Chapter 81 - Maine Street - Part 22

As the van continues to drive to the street, hordes of zombies from the streets are hearing the van motor and are following him. One after another corpse of mutants rises from the grounds, some with dirty clothes, others with missing limbs, and a few more unlucky creatures are crawling. The van driver ignores the creatures who are following his van found yesterday in a supply mission.

"What are we doing?" asks Raoul to Jon as he drives forward and run over a zombie who was rising from the street.

"We will lead them to a city, and from there we will try to find a way to escape them." says Jon driving and being careful on the road. He dodges a zombie who was close to get hit. "Mayenne is a big city. And they have a loudspeaker. That loudspeaker is so loud, that sometimes I even hear from my cabin. We will get at that building, turn on the loudspeaker and create a big enough noise to alert the zombies at that location."

"That's the plan?"

"That's our only plan." responds Jon, and he dodges three zombies who were on the left side and close to grab the van. "These creatures should not exit."

"Same feeling."

The van continues to run on the road, and the horde of zombies becomes much bigger. Raoul took a look behind him, and he sees at least dozens or even much more than fifty zombies after them. He looks at other directions, and he spots a zombie at a few meters from them, who is on the top of a camping vehicle, and he screams. Jon spots the thing, and he quickly hand the gun to Raoul. It is a Desert Eagle who was on this van for some reason.

"Can you shoot that thing with this pistol?"

"I can try." says Raoul as he opens the window of his seat, and he aims his pistol outside the van.

He aims at the zombie of that camping vehicle. This is a hard challenge for Raoul because the vehicle is moving, the target is far from them, and also, this pistol has only five bullets in the magazine. This thing was told by Jon as Raoul shoot the first shot and missed it.

Raoul shoots a second shot, and this one hits the window of that camping vehicle. He sighs and feels already nervous. He aims again at the creature, he holds his breath, he looks at the creature, and he pulls the trigger. The third bullet hit the belly of that zombie who is still screaming.

"Dammit!" yelled Raoul.

"Hit the head!" yelled Jon as he continues to drive the van.

"Slow the van, man!"

"There is no way!" replies Jon. "We slow down, we get eaten by these creatures."

"Fuck this world!"

Raoul aims again, he holds his breath longer, then, as he keeps the pistol steady and aimed at the creature head, he shoots, and the bullet flies to the zombie's head. The bullet hits the head of that screaming zombie, he penetrates the skull of the zombie, and the bullet flies on the other side. As the zombie got killed, he falls on his back to the grass.

"Yes!" yells Raoul as he proceeds to close the window and puts the gun under his seat.

"Nice shot." praise Jon to Raoul. "You made a good shot there. And now, let's advance forward." he says as he steps harder on the acceleration pedal.

"Speed limits prepare to be ignored!" says Raoul as the van drives faster and passed by zombies who were trying to catch them, or jump after them.

It took almost six minutes, but they managed to get to the building Jon is driving. They stop in front of a small container which was made as a house by a guy who cannot afford a house with one floor, or at least a normal house since houses prices have been explosive last years.

Raoul and Jon are leaving the van, Jon goes to the door container, he opens it easily because it is not locked and as he opens it. They enter the small house, and search for the microphone connected to the loudspeaker. Raoul finds quickly and he handed to Jon.

"What are we going to do?" asks Raoul to Jon.

"We have to play a music which will attract any zombies." says Jon connecting his phone to the loudspeaker device. "And this device connects seven loudspeakers around all of the city."

"But why did they build it for?"

"No idea. But it was surely important." responds Jon as he presses the touch screen to a playlist at a YouTube offline service, he maximizes the volume, and connects all the loudspeakers at the device. "Now. We have to run."

They leave the container room, they quickly get into the van, Jon steps on the gas pedal, and Raoul takes the assault rifle Jon handed to him. He opens the window, and he shoots the nearest zombies who are coming from them. Jon tries to turn on the car, but it will take something. Raoul shoots the nearest zombies with the assault rifle, and he does a good job, he killed six of them by emptying half of the magazine. He continues to shoot for a few seconds until the van turns on and Jon get them out of here.

The van runs forward, he crashes a few zombies, and as they got to a clean street with no zombies, the loudspeaker's music could be heard louder and clear on the street. The song that is playing on the radio it is "Cotton Eye Jon".

"Cannot believe Rednex saves our asses from zombie apocalypse." says Raoul as he looks behind, and he sees a few zombies walking to the nearest loudspeakers.

"Cool thing this phone was still working." says Jon driving the van at the exit of the town, then he takes a different route because of the risks that some zombies might be still be there.
