Undeads are walking

From Cluj to Athene - Part 23

Thirty minutes later, in the ocean, at about one kilometer from the docks, the motorboat that was taken by Ilie is on its way to a safe distance. The boat is driven by Ilie who is not feeling well because he back-stabbed his "friends" by stealing a way of getting help.

While he is driving the boat, Ilie is looking at the ocean, and he sees there countless corpses who were once humans, and now are zombies who were killed by the water or zombies who have mastered swimming. One of those zombies was "swimming" to Ilie's boat, but he got his pistol out of the weapon he held from his chest. He aimed his gun at the head of the creature. At first it was hard to try and hit the creatures because of the way they moved in the water. He moves hysterically, which makes the thing even much harder than trying to shoot a zombie runner from a close distance. He was shot three times. The first two shots didn't hit the creature's head, but the third one hit the thing, and it makes it stop from moving, and it proceeds to slowly drown into the ocean.

"...Shit." says Ilie after he counts the ammo from the clip of his handgun. He only had eight bullets left for the handgun, and the one from his backpack was for a submachine gun. And he didn't manage to work on it.

While he navigates to the ocean, he sees a few cars driving on a street, from a very far distance. Those cars were probably his "friends", he thought Ilie. He is also hoping that they won't notice him. Thankfully for Ilie, these cars continued to move, and they didn't stop on the street to look at him, nor did they slow down, they were driving at a high speed.

He sees a few buildings on fire on a high hill, other buildings close to the street, and he hears an explosion coming from the dock. He looks back, and he sees a crane that is used to carry containers onto ships. Ilie got scared at how the building would proceed to slowly fall into the ocean. It gave him goosebumps and at first he thought the crane would be falling into the ocean, but it fell on the ship which was there, probably to be loaded with containers. The crane fell on the ship, and it caused big damage that would cost a lot if humanity were still alive, like three days ago.

After a few minutes of navigating this ocean, he managed to see the ship he was aiming to go. When he got close to that ship, he could see a human there, who was waving at him as a sign of requiring "Help!" he thought Ilie, but the sign that human had made it was completely different. Ilie was about to wave back at him, but suddenly, a big explosion came, and it destroyed the ship. And this explosion has also created some difficulties for Ilie, such as trying to keep the boat from not going down. But a big part of the ship, which was a huge metal part of the bottom, is flying at Ilie, crushing his boat and him. Nobody would've been able to survive that hit, let alone the sharks who had come thanks to Ilie's blood drawing in the ocean while he was going on the bottom and the explosion.

He got eaten by those sharks, even though he wasn't alive anymore.

In a matter of seconds, only the crushed backpack from Ilie's food supplies, which are now gone, and the weapons crushed by that big metal part of the ship that just flew into Ilie's body.

Meanwhile, on the road to the Athene, in the car where Alin and Radu are sitting, Radu proceeds to wake up from the sleep he got from Ilie.

"Arrgh! My head." says Radu.

"Are you alright, Radu?" asked Alin the first moment he saw his brother getting up.

"Yes... I am fine. only the head hurts a little."

"No wonder," says the driver of this car, who's Laura. "The man who hit did a hard swing, and it managed to get the boat."

"That bastard," says Radu, feeling angry. "If I ever come across his face, then I will see him after this mess. I will beat him until he forgets he was in the national team."

"He was?" asks Claudia.

"Yeah... I saw him once on TV. He played horribly," says Radu.

"But at least he was a good doctor to Alin."

"You have got to agree on that one," jokes Alin laughed, and this made Claudia laugh a bit, but this made Radu smile.

"You are alight?" asks Radu to Alin while he is looking at his leg.

"Probably it will start to cure." says Alin. "Anyway. How much longer do we have?"

"About a few more, a hundred kilometers, I think."

"W-Where are we going exactly?" asks Radu, feeling thrown away. "To a port, right?"

"Yes. We are going to take the Port of Piraeus." says Claudia, who proceeds to turn on the radio.

"To everyone who is still in Greece!" says the guy from the radio broadcast. "Head to the Port of Piraeus! There is a boat coming in almost every day to transport the people transporting the designed islands taken by the survivors' camp! If you are a man or a woman who doesn't have a fever at 38 Celsius, doesn't present light green or yellow skin, and doesn't have black veins, or red eyes, come to the Port of Piraeus! I repeat this message! To every-"

Then Claudia closes the radio station, and he says to Radu.

"Now you do understand where are we going?"
