Chapter 92 - Maine Street - Part 33

Later this day, at the garage of Raoul, Michael, sits on the bed where Raoul has slept since he got this garage, he looks at his bandaged arms, he feels useless, and he tells Raoul.

"You must be good with injures. Are you a Doctor?"

"No." responds Raoul, disconnecting the radio from the table and carrying him to the van who is inside the garage. "I… I was a journalist."

"Really? At what newspaper?"

"Here in France. You are probably not familiar with it."

"Fair point." says Michael to Raoul who is putting the radio on the back of the van. "What is the plan?"

"We will get there." says Raoul. "Stay safe, and wait for the helicopter you've told me it will come. If it comes."

"Don't worry." says Michael. "That Squad got a Hella of a pilot and a good squad shooter. While I was having moderate soldiers in terms of shooting."

"I see." says Raoul. "We would most likely hide somewhere and waits for them to clean the streets. Also, what is that thing you told me?"

"You mean the zombie from Class F? Is a monster."

"Yes… Are there many of types I am not aware of?"

"Trust me, mate. Not even I saw all zombies. Only heard rumours about creatures who are worse than the one I have encountered so far. A rumour is spread about healing zombies in Holland who can be killed, but they can regenerate their limbs if the mind is still intact."

"No way." says Raoul shocked. "A zombie who is able to generate his head?"

"Don't know how he does it, but I hope these types won't be able to regenerate their heads. It also sounds weird since most of the zombies I have encountered can only be killed for good with a shoot on their head."

"Yes. Not even decapitation work sometimes." responds Raoul sitting next to Michael. "Other types of creatures?"

"I will tell you at base." he raises from the bed. "We must go, before the squad will leave without us."

Raoul and Michael are getting into the van parked at the garage. The van contains one of the most essential things Raoul has, a radio, together with a pack of fire weapons, three machetes, explosives, armour anti-bites stored by Jon, three flare guns and one jerrycan which can be sued either to fuel the vehicle or create a fire to attract creatures.

Raoul sits on the driver seat, while Michael sits on the other seat. Raoul closes the door at Michael side since he was not able to close it with his hands (he got opened as the vehicle was there), and Raoul turns on the van, press the gas pedal and leave this garage. As the van did a right turn, roil continued to drive, without closing the door of the garage, which would let any single zombie enter or a survivor scavenging the place which still has enough supplies, and food since Raoul didn't load food into the van because of radio size and the other essential things mentioned earlier.

The van continues to drive thanks to Raoul, who is looking at the road like a decent driver in a zombie apocalypse. Michael on the other hand, he sits tight, and he looks at the windows, seeing corpses of humans and zombies who were probably having a hard time. Michael sees a zombie on the road, who is eating a dog, and he doesn't seem shocked or scared, he feels sad for the poor dog.

The van takes a turn at the street that is leading into the Mayenne, and he did, a zombie, who is leaving a building, sees the van, and he proceed to run after the van. Raoul sees the zombie running after him, and he doesn't care about it. Michael saw the zombie, and he looks at Raoul.

"We let him run after us?"

"He will most likely lose us." says Raoul to Michael.

"Hope you're right." responds Michael feeling useless because of the arms being broken.

***

Later, as the night came, Raoul and with Michael, arrive at the Mayenne, but as they got there, Raoul parks the vehicle somewhere safe with no zombies. Raoul stops the car, and he leaves the vehicle, then, he helps Michael leave the car because of his condition. When they left the car, Raoul goes to the back of the van, he gets his assault rifle. Michael stood there, with both of his arms being crossed on bandages, almost like a person from an asylum put on that known vest.

"Are you going to fight all of the zombies?"

"No." responds Raoul. "The plan is to get into a building. Stay safe and wait for the team of soldiers to come."

They suddenly look on the direction where a snarl was heard. Raoul aims his assault rifle with the flashlight at that direction, and he sees a zombie walking to them. Raoul takes the machete from the van, and as the zombie was walking closer to him, he sliced the creature head, at the exact area where the brain is still working. The creature falls on the concrete, and blood proceed to flow from the body of the dead creature who was able to move awhile ago.

"We have to move." says Raoul putting the machete on the belt, a fire flame he puts on the left sacculus, five clip sizes of the assault rifle at the sacculus on the left shoulder and holding the assault rifle on both of his hands.

He moves to the door of a building with three floors. Raoul opens the door slowly, and he goes first, then Michael follows him, not carrying a weapon or anything useful to protect him. Raoul and Michael are moving slowly without a sound, and Raoul illuminating the way with the flashlight at the assault rifle. He knows that shooting a gun would attract the zombies from this city and outside, and he knows the light would attract it too, but he has no choice because they are doing this mission at a time when the Sun settled down almost an hour ago, and electricity got cut loose anywhere.

Raoul and Michael got on the hallways of the building, Raoul put the flashlight on a corpse who is standing on their way, Michael observes the corpse is mission his right hand. He asks Raoul to poke the creature with the stock of the gun, and he did it. He was scared, but it felt a relief when he saw the corpse not moving or twitching at his gesture, and he also discovers a shot of a gun on the head, which means he most likely took his life, or he got shoot a while ago. Raoul and Michael continue to move forward, to the safety.

They got on the second floor, and as they got there, Raoul hears some zombie screaming into an apartment, he looks at Michael who only told him to leave it alone, and so he did. They move forward, ignoring that zombie scream and the hits on the door.

Finally, Raoul and Michael arrived at the third floor, and there, they sit on a flat, where Raoul decides to put the torch in the middle of the single room being supported by a few books found there, to help him adjust to the location and help Michael to sit somewhere and rest until the help will arrive.

"Are you alright?" asks Raoul looking at Michael who is starting to sweat.

"Yeah. Maybe I am feeling tired." says Michael to Raoul sweating. "Hope the rescue will come and see us. I would like to take three days off and sleep into my beautiful tent."

"You guys are having tents?"

"The solders are getting it, while survivors, researchers, families, and other kind of people are taking the trailers or cars." says Michael.

"Doesn't this seem kind of unfair? I mean, you are getting out there, helping people while," he says and se walks and sits on the couch, next to Michael. "you are getting out there and fight zombies."

"I got used to it, besides, it isn't that hard." says Michael to Raoul assuring him he is fine with the things he got at the base.

"Yeah. Well, if I ever get there alive. I would most likely stay somewhere and help the Army as much as I can."

"You are already helping us, mate."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Before this conversation would continue, they hear a helicopter outside.
