day 3: The encounter

June 26, xxxx, 10: 57 am, Morning.

A group of survivors, set there journey from 5 star hotel and traveling toward the mall for supplies. They are walking slowly in forming a centipede formation Lucas name this.

Lucas as the head followed him by the group of soldier pointing alternate at different direction and between the soldier are men and women carrying a wooden table covered by zombie blood or fat. Everyone of them covered with blanket (zombies skin, blood and fat) behind them is a group of soldier carrying a spray loaded by zombie fats, saliva and other liquid excluding blood for not to attract aggressive zombies. even some survivor carrying some spray and they spread every 5 minutes alternatively.

When they are facing the mall to enter, Nicholas asked him. "Lucas, are you sure about this?"

"Yes! so Sir. Nicholas sent someone from team and don't engage." Lucas replied while looking at his map and he continued. " we need supplies because we have long way to go."

Hearing Lucas reply Nicholas shake his head because he admitted it since the apocalypse started some people consume more to survive and overcome there frustration. He pointed some soldier and said. "Moved! Don't engage scout the surrounding and leave those zombies to Lucas. go!"

Hearing Nicholas word, they salute and moved while Lucas face twitch because of Nicholas command.

*Few minutes later inside the mall, grocery store.*

They arrived the grocery earlier than the planned because Lucas grind those zombies for him to level up to level 14. So, the group of survivors given a time to rest and eat while other carried there task as a supply carrier.

In one corner a group of people gathered to exchange information.

"Lucas, we sent some people to check the surrounding place and there is no abnormalities." Sir. Nicholas replied and he continued "but, we found it weird since they reported there is no zombies, yet they smell and saw a trace of blood."

"Lucas, I think it's better to take a detour and make a alternate road for us to survive." Mariam replied because she felt a premonition something unpleasant will happened.

Lucas stayed silent for few seconds while looking to the map. He said to them "No! we must take the risk. If, we alternate the road will facing more trouble because we don't know what we will facing. Also, we need to leave this place as possible. You know what I mean right, since we encounter those s1 zombies who moved in group or gorilla zombies."

Hearing Lucas word, they become worried because they encounter those zombies. When they entered the mall.

So, Sir. Nicholas concluded and said "So, we need to rest and moved within 5 minutes."

They agreed and only Mariam and Lucas remained. few minutes of silent Lucas asked Mariam.

"*cough* Madam Mariam do you need something?" Lucas asked because he felt it weird.

"Lucas, I want to know asked something. If this mission is complete. can you bring the rest of survivors?" Mariam replied to Lucas. She know there is a higher chance he won't agree.

"Yes! I can bring them, but they must decide themselves. So, Madam Mariam you must not worried about other, but to your own self. Madam you will followed me right? not as a former president of Francia, but a mother this time." Lucas asked Mariam and continued. "If, you follow me you're not a politician anymore, but an ordinary survivor." He said and look to her eyes like probing her inside.

"Lucas, If where not in apocalypse you're question is damn you know that, but the reality speak louder we're facing zombies and government is not working anymore and also, I don't want to involve in politics this time because human right is not effective in apocalypse. So, my own daughter will be exposed in danger." She replied to Lucas and looked to his eyes, but she blush instantly and mumbling "Also, Jairah always say everytime she want Lucas to her father."

Lucas heard something and asked. "Mariam did you say something?"

"No! I need to rest already. So, take a rest as well." Mariam replied and run toward her daughter.

"*sigh~* woman is a troublesome creatures, but even I liked you and I will capture your heart someday." Lucas said and smile while looking at Mariam who is hugging her own daughter while laughing.

Few minutes later when they exited from the mall and they are near from a certain sidewalk, after they entered they found it weird since they entered they did not encounter a zombies only to see some blood in the ground or wall.

As, they walked Lucas stopped them and said to the nearest soldier and said

"go to defense formation and don't make any noise or use any binoculars."

After, Lucas said those word he vanish at once and he appeared one of the building to scout and according to the map there are a group seven red dots and they moved like a team. When he encounter the zombie in one corner his lip twitch because those zombie are already doing some reconnaissance and ambush. He said in low voice. "Who is there leader? How come this zombies are so intelligent and coordinate easily."

So, Lucas used his own appraisal to see there status and he was shocked.

*Ding*

[C1: Type1: Captain, a zombie who is a previous government officials like military, police and etc. They are sensitive in pain and lack at close combat, but they can use weapon. weakness: heart, throat and head]

*ding*

[H1: Type1: Hawkeye, a zombie Hunter specialist in ambush, This type of zombies they have a good eyesight and rest sense is not active. They lack at close combat and low health, but they have higher agility and normal strength. weakness: heart, head and close combat]

*Ding*

[C1: Type2: Commander, a zombie with the higher intelligent and they retain there skills before they became infected. weakness: heart, throat, head and pain]

Seeing, the status of every zombies only three zombie are new and they compose of one C2, two C1, two H1, two S1 zombies.

Lucas, decided to move fast and he use his stealth and ambush the C2 zombie and throw his dagger toward C1. Few minutes later the battle is concluded and Lucas took the heart and get the bloodstone and it's nucleus.

Meanwhile in the group of survivors. They are shaken because they can hear a zombies roar and a gun shot. Few, minutes late when they are in disparate.

*Thud* a zombie head rolled at the ground and Lucas appeared. He said

"Let's move some zombies are already capable using weapons. So, we must leave this place earlier." Lucas said while looking at them.

Then, Lucas smirked at Michael and moved.

Seeing Lucas action, Michael shivered said in low voice. "He know already? Impossible how come! No, he just scare me and my plan is already perfect." He said while encouraging his own.
