Chapter 40: A little Scare(Part 1) (2/2)
The door of the Department Store is a transparent glass. But because of the bloods, they could no longer see through the other side.
Using the stick, Ombit pushes the door slowly. After opening the door fully and seeing that no commotions is happening, one of the four shotgun holding men handed Ombit a battery-powered flashlight from his pocket.
Ombit turned the flashlight on. The light of the flashlight is already weak. It can only illuminate 5 meters ahead of him.
As the Bayonet Ombit and Goryo have previously is already broken, they can only rely on their somewhat stronger body to battle.
Ombit slowly walked inside while holding the flashlight in his right hand while being supported by his left hand. If he has a pistol right now, Ombit's posture would surely look like a Police Man that is searching for something in the dark.
Goryo and Polonyo followed Ombit's back. They are also holding a flashlight in their hand. They are positioned on Ombit's right and left, respectively. The four shotgun men are following behind the two.
When they are close enough to the stairs, Ombit observed that if they don't have any flashlight, they could see nothing in here.
Ombit knew the general layout of the Department Store as he often came here to shop.
Along with his six 'bodyguards', he slowly descended the stairs. He saw the dead body of the two guards. Their head is split open. Ombit thought that this must be the doing of the human who entered here.
He approached the body of the guard closest to him and picked up the shotgun that is strapped on the shoulder. He gave the shotgun to Polonyo along with the five ammo.
The dark surroundings coupled with the bodies lying around made them feel something crawl on their skin. Especially the four shotgun men.
Only Ombit, Goryo and Polonyo have a flashlight, so the four of them could only follow the three.
Seeing the surrounding bodies, they could not help but swallow a mouthful of their saliva.
But when they came close to the stall's that still have some foods left, all of them felt ecstatic. The cringe that they felt earlier is gone in an instant.
They hurriedly scourge the stall and search for foods that are not yet spoiled or rotten. Goyo pulled a trolley and put the usable foods inside.
The four shotgun men could only follow along as they cannot see anything if ever they leave even one of the trio holding the flashlight.
After a while, four trolleys are filled to the brim. Fortunately, the underground floor no longer have any moving zombies left. If there is, their harvest would surely not be so easy and bountiful.
They returned to their previous arrangement, Ombit on the front, Goryo and Polonyo followed closely on Ombit's back and the four shotgun men pushed one trolley each behind them.
Suddenly, Ombit heard a faint noise of a shattering glass. Ombit immediately stopped and became alert.
As they are following each other's back closely, his sudden action caused the two people behind him to bump on his back. The four shotgun men at the back bump on Goryo and Polonyo's back.
Ombit, Goryo and Polonyo staggered.
Another sound of a glass shattering echoed.This time, all of them heard it.
The four shotgun men leave the trolley behind and inched closer to the three.
The trio also retreated a bit before getting alert.
”Wh..who is that?” Goryo and Polonyo hugges each other as they heard the flustered voice of Ombit.
