38 Change of Clothes (1/2)

Mark stood there for a while browsing through the internet with his phone but as the mall's Wi-Fi was too slow, he wasted most of that time waiting for the pages to load. Still, he found good information about the outbreak albeit little.

As he got fed up with the slow loading time, and the girls were not done yet, he decided to go to the shoe store that he entered earlier. He rummaged around trying to find some kind of shoes in the storage and he was not disappointed.

After looking around and opening boxes to boxes, he found the stack of boxes that had the kind of shoes he was looking for, a pair combat boots. He found one pair with the right size and immediately switched into it and set his black chuck taylor aside. There were different styles and materials the pairs of boots had in that stack but the one he chose were a pair of synthetic combat boots that had straps instead of leather ones and those that had strings. He chose this pair as it would be easier to wear and clean.

He then found another small pair when he felt someone approaching but he did not raise his guard up expecting who the person was.

When Mark turned around, he saw Mei standing by the door and the two college girls behind her who wore bitter smiles for some reason.

Looking at Mei, he could only feel two things, amazement and lament. Mei was now wearing grey hooded long sleeves with a denim vest with several pockets over it, a black above knee length black denim shorts, black stockings and black below knee-high socks. As for her feet, she was now wearing strap sandals. There was also the gel plaster on her cheek.He felt amazed as her appearance really suit her despite being within what he advised them to choose. He lamented because she would likely face the greatest obstacles the most beautiful women in every story suffers in an apocalypse.

Beautiful girls were beautiful no matter what they wear after all.

The two college girls also changed girls also changed from their dirty blood stained uniforms. Paula was wearing a buttoned denim jacket with a crimson hood and a denim skirt that paired with the hood's color. She wore black tight leggings under her skirt and back cotton socks.

Ange on the other hand wore a grey jacket draped over her black ladies tank top inside and a dark green cargo pants. Both college girls also looked good on their new clothes. The only thing that was out of place was that the two were still wearing their school shoes.

Mark thought that there would mostly be fashion shoes in a female oriented clothing store so he beckoned the three inside. He then gave the female styled combat boots he found to Mei and helped her wear it. Ange and Paula also rummaged at the stacks of shoeboxes and found the shoes they liked. Ange chose a brown leather combat boots while Paula found a grey calf length leather combat boots for her to wear.

When the three girls were all dressed up, Mark could not help but ask himself if these girls were going to a fashion show and was not experiencing a zombie apocalypse.

Mark wanted to return to the TechZone and prepare but Ange kept pestering him on bringing her to the sports store where he got the sports armor. He pointed at the bag she was now carrying as he knew that the contents of that bag were the armor she was wearing earlier. She then said that she wanted to get one for Paula and Mark could only bring them there reluctantly.

Unfortunately for Ange, there are no other armors that were the same as they had. The only ones they found were common motocross armors which did not seem to catch her attention.

What they found though was something that got Paula's interest. It was a compound bow. From Ange, Mark learned that Paula took an archery class during high school.

Mark started to become suspicious about the background of these two girls. One was an experienced fighter while the other had taken archery classes before. Those were things that could not be found on common college students who were attending a state university in this country.
