there Mike enters.
When Mike entered the back of the jeep, he found two shots there, and also three boxes of shells that belonged to the shotguns.
"Wicked," says Mike.
"What?" he asked Ronald, taking a look at Mike, and then he found two shots there. "Thank God for Americans!"
After a few minutes, the jeep starts and Ronald is driving this car from this parking lot into the streets of Holland.
