It took around 2 hours before the flames that I purposely ignited in the convenience store extinguished themselves. After the flames died down, I checked the bodies of the gangsters left inside the blazing room earlier. Since the place has been burned to ashes, I only needed to kick the door of the storage room down.

BANG!

Once the door fell, it revealed all of the dead bodies that are charred beyond recognition. They are all killed while trying to get out of the door seeing that they are all stuck in the doorway. Even if they managed to escape, they still won't make it out alive as I will be shooting them with my rifle once I fixed my sight on them. Thank goodness I was spared doing something like that.

I pull out my pistol and shot the heads of the dead bodies one by one. I am just making sure this will not repeat some of my previous mistakes. Just like what the saying in that one particular movie, if you are not sure the dead is really dead, then make sure to kill it twice by doing the ”double-tap”.

It took me quite some time to reveal their heads since some of them have fallen over to one another and their flesh has been burned together, causing their burnt flesh to attach like plastic but it was still done so I am no worried.

As for the former survivors who were all murdered by the gangsters, I already dug up 7 graves in the opposite direction of the convenience store, and are all ready to be buried. It took me a few minutes to gather their belongings and burying them together. I don't need to do a ”double-tap” on them as their bodies are already impossible to reanimate due to their bullet shots are all done in the head.

I pulled their dead bodies out of the convenience store as they don't deserve to be burned alongside them. At least they can return to the nature without problems. I clasp my hands together and say a silent prayer for a bit to them before I started filling the holes with soil.

Reality is often cruel but there is nothing to be done with it. Even innocent people who are not into violence will be the first people to die out and get killed, especially in this chaotic and a world where dystopia is almost in reach.

After burying the seven corpses of the survivors, I went to inspect the car and truck that were brought along by the gangsters when they came into this place. I have no clue where the gangsters are going and where their base is. It would be wonderful if they have left something for me to work on as this task is hard without any clues on where you will be going.

The truck is just your plain truck without any kind of connection to the gang. Aside from the supplies inside the truck's container, there is nothing interesting here even if I scavenge a little bit longer.

As for the car, some things are left behind though I doubt if they are of any usage. The only thing that seemed to be containing something is the notepad left behind in the backseat. There were some schedules and stuff on the paper and from the looks of it, the owner of this notepad is organized on what he should do since only someone with this behavior will create a timetable like this.

Only the notepad seems to contain any clues for me to use as the rest of the car is nothing much. With nothing else to learn, I abandoned the car and took the truck with me. The keys are still attached to the ignition lock cylinder, allowing me to spare the time rigging the truck's wirings for me to start it. With the sun slowly going down on the horizon, I hurry back to the base before the Night Rage starts rolling in.

However, I think I have to go to the Bang Gunstore this time around. If I wanted some info involving the gangs, maybe they sell those kinds of info too. I have a few points built up from them from fulfilling some requests in the last few months. It is time to spend it on something like that.

It took me a while to reach the gun store as driving a truck is a little bit different than driving a normal car. It took me a bit of practice before I get to properly drive it though I still needed to slow down a few times as it I have to make sure I will be able to navigate the road using this and to also avoid potential accidents.
