the death cure
chapter five❛❛ i think we're being followed ❜❜
————————————————
They stopped at the outskirts of the city before they entered the ruins of a city that stood outside of the walls, there were people still living outside of the walls, like it was a small town with maybe within a thousand of population, or more, as if they're the poorest people in the city and forced to live in the poorest condition. Being left to die.
Jorge left the truck in an abandoned warehouse, they might need it again when they go back. Thomas leads the way into town, finding the place almost crowded and over-populated as they walked in the streets. Dead bodies can be seen, wrapped in bags, being disposed out of the town by a group of masked-men.
"This place has really gone through hell" Jorge moved beside Thomas, the group of eight walked quickly straight ahead, they weren't sure where they were going but, they were aiming to the Last City, toward the giant walls.
"We just gotta stay together" Thomas glanced at Jorge and at the group behind him.
"We are the voice of the voiceless!" there was a man protesting behind them, the group's attention was drawn on the protest, they halted as they shifted their glances behind them, there was a van coming their way, a man protesting was on it, speaking through the microphone as people around them began to cheer. "They hide behind their walls thinking they can keep the cure for themselves while they watch the rest of us wither and rot! But there are more of us than there are of them—"
One of the men with a weapon riding on the van was looking down at the group as the van drove by the group, it was followed by a truck. The masked man's glance stayed on the group.
"What is going on?" Leigh murmured.
"And I say, we rise up and take back what is ours! Let's bring back a victory!"
There was a sound of machinery above them, Poe looked up and see the drones hovering around the town. The group kept going ahead and try to look for the entrance into the Last City, or the way in through the walls. They walked around the town to find the way into the city, they stayed close together as they followed Thomas.
After a long walk and searching, they walked through a small alleyway before Thomas announced, "That's it. That's our way in!"
There was a large protest happening in front of them, about hundreds of people were angrily protesting, demanding the city to be let through the walls. Poe immediately doubted that this was the way in, to find many people being in the same place in front of the entrance of the city. Ahead was the road to the gap of the walls, the gap seems to be a giant door.
