35 Blunder (1/2)

2:01 PM - City Mall Bacoor West Wing, Service Corridors.

Mark led the way as they walked across the corridor. With the exception of Ange, Mei, Reyah and her daughter, Sariya, everyone was following behind Mark.

After leaving Ange who was fiddling with the sports armor Mark gave her. He told the others about the situation in the TechZone and what he did inside the corridor.

At first, they thought that he came back to ask for help in killing the zombies inside but the thought was dismissed when he said.

”I should be able to deal with all those zombies alone.”

Actually, Mark went back to make at least Bernard and Fernan to follow him back not to help him kill the zombies but to attend the survivors after clearing the TechZone.

But then, Calvin made a suggestion. It was to let them help in dealing with the zombies inside the TechZone. By the results of Mark's scouting, he said that the possibility of having Biters inside was very low or at least there would only be a very small number. If it was just Eaters, they it would be a good way for them to get some training.

Hearing what Calvin said, Mark could not help but agree. They would really need to get some practice and experience in dealing with the zombies and it would be a good chance and there would be very little danger. If there are Biters inside, then they could apply some strategies if the number was more that he could handle. Well, he could handle a group of Biters consisting of half-dozen of individuals alone, so, it should be fine.

All the males agreed with what Calvin said and they agreed with great determination. To their surprise, Paula also wanted to come with them and experience fighting herself. Ange seemed to be reluctant to let her go but Paula told her friend that she could not stand it anymore that she could not do anything but let Ange protect her.

With that, the ones who were going and who would stay were decided. Reyah could not leave her sleeping daughter and she could not just wake her up. Mark forced Mei to stay as her body had not fully recovered yet and the bruises she received were starting to swell giving her more pain. Ange who was not in the mood to do more killing was the one who became in charge of protecting those who are staying on the rooftop.

Using the ladders on the west wing, they entered the corridors through the emergency exit. When they entered the corridor, they were surprised. Their surprise was not because of the gruesome scene inside the corridor as beheaded bodies, severed heads and limbs and blood scattered on the floor across the corridor. It was because there was a moving human sized roll of red colored cloth, which looked like a red sushi made with cloth that was bound with extension cables, rolling about on the floor. The thing kept on rolling and the filth on the floor started sticking on the cloth it was wrapped in.

”Uh… Mark? What is that?”

Paula could not help but ask Mark who should be the one responsible for that.

”That? She's the Biter I caught. The one I told you guys about. She doesn't stop rolling around when I tied her up so I rolled her up with floor mats and rags.”

”To clean up the floor?”

”Yep. Quite convenient isn't it? Well, she doesn't clean the floor properly though.”

Mark looked at the floor that had an odd division of slightly cleaned and dirty portions.

'Of course she won't!!!'

They all screamed at Mark in their minds.

Mark led them past the rolling Biter and put his index finger in front of his lips signaling them to keep quiet.

As they traversed the corridor, Joseph's face already turned pale. The blood and gore scattered across the floor was starting to churn his stomach. He could not even smell anything else but the smell of blood.

Calvin and Bernard seemed to be doing fine but their eyebrows already curved into a frown.
