Chapter 66 - Maine Street - Part 7

A few moments have passed, and Raoul has stopped the vehicle at a distance of three hundred meters from the Saint Malo Hospital. He stopped the vehicle because of a truck blockage who is blocking the entire street to the Saint Malo. Raoul gets off from the vehicle, and he also takes the suitcase with the paper he got, and the knife he got from the police officer. He puts the knife on his belt since he doesn't have a sheath.

As he left the car, Raoul he is walking on the streets, where he encounters a bunch of zombie corpses, humans who were killed by gunshots, some police officers who were also put down and killed by those creatures. As he walks in a slow rhythm, he sees all the surrounding stores, with broken windows and on fire. He sees bodies of people on the street, he walks past them, not checking if the bodies wouldn't be reanimated into zombies or were zombies and got killed.

When he got to a building, he abruptly stops because of a man who got through the door, panicked and with a zombie kid on his back, bitting his back. Raoul, acting without realization, he takes the knife out from the belt, and he stabs the kid head. This is the first kill of Raoul, but, it would not be the last in a few seconds. After he stabbed the kid into the head, he dragged the kid out of the man, and he threw him into the asphalt.

"Thank you." Says the man, but before he could say anything else, he falls on the asphalt.

At this moment, Raoul, realize that the poor man was bitten, he left him there, and he runs to the Hospital, hoping he will be able to see his parents there, alive and protected by the staff there or the justice system.

When Raoul was still running, he hears an explosion from a few meters ahead, he also sees where the explosion happened. It happened at a building, who was most likely used as one for living, rather than a company or a shop with home. Raoul also sees the building, falling and blocking the road with the material it is not useless at building. But the good thing is, the building has created a "bridge" for zombies to not swarm into the street, but the bad news is that Raoul has to fight against the remaining zombies and find a new way to get there.

Three zombies, left one building who is still on fire, and at the brick to collapse at any moment. Raoul decides to run from there instead of fighting, so, he goes to his right, and he sees a narrow space between buildings who are still standing. He manages to get through that narrow space, and he walks slowly to it. As he walks, the exit seems close to him.

In almost two minutes, Raoul escapes from the narrow space, and now, he can see where is the Hospital, it has to run to it, and dodge the waves of zombies who are walking and running to any human. One of these zombies saw Raoul, and he walks to Raoul. As he got closer to him, Raoul, taking his time, he used the knife he has, and he stabs the creature head, on the brain location. When he felt the creature couldn't move anymore, he pushes the creature down, and lands on the asphalt.

Another zombie approach Raoul, and he looks different from the other one. Raoul was about to stab the creature, but then, something unexpectedly happened, the creature, got down to the zombie Raoul killed recently, and eat it. This made Raoul fell weird, but realizing he has no time to think about it, he runs to the Hospital, which is at a few meters from him.

Raoul got to the entrance of the Hospital, but as he got there, he sees seven zombies eating a few humans' bodies, probably, since it is hard to determinate if he is human or not some zombie cannibal like Raoul saw earlier because it is at almost ten meters from him. Raoul sees the interior of the building blocked by ambulance cars and windows blocked with planks, table and beds.

" Are you kidding me?" asks Raoul looking at the fortified Hospital building. "How am I going to get pass that?"

But, before he could say anything else, he hears on loud gunshot coming from the Hospital, hitting a zombie who was at five meters from Raoul.

Raoul is looking at the window where the man or the woman shoot the bullet and killed that zombie. Raoul shakes both of his hands to the windows, hoping that someone from there will see him and find a way to let him into the Hospital.

Immediately, someone from the second floor is opening the window, he gets his head out, and he yells at Raoul.

"Are you infected?"

"NO!" yelled Raoul at the person. "I am not infected. I am fine!"

"Are you sure? You do not act like the creatures outside?"

"I do not!" yells Raoul, and he looks around him, seeing chaos on the streets and dozens of zombies heading to the Hospital because of the loud gunshot.

"Head to the back of the Hospital! I will try to open the window for you there!"

"Thank you!" says Raoul and he heads to the backside of the Hospital.

As he runs to the back of the Hospital, he encountered five zombies who were eating a few stray dogs from the city. The zombies were focusing on the dogs, rather than Raoul going on silence mode to them and stabbing their heads with is knife. He stabbed the first one without any problem in the center of his head. Then, the second and the third one was hard because they felt the zombie falling, and they turn to Raoul, but he stabbed their heads in such a speed, even he got impressed by it. Then, the last two are about to jump on him. Raoul kicks a zombie away, and he stabs the head of the fifth zombie. And, he jumped on the fourth one, stabbing the fourth zombie.

When Raoul got up, he looks at his hands, he breathes heavily as he sees blood on it. He is looking delusional at the hands, and he asks himself.

"Is that how survival feels on post-apocalyptic?"

He didn't have much time to think about it, he runs to the back of the Hospital.

As soon as Raoul got there, he sees a window getting opened and a man looking around, he sees Raoul, and he signals him to come at him. He also yells "Come here!", not realizing this will attract zombies. Raoul runs to that man which was at about twelve meters distance at least, he grabbed his hand, and he gets into the Hospital. At last, Raoul will be able to rest for a bit.
