Chapter 85 - Maine Street - Part 26

On the seven day since the infection has spread around most of the world and transformed a lot of human population into creatures with thirst for human flesh and without any purpose in life. For now, a blackout happened on the entire Europe, and soldiers trained for this type of things have started to clean a few parts of the city, establishing outpost for survivors. But these things have not yet happened on France.

Raoul, the only person left at the cabin who was once Jon's property, has finished the fence building, and he also used some cars he found on the street to use it as a blockage. Raoul used a tow truck he found two days ago, close to a river. With this tow truck he managed to create an impressive wall with the vehicle.

Raoul stood in the front of the vehicle walls, he looked at the road and at the trees, he sees a few zombies approaching his location. These zombies were most likely attracted by the sounds of the car Raoul made it to create this impressive blockage against zombies. He takes the sword of his brother, together with a knife, and he waits for the zombies to approach him.

A few zombies are running to Raoul at a jogger speed level. Raoul was creped by this, because it is the first time when he sees zombies running this fast on his direction. Raoul prepares his sword, and one of the zombies running got close enough, Raoul stabs the head of the creature with the knife, then he uses the katana to cut the neck of the zombie. With just one swing he performed an impressive cut, that detached the head from the corpse. While the corpse falls, Raoul swings his sword like a baseball bat, and he made the zombie head flies into the head of another zombie, knocking him down.

"Headshot!" says Raoul to the fallen zombie.

Another zombie who was running approaches Raoul, he uses the katana to cut the head vertically. When he successfully cut that zombie and retracted the katana, he kicks his torso, to made him fall on his back.

He sees three more zombies running at him. Raoul stabs the first zombie with the knife, then he takes it back, he takes two steps back from the others two, and he quickly cut the right leg of a zombie to knock him into the ground. He then stabs the other creature on the head three times, he pushes on the other corpse, and when the corpse got closer, to Raoul's feet, he stabs the head of that zombie with his brother katana. After he did a stab that killed the creature for good, he sees the small wave of slow zombies coming at him. As Raoul's breathes heavily, he looked at the five corpses of running creatures he killed earlier with so much style, he decides to turn on the sentries and goes back inside, to wash the blood of these creatures and clean himself up.

As the sentries got up and running, they decimated the wave of zombies that were attracted by Raoul's tow truck earlier to create these cars' blockage. The wave of zombie who were a threat at the beginning became small and insignificant in the face of turrets who cannot be broken by them.

Raoul gets inside the house, he walks to down the hallway, then he opens the door where the bathroom is. He enters the room, go to the shower, he turns him on, and he sees the hot water is running efficiently thanks to the boiler at the basement. He tests the water, then he proceeds to take his clothes off and go into the shower to have a bath like any normal person who killed five zombies with a sword and a knife.

***

After almost an hour, Raoul, clean and fresh, leaves the house, and he looks at all of the body piles the sentries have done it. He counts the pile, and he came to a number of forty zombie corpses, plus those five fast runners. Raoul looks at the sentries, and he sees them, rotating around like every time they are activated, and no danger is around them such as unknown humans or zombies. Raoul is taking the remote out, and he turns off the turrets, then, when he did that, he hears a whistle coming from somewhere.

Raoul turns to the direction where the whistle came from. As he did that, he took the pistol out and aimed at the person where the whistle come from. That person raises his hands and leave the forest. The Whistler is actually a man, most likely in his 30s, he wears biker clothes, a helmet with a Mohawk and has a shotgun on his back. The man looks at Raoul, and he tells him in French language (the language these characters are speaking):

"Don't shoot, please!" says the biker. "I have come here with peaceful intention!"

"State your name!" says Raoul to that biker, he doesn't let his guard down.

"My name is Doc." says the man in biker clothes. "And I would like to make a trade."

"What trade?"

"How much for that tow truck?" he points at the tow truck Raoul used earlier to tow the cars to create this massive blockage to stop the zombies.

"…What are you offering?"

"A shotgun, sir." responds the biker with his raised arms. "Twelve shells."

"You can take the tow truck for free." says Raoul not letting his guard down.

"For real?" asks the biker confused. "Why?"

"Because I have finished my thing. But why you need it?"

"I need to create a blockage like this."

"Where? Where are you doing it?" asks Raoul still pointing his gun at the biker.

"Seven kilometres from here, in the entrance of Gorron." says the biker without any sign of lie.

"Aren't there waves of zombies already?"

"Yes. But the leader has a plan to exterminate them in that city and make it free of these things."

"It might be a futile thing, but I let you do whatever you do with the two truck, under one condition."

"Sure. Say it and we will do it."

"You never come back here again, understand?"

"Yes!" says the biker with honest.

"Good." says Raoul putting his gun down. "Go ahead."

He takes the tow truck keys from his pants pocket, and he threw them next to the biker feet. When the keys landed there, the biker took it and run into the two truck, he then gets on the car, and he leaves it. After he left the place, Raoul goes inside, and he proceeds to pack the essential things. Why he does that? Raoul knows the guy was laying.

Jon, when he was alive, told Raoul about a savage gang biker on this area, who were always ended in jail or with fines. And Raoul also noticed the guy was on drugs because of his state he was in, and the way he was shaking not like a shy or nervous person, more like a cocaine, meth or marijuana addict. Being reporter, gave Raoul some advantages to notice the behaviour of a person.

He doesn't know what that biker will do with the tow truck, but Raoul has bigger issues than to find out these bikers' purpose, he needs to pack everything and leave this place.

First thing he is packing it is the radio station he and Jon took it from that radio station. He takes it piece by piece and put it into the van he used to take it. It took him almost one hour to do this operation, but when he finished it, he gets to pack the next things, which are three assault rifles and six boxes of ammunition for those guns. He puts these boxes together with the radio station. Then, he goes inside the house and searches for the tablet. After he found the tablet he opens it, and checks the security cameras of this place (yes, this cabin also has security cameras, three to be exact, one in the hallway, one in the living room and one outside the house). He puts the tablet safe into his backpack and takes the detonator of the bomb planted under the cabin.

Before he was about to leave, he took a look at the bed where Jon died, and he tells him.

"This is if the things escalate worse. I hope you understand it."

Raoul leaves the house with his backpack, sword at his sheath and with the knife on. He gets into the van, he turns on the car and as he was about to leave this cabin back, he presses the remote which controls the sentries, he powers them on. After he saw all three turrets are raised, activated and rotate, he steps on the gas and drive away from this place, to the building where Jon told him before he died.
