I felt really guilty for disobeying Roger, he's always been a good brother to me but someone needs our help, if they're afraid to encounter a horde of zombies well I will be the one to save that girl.

We're walking in the woods, without knowing the right route. As usual, you can't hear anything except the chirp of the birds and the sound coming from the crickets. I looked at my watch and it says 11:45 am.

The sun was already high but I can't feel the warmness because of the tall and luxuriant trees. I can't take away from my mind that moment when I disobeyed Roger. I am really stupid! But I don't have option to choose.

We're already on our way to downtown so there's no such reasons for turning back, I need to focus my mind on our plan which is to save that girl who's in trouble. I glanced at Michael, he looks so sad, he must felt guilty too.

"Hey! Are you alright?"

Michael: Yeah! Why?

"I'm so sorry Michael, you should have stayed, now your brother got mad at you and it's because of me."

Michael: Ofcourse not! It's not your fault Jaze! I did it voluntarily remember?

"How about you Tyra? Are you alright?"

Tyra: Yeah! Just like what Michael said, I accompanied you voluntarily so it's not your fault whether I die.

"Don't talk like that Tyra! No one is gonna die, we'll make it understand?"

Tyra: Ok! I'm sorry!

We're still walking in the middle of nowhere, no roads, no signs, no houses and no life, all you can see are trees and grasses, I don't know how long it will take us to get there. Then after a few minutes of walking, Tyra broke the silence.

Tyra: Hey! There's the road! Look!

Michael: Finally! Now let's move up!

We ran until we get into the road. But the place that was once a happy and a busy one, was now completely a ghost town. We stared at the surrounding for a moment, just to examine if there's a danger. But the coast was clear so we began jogging.

It's immensely scary knowing that anytime, there are hunters that will chase you. It was a busy street before, but now it's like a graveyard. Empty vehicles are on the street, decomposing bodies are everywhere.

The air wasn't fresh anymore, because of the smell of the rotten flesh that already mixed with it. We need to hurry, the girl might be really scared right now and it's really dangerous for her to stay too long out here.
