System

i observe the movement of the zombie at the back and wait for the moment where it look at the back

not even a wink can stop my focus, seconds by seconds and the zombie is slowly moving

and it turns back!

without wasting a moment i suddenly move forward to the hoard

but

*rrrooaarr!!!*

there was zombie in front of me!!!

i didnt notice it due to i was too focus on the back zombie

"i cant stop my momentum now!!!"- John Carl

the zombie is attacking now is using a grabbing motion its planning to take me down

"no!"- John Carl

reflex i smash sideways the zombie

*grrroooaarrr!!!*

the zombie flies sideways but the hoard hears the commotion and now their moving closer to me in fast motion

"batman i trust you!!!!!"- John Carl

i run towards the zombie, in the moment of collision

i block the zombies neck using my long stick, i manage to block the 4zombie

but there is one missing!!

this zombie is smaller than the rest and was below the reach of the long stick

"fuck!"- John Carl

the smaller zombie planning now to bite me in the stomach area

i jump backward and because im below in the upward slope plus the force of zombies, they stumble and accidentally slam the small zombie

without moment of rest i dodge them and rush upward

but when i reach at Elna Eatery, i found out there is more zombies there because the hospital is near the brgy hall!!

"im fuck up"- John Carl

and i lost the grip of the long stick

*tug*

with a one sound all of the zombie that is manifesting the area, look at me suddenly

"ohh mmmyyyyy... come onnnn"- John Carl

i want to cry desperately but

the zombies are rushing to me like a tsunami of dead people

i quickly run to the left and luckily found the gate of dulalia homes

*rrrooaann*

*rrooaaarrr*

*rroaar*

*rroaarrr*

"god god god god save me!!!"- John Carl

without pause i jump and grab the top of the gate and carry myself upwards

i jump down but the zombies arrive at the gate and they're pushing it hard!

"waaa!!!"- John Carl

i ran as fast as i could at the left side of the street until i found the wall that is separating the 1st street and dulalia homes

i sprint right and go inside the near open space area and climb the wall ASAP

after climbing down in the wall

i sit down due to exhaustion

"ha... ha... ha... now where is the way..."- John Carl

its very dangerous continuing the route of 1st street due to the road is too narrow and ill be finish if ive surrounded by a hoard of zombies

"no choice i need to go at the entrance of 1st street... ha..."- John Carl

i feel that something is changed in my body, in a minute my exhaustion is gone and im not that too tired too

"ill think about it next time, the goal is back to my home"- John Carl

crouching silently near the wall, the zombies at the dulalia homes are starting to become less noisy

luckily i dont found any zombie along the entrance

but i when i try to sneak peak at the direction of brgy hall there was still too many hoard of zombie

maybe there are hundreds of them there

the road are full of stranded car, jeepney and truck

there were some motorcycle but it was too hard to do some maneuver due to clogged road, plus the zombies wont give me a chance to run if they heard the sound of the engine

now that i dont have any weapon, it will be too hard for to go home

"i will not surrender..."- John Carl

using the cars that is blocking the road as barricade so that i can hide easily

*rroarrr*

*grroarr*

but i feel that god is forsaking me

there is some zombies that is inside some of the cars

while walking those zombies are keep growling at me like they are irritated with me

"heyy dont growl at me im just passing by okay"- John Carl

it was pretty scary not just because they're face is rotting but there is possibility that some zombies will attack me on my blind spot

currently im at the urutia st. thankfully i've successfully avoided some hoards of zombies

but with some fighting (pushing only)

"along the way i can see some familiar face that became zombies"- John Carl

in the side of a jeepney im carefully moving forward but as soon as i walk

*rroooarr!!!*

there is a zombie that is walking like a dog!

it bites me immediately but to no avail

*bag!!!*

i dodge it but I've slam at the jeepney which cause a loud noise

"FUCK!"- John Carl

*rroaarr!!!*

*rroaaaaaarrr!!*

*rur!*

*dagdagdag*

from the noise i know that the zombies are coming from here!!

i kick the head of the crawling zombie and sprint forward

there was zombies in front that jumping at me but gladly i've push them away

---

from many meters away

"uuuuu!!! there is crazy person attracting too many zombie that is approaching here!" 1?

"will we use our remaining smoke grenade?"- 2?

"yes the more man power the higher chance of us surviving in this calamity"- 3?

"but we only have 3 smoke grenade that officer gaves us"- 1?

"just throw 1"- 4?

-----

"Waaaa!!!! there is too many zombies rushing for my body!!!"- John Carl

the zombies are fast and any seconds they are near with me

im just at the BSOP, my home is not that near!!

zombies from the nearby areas are also attacking me!

to my surprise i dont feel any exhaustion but my head is hurting the longer i run

to what i know, my lungs should be the one that is hurting from tiredness but why my brain is the one thats hurting!

ive pass by FEBIAS COLLEGE but the zombie are near i can hear their voice clearly

is this the end...

my head is hurting too much now...

slowly and my consciousness will fade away...

"THROW!!!"

"RUN FASTER!!!"

before i close my eyes i heard someone's yelling

and some smoke cover my view

and before i know it vie been unconscious already

---------------------

"is that really John Carl?"

"i don't know but we also shock when we rescue him"

"he really looks like John Carl"

"yes that gayshit really look like him"

"should we punch him to wake him up?"

i can hear peoples talking and also their voice is very familiar

i open my eyes slowly and i can see a face that really looks familiar

that nose... eyes... lips... eyebrow... also that shape of face it looks like

"DESSA!!?"- John Carl

"WAA!!!!"- Dessa

i sit suddenly when i saw her face

"is that really you Dessa!!?"- John Carl

i hold his face firmly and pinching its chubby cheeks

*pak!*

and a sudden slap arrives at my face

"OUCH!!!"- John Carl

"why are you touching my face! and who are you!? you looks like someone we know!"- Dessa

"its me!"- John Carl

"Who you!?"- Kristine

"wow!! Kaye! you are also here! its me John Carl!!"- John Carl

"stay away to my Kaye! who really are you! John Carl is already dead a months ago!"- Christian

"hellboy its me"- John Carl

"tell us first something that John Carl and I only knows"- Christian

"come on! you remember when WE , junior you and I , climb to the window to peek Dessa while dressing!"- John Carl

suddenly Christian hand hold my mouth

"stop its not true!! stop telling malicious lies about me!"- Christian

but its late

Kaye (Kristine Denisse) is looking at Christian furiously like a zombie but scarrier than that

while me, Dessa is staring violently

"oh god, i pulled the short stick"

-*-*-*short stick means he got the worst side-*-*-*-

1minute is passed and both Christian and I had a large lump at our head

someone enter the room
