Suspicious gym

The sunrise illuminated the earth.

On the deserted road, with no human nor zombie were found. Only the sound of rustling wind was existing. Suddenly, manhole was blasted flying into the air. From that hole, a bag was appeared and was lying on the road. Immediately, a head emerged from the hole. Undoubtedly, that was a person who was running like a dog by new mutant zombie.

"Safe." I said.

Having confirmed no zombie, I climbed the stair.

"Phew, who know there is such an disgusting zombie down there. " I squeezed my wet clothes.

"I thought I cut the chase but unexpectedly, that thing swam with me for another 10 hours" Remembering that I was swimming with that monster, I was shivering from that experience. That thing swims with a speed of fish. Easily overwhelming me, even I thought I will die from this. A lucky god smiled that time. While I was swimming, a miracle happened. A big hole appeared separating me from that thing.

I was crying a lot. My tear is a happy tear. I promised that I will complete armor and save more people to compensate this. I don't know I will receive karma after this. You know I was very lucky when I discovered secret lab in maze and found what I long desire and also escaped from that thing in one row. Then I know that my future was no longer a bright future because I felt like I spent all lucky for this day.

"Put this aside. When I complete the armor, even ten of that thing can't fight me anymore." I smiled triumphantly.

"HA HA HA. Just image this. I will be unstoppable in this world." I laughed out loud. I laughed like a mad man for a first time in my life.

"Uhm. I should stop here. I'm tired now. I need to find a place to rest and then depart in tomorrow."

I looked around to find the map. Having run away for over 20 hours, my sense of direction was turned upside down.

I found a sign leading me to the nearest gym.

"10m ahead. Fine. That will be my place to rest." I nodded my head.

After walking for a short time, I arrived the destination.

"That was a long road for me. At least it's worth. I never sleep in the gym before." I reached my hand to door handle.

"What is this? It's locked" I brought my eyes near to the door.

"From inside" I can see the chain binding inside.

"That's bad. This place have survivors. I must go to the other place." I quickly turned and ran to the opposite.

In the end, I chose the small office building to sleep. After entering, I found 5 zombies. Feeling deadly tired, I drew the gun and shot them.

"5 down" I reloaded the gun.

After checking every corner, I blocked the door with table and chair.

And then I chose to sleep under table. While I started to sleep, I have a strange question.

"It's strange. Why I felt happy when sleeping in other house that's not mine."

After thinking about this for too long, I decided to give up.

"Who care. Just sleep for now." with that, the sight before me started to turn dark.

….

In the darkness, a clock rang out waking me up.

"What time is it?" I stretched my arm after long sleep.

"It's already dark. Guess I will stay here until morning." I looked outside.

I took the core out to inspect. Having confirmed no damage, I stuffed it back into the bag.

"While waiting. Why not observe our neighbor for a little bit."

I picked the monocular up and observed the gym from afar.

Indeed, they are only active in night. I can see the flickering light of candle inside.

"Let's see what we have here." I adjusted the monocular to look further.

"We have a group of muscular man training their muscle. Look at their face. Seem like they want to surpass limit of human." I could see their blood vessel bulging on their head. Some of their face were red from intense exercise. They lifted the weights with sweat running down like a river.

"This is surprised." I thought they would run away from apocalypse like other adult that I met. in this environment with zombie around, they still continued their exercise as if apocalypse never happened from the beginning.

"Interesting interesting" I rubbed my jaw.

I changed my target to observe. I noticed there is suspicious door blocked behind them. I have no idea what is that. Like why that door was barricade heavily with weights, table, and other tool.

"I'm curious now"

To confirm my question, I guessed I personally go there.

….

"Help me. I'm so scared. Can you help me from those disgusting thing out there?" I shouted out loudly before the gymnasium.

Immediately, they looked me through the window. Look like they was discussing with other people. I guessed I have to wait for a minute.

"Can you help this pity student who don't know where to go?"

I said to those who stood behind the door. I can't hear what they are saying but I can see that they nodded their head in agreement.

'I assumed this is yes' I thought.

"Welcome to the gym, stranger." a muscle man talked me.

"Nice to meet you, too"

"Come here, we will provide food and drink for you." he offered me a hand.

"Yes, can you introduce shortly where is this" I asked.

"This is the world best gym ever where everyone trains to surpass limit of human."

"Sound … nice"

"You must be hungry. Why don't we eat first and talk latter."

"It's a good idea" I replied.

After that, they led me to the table where displayed many meat.

"Here enjoy breakfast."

"Thank. Why don't you guys join with me"

"No no no. We eat before so you just eat. Don't care about us." he humbly refused.

"Yes, I will eat now"

I picked the meat up and inspected.

'This thing is fresh. What is this meat?' I raised my vigilant.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah it's just your hospitable moved me"

"If that so"

Their kind was so incredible that I can't believe such a person like this exist in life.

Unless they have something bad.

'It's time for my magical trick'

I brought small meat into the mouth and chewed it before people's eye. For unknown reason, they smiled even happier than before.

"I'm so dizzy" I pretended that I was dizzy.

"You can sleep at table if you want"

"Yeah, I think I will sleep for a second"

'So in food have anesthetic. I doubt their friendliness from the beginning.' I pretended sleep why my hand places near my shoes. If they do something funny, I will draw a gun and fire at them.

"Bring her to the store."

"Right away, sir"
