Wolf

I entered an army base bunker to find some weapons in order to protect my friends and myself against the walkers. But surprisingly, there were zombies inside the bunker as well. I was running in despair losing my way. I killed many but more were coming. I got further in the basement and arrive at a dead-end. I'm now surrounded by zombies coming from both sides but I still shoot them with the weapons I found here. I didn't give up eventhough I knew it was over. But the zombies wouldn't give up as well.

Then behind me a sliding door opened where a man shouts ; over here! Come in!! I went in and the door closes. I now felt like being in a safer place.

- Huh.. huh.. who are you? asks Wolf.

- No, who are you and how did you manage to get in here?! asks the 40-year-old looking man showing a worried and angry face at the same time.

- I.. I was looking for.. food and weapons to survive.. with my group and I found this place..

- Hmpf... the man looked like he doesn't want to help me. Okay, you can keep the guns you took but you gotta get outta here.

- Haha.. *smirk* I don't think I can get outta here easily now.. you got many zombies outside of this room.. how do you even live here? And what are you doin' here?

- Not your business, kid. You'll die anyway and everybody will. tells me while giving me a glass of water.

- No.. huh.. I don't believe that.. tell me what you've been doing here all this time? I guess you stayed here even before this zombie apocalypse began 'cuz it's almost impossible to get into this room as you said earlier.

- Yeah, I was here even before that. he says turning his back. This place is a laboratory which was used by the army long ago and they engaged a scientist like me here to heal the soldiers who were injured. I regret joining them 'cuz now I'm stuck in this bunker surrounded by dead people ready to eat me if I try to get out. And since I'm here, I began searching for the cause of the disease.

- So.. what did you get?

- I couldn't find it yet but I'm on it since months, I only found out the process of turning into a zombie. But I didn't find the cause, neither the solution yet. So since you're here, I'll show you on this video projector how it's done. he says while turning on the screen.

- This diagram will show you how to turn into a zombie, first of all, it's a parasite, I called zombie virus, which is transmitted into your body when you get bitten by a zombie. I don't know where it came from yet but actually it has already spread into the air, so if you get nosebleeding, you can become a zombie after a certain amount of time. Or even by an excessive appetite. Also by having frequent hallucinations and the final step is by dying even without getting bitten.

- Heheh.. you.. you're kidding, right?

- I'm telling you the truth. Just like the dinosaurs, we came to our period of extinction.

- If what you said is really true, then we're fcked up.. 'cuz my girlfriend has hallucinations..

- I understand kid,  but it's unavoidable.. I lost my family and friends.. and I just hope to die too but I'm not brave enough to kill myself or to face the zombie crowd outside.

- Please find a cure..

- Hmpf.. I'm sorry.. I'm trying my best.

- Hm.. I think I need to go now. I said.

- Yeah, kid, I suggest you must stay with your friends and family before they die, otherwise you'll regret not being by their side. I'll take you to this underground tunnel which leads to a river but it's risky to the point you can get drowned.

- I'll take the risk.

Kio

As Crow told me through messages, I went to Frank's camp with Serge, Kris and Alan where we found Frank.

- So you guys are Crow's friends? asks Frank aiming his gun at us.

- Yes, we know Crow, we welcomed him in our crew. I said.

- Okay. He sms'ed me about you guys. You can join us. He'll also arrive soon. 

Frank brings us to his camp where they were around 8 people. Serge and the two others  analyzed the area. Then Crow sent a message saying he's come near the bridge. So Frank, Serge, Alan and me went meeting Crow while Kris stayed with the crew.

- Oh my brotherrrr! says Serge while opening his arms towards Crow to hug him.

Frank approaches Crow quickly to greet him but Serge shoots on Crow.
