"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" tanong ni Forseti.

"Basta! The river's water level started to go up and the bodies are being washed away. The people evacuated here!" paliwanag ni Killy.

"Fate really do plays with us, huh?" Tres remarked.

"And the zombies on the other side?" tanong ko.

"They're just standing." kumunot ang noo ko at sabay-sabay kaming nagtinginan lahat ng mga kaibigan ko.

"This is unexpected, diba dapat ay malilito sila sa tunog ng ulan?" tanong ni Nami.

"What if they've distinguished the sound of rain?" sabi ni Wyatt.

"Shit, tumatalino ang mga zombies?" tanong ni Killy.

"Baka dahil kumain sila ng brains?" for the nth time, we glared at Rhyder. Now is not the time for a joke.

"Hindi naman sila makakatawid, diba?" sumali na sila Zac sa usapan. Nakita kong pinapagalitan nila si Chris na nakatali pa rin.

"That's the problem. Once the rain ends, they can already cross." sabi ni Killy sa amin. Napaisip ako. If what killed the zombies on the river gets washed away and the river overflows, the zombies can cross with ease since the waters will be stable again.

"I hope the rain never ends.." hiling ni Reia.

Biglang tumigil ang ulan.

"You jinxed it!" sigaw ni Rhyder kay Reia. Nagmura si Reia pero nalunod lamang ang boses niya dahil sa sigaw ng mga tao.

"Get them inside the bus! Open the damn bus!" sabi ni Forseti kay Rhyder. Saglit na natulala si Rhyder bago umalis sa harap namin at ginawa ang utos ni Forseti.

"Where's my dog?!" sigaw ni Rhyder. Hala! Iniwan pala namin si Red sa camp!

"He's here!" a girl shouted. It was the lady who got stabbed. She's awake but lying on a man made stretcher carried by other people. Payapang natutulog si Red sa tabi nito na para bang hindi nagkakagulo.

"Thank you! Buti nalang nadala mo!" sabi ni Rhyder sa kaniya.

"Niligtas niyo ako, it's my way of saying thank you." narinig kong sabi nito. She looked at my direction and gave me a smile which I returned back.

It was a total chaos before we got to settle all of them. Three buses were full, while two buses were almost empty.

"The numbers don't match." sabi ni Valerie.

"Hala! Wala pa 'yong mga kumuha ng supplies!" Nami told us.

"Nagshoshopping ba sila?" tanong ni Sage.

"We need to get them." sabi ko kay Forseti.

"Pupuntahan ko sila.." tatakbo na sana si Forseti pero pinigilan ko siya.

"Sasama ako." I firmly said.

"Again, we stay together no matter what." sabi ni Raph.

"Miss Erin also told us to survive! At this rate we're all going to be killed due to our number!" tumaas ang boses ni Forseti. Natahimik ang iba sa sinabi niya.

"I'll still go with you, alam ko ang mga daan dito. The others can wait on the bus." mahinahon kong saad sa kaniya. He can't argue with that because he knows I'm right.
