"This is it. Doesn't look that cozy on the outside. But we got beds and couches and enough food to survive. I'm one of the people that go out and hunt. You'll be happy with the amount of food we have. Come on, I'll show you inside." The school was protected by a school yard fence, which looked quite firm. There were a couple people by the fence, killing the zombies from the other side. Pretty smart. Calvin and I walk up to the school doors and enter the school. I glance around. The school looked so nice inside. It had freshly painted white walls, probably to take the blood of the walls, they had fuzzy dark blue carpets, it looked normal.

He said pointing in a direction.
