Chereads / Undeads are walking / Chapter 49 - From Cluj to Athene - Part 29

Chapter 49 - From Cluj to Athene - Part 29

After a while, the last survivors of the group who fled from Romania are encountering a problem, another big problem. A part of plane it is blocking their road to the safety. The only thing that would help them get after this obstacle it is to find the door of this plane, trying to open and leave it. Alina was the one with the idea, so everyone has started to search for the door of this fallen plane who is still burning.

"I've found it!" says Ho Lee to his team. He tries to open the door, but it won't budge. "Damn it!" he says while he was trying the door with a crowbar he got from Radu. "It won't budge!"

"Fuck..." says Klaus seeing a few zombies who are trying to break the plane windows. "We have to find another way!"

"What?" asks Alina to Klaus. "Why?"

"Look!" he says Klaus aiming at the plane windows, and everyone is looking at the windows, and Ho Lee was stopping at trying to open the door.

As soon as Lee saw the zombies who were trying to open the windows, he left the door, and it leaves the plane, in case zombies will manage to push the door of that plane somehow. The team is looking at the windows where a bunch of zombies are hitting the windows with hands, fists and with their heads, but these windows wouldn't break that easily by these simple hits.

"What now?" asks Radu to Alina, but she didn't respond.

"I have a plan." says Ana after she looked at a few trucks who were close to the plane. "We can try climbing over the plane. And from there we will be trying on foot."

"Good plan." says Laura about to go first.

"Wait!" says Radu who's holding up Alin. "T-There must be another way."

"Radu." says Alin to his brother. "Let me." he takes out his knife who was stored into a small backpack he is carrying. "I will follow you all.". He proceeded to raise up on his feet, and he did it without any problems, which made everyone shocked by this. "I will follow all of you! Go first, now!"

The rest of survivors proceeds to climb over the plane by using the vehicles as some kind of ladder. While these survivors were doing these things, Alin was using his knife to kill the zombies and his boxing skill. He managed to put about eight of these creatures down without any problem, even though he got his leg damaged, he was still having the fire inside him which kept him to go on. Soon, Alin proceed to run to those trucks and climb it. He was about to fall the first time, but Radu, who was always on the back of Alin, waiting for him to come next, helped him climbing and putting a few zombies down by pushing it or stabbing them with knives.

After Alin and Radu got to the top of the plane, the rest of these reaming survivors are there, and they are looking at the sky. They see a big black smoke across the city which is Athena. These people are smiling that they are getting closer to their safety, but when they took a look down to see how are things there, the reality has done a harsh hit. Probably thousands of zombies are gathering there, and at the look of it, they might be able to use the vehicles as some kind of bridge to get past this giant wave of zombies.

***

They are running on the vehicles like a child jumping on rocks on a river to reach the other side. Laura is in the front of the group since she is probably one of the most athletic survivors from the group, plus she told a few survivors from that military truck that she used to go to the gym and be a high-schooler member of a gymnastic team. Alina is after Laura, and the other survivors are behind her, trying their hardest to ignore the zombie's groans, screams and hitting their hands who were trying to grab their legs.

Laura is jumping about two meters from a car to a van. She manages the jumps, and she is looking at her teammates who are after her. She sees one zombie trying to reach her, but it quickly got killed by Klaus who shoot that thing with an arrow. Klaus is behind everyone else, so the shoot was from almost twenty meters far.

Klaus is running with his crossbow to the vehicle where the rest of the group performed their jump and as soon he got there, he jumped to the van where is the rest of group there. However, as he was about to reach the van, he was close to falling into the zombie's arms, but he manages to get in the van. He was extremely close to get bitten and have the same fate as his friends.

"Hah...Hah... That was close." says Klaus exhausted.

"Ah!" says Laura seeing a zombie who was close to touch her legs, but she manages to free her leg and stomp the hand of that zombie, who was not even reacting when his arm got stomped and cut by Ana who used knife.

"This creates do not feel any pain." says Ho Lee to the group, and he sees a truck trailer not far away from them. "There would be a good place to rest a bit."

"No rest." says Alina. "We should keep moving."

Alina is the first one to jump from the van to another car, who's a Toyota. And from there, she jumps to a damaged car, who has a zombie driver on the driver seat, and wearing a seat belt. The other people are following Alina's lead.

A few moments later, all the survivors from the group who fled from Cluj have made it to that trailer Lee was mentioning earlier, and there, all of them are looking at the indicator who says where they had to move to arrive at Athena. And they also discover that the zombies are starting to became less in this area, which Laura suggests this option.

"It would be better to walk on the highway."

"Are you sure?" asks Klaus seeming a bit skeptical. "There aren't many cars here, but walking may seem a little as exhausting."

"And what you propose?" asks Alina to Klaus. "Give chances to try and take a car? The chances that we might be getting a working car from here are zero."

"I know." says Klaus to Alina. "But it is better to risk searching than risking walking to Athena. God knows what we might be encountering there. So it would be better to take a working car from this. Plus we got an injured man with us." he points at Radu who was carrying Alin while he was jumping over cars.

"D-D-Don't worr-worry about me." says Radu who's sweating bullets. "I-I can take this."

"Radu..." says Alin. "W-We should be stopping this. And try to take a car."

But before they would be able to say anything else, they suddenly hear a helicopter on the sky. All the survivors are looking on the sky, mesmerized by this thing who they haven't encountered in such a long time. The entire survivors remaining team tried to shake their hands on the air in order to attract the pilot attention, and it worked, the helicopter proceed to descend a few meters, and the speaker from the helicopter it is turned on, and the pilot told the survivors in English language.

"We are not able to get all of you from here! Head to the nearest Port and enter a ship who will leave after two days! I repeat! Head to the nearest Port and enter a ship who will leave after two days!"

Then, the helicopter gets his door opened, and the survivors thought that they might be rescued for a moment, but the soldier who opened that door, is taking out a rocket launcher, and this made the team almost shit their pants. The entire survivor group jumped from the trailer truck and run from the highway to the Athene, while the soldier are going to bomb this highway infested with zombies and roadblocks.

As soon as they almost made one hundred meters, an explosion it is happening on the highway, the team turned back, only to see a big black cloud coming out from the highway. The survivors could stay there long because they have to run as fast as they can to the location they have to head. While they are running to the road who's going to help them arrive in the city, the survivors encountered a few creatures coming after them, but most of them got defeated by survivor's weapons.
