There was another fence with an entrance. This time they'd be able to get through since there was no wire on the top.
"Alright come here." He positioned himself against the door. Makayla put her foot into his palm as he boosted her up and she climbed the door.
"Now listen. You just open it. Nothin' else."
"Yes sir." Makayla rolled her eyes. As if she hasn't been taking care of herself for many years by now.
They then explored the street, searching the houses and finding supplies.
"Yeah that's Bill's handy work." Joel declared as they stood in front of a massive blockage so they couldn't continue making their way down the street.
"He's really making it harder for us huh." Makayla scanned the blockage with her eyes, wondering how much time it took him to do this.
Joel turned back around, trying to find another way through and the luck was on their side. There was a short aisle in between the houses.
Suddenly a clicker run up on them but before he could get close a bomb went off, ripping him apart.
"Holy fuck what the hell was that?" Makayla cursed, she wasn't expecting that at all.
"That would be one of Bill's traps."
"Isn't your friend a bit paranoid?"
"Now that's putting it lightly." Joel replied.
"What's the deal with Bill anyway?" Makayla asked as they entered another building.
"He helped us smuggle stuff into the city. He knows how to find things."
"Great. Let's just hope we don't blow up by the time we get to him." Makayla declared and Joel replied without looking at her, "Just watch your step you'll be fine."
They searched the building and then went back out. There was a truck and another ladder laying on the ground right next to it.
Joel placed it against the truck as they both climbed up. There was a dead man sitting on the ground with his back resting against the wall. Joel noticed a bow next to his body with arrows.
He picked it up, scanning it when Makayla suddenly ripped it from from him.
"Hell yeah I'm keeping this." She said and stretched the cord as if she was about to shoot before she placed around herself .
"You know how to use that thing?" Joel asked, his voice neutral but curious.
"Yep. I was starting with a bow."
They jumped from the truck to a building and down.
Another buidling stood right in front of them. They got inside, gathering all the available supplies.
"This way." Joel notified, walking towards the back door. He opened them and something wrapped around his ankle, "Oh shit." He cursed as it lift him up into the air so he was hanging head down.
"Joel!" Makayla shouted. The sudden situation surpised her. She ran up to him and they both grabbed onto each other so she'd keep him steady.
"Goddammit Bill." Joel grunted.
"There! That fridge looks like it's some kind of counterweight." He led Makayla as she ran up to it and jumped up on the fridge. She took out her pocket knife and started cutting the rope but it was too thick.
She heard groaning behind her back as she turned her head to see what was going on. Bunch of infected were trying to climb the fence.
"Shit here they come." Joel took out his gun and aimed at the first one that got through, putting a bullet in his head.
More of them were coming as Joel kept shooting them. On of them tried climbing the fridge but Makayla kicked him down and Joel shot through his head.
"Anytime now!" Joel shouted.
"It's not cutting!" Makayla shouted back, moving her hand even faster.
He managed to shoot another three infected before Makayla finally cut it, making Joel finally fall to the ground.
She took out her gun and started firing at the ones closest to her. "Watch out!" She shouted at Joel as one of them ran up on him while he was standing up.
It pinned him to the ground as Joel tried to fight him off, not giving it a chance to bite him and he felt relief as soon as a machete cut through the infected face.
It was Bill.
"Get off your ass and on your feet." He helped him stand up and all three of them started running away.
"This way! This way!!" Bill shouted, running into a tight aisle. There was a door he opened and they got inside.
The infected were still after them, going around the building and inside through a different entrance.
Just as they saw them Joel and Makayla threw inflammable bottles on the ground in the front of the entrance and every single one that stepped inside burned down.
"We're almost there follow me." Bill called out and they did as he said.

"More of them coming! This way through the truck!" He screamed before they got through the truck, getting to some door.
He unlocked it as quickly as he could. Bill and Joel pushed the door closed and Joel kept pushing against it until Bill locked it and they were safe.
