Finally after half an hour discussion, they still decided to let everyone gather and hoard the firewood and various supplies from the neighborhood. One team composed of ten people would search of possible survivors within their capability. It was strongly proposed by Chester who was the captain of SWAT from San Christobal city. That team was entirely composed by SWAT and lead by Chester. Another half of SWAT was divided into other teams. The crowded big house was quite empty after most people left in small groups to search for supplies and firewood. Many chose to walk while some bold people chose to drive their family trucks or cars.
Since they were not sure of the time when those beasts would come and attack them again, they decided to return to the mansion after every one hour. That was already a huge risk but they still chose to do that. Because they knew that they would soon die from running out of supplies if they weren't doing that.
This unusual night, some people were not daring like these people. They were just enjoying their time in the basements with the things they stocked. Although many survivors chose to gather various materials, large part of people only chose to gather things from neighbor houses. There were also a few exceptional ones, like the ones in Julia's house. A team even went to loot the only convenient store in the farmer market. The result was also quite satisfying. However, they didn't scout around the central area of the town because of the existence of dense gray fog.
The moon was unexpectedly shining through the fogs and dark clouds although it was half moon in strange red color. It was quite wonderful as these pale red moonlights could actually penetrate the dense mists. They were actually providing the vision to survivors unlike the sun in day time which was entirely covered by clouds. This also helped the survivors a lot.
Although both of the moon and the sun in this strange space were just virtual ones, their sources were originated from the moon and the sun of the material world. For unknown reason, the sun light of virtual sun was lacking something.
The small ceremony short sword inside the Julia's house was glowing slightly as if the red moon was providing it with something.
A night quietly passed. To the survivors, this might be the unforgettable night they had ever spent in their entire life. Especially after experiencing something unexpected and after silently witnessing the deaths of familiar and beloved people, no one could remain the same like before.
Alarm rang and it woke up the beautiful woman sleeping in the arms of a man. Tina struggled to get up from the warm embrace of her lover and she checked her phone for the time. It was already 5AM. Normally, she would get up at four but last night was a bit wild which left her tired.
They were sleeping in the attic. Whether because of limited rooms or for personal space, they chose the small attic as their sleeping place. Moreover, it was still quite spacious for two people. The only troublesome thing might be the lack of toilet and hygienic problem. The front one could only be solved by going down to lower floors but they cleaned the dusts well during yesterday.
Fortunately, Julia stocked living supplies well. They also got two blankets and two pillows. It was hard to sleep on the cool wooden floor because the house didn't have heating system. So, the two used one blanket as mattress and slept on it together. After all, there was nothing to be shy about since they had long known each other deeply. However, the two became excited after lying down on one blanket closely. So, the two did something intimacy for nearly an hour last night before they fell asleep soundly while holding each other tightly.
