Inside an abandoned warehouse, four
figures can be seen sitting around a campfire. It is night time, so they used
the campfire as a source of light and also to warm themselves up from the coldness.

The figures reveal to be Reinhard, Ethan, Shawn, and Emma. All of them
have different facial expressions on their face, showing that they taking the things that happened today differently than the other.

First of all, Emma. The 14 years old teenage girl is showing a worried expression on her face. Showing that she is still shaken by what today. But there also some expression on her face that is showing that she is slowly accepting that zombies apocalypse just happened today.She is showing 'It is what it is' kind of face right now.

Secondly, Shawn. The 15 years old teenage boy is showing almost the same facial expressions like Emma, he is worried. But look like the teenage boy is taking the fact faster and better than the teenage girl because he is showing some courage on his face. It's like he saying 'What ever happened, I will prefer that I fight it head on instead of running away' using face.

Moving on, Ethan. The 24 years old sheriff deputy is currently laying on top of the abandoned container that usually been seen attached to a truck.
The expression on his face is showing
the fact that he is tired. Considering that he fought his way through a hordes of zombies to go to Reinhard's
house and need to fight another hordes right after that, it's completely
understandable for him to be tired.

Lastly, Reinhard can be seen sitting between Shawn and Emma. He is staring at the campfire as he lost inside his thoughts. He is analysing all the things that happened today and also what he heard in the radio. Trying to figure out how it happened.

"Zombies apocalypse.....Never thought
that it is possible for it to happen in
real world....Well no point on denying
it. It happened in front of our eyes so it is real. But how does it happened?"
Reinhard thought inside his mind.

After a few minutes of thinking, he decided to break the silence.

"Hey, Ethan. I knew you are tired but
I want to discuss something." He said to Ethan.

Hearing that, Ethan opened his eyes and look at his best friend.

"What is it, Rein." He ask him.

"Do you have any information about this apocalypse things? I kinda need as much information that I can get right now." Reinhard asked him.

He look at him for a few seconds before he turn his eyes back to the ceiling and answering his questions.

"Not much really. Compared to you,
I don't really have a break times at the evening when the crazy shit suddenly
happened. Most of my time at this evening is occupied by killing some zombies and trying not to die. The only time I am able to open the radio is when we are escaping from your house so I don't really have that much information about it."He replied.

"I see...." Reinhard sighed.

"But."

Reinhard turn his face back to Ethan again as he started continuing his speech back.

"At that limited time when I am able to open the radio, I hear it talked about massive amounts of death, virus, and apocalypse. But the most interesting that caught my attention
was about the military sending out soldiers to every big cities."

That caught Reinhard attention. Turn
his face from his best friend as he stared at the campfire as he taking the informations that Ethan just give him.

"That's weird." Shawn suddenly let himself into the conversation.

"If that's the case why are they not here yet? They literally have all of the
helicopters and military jets. I can understand that they don't use jets because they maybe don't want to accidentally kill the innocent civilians
along side the zombies....but they at least can use the helicopter to get here faster to contain the zombies and the
virus." Shawn said as he let out a small sigh.
