84 Half Dead People - 02 (1/2)

”It looks like there's a fight taking place in lower land.” In-between a twenty-five monitor room, a person wearing khakis is talking on the phone, watching the half dead people causing chaos.

”Half deads again?” The person on the other side of the phone asks. His voice is filled with arrogance and pride of a noble.

”Yes sir!” the person monitoring Medellin through the drones replies.

”Which city?”

”Medellin!”

”Copy! Do not interfere, we can let them do some grocery shopping first. Poor ones don't even get enough food.” The other person declares like he is doing people a favor.

”Roger that! Will reach back to you later if I have anything to update.”

”Good! Keep up your hard work.”

The conversation of the two went oblique among each other without any concern for the people, who are becoming victims to the enormities of the ones with ferocious weapons.

Faust suddenly realises that his feet are moving, he can see a hand pulling him.

It's the same lady who travelled with Faust in the same bus. She grabs him by his wrist and starts running towards the crowd on the other side.

”What are you doing? Keep running, don't just stand there!” Faust hears her saying even when she's struggling to run.

Faust snaps back from his break down situation. He runs along with the lady that saved him and both of them reaches to the other side of the road safely.

Faust rests his hands on both of his knees and gasps for air as he turns towards the lady to thank her.

”Ahhhhhhhh!” Before he could thank her, he sees her frightened face as she screams in panic.

Tears roll off her face as her hands are shivering looking at the other side of the road. Faust turns to the direction that she is looking.

”*So they're not eyeing at me from the start? Are they planning to run to him from the start??”* Faust watches the husband of this lady, surrounded by 10 of the inflated people.

They are carrying butcher knives and machetes. One of them already bite the shoulder of the husband and tore the flesh with his mouth. All of their faces is filled with happiness as if a prey fell into their trap, they are ready to devour him alive.

*”What the hell happened with me? Fuck! I normally won't go helping others, but I don't want this lady to regret helping me.”* Faust instantly leaps forward in one jump across the road

Among the half dead that are going towards the husband, there is an old one. He is different from the rest with very thin body and crooked teeth. He is carrying a katana sheathed inside a green scabbard.

Faust catches up to the old one who is running on his left. Faust folds his right hand, from under his left shoulder he grabs the handle of the katana.
