Finn's grin widened as he spoke, "Buckle up," stepping on the accelerator with determination, his gaze fixed on the approaching zombies as if they were prey he had to hunt down.

Finn pressed harder on the accelerator, causing the Falcon to speed up as it headed toward the zombie horde.

"Finn.. Finn.. FINN.. What are you doing?" Rose's voice trembled with shock and fear as she grabbed onto the seatbelt, her knuckles turning white. "Wait, wait! Finn, we can't go that way!"

As the SUV drew closer to the mass of undead, Rose's fear intensified, her eyes tightly shut as she muttered, "Shit... Shit..."

 The SUV plowed into the zombie horde with tremendous force, Some of the undead were sent flying through the air like rag dolls, while others were crushed and ground under the wheels of the mighty Falcon. 

The Falcon, now splattered with blood, continued its relentless journey towards the safe house, Finn showing no signs of remorse on his face.

Turning to Finn, Rose's voice was filled with incredulity, "What was that?"

"What?" Finn's response was short.

"That... Killing without any remorse at all," Rose's tone was laced with concern.

"They're zombies, Rose. It's kill or be killed," Finn's reply was firm.

"They were humans once," Rose's voice was barely a whisper.

"Were," Finn's response was grim.

After a prolonged silence, Rose finally spoke up, her voice hesitant, "Where are we going?"

"To Wihan," Finn's reply was brisk.

"To the Marxis faction safe house," Finn continued, his gaze fixed ahead.

Finn and Rose made their way through the ruins of Zian and entered Wihan.

Four zombies, still alive but with their limbs severed, were hung from the city sign. The sight made Rose's spine shiver, and she vomited.

"Welcome to Wihan," Finn greeted.

"I thought Marxists were supposed to be socialists," Rose remarked while washing her face.

"We're not Marxists; we're Marxis. Our leader's last name is Marxi," Finn clarified.

Soon they reached the Paradise colony, The main base of Marxis.

*Paradise Colony*

A large wall of electric mesh surrounds the entire colony, divided into four regions. At its center stands a tall tower with 14 floors.

Gates are installed in each region:

- The M Gate serves as the main entrance to the colony.

- The G Gate provides access to the nearby ocean.

- The C Gate connects the colony to another highway leading to Sector 201, home to the White Revolutionists faction.

- The A Gate leads to the other end of Ryian.

Each region serves a specific purpose:

- The Armory, where large trucks store guns and ammunition, is located near the M Gate, making it the largest region.

- The Market, near the G Gate, is where food grains and fish are sold.

- The Entertainment District, near the C Gate, houses pubs and brothels.
