Chapter 50 - From Cluj to Athene - Part 30

Almost one hour later, the team has made it to the center of Athena, capital of Greece. They are exhausted from all the walking and beating zombies. They are one step closer to the safety, yet it is still so far since the port they wanted to head it is far away from this old and with big value city of Greece.

Alina, Alin, Radu, Ana, Lee, Klaus and Laura are the only reaming survivors from the big group who were on the airport and on the crash. They were walking so far and had so many deaths in their group, that they made them feeling sad and uneasy.

The group is walking past a few buildings who were vandalized by this apocalypse. On the road they see a bunch of zombies corpses and skeletons of animals who were eaten by these horrifying creatures. Ana is looking around, and she sees on the road a pistol, she picked it up and handed to Alina who was coming closer to her. While Alina was looking at the clip of this pistol, Ana asked her while she is looking at the bunch of zombies corpse lying around on the streets, building's roofs and on the interior of buildings…

"Do you think the people from that helicopter did that?"

"Most likely." says Alina to Ana and hands the gun to her. "It is yours."

"Thanks." says Ana putting the gun on her pants back pocket.

"Should we rest here?" asks Lee coming to Alina and Ana. "I-I think it is safe here."

"Yes." says Alina. "We should find a clean building, rest, and we will leave on the next morning." she points at the sky. "The Night is about to come, so we should decide on who will keep the watch?"

"I'll do it." says Klaus who's coming into this conversation with Radu and Alin. "At least let me do it first."

"Alright." says Alina. "Do you have any complaints?" asks the rest of this survivor group.

The rest of these survivors replied that they did not have anything against this idea which means they have accepted that Klaus should keep on the watch to this night it is about to come.

Alina, Ana, Alin, Radu, Lee , Laura and Klaus are entering a building who was once a hotel, and now it is a house who has a lot of zombie corpses lying around on the corridor, blood on the walls and blocked doors who need either a key or they were barricaded from inside.

Ana it is going to the reception desk and proceed to search for a few keys to the rooms, or a plan building to help them understand where are the rooms situated and how the capacity it is. Ana finds a few room keys, and she handed to her teammates.

"Alright, everyone." says Alina to the six remaining survivors. "We are having four room keys, so we must be sleeping two persons on each room, in case something bad is going to happen."

"Such as?" asks Radu.

"Probably a zombie coming out here." says Alin to Radu.

"That." says Alina. "And probably some soldiers like earlier when they took down a member of our team."

At the moment she said this, everyone was silenced. They have lost some important members from their team on their way here. Eliza, Cassandra, Anakin, Claudia, Ilie and Marcus, all of them... were gone forever and with no turning back to became functional humanoids.

"I'll be one who's staying on the guard on this night." says Klaus to the survivors who fought along one side.

"And then I will be the next one after four hours." says Alina to the team. "And remember, at the first minute when the sun it is on the sky, we will get into the first vehicle with gas we've found, and we get out of here to the Port we have spoken a few more times. Understand?"

"Yes!" says almost everyone to Alina.

"Good. Now, Alina and I are going to the room 102."

Ana raises the key to the room 101 and goes close to Alina side.

"Radu and Alin are taking room 103." says Alina to Radu and Alin.

"Sweet." says Radu slapping the hand with Alin.

"And Klaus with Ho Lee are taking room 102." says Alina to Ho Lee, and then she looks at Klaus.

"I guess I've got the last room." says Laura who's holding the key of room 203.

"Yes." says Alina to her.

"Nice." says Laura and she goes straight to that room, but she takes a kitchen knife from her backpack. "Don't forget to clean the rooms if you see an infected." says to the other survivors.

Later, everyone from this team is going to their rooms. And Klaus, is sitting on the reception desk, on the chair, and he looks at the working monitors who display the security cameras outside and on the halls of this hotel. He looks at the monitors who show the halls of the first floor, and there he sees Alina, Ana, Radu, Alin and Lee going to their rooms. He then looks at the second floor cameras and there he sees Laura putting one zombie down with the knife she took from the backpack, and she head to the room she took it. He was thinking to go there and help her, but he realizes Laura would be able to take care of herself since she was able to face dozens of zombies since this apocalypse has started.

Klaus is then looking at other functioning monitors which shows the outside and there he sees only the remains of destruction those creatures let it there. A few damaged cars who were hitting other vehicles, one truck who got through the wall of a Greek restaurant, a few zombie corpses got down and a few bones all around the streets of Athene.
