Hell on Earth

Act. 1. Chapter 3

T-Ray(including camera): Em.. Hi.. This is Ray, and I'm on a bus with my friends, on the f*****g zombie Apocalypse street. All my optimism is gone. Yes, I was glad that it all started. Heh, I used to think, can I survive in this world? And now my friend has been bitten and is dying. Probably, each of us wondered how long it will last in the world of the Apocalypse, and whether it will be able to survive at all? Now, we're going to pick up my nephew, Matthew's name, he's fifteen. Bill and Ellie sit together and talk about something, probably about how they will save their aunt and son. Moldin, Soul, and Phoenix.. They took on a difficult task... We decided to tell Alba that Jessica was dead. According to all the laws of the zombie Apocalypse genre, she will turn into a flesh-and-blood-hungry, sweet girl until she rots. Varakushka is sitting with Rodriguez, apparently a spark ran between them, these two have never moved away from each other in the past half an hour. Lairs, C J and Victorika discuss something, Victor had a map of the city, apparently choosing the place then go. You need to find a place to spend the night, because sleeping on the bus is not safe.

Victor: We're coming!

T-Ray(taking the camera with him): Op, well, it's time to go, I hope grandma Marisol is still alive.

*The former hockey player turned off the camera and walked towards the driver with a serious face. Walking past the children, at the end of the bus, could hear the sad voice of Alba, who already knew about the fate of her friend. Victor stopped the bus in front of the entrance to the multi storey building and everyone gathered at the driver's seat*

Bill: Laers, here's a walkie-talkie, you'll have one, we'll have the other, if we get in touch

Laers(taking the radio): Whoa, whoa, wait, won't you come with us?

Bill (unpleasantly): No... I, Victor, and Rodriguez will stay here. If anything, Victor can distract the dead with the bus, Rodriguez can cover for them, and I can... I'll solve Jessica's problems. Now we all know it's over

Alba: No.. Maybe she can still be helped...

Phoenix (upset): Look at her... All pale and emaciated.

Soul(awkwardly): Even ashamed of all the things we said to her in the last few days

Varakushka (spreading her hands): What are you talking about? Maybe she even deserved it

Victorika: Okay, Nastya, stop it. Let's go now

Bill (kissing Ellie): Be careful

Ellie (smiling): Everything will be fine, your brother will be with me

Bill(nodding nervously): I'm glad

...

*A small team moved in to rescue a teenager named Matthew, who was in an apartment on the 17th floor, with his grandmother Marisol. It was possible to enter the building itself without problems, the guys practiced killing infected people and it worked well... for now. Unfortunately, the Elevator was broken and I had to go up the stairs, and that's where the first problems occurred. Going up the stairs, between the 5th and 6th floors, several infected people ran out of the door and attacked the group. only Soul, who was almost bitten, had problems, but fortunately, his best friend Phoenix was nearby and saved him. On the way to the 17th floor, this couple had a very interesting dialogue*

Soul:Phoen, thank you, I owe you

Phoenix (smiling): Come on, brother, you would have done the same. How come you missed this zombie?

Soul(awkwardly): I'll be honest, but not a word to anyone... I was looking

Phoenix(grinning maliciously): And to whom? Not me?

Soul(happily): Nah, I was looking at Alba. She stood aside and was afraid to approach the others like me.. You know... Lately, I've started to notice that we have a lot in common. She's afraid, like me

Phoenix: Hah, did you say that, I thought you couldn't

Soul(uncomprehending look): What do you mean? Did you know?...

Phoenix(winking): Brother, you are my best friend, I know everything about you.. In fact, I noticed the way you were looking at each other back at Nate's diner. They stared at each other..*smiles*.. When is the wedding? Oh, I mean,

when you tell her how you feel

Soul: No, no, no, before my friend, need to look after her, to teach all the basics of survival in a zombie apocalypse

Phoenix(nodding): You can teach me in bed. Okay, then we'll continue, almost there...

*The group led by Laers, CJ and Ray, slowly approached the 17th floor, the door to the corridor with apartments was closed. Ellie picked up the radio and tried to contact her husband*

Ellie (radio): Over, Bill, can you hear me?...The reception?...*silence*... Bill, answer me!

