Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Walking inside the store Davies was trying to push his shopping cart between the people blocking the entrance while talking in hushed tones. This wear a mask or get fucked rule was not bad in every way. At least now he don't need to smell all kinds of parfume and unpleasant smells while he's near people. Though it's still funny walking inside a bank with a mask and a hat and nobody calls the police on him. Makes theft kind of easy don't you think?

"Water, bread, eggs, some cans maybe? And drinks must have drinks. If the guys want to play some shooter later this weekend I'm going to need alcohol too so I can drink my sorrow away after some teen pro beats my ass."

- Mom why do you want to go to grandma's place? It's too boring there. Why can't I go to school today?

- Honey I told you the news gave some bad news and dad not home this week. I don't want to stay home without dad's now. And your school was canceled for this week.

Walking next to a young mom and her elementary school daughter he could hear the woman's anxious voice. She was grabbing all kinds of things off the shelfs while keeping her daughter close and looking around like someone who has a severe social anxiety.

"Everyone is rushing around like bees around a beehive. Maybe I should watch the news after I get home. Should I also stock up a bit more? Or I'm going to feel stupid after a week like the last time those panic shoppers."

After a hour of suffering inside the packed lidl he was finally back at his car. Of course after he seen the sheer panic and running around inside the shop and after one of the cassier run outside of the store with her phone in hand he also bought more cans and water.

"Just to make sure and if it turns out to be a false alarm I can simply laugh it off later. Better to be safe right?"

Davies drove home was longer than he expected. There was an accident a street from his house and he had to take a detour. While the police closed off the whole street. Louding out his shopping bags from the car and walking up to the third floor he could hear the police sirens starting up again not far from his place.

"After I put away my stuff I play a bit than I should drop by the clinic."

After a long session of New Place Davies got up from he's pc and it was already past 15:00 so he rushed down to the car and after a short drive he tried to get inside the clinic but the door was closed. Checking the paper stuck on the glass door it wrote they should be open till 17 so he decided to wait a bit before calling them.

"Maybe there was some kind of emergency right? Or could it be today they closed earlyer?"

While Davies was waiting front of the closed door, the rest of the World was anxiously watching the news, leaving the big cities or trying to hole themselves up inside their building. There are riots everywhere people going batshit crazy all over and nobody knows what's going on. The news are reporting about new riots in diferent cities every 10 minute. The police was understaffed and the military was already getting ready to stand up in several countries.

The US was the worst shooting happening all over the States. The police shooting at the rioters and the man and women running out the buildings chased by others shooting each other and the rioters. Chaos and confusion brought out the instinct in everyone, kill before they kill me take what I can before someone else takes it.

The looting was the worst 2 hours after the outbreak the cities were already in flames and most of the looters died with their hard earned loot in hand.

After the second try nobody picking up the phone Davies got back inside his car and drove home in a hurry. Halfway home he seen a man jumping on a car trying to smash in the windshield while a police officer was wrestling on the ground with another one. The second police officer was aiming his gun at the man under the police officer while shouting inside his radio.

He drove away next to them leaving before he gets caught up inside this mess. Rushing inside his home and turning on he's TV there was a news report about a rapid spreading disease that makes everyone go on a rampage. It starts with a high fever and after the fever the body temperature rapidly drops and bleading appears on every orifices. Aproximately 10 minutes after the bleading starts the patient looses consciousness for half an hour and when they wake up they attack the closest person next to them. They don't listen to reason and apparently also have no fear of death. They suspected to be under heavy hallucination, a few of them was videoed rushing down rooftops to jump on the cars on the street dying on impact. Others simply run front of speeding cars or still attacking after getting shot several times.
