Into The New World

Day 1 - [Part Two]

~•~

It was 4pm in the afternoon, Haoxuan and Yibo are crouched down in the back of a car patiently waiting for the person who looked like a corpse, with veins potruding out of it's neck to its face, eyes hazy as if it's blind, tongue rolled out it's mouth reaching it's abdomen, clothes torn apart with blood scattered here and there and along with it's barefooted feet to move out far away from the convenience store they are aiming to find food. With characteristics like these, you can barely call it a human for it is more mortifying and horrible than a human. Yibo looked at it for a second and retracted his gaze to look over at Haoxuan who is rumbling nonstop and complaining here and there for they have been waiting there for almost 20 minutes without moving from their position.

"Argh, how long do we have to wait for that thing to move, my legs are giving out and I'm also starving. Look what time it is now. Just f*cking move you sh*thead", Haoxuan cursed at the zombie hanging around the convenience store. Yibo hearing this wasn't even fazed for he is already used to it, for Haoxuan cursed whenever he is hungry and annoyed, though Haoxuan didn't curse when the two of them were once an actor and everything was normal, but it got worst when the apocalypse began. Yibo looked over again at the zombie, and as if it heard what Haoxuan said, it moved away from the store and slowly walked far away as if it has a destination in mind. Upon seeing this, the two quickly moved out of their hiding place and swiftly moved their way into the store. Once they are inside the store, they immediately rummaged through the place and put everything they deemed important to their backpacks.

"Finally I can eat everything I want to eat.  That sh*thead made us wait for eternity", Haoxuan complained. He put every sweets he can find into his backpack and grabbed one that he liked, removed it's wrapper and put it into his mouth. While Haoxuan was happily putting sweets in his bag, Yibo is busy searching medicines and a map that can help them to leave the city safely and find a safe place. The two worked together to get food immediately for they didn't know if someone would suddenly pop out, out of nowhere and steal everything that they have already found for themselves.

"Hey Yibo are you done over there? Yibo?" Haoxuan said to Yibo who is at the other side of the aisle. While waiting for Yibo's response, Haoxuan is busy putting all of the food he ransacked to his backpack. Hearing no response for over a minute, Haoxuan then realized that something was off. Haoxuan then looked over where Yibo must have been, when suddenly a hand shot out from behind him and covered his mouth, dragging him to an inconspicuous area. Scared that it was someone who has ill intentions, Haoxuan struggled to fight back whoever it was that's holding him.

"Shush! Be quiet", whispered by the man holding Haoxuan to his ear. Hearing his voice, Haoxuan now realized it was Yibo and he turned to face Yibo. Yibo loosened his hold to Haoxuan when he turned towards him. "Why did you suddenly grabbed me and even dragged me to this area. You almost shocked me to death, you know that?!", whispered yelled by Haoxuan to Yibo which the latter just ignored the other's complain. He just looked over the area where he had been earlier, and he can see that the zombie that was hanging around the store earlier made it's way back to the store they were in. It seems that the store was it's territory and the way it moved seems like it hadn't noticed them entering the store. Yibo noticing this quickly alerted his companion.

"Stop talking. Look over there", Yibo said to Haoxuan who continued to nagged at him not knowing the situation they were in. Haoxuan who saw the look on Yibo's face now realized how grave the situation they were in. He then also looked over the area where Yibo mentioned and he was struck dumb in his place when he saw the scene. It was the zombie he cursed at when they were hiding at the back of the car. Remembering that scene, he can't help but cursed at it again in his heart for coming back to the store. The zombie walked to the back of the aisle where the comfort room was located far from where Yibo and Haoxuan was at. Seeing this, Haoxuan let out a sigh of relief and moved back his gaze towards Wang Yibo.
