Chapter 260 - Deadly Events in the Eyes of the Child (2/2)

Day 312: 6:30 A.M

KRINNGGG! KRINGGG! KRINNNG! PA!

I stood up the moment I violently pushed the snooze button on my alarm clock that I looted the other time. Despite being groggy and feeling a little bit troubled, I have tons of things I have to do and one of the priority is to scavenge.

Wearing all of my clothes, readying my backpack, and weapon, I am now ready to go fight and try to survive for another day. Looking at the spiked baseball bat that is also covered with barbed wire, I am not sure if I can do this. After a few seconds of relaxing before going, I steeled myself and slowly tried to open the manhole's trapdoor.

Looking around, I noticed that there are less amount of dead people currently staying around. Seeing that the coast is clear, I quickly went out of the manhole and quickly ready my weapon while slowly walking around the alleyways.

Although it's been a month since I stuck myself underneath the manhole, I can still easily find a good store to loot resources for my future. Entering one of the nearby building, I was in luck because the place is still not looted by anyone and canned foods are still available.

Taking everything I can into my bag, I was suddenly surprised by the sudden appearance of a few undead coming from the back of the place. No wonder it was still not looted, there is a dead person inside.

Without hesitation, I closed my bag and quickly scram the hell out of the place. I am not insane enough to fight against a dead person and although I have killed many of these freaks before, though it is not that much. I only fight if there is no means for me to get out of the situation. Even if I left the remaining canned food behind to escape, it is much better than managing to secure the food but ended up as a deceased individual.

The alleyways are infested by dead people, the road is also infested though not too much since I managed to distance most of them away from me using distracting methods that will allow the dead to be attracted to the places where I will be able to avoid completely.

Getting to the next building, I managed to find a few canned food stored on the cabinets in one random house. The amount is good enough that I can safely say I am already guaranteed to not go starved tonight.

As I finish packing the food to my backpack...

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Ratatatatatatatatatat!

BOOM!

My sensors is already picking up danger. I tried looking for that and saw the burly men with guns in their bodies fight against a few of the people. I shook in fear seeing the conflict of some guys around. I didn't bother to join groups of people for this but seeing the situation, I am now sure that it is time for me to return to my hideout.

But the moment I went out of the building, I saw a dead body lying on the ground and above the dead body are the countless of undead, currently tearing apart his guts. This scene is too grotesque and brutal that fear creeps into my body. A very hot feeling is about to come into my throat and the funny feeling in my stomach almost came together, creating mix feeling.

But despite all of that, I have no choice. I quickly left before the vivid scene permanently becomes part of my core memory which is I don't want to happen. As a kid, I know it that this is a survival of the fittest.
