Hell on Earth

Act 1. Chapter 5

Varakushka(holding herself in hand): Well, what are we going to do? Huh? Moldin left his weapons to the dead, and he couldn't get to the bus

Alba(coming closer): But it's not his fault, it can happen to everyone

Varakushka(rolling her eyes): Oh, don't push me here... The guy is strong, could have followed the bag

Moldin(sadly): I really didn't do it on purpose..

Laers: All is well, some still have guns, now we will climb to the roof of the supermarket and from there we will be able to climb to the bridge. CJ, do you have the map with you?

CJ(taking out a map): Yes, judging by it, the bridge goes into a tunnel, then the warehouse building and another krugo-square

Varakushka: But you did not calculate that not everyone will be able to move to the roof of this store!

Victorika(modestly): Nastya, everything will be fine, don't worry

CJ(nodding): I agree, starting a fire at this point is not a good idea. We made mistakes, in the future, we will take them into account and try not to repeat them

*Suddenly, a wooden beam is pushed out from the roof of the store, which falls directly to our group. When the sun stopped shining in his eyes, it became clear that it was Rodriguez. The same police officer who disappeared with Bill. After waving to them, Laers and CJ went first to make sure of everything. Then moved Varakushka, Victorika and Alba. Behind them, Matt, Allison, Soul, and T-Ray. Moldin remained to push Sanchez, who was clearly afraid of falling into a pile of dead men. Their hands were reaching for him. Chernov slapped Phoenix on the shoulder and grabbed his arm, dragging him along. They slowly walked along the beam, which cracked under their weight, meanwhile, the infected began to climb on the garage the same way as the guys. Phoenix was last, so the zombies could reach him from the garage. The piece of wood crunched as if it were going to break, but before that, Moldin jumped on the roof and dragged Sanchez with him. Fortunately, the entire group moved to the bridge*

T-Ray: Now explain, what the hell that was?

Rodriguez: What do you mean?

Phoenix(in rhyme): t**s are hanging down. You know exactly what we're talking about

Varakushka(upset): Why did you leave us? Where did he go?

Matt (hard): Where's my dad? Answer me, moustache!

Rodriguez (smiling): Whoa, easy, I'll explain on the way.

...

Rodriguez: I, Bill, and a few other people had a hunch that there might be some kind of disaster...

Phoenix (interrupting): How could you know?

Rodriguez: A scientist who knew bill told him about a drug that was supposed to cure some kind of disease, but instead gave birth to a virus. The infection itself spread the day before yesterday, but it reached us only yesterday. In a couple of hours, it will reach other countries, and in a week, maybe other continents... In General, we knew about this and prepared in advance. The place where we are going now is called "Bacon" because of the street's name. Everything is already there, stocks, residents, leaders of this "community". We left you to go and see for yourself.

T-Ray: Did Victor know that, too?

Rodriguez (nodding): What? Driver? Yes, Victor is a former military man, an acquaintance of Bill's. His father was one of the scientists.

Laers (squinting): Is it that easy?

Rodriguez (smiling): You won't believe it, but Yes. There are about a hundred people in the settlement, and Bill sent me to get you. The settlement is managed by 3 people. Josh King, Otto Weasley, and our Bill. Each is responsible for a specific function. Bill for weapons, Otto for food, and John for order and law.

*The guys started to smile, apparently they like what the police officer says. Laers and CJ still didn't believe what they'd heard, but it was worth checking, especially since they had no place to go. Matthew was happy to see his father soon, but his mother wasn't happy about it. Phoenix, Soul, Alba, and Moldin walked separately and discussed something, perhaps future life in the settlement. Varakushka wanted to snuggle up to the officer, wanted to hug him and kiss him, but she's not like that, is she? Although only one person knows this, her friend Vika, who was walking with CJ and talking to him furiously. Leaving Laers and T-Ray behind, CJ became interested in Vika and did not notice anything around him except her.*

T-Ray(smiling): They look good together

Laers (nodding): I agree, it's time to find him a girl, and then one all the time

T-Ray(grinning): You so the, too,, so can we with you that any'll arrange, handsome?

Laers(grinning back): M-m - m, then undress, male

*And after this words, Whittaker and Williams burst out laughing on the entire the end of the tunnel, guys already began to cry with such not funny jokes. Or maybe not a joke... The group came out of the darkness into a bright light, the sun was not so hot, and the rays blinded their eyes*

Rodriguez (loudly): There's a warehouse nearby, we need to go in there, pick up some things for the community, the leaders asked, and then we'll go to our new home. No one mind?

CJ: What do we need to pick up?

Rodriguez: It used to be a regular warehouse, but we kept ammunition and supplies there, preparing for this day of judgment

T-Ray(looking around): Let's do it all and go on, for we are in such an open place that...

*There was an alarm and glass smashing behind them. It turned out that a man fell from the roof of the house directly on the car, and the alarm system quickly attracted the attention of the infected. When he reached the warehouse, Rodriguez immediately started trying to open the gate, because he knew that the doors were locked from the inside. With strong muscles, Moldin began helping the policeman while the others fought back in hand-to-hand combat. Opening the gate, the guys started to climb through. First the girls and the baby, then the men. Rodriguez left Moldin and quickly crawled under the gate. Realizing that it was hard, Chernov began to urge everyone. Phoenix and Laers were the last. The boys began to help hold the gate on the other side, and Moldin quickly climbed through from below and began to help them. Laers crawled, followed by Sanchez, but it was not there! Phoenix was grabbed by the leg and was not allowed to get through, the guy started shouting to be pulled out. Soul, like a true friend, immediately rushed to help his friend, as did the others. When Moldin could no longer hold on, Phoenix screamed, either in fear or pain, but the boys managed to pull Him out and then closed the gate. All were safe again*

Soul(excitedly): Brother, how are you? Not bitten?

Phoenix(exhaling): No, I'm fine... Only the pants will need to be changed

Rodriguez: Are you scared?

Phoenix(with sarcasm): f*****g-digging... How do I get out now?

Rodriguez(looking around): I have a walkie-talkie, I'll contact Bill, we'll stay here today, and in the morning the bastards will be gone

Laers(frowning): What did you call them?

Rodriguez: Oh, bastards, that's what they call them in Bacon, I don't really like it myself, but I'm trying to get used to it.

Moldin (seriously): Well, that's enough, let's put it all out. I'll never believe half the bullshit you said.

Rodriguez (exhaling): Okay... We really knew that this was going to happen, and in a couple of months we gathered about 50 people and slowly rebuilt the streets of Bacon. The "settlement" itself has been around for about a week

Soul: Normally so

Rodriguez(sighing):... We weren't the only ones who knew. In addition to us, there are different groups, according to the type of our community, all different. Someone was going to live by the rules of the streets and all the other gang stuff. Someone was going to live peacefully, like us and «Legion»

Laers: What kind of Legion?

Rodriguez (honestly): I don't know, I haven't met any of their group, no one has met them yet.

*After a few hours of conversations and all sorts of wishes, the guys settled down as they wanted and went to bed. But everyone knew that it was worth being prepared, who knows what Rodriguez is hiding? You won't be able to sleep well anyway, knowing that infected people, or even worse, bandits, may come here. But do not worry about it now, it is better to go to sleep, and in the morning to understand. Good night, listener, I was with you, Ray, who records everything on a video camera. Maybe someday, someone will see it*

Phoenix (sleepy): Ray,stop-f*****g-talking! Go to sleep

Soul (sleepily): Support...

T-Ray: Sorry, good night everyone

...*silence*...
