6 First Night in This Sh*t Storm (1/2)

Everyone was speechless at Christian's question.

”I mean, I did spend a lot of money on insurance, didn't you guys too? Like, we are basically pro gamers, so obviously we needed our hands insured. And then on top of that, I also just got this new life insurance that pays out dividend after I hit 60, so like, you know, some good retirement money...”

”Dude, I hate to break it to you, but... yeah... no,” Elon slowly said.

After comforting the depressed Christian, they sent him and Alex on their way to guard the glass garage door in the living room while Jay and Elon quietly started carrying things upstairs.

The first item on the list was the food. Knowing that food would become one of the most scarce resources, they carried whatever they could upstairs.

It was unfortunate that they couldn't carry the fridge upstairs. But then again, there was no power anyways, so they might as well leave it downstairs and tightly close the fridge so the food in there could stay cold for a bit longer.

After bringing up all the bread, instant noodle, snacks, and drinks, they started transporting all the valuables, knowing that these items might come in handy in the future to maybe trade for supplies they would need.

Lastly, they brought up the wooden dining chairs because... well it would probably come in handy later on, and they felt they should bring up more things but didn't know what else to bring.

After these two got tired, they swapped place with Christian and Alex so they could take care of the basement. Their house was located on kind of a slope, thus the basement is walk-out style and connected to the lawn outside. The doors to the outside of the basement were also made of glass, and it was quite scary when it was pitch black outside as well as inside.

When Alex turned on the flashlight which immediately reflected their image off the glass door, Christian almost screamed if Alex didn't react fast enough and cover his mouth with his hand.

”Hey guys, I don't think there's anything to bring from the basement.” Christian came back, a bit covered in cold sweat.

”Oh come on, there's gotta be something you can bring...” Elon replied.

The group moved upstairs, and it was 8 PM. After being so tensed up for almost four hours since the zombie outbreak, the group was quite exhausted.

”I'm a bit thirsty...” Alex whispered.

”Oh crap, water! Let's fill up whatever container we have with tap water! I don't know when the underground reservoirs and tanks will get contaminated!” Elon exclaimed right away, and the group immediately got to work.

In Miami and most parts of Florida, approximately 90% of tap water comes from groundwater sources, which is then pumped into one of three regional water treatment plants. The water gets softened, disinfected and filtered first before being stored in underground reservoirs and tanks.
