26 Wai (1/2)

”Is everyone ready? Let's go.”

A man cautiously surveyed the surroundings as he started walking, behind him was a group comprised of ten people. An old man in a suit, two middle-aged woman in casuals, four youthful woman in uniformed clothing, two male teenagers, one wearing a t-shirt while the other one was hooded, and the last one, a woman on a simple round-neck shirt and faded jeans.

It was, of course, Jun's group.

After taking everything that they could loot from the store, they decided to talk about some important matters. They were worried about their families and requested that Jun must help them. They even sworn that if he helped them they would willingly follow him.

The meeting ended with a bright tone. Everyone was happy because when they were talking where they live, they realized that they just live near each other. With their families as the topic, they ate breakfast cheerfully.

Jun told them that their destination is the city hall but he didn't provide any reason.

Most of them were obviously happy about where they headed since they would pass by their homes.

Bernard suggested on finding a vehicle that they could use, but Jun was totally against it.

Of course, Jun had his reasons.

The most obvious would be that they would make too much noise, which could attract hundreds of infected. Besides, the roads are too narrow and could only allow one vehicle per lane, making it hard to maneuver.

Alex looked left and right as if she was looking for something. As they walked, her gaze wandered from a car's window to a building's window.

Every window that showed slight movements caught her attention.

She was staring hard at a car's tinted window, when a hand caught her shoulder.

She gasped and was about to scream when someone spoke behind her.

”Are you alright? Is there anything troubling you?”, Sheila asked concerned.

Alex sighed. ”Please don't do that again.”, she then hugged the baseball bat closer to her body.

”Sorry, did I scare you?”, said Sheila as they continued walking.

”I'm fine. I'm just not used to this yet. ”

”That's okay, most of us aren't.”, Sheila patted Alex's back.

”What do you think?”, Jun asked Adrian.

”It's impossible. We won't be able to go through that. There's too many vehicles, so our visibility will be limited.”

The group had to stop because of the traffic ahead. They stayed in a circular formation grasping their weapons while keeping watch on different directions.

The highway was jam packed with vehicles that you can't even see it's end. They could even see some infected standing idly in between cars.

They're currently travelling along the national high way, which should be the shortest route to reach the city hall.

The road ahead has residential houses on each side, which means more infected and more blind spots. Although they could go through the sidewalk and proceed carefully, they could still be noticed as it was impossible for a group of their size to pass sneakily. The worst case scenario, they would all get surrounded and killed.
