Higa stood in front of the bars of the station Liam, Angelica, Carla, and He had been staying at before quickly being betrayed. Things had escalated so quickly his mind couldn't help but move millions of miles an hour. Angelica looked over at him in complete horror, her body shaking just as he had been. This wasn't anywhere near what he asked for. He didn't want her to explode right in front of him, especially not in such a gruesome manner. He touched the blood that had flung onto his clothes, it was cold by now though it'd been a few seconds.
Nobody spoke a word, Nobody but Liam that is. He and Higa had both made eye contact since Delilah had died, it just couldn't have been real, but then again, what was anymore? Higa couldn't have been the cause because he said "Kill Yourself" right? That isn't killing yourself, that's dying against your will. Liam couldn't shake the feeling that something bigger was behind this, and he would've been right. Liam knew a lot, probably more than he should've.
Higa picked Carla up from Angelica's hands, lifting her onto her back as he looked around to see if there would be any shelter from there. They couldn't sneak back into the station because it'd been shut from there, and without a weapon to break in, there was no chance they could be there. Along with the fact everyone had been on edge after the whole incident.
"H-how about we just try and leave? Tokyo, I mean...If this is where all the zombies are at least..we don't know where the crystal could be now. But our best bet could be leaving here.." Angelica pointed west, she wasn't sure if she knew how to leave but neither did anyone currently awake. Leaving had been their best bet.
The three nodded to each other as they began their journey west, Higa held Carla's legs tightly so as not to let her slip from his back. The headache and freak out she'll experience would've been worse than anything they would've felt today. He knew she'd be heartbroken, it was her flesh and blood. They walked through the desert, the heat waves beating on their skin like a bunch of needles piercing through their clothes. Their clothes were drenched in sweat as Liam wiped some from his face.
He tensed up, the sand crunching under his feet as he trudged wearily through the sand, each step sinking slightly before the grains crunched under his weight. The sun beat down mercilessly, casting shifting mirages across the horizon. He could feel the tension in his muscles, it made him sick. He looked at Angelica for confirmation of the same feeling, she looked as if she'd been prepared to pass out and die. Hours stretched into eternity as he pushed forward, determination was the only thing keeping them all going. The landscape offered no respite, no shade sun. The only sound was the occasional whisper of wind carrying more sand across the dunes.
Finally, a shape emerged from the heat haze. As the group drew closer, the form sharpened into the unmistakable silhouette of a military base: fortified walls, watchtowers, and the fluttering of flags in the desert breeze. Relief flooded through them all. it looked as if it'd just recently been abandoned, the entire place had been deserted. Higa beamed cockily as he dashed over to the gate and turned around, gathering the attention of the group
