The once beautiful and elegant mall was now in mess and everyone was running around like headless chickens, bumping into each other running for Their lives.
BANGGG!!!
BOOOOOMMM!!
"Ahhhh!!"
"HELP ME!!!"
The scream of people and sounds of explosions rung out from inside and outside the mall, scaring the group of six who are now hiding under their desk.
"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!!" Marisa shouted from under the table completely shaken with fear.
"It looked like an earthquake, wait... do you guys think…?" Troy asked with horror. Making the other face to turned completely ugly.
BANGGG!!!!
They all heard the continuous sound of cars colliding outside. The six looked at each other and slowly stood up, and walked towards the glass windows, and what came to view was not the beautiful city they knew but a view of suffering and chaos.
People were running back and forth, while some... busy breaking stores windows stealing different things. Countless cars clashing against each other causing loud explosions and killing countless amount of people. Fire and scream of people were everywhere.
Their faces turned from shock to horror then disbelief, as they watched all the cars losing control and crashing together, one even flew and capsize into a bank, causing a large explosion killing unknown numbers of people.
An era where all the cars and transport worked on auto intelligence, and now this auto intelligence had suddenly shut down, causing all cars to lost control.
Katrina slowly looked up hearing a distance sound like the wind blowing, what she saw next froze her with fear. Janet turned to her friend who was trembling with fear and followed her gaze, the next moment she also froze with fear. Raising her hand, she taps Tyson beside her and said trembling.
"L-L-Look, look up!"
Tyson looked up, the next moment he shouted out loud.
"EVERYONE DOWN!!!!!"
That was when everyone saw it, A till moving airplane was falling from the sky with full speed crushing into the buildings 15 block from them.
BOOOOOMMMM!!!!
The explosion formed a mushroom cloud, killing more than 300 people in the process. Seeing the explosion, the already scared people got even more agitated only acting on instinct and that is.
"Survival"
"We need to get out of here and quickly!! This building is not safe!!" Tyson yelled out making his voice louder from the chaotic place. He didn't wait for the others but grabbed Janet's hand and ran downstairs.
The fucking elevator is already down. Their only choice is to follow the stairs, and it wasn't easy, because countless people were rushing down with the same stairs.
After pushing and pulling, they got to the entrance. And Tyson stopped.
"What's it Tyson?" Janet asked.
Tyson looked at his friends and said. "If what that guy said is true we need to arm ourselves, and we also need supplies."
No one doubted, or refused his words as they joined the people around packing supplies into the bags they took from the mall. They now believe Leo's words by 70%, everyone was packing, anything their hands could reach either clothes, first aid box or food.
Some weird people even stole a flat screen TV with air conditioners, making the six friends completely perplexed.
"Don't worry about them, are you guys done?!" Tyson said, picking up a new axe from the section.
"Yes!!"
Garrett said picking up a big machete.
"Let go!!"
Katrina and Marisa said rushing toward their friends.
The righteous Janet still place money on the counter, which was vacant, everyone was on the run. The others looked at her with a small frown thinking if she was a fool or something.
"What?" Janet asked.
"Forget it, whose house is the closest"
"My house" Janet said.
"Good, we'll stay there for now, let me call my dad and ask how he's doing" Tyson said and everyone nodded, bringing out their phones, the next moment they all let out frustrated roars.
"Really…'?!!"
"Come on...!!"
"Is everything he said going to come true…?!!!"
"Forget it, let get out of here!" Tyson said, throwing away his dead phone out of frustration. Which scattered instantly in contact with the wall.
The six came out of The mall, staring at the chaotic scenes in Front of them. Countless people lying in their cars dead with blood flowing everywhere. Nobody stop to help or assist, everyone was on their own running for Their lives.
"Come on! Let go!!"
Tyson said running in a particular direction followed by the others. After ten minutes of running they got to the Janet's apartment.
"Are you kidding me!!" Marisa roared out loud not believing her eyes.
"What's it Marisa?" Katrina asked confused by her friend outburst.
Marisa didn't answer her, but turned to Janet. "What floor is your apartment?"
"On the 6th floor, It's still better than the 20th, right?" Janet answered and asked calmly.
"Better than the 20th floor! If my father villa is close by I won't stay in a high place!!" Marisa said sternly.
"Ok enough! Let go in, it's not safe outside!!" troy said loudly, walking inside followed by the others.
"Where are you going Marisa?" Garrett inquired.
"I am taking the elevator" Marisa said walking toward the elevator.
"Are you nut or what, don't you know all the electronic device around the world is shut down!!" Garrett almost yelled at her.
"Ahhhh!!!" Marisa screamed in frustration and head to the stairs with a huff.
The others shook their heads and followed her calmly.
After running for a whole 20 minutes they were already drained, so they were all exhausted to argue with her.
BANG!!!!
As soon as they got to the 6th floor they heard a gunshot coming from Janet's apartment.
"UNCLE…!!!"
Janet screamed and ran toward the apartment pushing the door open. There he was, lying in a pool of blood with a bullet hole in his head.
Janet burst into tears seeing her last relative.
"Noo!!! Why uncle!!?" Janet screamed hugging him tightly, with tears streaming down her face.
The other five just kept silent, no word could help Janet at the moment, she had lost her parent and now her uncle is gone, leaving her alone in this destroyed world.
"There's a note in his hand." Katrina said pointing at the piece of paper ginlang was holding. Janet wiped her tears and took the latter reading it out loud.
// Janet if you are reading these means I'm dead, everything Leo told us about doomsday is real, I planned to take you to celestial base, but you always turn me down. As your uncle I can't leave you in these big city alone. You parent gave you to me when you were only 5, I owned a lot to them. That why I can't leave you. But fate have a different path for you, so please your only chance of surviving in this world is celestial base, go find Leo, he'll protect you.
Much love uncle ginlang. \\
Reading her uncle's last words Janet burst into tears again. Moment next Marisa yelled out loud.
"Look!! His eyes are red, I-l think that's why he shot himself!!"
