Jack POV
And that is how we landed here. In this apartment complex. I knew about it because I like knowing where all the abandoned places are. This complex was going to be broken down because no one used it. Its our luck the government haven't gotten the chance to do so. Since it was abandoned it had no food thus leading to us going out twice a week to go and collect things to eat. We have been doing this for the last 3 weeks. "Cindy I know your comfortable but the sooner we get food the sooner we can come back.",I say. "Fine. Let's go", she says getting up.
Cindy POV
We need to go to town to get food. I'm not really someone who likes getting up this early but we need food. Jack gets our guns, with silencers, out of his backpack and checked the load in each. We've been lucky this week, so far. We haven't run into any zombies this week. I'm guessing the reason for that would be that Jack planned safe routes for us. Safe routes to stores that is. I never knew he'd be this prepared for something like this. Or at least I didn't know it 3 weeks ago but I sure do now. We decided on being in the top division when we first came here. Then we picked our apartment that we would stay in. After that Jack suggested that we should use the other apartment doors to seal off the staircase, in case any zombies try to come up the stairs. We did seal it off but we put a rope ladder over the railing ,which we throw off when we need to go out. Jack made sure the ladder was secure before we made use of it. Now here we are 3 weeks later from first arriving here. He hands me my gun, we head to the stairs and we go down ladder.
Jack POV
There are some stores near by but they are starting to get empty so we might need to consider having a garden somewhere. Anywhere safe and close by.
Normal POV
They walk their normal route to one of the stores and gather all they need. Talking softly as they do so. But suddenly they hear some growls and groans outside the store. They keep their guns ready in case of zombies while sneaking out of the store. When outside they run. After about 5min they are further away from the store. They stop catch their breath.
Cindy POV
"Holy crap. That... that was close. They were almost inside. It sounded like 13 of them, minimum. Jack how much longer will this apocalypse last?", I ask.
"I really don't know Cindy. I honestly don't know. I don't like this either. I mean we haven't met anyone human ,so far, maybe because they are in hiding like us. I know this is hard but look at us, we are still here. We'll get through this no matter how long it'll be. Ok?", he gives me a slight smile. I give him a sad smile. I don't even know if my family or any of our friends are ok but I'm glad one of us can be strong and calm.
