Chapter 54 - From Cluj to Athene - Part 34

"For whoever it is still alive and not infected. Head to the closest Military dropouts on the map, wait there, and head into one of the vehicles who will be transporting the survivors to a safe place. For whoever who doesn't want to attempt this, I suggest seeking hideout from the big cities before they will be bombed."

And this last sentence of the message has made both Alin and Radu shocked. On the TV it shows the safe zones where the military is awaiting them. It also shows the location of the ports close to the place where they are heading. Then, it shows a red circle which shows the places where the bombs are going to be thrown. Alin and Radu are looking scared at their country because it shows the province where they were leaving before all of this.

"T-They are doing it?" asks Radu to his brother.

Alin confirms only in nodding his head.

"There has been only three cities in Romania who were bombed at this moment," says the news reporter on the live broadcast. "București, Brașov and Constanța were the cities who got blowned up by almost one hundred bombs. All our prayers are going to the reaming survivors who are able to still live after those bombings, and we are deeply sorry for the survivors who died there, and on the monuments we have destroyed by doing this action." then, the room of where the live broadcast is going on proceed to get some electrical problems for a few seconds, and then it came back, but only when the news reporter screams and runs away from the desk, while a zombie is running after the news reporter. "SOMENOE KILL THOSE THINGS!"

Then, the broadcast get blocked, and then, the TV gets closed by Alin, who is left speechless, together with Radu. They are looking at each other, and then both of them are sitting on the couch and look on the lights from the windows of this building.

***

One hour later, Alina and Ana are coming to the first floor, where Radu and Alina are surfing through channels of the TV, again, hoping they will be seeing something similar to the one earlier who got closed because of a zombie who invaded the room. Alina asked Alin why is watching at TV, and they told them the reason why they are doing this, and this made both of them frighted by this bombing information.

"My gosh." says Ana to all of these people. "We are lucky we managed to escape this situation."

"Right." responds Alina to Ana. "But we also got another problem. With the fact that anytime a bombing could happen here. And we have to wake everyone up."

"I'll go and wake those three." says Alin to girls and his brother.

Alin is taking the stairs to the upper floors, and he is heading at the rooms where Laura is sleeping. Being used to be an "alarm" in the morning, thanks to his brother who sleeps until 9 or 10 when they were having classes early at 12 or when they were in the first three years of high school.

He first knocked on Laura's door. Then, after he got no response, Alin knocked again and this time was calling her to come from the room. And, before he was about to enter the room of her, Klaus opened the door, with his backpack on and awake.

"Oh, good morning." says Klaus toward Alin. "We are already heading out?"

"Yeah." says Alin. "It looks like you are already equipped."

"Just the necessary things I needed it." he says while he was leaving the room he slept on this night.

"Hey. Where is Laura?" says Alin after he did a look into the room where Laura was supposed to sleep and there he found Klaus.

"S-She has left early. By herself."

"Oh. I see." says Alin surprised to Klaus. "She could've at least awaited for us."

"She left right when you were about to take your shift."

"I understand."says Alin who's closing the door of this room. "However, did she tell you something else besides of her leaving?"

"... Nothing." lies Klaus. "She only said "Good luck!" and "We will see there.". Things like that."

"Aha." says Alin going downstairs to the floor where Lee is still sleeping.

When Alin got to that floor, he sees Ho Lee leaving his room, holding his backpack and with a new weapon, a sniper rifle. Alin asked Ho Lee where he got that weapon from, which Lee told him.

"I found it into this room, together with a dead man. He probably used this weapon as a suicide method since all of his brains were blown up in the bathroom and brains components were on the ceiling and walls."

"I feel sorry for the man." says Alin to Ho Lee. "Did he got a bite on his arm or somewhere else?"

"I didn't checked him, but seeing that all the parts of his brain were blown up, this means that he would not be able to transform into one of those creatures from outside."

"You are probably right. We haven't seen a zombie reanimate from the dead."

"You mean that he was killed, then came back to life?" asks Ho Lee who didn't manage to get what Alin said because his English it isn't that good.

Alin only nodded his head, and Ho Lee looked carefully at the body of that man.

"I hope so." says Ho Lee. "We should leave."

"Yeah..."

Alin and Ho Lee are leaving this room, and they are heading downstairs where the others are waiting for them. While they were heading to the first floor via downstairs, they hear a helicopter coming from outside. All of these six survivors are coming outside this building, they are looking on the sky and sees there the same helicopter they were encountering yesterday on the highway.

"Attention fellow survivors!" says the soldier at the speaker who's coming from the helicopter who is flying at a low distance. "To anyone listening from this. This city will be soon bombed. In only three hours, nothing will remain from this city. Proceed to the Port of Piraeus to take the last ship who will deliver all of you to one of the islands own by the Army of Greece! We have food, supplies, shelter, weapons, guards and healthcare! I repeat! Head to Port Piraues as soon as anyone alive from here can, before the explosion will be set off!"

The team of now four males and two women are taking their supplies and proceed to walk out from this building and head to the Port of Piraues. Luckily, Ana managed to find a map at this hotel who shows her the area of this city. She also marked the map with a red mark the area they have to go, and with a green one the fastest road she could find.

"Watch out!" says Alin aiming his gun at a zombie who is climbing a building, he hit, and it falls on the street. "These things can even climb buildings?"

"We have encountered a few of them, brother." says Radu to him.

"Right... But we should be more careful." says Alina to those two. "And do not provoke much noise. God knows how many of these creatures are into this city."

They are walking in a fast peace and kill any moving zombies on their way by using only their knives or a weapon who couldn't make this much noise to alert other zombies. But, when they did take the corner of the street, all of them stopped and looked shocked because in front of them, there is a huge wave of zombies who are looking burned and look at the buildings or some who are eating other zombie corpse.

"Shit." says Ana while all six of them are hiding from these things. "We have to find another road." she looks on the map and let the other survivors look at it. Ana points the position where they are now, thanks to a sign who told them they are at Panton. "If we aren't able to take a right, I think crossing this street and taking the other right might help us."

"And if not?" asks Alina to Ana.

"Then. We will have to make a way. Or use the highway."

"Ugh. Highways." says Radu. "I hate them."

"Same here." says Ho Lee to Radu. "But what if we can try to take a working car?"

"It will be pointless." says Alina. "There are plenty of zombies here, and a car will attract too much noise."

"But what if we take a car, and then we stop at approximately 100 or 500 meters from the Port? Plus, in the speaker they say that the last ship will be leaving in three hours. I'd rather not risk on this situation."

"I-I agree with Lee." says Ana to Alina which makes her feeling surprised by this. "Taking a car might the only option we might have to arrive there sooner than walk a long distance through waves of zombies."

"Really? You want to take a car?" asks Alina to Lee and Ana. "This might be a bad idea."

"We have to try." says Klaus to these survivors, and he looks back at a van who is having his keys there. "In fact, we might be lucky on this one." he goes to that car, he opens it and takes the keys from there, to show it to his teammates. "Who's driving?"

"I will." says Ana raising her hand.

"Good choice." he says Klaus passing the keys to Ana.

"Get in." says Ana to his team and all of them are getting into this red van.

Alina, Alin, Radu and Lee are sitting on the back of the van, who is area used for transportation. There are also plenty of different things such as a couch, boxes with clothes, and other things. This one van was probably owed by a gypsy who was "collecting" different things found here. Klaus is the one staying next to where Ana seats, and he is a submachine gun, he opens up the window of the van, and he is preparing to shoot in case a zombie will jump on them. Ana was telling Klaus to close the window, at first he didn't want to do that, but after some talk, he closes the window and stay still.
