It's a supermarket

About fifteen minutes had passed since we successfully found the bridge that Saya mentioned. From there, we took a turn to the left and kept going straight. Or well, we tried to go straight, but the road ended up being blocked. So we instead took a right turn before turning left again two intersections later.

(Based on Saya's information, the supermarket is next to the stream. It's three floors in height, yet the structure itself is not supposed to be very big, about two medium- to small sized houses in width and three to three and a half in length...or, from the way she explained it, I'd say about twenty to thirty meters in width and fifty to sixty in length. Not too big, but not small either...)

"Turn left here, it should be around here..." Saya cuts off my thought as she points towards the left, her eyes staying focused on the map.

"I just hope that place ain't a corpse hangout" I respond as I slow down the car and take the turn she just mentioned.

"Hey, you asked me for a supermarket, so I'm telling you where to find one. It's not my fault if it's overrun" Saya responds as she turns to me with a slight frown...

"Of course it's not, or are you the one responsible for this outbreak?" I ask as I glance at her and raise an eyebrow.

"I'm not even going to answer a question that's that stupid...keep your eyes on the road..." She answers as she groans slightly before turning to look back at the map.

I just laugh through my nose and turn to look back at the street...

And as I kept going forward, I noticed a different building in the distance, one that was visibly bigger than the ones around it. It also seemed to have some open space next to it.

"Hmm...The building also has a blue roof if I remember correctly" Saya adds up as she keeps looking at the map.

"In that case, I think we found it" I respond as I keep looking at the building in the distance.

Saya lifts her head to my response, then leans toward me as she keeps looking through the front windshield. She narrowed her eyes and kept staring at the building as it slowly grew in size the closer we got to it...until...

"Yea, that's the one" She responds with a slight nod before leaning back on her seat.

"Ok. Let's see how bad things are over there." I shut down the engine and let the car roll to a stop. While that was happening, I turned to Saeko.

"Did you find any binoculars while looking at the stuff back there?" I ask, Saeko shakes her head.

"No, the only set we had. I think Kohta had it on him" She responds.

"Hmm, and the Mp5 and Scar H don't have the level of zoom we need, they lack any type of magnification attachment" I put my hand on the back of my neck as I turn to look at the street ahead.

By now, we were close enough to have a clear view of the building and its parking field...

"We can just check it on foot, can't we? I don't see any corpses roaming outside, only a couple that are laying on the ground" Saeko responds as she leans between the two front seats.

"That is why I 'don't' want to check it on foot" I answer as I shake my head. Causing Saeko to turn her head towards me with a questioning look.

"The lack of corpses means it might have survivors inside..." Saya adds up as she folds her arms.

"Exactly. And if it has survivors that are able to keep the nearby location clear of corpses, it might also mean that they are armed. Of course, the ones on the ground might also be leftovers from the unlucky humans that were here when the outbreak first started. Or, They might be 'alive' corpses, waiting for somebody to pass...but I don't want to risk going there on foot. If that place has survivors, who knows if they're friendly or not." I fold my arms as I keep speaking.
