I wake up in the morning normally always a bit earlier by my last life. But 4:00 clock is then quite early I slowly wake up and now clearly hear a struggle I turn to the alarm clock but is off. I guess a cat ran past the motion detector. But I know that you can't ignore anything in the apocalypse, so I slowly walk to the monitor in the living room and am surprised to see a familiar face behind the wheel.
"Hey Godwin what are you doing here so early".
"John now don't give me that my daughter is asleep after an hour of crying. The whole town is in chaos and you've built yourself an idyllic fortress here it's obvious I'm coming, when I get inside I want to know everything!"
"Oh this is going to be interesting now I think anyway,
I wait until Godwin has brought his daughter to the guest room and greet him with a tea.
"so what do you want to know"
"of course everything just now an apocalypse was announced and you've been building your house for 3 days, that's not a coincidence John I'm your friend you can trust me with anything I understand if you don't want to but please don't fuck with me."
"I'm slowly weighing what to say and I'm deciding to tell the whole truth about my first life and what I've experienced".
John and Godwin talk until they both get tired and fall asleep.
The alarm clock rings and pulls me out of my light sleep I slowly get up go to the bathroom and then to the kitchen, just as I'm scrambling eggs Godwin comes to meet me.
"Hey John what's up today I guess not just lying around and watching Netflix".
"Ha Godwin that would be nice, no today I'm taking you to town, you need to learn to kill zombies and we need more weapons as well as food".
I say this as I don't want to use the canned food until we can't find any new ones.
After this short conversation, Godwin and John take the bus towards the city. They have left Sophie at home, of course, with instructions not to open the door to anyone.
They drive slowly to the city entrance the city seems empty.
"Hey, John, was it like this last time?"
"don't worry at night all the zombies gather and do something like sleep then in the morning they wake up and spread out and if you ask, yes there are different zombies"
"There are the normal zombies they are deaf and can't see anything they only react by smelling, then there are the sprinters they are a bit faster otherwise the same and last but not least the lumps they are fatter and faster you don't want to meet those"
In a short time they reach the grocery store they slowly get out and quietly enter the store.
I turn to Godwin and whisper to him
"I'm going to get a little loud and lure the zombies in, then try to hit them in the head with the axe".
I take my two machetes and slam them against the shelves.
ratatatat,
A zombie hears the sound and slowly drags itself towards John.
John hears this and stays calm
"Godwin try to hit him with the axe now".
"I'll do it boss" Godwin replies with a smirk.
Godwin slowly walks up to the zombie and swings the axe and misses the head, John steps in graft and hits the zombie in the head with the machete the zombie falls over and is dead.
"don't mind Godwin there must be more zombies here".
In this way the two clean the grocery store and take everything that is preserved or frozen. Since there are many empty shelves in the bus that need to be felt, as well as a large freezer. After they are done they are about to leave when they hear a cry for help.
"Hey John, let's go see what's going on, maybe we can help".
"Godwin you know you're my best friend, but when we get there you have to follow my every decision"
"No problem I'll do it"
And so the bus heads off in the direction of the screams.
They drive slowly towards the scream and see a group of 4 people sitting on a canopy above are many zombies gathered around them, the two guys in the group keep pushing the zombies away with the broom.
John sees them and can guess what happened this group was in the house when zombies broke in then they thought they were safe up there but didn't think they had anything to eat or drink.
"Godwin they seem to need a little help".
John drives the bus around a lot of zombies then gets out and takes out the remaining walking corpses.
"Godwin open the hatch then the group can climb onto the roof of the bus and get down that way".
At the top one of the guys suddenly shouts down
"who are you why should I trust you now it's safe up here and we don't need to leave"
"Of course you can't trust me but you have to trust me".
