111 Run (2/2)
”Yeah”
The soldiers smiled to each other as they all laughed in the end.
Their leader just smiled at them and didn't say anything and just looked at the direction of the Town where they escaped from with no one what thoughts are going inside his mind.
Almost two hours later, they finally reached another location as they passed by a road sign that says…
”Welcome to Aberdeen, Come As You Are”
”Haa~ I just hope the proving ground is still intact” one of them sighed with a helpless look.
If there are other people with them, they would have immediately noticed that these soldiers aren't British but part of the US army with the scar face man having a Captain Rank with the lowest being a corporal and every single one of them have the Delta Force Insignia on their combat uniform.
The truck then stopped at the side of the road as the road in front of them leading to the city are already jam packed with abandoned cars that got left behind by a group of panicked people when the plague ensued.
The group then got off slowly from the truck and spent a few minutes to maintain their guns before they cautiously made their way through the garden of abandoned vehicles.
It may be that luck is shining brightly upon them, they actually didn't meet even a single zombie in sight even when they are already at the edge of the city but it seems their lucky star finally exhausted its energy when they finally encountered a small swarm of ordinary zombies on the road.
The group then hastily made their way towards a nearby grocery store and immediately shut the door behind them and they cautiously watched the swarm of slow moving, annoying and persistent zombies slowly passing by the store they were at.
”Sir~” suddenly, one of the soldiers. A burly man, who was the tallest among them whispered towards the scar faced man.
The said man immediately glared at him which made the latter flinch.
”What?”
”I found a staircase leading atop the building. The good thing is we are currently located in the residential area, so we can use it to move from roof to roof of the buildings here” the man showed a bitter smile and whispered.
”Good, let's go” the man said and gestured at his men to lead the way.
The latter then nodded as he led them through the back room of the store as they headed inside a room that has a plaque on its door that reads utility room and once inside, the room was full of tools just as the room's name suggest, it was dark inside so they used their torch lights and they finally saw a small staircase that leads upwards at the back right corner of the room.
”Let's go”
”Wait captain”
”What is it Rick?”
The huge dude who discovered this room, Rick, just smiled and pointed towards a corner with his lights and what the others saw was a pack of a dozen bottled water and some biscuits sitting on a small table just behind the door of the room, waiting for their rightful ”owners”.
Upon seeing these lifesaving items, all of their eyes lit up.
”Alright, take two bottles and one biscuit each” their leader nonchalantly said without even a hint of emotion on his face like what they just found wasn't that significant.
They immediately packed all of it and ascended the staircase that leads on top of the building.
