32 Corridor Cleaning (1/2)

Mark confirmed finally confirmed the fact that Biters were still living infected.

”No wonder why they are too ”lively”.”

The scene of him, mercilessly killing those Biters entered his mind. But he felt nothing. Even though they are still alive, he felt nothing. There may be some good people among them, he still felt nothing.

The issue now was not them being alive or being a good person before. The most important thing was those people, were now Biters. It was just a matter of survival, nothing more than that.

Looking at the two squirming zombies in front of him, numerous questions entered his mind. Those questions were fueled with both curiosity and thirst for knowledge. He wanted an answer for those questions, thus…

Mark decided to keep these zombies for further studies.

Afterwards, he left the two zombies and continued scouting the area. Mark looked at the bloody footprints on the floor and decided to follow where the footprints came from. He was very sure that these footprints would lead him towards the TechZone.

After killing the Eaters that are on the way, the footprints led him to an open door. Learning from his mistake inside the shoe store earlier, he did not prop his head on the door anymore and went for a new method.

Mark took out his smartphone from his belt and unplugged the earphone from the jack.He pushed the power button, opened the camera app and switched the camera to its front lens.He then saw a cool sci-fi looking helmet on the screen.

Mark could really relate to Mr. Unique when he said something about looking handsome when your face was covered.

While sitting beside the door, he propped his phone in a position that the front lens could view the situation inside.

What he saw worse than he anticipated. The floor was painted with blood and guts. Broken glass, gadgets that were supposed to be on display and unrecognizable debris are scattered everywhere.

From his position, he could see nine zombies. The likelihood that these zombies are all Eaters was high. He could only see nine but he was sure that there were more at the parts that he can see. The TechZone was a wide area dedicated to house quite a large number of gadget and electronics oriented shops and stalls. What could he see from this door was not even a fifth of the whole TechZone.

'If there are only Eaters inside, it will be easy even if there are several dozens of them.'

Several plans were created in his mind. What he found the most suitable was ”kiting” the Eaters one by one and eliminating them.

Mark moved his phone closer to the door for a wider view but found out that he could not see anything else but a wall of a store beside the door.

Still, he noticed a shop on the opposite side of the TechZone. The shop was closed by steel shutters. Mark immediately understood that there are people inside that shop. It was likely that the people inside that were the people who followed his instructions.

How can he be sure? There are two reasons.

There are no padlocks attached to the bottom of the shutter indicating that it was not a closed store. All of the stores he saw that was closed even after the mall opened had padlocks on the metal shutters securing the store.

The other reason was that, he just knew and nothing else. Some may say that it was just blind confidence but he was sure that he was right.

Those people inside the store could be saved but now was not the time yet. He must secure the perimeters of the service corridors first. Mark did not want for some unforeseen circumstances to happen while dealing with the zombies inside.
