Survivor

Day 1

The sun rays started to enter the room through the window. Ziyad woke up as the rays came on his face. He got up and started to rub his eyes. He saw Savio sleeping, exhausted. Ziyad didn't want Savio to get disturbed, he went and searched for water as his throat was very dry. "Morning!", Ziyad turned back in curiosity to see who it was, it was Savio, "oh god.......u scared me.", Savio chuckled. "Any hope?" Ziyad asked, " no.....not yet" Savio said.

Savio's face was tired and had dark circles under his eyes already. He also searched for his bottle to have some hydration going in his body. "hello......hello..... this the military camp.....",( in Arabic). It came from the radio. Savio's face lit up and he looked at Ziyad. " This the military camp........ if any one can here me, our helicopters will land on the Kingdom Tower at evening today, i repeat ,today at evening, meet us at the Kingdom Tower"(in Arabic). The message ended and the noise of static started to begin from the radio. Savio and Ziyad listened with lots of focus and little hope started to grow in their heart. Savio asked Ziyad what it said as Savio doesn't understand Arabic. Ziyad explained to Savio what it said and when and where to meet. "What!?.......that's impossible, how can we go to the tower?". Ziyad had an idea, but the idea was risky to do.

"Any plans?" Savio asked. "Well........we have cycles don't we?" Ziyad said. Ziyad's plan was to ride all the way to the tower in the cycle. "Wait......that's nonsense, we can be eaten at any moment!" Savio told. "but that's the only way out.". After lot of discussions, Savio agreed to Ziyad's plan. At this time all the electricity and signals have been shut down which makes mobiles useless. Savio and Ziyad packed their stuff and made a temporary protection by using books and tapes on their arms and legs. Savio wore football boots, grey track pants and a red shirt and Ziyad wore a running shoes, black track pants and a black long sleeve shirt with leather jacket on for extra protection in the journey. The food supplies were not enough for this journey so they decided to go to a convenient store before they start their journey. They reached the gate of the building and opened slowly and checked if they are clear or not. There was cars crashed all over the road. There was not a single zombie on the road some were dead due to blood loss or dehydration. They reached the convenient store. Near the store there was a police car. Ziyad wanted to check the car as he thought there might be weapons that can be use full. " hey Savio, let's check that car out ". Savio agreed and went towards it. Ziyad went near the car and he got an armed hand gun." Oh wow....that's unexpected, be careful with that." Ziyad also got few mags of the gun. Ziyad and Savio went in the convenient store and dumped food supplies till the bag get full. " are we done here.... we will get late if we stay here more long". Savio nodded and quickly went to their home. Ziyad loves cycling and knows all types of cycles. Ziyad loves fat bikes and it's his favourite type. Savio also likes cycles and therefore they are cycle buddies and used to roam everywhere. They went out the store and sat on their cycles. "ready?"
Savio said and Ziyad nodded and they started their journey.

After a long ride, they stopped at the side of the road and rested for sometime. " let's stay here for a minute.", Ziyad said and Savio agreed. Ziyad opens his bag and picked up his water bottle and he lifts up the bottle to his mouth and then suddenly a deadly growl comes behind them.

They quickly get out of their cycles and kept distance from it. Ziyad quickly picked up his gun from his pocket  and aimed right at the head the head of the zombie. It growled louder and louder and then he started to jump on Ziyad. " BOOM!" The zombie died and the sound was so loud that their ear drums started to ring.

Suddenly there were screams coming from all the buildings surrounding them." LET'S GO!" Savio shouted. They quickly hopped onto their cycles and pedalled as hard as they could. The horde started to appear from everywhere, luckily they were fast enough and the zombies couldn't catch them. They started to sweat a lot when the sun was right at the middle of the sky and finally, they reached at the tower.

"We finally made it!" Savio said. They both got out from their cycles, Ziyad picked up his gun and kept it ready and Savio still had his rod. They both nodded and entered the tower. The tower contains 99 floors and they knew it would be a long way . The floors were covered with blood and bodies lying all over. Suddenly two people appeared and pointed their guns to them. Savio and Ziyad raised their hands as if they were caught in bank robbery. One of the men came towards them with a torch and a gun ready to fire when something goes wrong. The man then lowered his gun  and told them to follow the men. Savio and Ziyad reached the top floor where there was a helicopter. They sat in the helicopter along with some military rescuers and the helicopter started to fly but then the zombies appeared with lots of screaming and attacked all the people who were on the building, the shots were fired on them but no use as they were surrounded and were eaten alive . Ziyad was shocked so was Savio. But fortunately the helicopter flew away from the building and they were the only survivors.
