Luka could not believe his eyes. He had been following a lead about a mysterious virus outbreak in the outskirts of Ljubljana, hoping to get a scoop for his newspaper. But what he saw was beyond his wildest imagination. People were turning into zombies, attacking and biting each other, spreading the infection like wildfire. He had barely escaped with his life, hiding in his car and driving away as fast as he could. He had to warn Maja, his girlfriend, and anyone else who would listen.
He called Maja, who worked as a nurse at a hospital. She answered with a panicked voice.
"Luka, where are you? Are you okay? There's something terrible happening here. People are dying and coming back to life. They're attacking the staff and the patients. It's a nightmare!"
"Maja, listen to me. You have to get out of there. It's not safe. There's a zombie outbreak in the city. I saw it with my own eyes. You have to find a way to escape and meet me somewhere. I'll come and get you."
"Luka, I can't just leave. There are still people who need my help. I can't abandon them. Maybe there's a cure. Maybe we can stop this."
"Maja, there's no time for that. You have to save yourself. Trust me, there's no cure. These are not people anymore. They're monsters. You have to run. Now!"
Luka heard a scream on the other end of the line. He shouted Maja's name, but there was no response. He feared the worst. He hoped she was still alive. He hoped he could find her.
He drove to the hospital, hoping to see her. But what he saw was a scene of horror. The hospital was surrounded by zombies, who were trying to break in. He saw blood and bodies everywhere. He saw people fighting for their lives. He saw Maja.
She was on the roof of the hospital, holding a gun. She was shooting at the zombies, trying to keep them at bay. She looked terrified, but determined. She saw Luka and waved at him. She shouted something, but he could not hear her over the noise.
He parked his car near the hospital and got out. He ran towards the building, dodging the zombies. He had a knife in his hand, ready to defend himself. He reached the entrance of the hospital and tried to open the door. It was locked. He looked for another way in. He saw a fire escape ladder on the side of the building. He climbed it, hoping to reach the roof.
He made it to the top and saw Maja. She was still shooting at the zombies, but she was running out of bullets. She saw him and smiled. She ran towards him and hugged him. He hugged her back and kissed her. He was relieved to see her alive.
"Luka, I'm so glad you're here. I thought I was going to die."
"Maja, I'm so glad you're okay. I love you."
"I love you too. But we have to get out of here. There's too many of them. We can't fight them all."
"I know. I have a car. We can drive away. We can find a safe place."
"Where? Where can we go?"
"I don't know. Somewhere far from the city. Somewhere where there are no zombies."
They ran to the edge of the roof and looked for a way down. They saw Luka's car, parked near the hospital. They also saw a horde of zombies, blocking their way. They had to find another way.
They saw a helicopter, parked on the other side of the roof. It looked like it belonged to the military. Maybe they had come to help. Maybe they had a plan.
They ran to the helicopter and got in. They hoped it had fuel and keys. They hoped they could fly it.
Luka found the keys in the ignition and turned them. The engine started. He looked at the dashboard and tried to figure out how to fly the helicopter. He had never flown one before, but he had played some video games. He hoped it was similar.
He pushed some buttons and pulled some levers. The helicopter lifted off the ground. He felt a surge of adrenaline and excitement. He had done it. He was flying a helicopter.
He looked at Maja and smiled. She smiled back and held his hand. She was proud of him. He was amazing.
They flew away from the hospital and the city. They looked for a safe place to land. They saw a forest and a lake. They saw a cave. It looked like a good place to hide. They decided to go there.
They landed near the cave and got out of the helicopter. They took some supplies and weapons from the helicopter. They hoped they would not need them. They hoped they would be safe.
They entered the cave and explored it. It was dark and cold, but also spacious and quiet. They found a spot to make a campfire and a bed. They settled down and relaxed. They felt tired and hungry, but also happy and hopeful. They had each other. They had survived.
They ate some food and drank some water. They talked and laughed. They cuddled and kissed. They made love. They fell asleep.
They did not know that they were not alone. They did not know that there were other survivors in the cave. They did not know that they had different plans and motives. They did not know that they would soon face a new danger.
They did not know that Ivan, Ana, and Zoran were watching them.
