9 A Problem that Arose because of Something that Closed Down (1/2)
As their group ran away, Mark sprayed the contents of the fire extinguisher on the floor every now and then. Even though the foam spread on the floor isn't as thick and more spread compared to the first patch he made, it should be enough to hinder the zombies' pursuit even a little bit. Still, he did not intend on using up all the contents of the fire extinguisher. When he heard the sound of metal clashing and that loud bang on the floor, he is sure that he would need the contents of the fire extinguisher somewhere else.
”Hey open this up! Please let us in!”
Before they can get to the TechZone, they heard the voice of a man with his angry and helpless shouting as he hit the metal shutter blocking the entrance of the TechZone together with three more people behind him. These people were the ones running if front of the two schoolgirls before, the ones Mark ignored earlier. But that is not the pressing matter at this moment but the metal shutter in front of them right now.
That's right! The TechZone is already closed abandoning the Mark and the employee that followed him along with other people that are still outside!
Other people like the students, the mother and the child and even most customers might not realize but Mark who conscious of it and most of the employees working at this mall knew what it is if they heard that loud sound of metal clashing before banging on the floor. It is the steel shutter at the entrance of the TechZone being closed down! This is also the reason the employee that mark brought with him had his face drained of color!
Seeing the closed entrance from afar, the two schoolgirls and the mother being princess carried felt dispirited. They thought that they would be saved if they managed to follow that large group of people but they were shut out before they could even start doing so.
As the people outside the entrance where shouting and hitting the shutter with hands, voices coming from inside answered arguing with the people outside.
Although they can hear the voices, what the voices were saying where incomprehensible to Mark and the people with him as they were still far away.
Then, as they got closer...
BANG!
A gunshot coming from inside the TechZone echoed making the people outside the entrance jump back in fright while the people with Mark froze on their steps. Several frightened screams are heard from the inside by the screams are masked by an angry shout of a man with irritating voice similar to squealing of a pig.
”Get the f*ck away! We already said that we are not letting anyone in! Who knows if you bastards are one of those man-eating monsters! Go away or the next shot will, bore f*cking holes on your bodies!”
The men who were in front of the entrance could only step back in fright.
”You f*ucking bunch of animals!”
Knowing that it would be impossible for the people inside to let them in, they left cursing as they scatter like flies towards different directions where they don't see any zombies.
As the situation isn't good, Mark frowned as he carefully make his way towards the closed entrance together with people with him despite hurrying as much as possible.
But when he is about a few steps away, he heard several thumping sounds just to his right. When he looked, he saw two people knocking on the glass of a store beside him. This part of the store is connected to store at the just beside the entrance unfortunately, it is still not possible to enter the TechZone through this part unless they break the reinforced glass which ruins the point of going into the area in the first place.
Inside the store, two familiar employees are knocked on the glass in attempt to get his attention which luckily succeeded. These two employees were the woman who Mark talked to earlier and the other is the shorter member of the cart pushing trio.
