Capsule Outbreak

08 Cursed Train

Duke's POV

We start to walk out of the first railway where the first train is. I see several zombie heads stuck in the tires there. We kill approaching zombies using our weapons and immediately run to the safest route.

We are in the fourth train now. I can't see any zombies approaching us, but when I look through the window, I see many zombies inside the train.

After a few minutes, we decide to move to the fifth train to look for the laptop.

"This is it, we're in the fifth train now!" Allie said.

"Yeah, let's go inside. Try not to make any noise; zombies will wake up!" the beggar man warned.

We get inside the fifth train. Luckily, there are only four zombies inside. Louis shot them all in the head, but the noise attracts zombies nearby.

We see the lawyer who has turned into a zombie, still holding his laptop splattered with blood. Allie shot the lawyer and immediately grabs the laptop.

Zombies, distracted by the gunshots, start approaching us.

"I just hope this laptop is still functioning!" Allie said.

Allie starts to open the laptop but it has a password.

"No way, we need the password," Allie said.

"Just guess something. Maybe his password is 'password' or something!" Trevor said jokingly.

Louis searches the dead zombie lawyer's body.

"I'll try what you said, Trevor. People nowadays are lazy about creating strong passwords!" Allie said. She tries entering 'password,' but it's still locked.

Zombies are growling nearby.

"Guys, they're coming. We need to hurry!" the beggar man said.

"Look what I found, the lawyer's ID. Maybe his password is his name or birthday, or the numbers written here," Louis suggested.

Allie tries entering his name, birthday, and the numbers, but it's still locked.

"No way, this lawyer is something else!" Allie said.

"Guys, zombies are here!" Trevor warned.

Louis looks again at the lawyer's pants and finds a piece of paper.

"There's a name written here, 'Camille.' Maybe it's his wife's name. Hurry, try it!" Louis said.

Allie tries it, and the password unlocks.

"Yes, it's Camille! Whoever you are, you're a savior!" Allie said happily.

Allie opens the laptop and sees the wallpaper, a picture of the lawyer and his wife. Allie taps the email icon and writes:

Dear Maggie and Charlie,

Hey! Don't worry about us. We're doing good here. The plan works, but there's a problem. We're leaving on the last train going to Alabama, and we can't come back. Trevor said you could use his motorcycle in the backyard. The keys are hidden under the floor mat. Charlie, be a good boy. We'll wait for you two at the first station in Alabama.

From Allie and her friends.

Allie sends the email.

"Let's go, zombies are coming inside the train!" the beggar said.

Zombies enter the train. We shoot some of them, but more are approaching. We escape the fifth train through the tenth broken window.

I feel a rush of adrenaline as we run from the zombies. We reach the sixth train, also known as the cursed train, and hide nearby.
