Chapter 88 - Jumping around the buildings

'What the hell!?... How can someone cut metal like that' thought Chloe as she looked at Matt?

Opening the door, Matt signals Ethan to follow them and the three of them enter the shop. The lights of the shop were off and they kept it that way so as to not bring any attention to themselves.

"What shop is this?" asked Ethan as he couldn't even see where the stairs were, there was total darkness in the shop, as even the windows have its curtain dropped.

Matt took out 3 flashlights from his inventory that he has already bought before the apocalypse. Passing two of the flashlights to the other two he switched on the flashlight in his hand and looked around the shop.

The shop was a shoe shop and had many top brand shoes on the shelves such as Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Reebok, Vans, Converse, Puma, and so on. Since he was here Matt decided to keep a few shoes of different sizes for himself and the others. It wasn't like it took much pace as everything went in a single slot in his inventory.

After taking this many shoes, for both men and women, the 3 of them found the stairs for the upper floors. Entering the first floor they didn't stop them and continued to walk up straight towards the third floor. When they reached the third floor they found out that it had clothes instead of shoes that they saw on the first and ground floor. Not thinking much Matt stored the men and women clothes in his inventory as well, after which he walked straight towards the window for their exit.

Opening the window he saw that the distance between the rooftop of the next building from them wasn't much the height was almost the same if the railing around the rooftop is counted and the distance between them wasn't more than a meter or two at most something which even Chloe could jump.

Since it was already decided that this was there exit Matt jumped from the window and landed on the rooftop of the building next to them in a single motion without making even a single noise. Chloe and Ethan saw Matt's signal and knew that it was there turn to jump but they weren't sure that they could jump like Matt without making a single noise.

Chloe jumped first but she wasn't as smooth as Matt and fumbled a little almost dropping on her face on the rooftop but since Matt was there he caught her with his arms around her body.

Chloe blushed when she felt Matt's arms wrapped around her body, especially his right hand that was on her breast. Matt, of course, knew where he was grabbing but he would be an idiot if he didn't take advantage of her in such a situation.

"Thanks, Matt, I can my own now," said Chloe when Matt neither let go or helped her get up. He kept her in the same position as she fell on the rooftop.

"Shhh.... you can't stand up if the zombies saw you then they would be running towards this building and we would be stuck here," Matt said as he slowly let Chloe lay on the roof while still groping her. Only when Ethan had jumped on the rooftop as well did he let go of Chloe as they moved towards the door of the rooftop.

Chloe's face was flushed but she couldn't say anything to Matt as they were currently in a mission. Matt o the other hand had a smile on his face, he had decided that this is how he was gonna punish Chloe so that she never thinks of going out like this.

Opening the locked door of the rooftop with the same knife of his Matt brought the other two on the 2nd floor with him which was a shop for Kids toys. Thinking about the kids in the hotel Matt decided to keep some for them. After taking some of the toys Matt looked at the map once more he already knows that the building on the right had a zombie as there was a red light showing on its map but since that was the only way for them to go, Matt, took out his desert eagle from his inventory and kept it in his left hand while the Kukri on the right and signaled Chloe and Ethan to stay silent and follow him.

Then with the same procedure as the previous one Matt and the other two jumped on the rooftop of the next building from the window of the second floor of the toy shop.

"The two of you stay here and stay low, I will go down and check the first and ground floors first only then will you enter" Matt stated to the two.

"Why? Is something wrong?" asked Chloe.

"Don't know? But its a feeling and the last time I felt something like this apocalypse happened so it's better to be safe than sorry" Matt said hearing which Ethan and Chloe gulped and nodded their heads.

Matt entered the first floor after cutting the lock open of the rooftop door, with his enhanced senses he could already smell the foul, yucky, toxic smell of the zombie allowing him to know that the zombie was on this floor only. This floor was filled with kitchen appliances so all Matt had to do was droop a Pan and the zombie came running towards him, though it would be risky if the zombies near the intersection of the lane with the hotels front road heard it but with the considerable distance between them and the noise made by themselves Matt believed they won't hear it.

"Aargh...." it growled with his claws coming towards Matt's face.

Since the zombie was already coming towards him Matt stopped himself from wasting the bullet of his desert eagle. He sidestepped dodging the claws of the zombie and swings his American black eagle Kukri downwards removing the head of the said zombie in a single motion.

The body of the zombie took 3 to 4 more steps after which it fell on the ground as it's dirty blood continued o spill on the ground. Not wanting to call the zombies with its blood Matt stored the head and the body of the zombie in his inventory.

"Well looks like Teddy won't be hungry for a long time"
