SOMETHING (en) √

Ten

Not even a day had passed, and the citizens inside the safe camp went crazy again. They're all afraid of the infected person again. They said that things went crazy again. The military already put up the canvas around the cage again but it seems like it is going crazy and causing the canvas to fall again. One of the people said the green mossy thing will cause problems for them. They now believe that the green mossy thing will give them the same infection since it looks so dusty. Like the wind will bring it everywhere!

The chaos caused tons of trouble. Many want to leave. Others force the military to kill it. Nowa and the rest just stay silent. Deep inside, they also want to leave after hearing about the green mossy thing.

"What are we gonna do now?", Maya asked.

"Do you want to leave?", Nowa asked everyone.

"Can we? But, where?", Bella asked back.

"And that's the problem. There's no internet connection to know anything now. Everything has been cut," Nowa replied.

"Let's just wait for a bit longer, can we?", Daniel gives his suggestions.

^^^^^

"Everyone, it's dinner!", Amber said.

"Okay, we'll be out."

Not long after that, they left the tent to take their dinner. The foods ke on decreasing. Seems like food shortage is about to happen. They didn't know for how long they could stand here. Without food, pretty sure everyone will go crazy again. This safe camp will be ruined at any time. Something needs to be done.

"A boiled potato and some veggies again. I wonder how long we can keep this up," Daniel said.

"Nobody knows and that's the problem. What are they even doing? Aren't they supposed to look for food? The mall can be raided after all. It's not like anyone cares about it at a time like this," Mike replied.

The others just stay silent, not knowing what will happen next. It's not even a week since they already have a food shortage.

"I'm done with this food!", suddenly someone throws their plate away.

"Me neither! What are they even doing inside there?! Dangling their balls around?!", others support them.

Everyone voiced their frustration. Nowa asked her friends to stay silent. Don't include yourself in the chaos. It only brings problems. The military comes out from the main tent.

"If you want to stay alive, eat whatever we give!", Colonel Liam said.

"Bring us better food! What are you even doing?!"

"You're a bunch of useless shit! No better than those killing creatures!"

Bang!

A bullet has been free. Everyone gasped. They didn't expect this to happen. Not from the military who were supposed to protect them.

"Eat, or die," Colonel Liam said.

^^^^^

They stay with each other all the time when suddenly people are screaming again. They're too tired to acknowledge everything and let it be. It might be from the infected person inside the cage again. Nothing else. Ever since Colonel Liam killed a survivor, nobody dared to open their mouth.

"Why are they always freaked out when they know that it can't escape?", Amber asked.

"They want attention," Bella said, randomly laying her head on Daniel's shoulder.
