Volume 2 Chapter 10 (1/2)

Chapter 10 “Survivor”

The daily necessities section on the second floor seemed to be untouched. There was only a zombie wandering about.

The problem must be on the third floor.

I saw something fall down the staircase of the emergency exit.

I pressed my ear against the door and listened, but all that was heard was silence.

I stepped back.

“Hey! Is somebody there?” I exclaimed.

“….”

I waited several minutes for an answer, but to no avail.

I called out some more while knocking on the door, but there appeared to be no sign of anyone there.

The emergency exit door was locked.

“Did the people inside starve to death?”

I didn’t want to waste my time searching for a key, so I decided to take the elevator I found a while ago. The door opened immediately; I guess the power supply is still on.

Getting on the elevator to go up to the third floor, I notice that the “3F” b.u.t.ton was closed off with a seal. I tried to push it, but nothing happened.

“So, that’s why…”

The third floor didn’t sell anything, which is why it was restricted from customers.

At the other end of the second floor was a door that led to a back room.

The placed looked to be an entirely different department that I had no interest in whatsoever. It was just furniture.

As I went deeper down the aisle, I found two other elevators. Entering, I noticed this one had a B1F b.u.t.ton. This time when I pressed the 3F, the elevator rose.

The door opens as I reach the third floor. In front of the doorway was a barricade of steel desks and chairs.

It wasn’t anything that I couldn’t climb over. Piece of cake, you know?

After I got through, I surveyed the area. This place couldn’t be any more than three meters wide as well as no signs of life.

On the wall was an A4 sized piece of paper held up by tape. It seemed to be a floor plan made by one of the employees. It may be an office, locker room, or warehouse.

I scanned through the plan and I could confirm it’s the last floor. It was locked, so there’s probably no one in it.

I continued roaming around and found a monitor room. One of the cameras was focused on some part of the store, with nothing but a zombie prowling around.

“Does the bas.e.m.e.nt have a delivery room? I mean there is a machinery room for the trucks here..”

There seemed to be a freezer and a warehouse from the monitor, and I confirmed it with a map nearby.