Laers: Check the batteries

Varakushka: No, the radio is working, apparently they do not hear

Ellie: Can we send someone down?

Alba (coughing): Ahem, Moldin and I are going

Phoenix(smiling): Can go with you? In case you need help

Alba (flapping her eyelashes): Of course you can, Phoenix, we don't mind

Phoenix(nominating a friend): I'm not talking about myself. I will be useful here, but my friend would be happy to help you

Soul(awkwardly): Huh..

Moldin (shrugging his shoulders): Alba, you stay then, I and Soul can handle it together

Soul(quietly): Together?..

Alba (nodding): Good

Phoenix: Ho-Ho-Ho, well, good luck to you, brother

Laers(taking out a screwdriver): And we... We use close combat, as a last resort, we shoot. God forbid we hurt someone alive

*The boys went below, and the others gathered close, checked their guns, and prepared. C J opened the door a crack and looked inside. Purely. Going a little further, the guys left Varakushka and Vika to watch the open door, and, if anything, to give a signal. They all went quietly down the hall, and Allison pointed to the right door. T-Ray gripped his metal club and turned the door handle, but it was closed. Exhaling, he turned to the others and shrugged. Hearing a child's cry, T-Ray kicked at the door, but nothing happened. The baby's cry stopped. And suddenly, this wooden door is knocked out from the inside and it hits Ray on the head. From the apartment comes a brutalized grandmother who is ready to tear and throw the bodies of victims. Laers and CJ immediately attacked, trying to hit her on the head with their screwdrivers, but she grabbed the guys by the necks and did not allow them to fulfill their plan. Phoenix, with an evil face, ran at the old woman, who was looking at the dawn of life. Kicking Sanchez in the chest, the guy flew off and fell under the girls ' feet. Ellie turned the gun on the head of Marisol, Alba and moved away to the side. The old woman let go of Hodge and Whittaker, and with a serious gait, went in the direction of the rival, but it did not last long. Allison was hit in the head with an accurate shot, and later, a 15-year-old boy ran out of the apartment and hugged his mother*

Matt (upset): I thought you weren't coming..

Ellie (happily): It's all right, it's all right now.

Matt: Where's dad?

Ellie: He's downstairs, waiting for us

Matt(whispering): Who are these people?

T-Ray(getting up from the floor): These are our friends, boy

Matt (happily): Uncle Ray!

*The boy hugged his godfather and walked away from him with a smile. After looking at each other, the boys headed for the exit, but stopped abruptly because of Moldin's voice coming from the radio. When Laers heard the shots, He pulled out his radio and contacted his friend. Moldin told the boys to go down immediately. Without hesitation, the group went down the stairs, met Soul and Chernov, and slowly approached the bus. Corpses of infected people lay around, windows were splattered with blood, and doors were open. The trio of friends walked slowly to the bus, leaving the others behind, and when they heard the shuffle of feet, T-Ray cleared the blood from his stick and tensed, as did his two friends. Passing into the bus, CJ noticed a head with glasses among the three infected people. As they got closer, they recognized Victor, who had been bitten, and his toothpick had been stuck in the eye of another dead man. Laers killed one, Ray another, and CJ had to finish off the former driver. The

body slammed into his head with a screwdriver and fell to the floor. At the end of the bus, in the back seats, Jessica sat with her head down, clutching her guns, the men came closer, but first Ray tapped the roof with his metal stick, but Jessica didn't even flinch. While the guys went for the others, Laers examined the girl's body, in the area of the temple, she had a small hole from a bullet. Apparently, Bill still fulfilled his promise. But where is he? Closer to 16: 30, the bus was cleared of unnecessary bodies, another half hour was spent on the funeral of friends who had gone to another world. At 5: 00, everyone got on the bus, and everyone was in a bad mood except Allison. Strangely she reacted to the disappearance of her husband and didn't even get upset but the Varakushka was enraged by the fact that Rodriguez is gone along with the Bill. Where did he go? What to do next? Where to hide?*
