Peter suddenly realised that they were now not very far from the reach of the two zombies approaching towards them. He screamed "Run faster and get into the building. Hurry up!"
Everyone got their consciousness back and restarted running towards their hotel building which was just few meters away now. They, along with a huge number of people rushed towards the hotels and restaurants and wherever they could run to save their lives.
The other staffs and persons working in those buildings and restaurants had already heard those scary screaming voices of people and were alert of the danger. They too were all frightened and gathered in the hall rooms, store rooms and wherever they felt safe in the buildings and locked their doors from inside but the main front gates were still open so a huge crowd of people started rushing into whichever buildings they could.
In the next few moments, a huge mass of people rushed at the building gates trying to get themselves in and everyone of them pushing the person ahead of him because of which many people fell on the ground but nobody cared about that and continued to push further as it was the matter of their own survival.
Alex, Catherine, Sherlin, Juliet and Peter were now in the huge mass of crowd at the front gate of their hotel building trying to get themselves inside but they were unable to move forward as there was almost no space left. Everyone was crying and screaming as loud as they could and were pushing the people ahead of them yelling at them to get inside the building. People at the frontline were getting inside the building as fast as they could and were moving upstairs.
It was almost the same scenario around each of the buildings present there while other people were running away from the monstrous creatures craving for their blood, in whatever direction they could run. Some people were running across the beach and some got into the chilled water as they had heard that zombies can not swim. They were not sure about this or how much of this is true but at that moment, whatever be the ideas or things that they thought could help them in their survival against those blood craving monstrous creatures, they went by it without a second thought about it. Most of the people were forcing their way into the buildings while others were running past those buildings in the direction of the dense forest.
Meanwhile, the two zombies reached much closer to the falling people and in the next moment, they lunged at them outstretching their hands. One of them got its hand on the right leg of a middle-aged woman who was struggling to get on her feet after falling down due to push by the crowd. The next moment, the other zombie also lunged at that woman and caught her left hand. Both the zombies started biting her off with their reddish black teeth dripping in blood. The woman started crying in extreme pain, shouting for help but it was of no use as no one dared to come closer to those monsters and put their life in danger. Besides, more than half of the people there already got inside of the buildings by that time and seeing that middle aged woman cry in extreme pain while her body getting ripped apart by those ravenous creatures, a feeling of terror ran across the minds of everyone and once more, the stampede took a violent turn consisting of people screaming and crying for help while trying to push themselves inside the building forcefully.
The buildings on the beach were completely packed with hundreds of people, most of them on the stairs from ground floor to the roof top as most of the rooms of those buildings were locked from inside by the working staff and scared other people. The people crammed on the stairs began pounding on the closed doors and yelling at the people behind the doors to open it so that they could also get inside as with each passing moment, it was becoming unbearable for the people to even stand there due to the crammed up place and constant push from other people behind them.
Juliet, Peter and Sherlin were able to just get inside their hotel building but Alex and Catherine were among the crowd at the main gate struggling to get inside as the buildings were fully crowded and there was no space left for them and other people to go. Seeing this, Peter cried out loud from inside "Alex, get inside immediately, 'they' are coming for you." directing his hands in the direction of zombies who were almost there. Hearing this, Alex turned his head backwards and his gaze fell on those ravenous creatures, three of them including the middle aged woman on whom they were feasting upon few minutes back, almost half eaten out with some internal body parts hanging in the air and dark black coloured blood all over her rest of the body, coming after them and were about to catch them too. There was no space left for the people to move ahead as entire area between them and the front gate of the building was crammed with people who themselves were trying to force their way into the building. Seeing no other option left, Peter said to Catherine "Come with me, quickly" and held her hand and diverted from there running past the buildings towards the dark and dense forest with all the other people following them as they had no other way to go.
Meanwhile, Tom and Harry along with the little boy were able to escape the three Zombies narrowly running their way towards the nearest building whose main entrance was flooded with people forcing their way into the building. Tom and Harry were unable to understand what to do to save themselves from the ravenous flesh craving monsters as it was almost impossible to enter the building from the main entrance since it was already jammed with a lot of people. Tom said to Harry "buddy, we don't have much time left. Look! those monsters will be here in few minutes. I will go and see if there is any other way to get inside the building." Saying this, he gave the boy to Harry
"Ok, hurry up!" Replied Harry holding the boy.
Tom ran towards the other side of the building but their was nothing to be seen which could help them. Suddenly he saw a glass window at one side of the building at some height but it was sealed from inside. He moved his head in either direction and his gaze fell upon a rock of considerable size which could help their cause. Without wasting a single more moment, he picked up the rock and flung it at the window with all his strength.
The next moment, the glass was broken.
He called out "Harry, come here quickly and help me get up there."
Harry quickly reacted and sat alongside the wall with straight back with the wall directly beneath the window. Tom immediately put his one leg on the left shoulder of Harry and jumped outstretching his hands. He was able to catch the rail of the window. Harry quickly stood up and held his both legs and pushed upwards. The next moment, Tom was up there. He quickly held the window rails with one hand as strongly as he could and outstretched his other hand downwards in the direction of Harry. Harry took the boy in his arms and helped him to stand up on his shoulders. Tom immediately caught the boy and pulled him up and into the building.
Harry moved his head in the direction of the Zombies at the main entrance of the building and again a feeling of terror ran across his entire body. He saw 4-5 people lying lifeless on the ground and those three zombies were feasting upon their corpses, snatching and tossing body parts of the corpses and the entire region surrounding them was covered in dark red blood.
Soon, the deadly monsters gave up on their 'food' and stood up and again started tottering towards other frightened people running in random motion as the main gate of that building was locked from inside by the scared people inside and also for the reason that no more space was available for any more man inside it.
"Come on, hurry up! Don't waste a single more moment there" cried out Tom making Harry gain his consciousness back.
