Chapter 208 - What is your name?

In the street on the south side of the hospital, darkness was slowly falling from the sky covering the surroundings with sobriety, the walkers were walking from one side to the other and everyone was slowly approaching the hospital where the shots were coming from. 

Even if the sky is filled with smoke and the walkers have invaded the streets to the north side of the hospital, a figure was moving down the street in the direction of the hospital while in her hand a barrel of a machine gun was held tightly in her hand. 

After the figure slowly passed through the dark intersection, half of her head emerged through the lighted path revealing that it was none other than Alicia Clark. 

Alicia watched the figure of a walker gradually walk away, slowly pulled a dumpster and quickly searched for clothes lying on the ground and on walker bodies to fill this dumpster. 

After a few minutes, she pulled the around her body that made it difficult for her to move and slowly walked to the corner of the hospital that was clear of walkers and began to climb up some stairs that were right next to her. 

Alicia felt that today in particular was a bad day full of unfortunate events. She took the initiative to try to help Airon in the big trouble he was in because she knew him, somehow she simply thought of helping him, so she had to argue strongly with her brother before he came to this place. 

Somehow, this decision was made by herself and she felt really good doing it, so she believed that at this moment it was her true self who was making the decisions. 

After the recent confrontation with the Vultures, but now that she had seen a large portion of the Vulture group get killed by Airon, she believed that even if she didn't know Airon, it was a good idea to get him out of this hospital. 

But still, she probably wouldn't risk as much for a person as she does now if she didn't know them like she does with Airon.. If she hadn't heard that voice name Airon, she would possibly be back in her community with the others now.

Feeling the numbness in her legs, Alicia entered the hospital and the first thing she saw was two dead bodies on the ground shot in the head, some of the gunfire began to stop so possibly the standoff had come to an end. 

"I hope I don't get shot..." Alicia held the radio in her hand, waiting for the right moment to contact Airon. 

... 

On the other hand, Airon had entered a dark room, after finding nothing he climbed up to the second floor, looked at the wooden door above and wondered if he could open it slowly.

But just as he raised his hand, the wooden door suddenly opened and then several figures came out.

Airon quickly raised his pistol and fired twice, but the next thing that happened was that from one side a man came out of the opposite room and pushed him hard, successfully knocking his body to the ground.

Unprepared to receive the attack, Airon, who had fallen to the ground, drew his knife and stabbed it hard towards the enemy's leg. 

"Ahhh!!!!" 

The man's piercing scream was quickly silenced with a blow to his throat, Airon who was shaken moved to the side and with his two hands squeezed the man's neck. 

"Argh!"

"Die damned!"

Murmured Airon who was squeezing with all his strength this man's neck. Anxious to not lose his life, the man underneath Airon wanted to claw at his eyes, anxious to breathe, but slowly sleep invaded his body and he slowly lost the strength of his resistance.

But from the other side of the corridor a figure walked slowly, with a slow and clear voice, asking from afar, "Are you Airon!"

When Airon heard these words, he grabbed the knife from the floor and ran towards the figure where the voice came from. The other party, who was impressed by Airon's quick reaction, stepped back a little before a strong hand held her by the clothes around her neck and pressed her against the wall.

Airon clamped this unknown figure's mouth with his hand to prevent her from speaking, raised his knife and was about to stab her when he thought of the question she had been asked. 

"How do you know my name?"

Airon looked at this figure hidden in a large sweatshirt, he discovered that it was a girl and the current situation was confusing enough that he could figure it out in no time.

But this girl, who was none other than Alicia , looked at Airon fearlessly and then spoke in a low voice: "You should back off a bit, if I wanted to hurt you you would have died by now."

When Airon looked down, he saw a gun pointed at the side of his body where the vest did not cover him from a bullet wound, so he immediately stepped back and looked again at this woman waiting for her response.

Although he could not see this woman's face clearly with the dim light in the hallways, he reached out and slightly lifted the hood covering her head, he saw the brown hair that could be seen even in the dark. 

"You haven't answered my question, who are you and how do you know my name?" 

Alicia had evidently become nervous with a knife close to her body, but her gaze showed no emotion. When she saw that Airon had approached at high speed to end her life, she thought this had been the end of her, but surprisingly Airon had regained his senses and asked her name. 

"I'm Alicia Clark, are you Airon?" 

When Airon heard this name, he slowly lowered the knife in his hand and looked at Alicia with irony. "This is indeed a coincidence and more so that you came. I never thought we would see each other so soon, not in this bad condition." 

Saying these words, Airon heard the roar of the walkers in the distance and refocused his gaze on Alicia. On the other hand, Alicia holstered her weapon and began to walk the way she had come to get out of this place. 

Just as she was following Alicia, Airon looked down the hall as some walkers ran in their direction and pulled out a rifle from the gun bag with a long silencer and started shooting at all the red walkers heading in their direction. 

"Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!" 

Shots flew into the walkers' heads, which immediately alerted many more who were climbing the stairs to the second floor. 

"We have to get out of this place, there's no time to waste!" Alicia looked at Airon who was still shot and reminded her of what they needed to do. 

"I'm following you!" 

Airon turned his body and switched magazines, he had been looking around but discovered absolutely nothing to indicate that some other people were still alive, so he quickly moved his body that was slowly showing pain and they arrived at a broken window. 

"Because of this place, if we want to survive we must jump!" 

But just at that moment, a figure that was unseen by Airon and Alicia , came out from the other side of the corridor with a knife in his hand. 

"Damn you, I'll kill you!" 

Looking at this figure rushing towards Alicia, Airon used his body and together with him they fell to the ground. 

At this point, Airon felt his whole body slowly losing strength, apparently the blows he had received were not small and the adrenaline in his body was slowly losing its effect. 

The enemy who was looking at Airon as the sole cause of his whole group dying, and when he thought about it, he lifted his foot and patio Airon's head, venting much of his pent up fury.   

But at this moment, Alicia  had already arrived behind the enemy, and in her hand she still held a dagger, this was the deadly weapon she liked to use. 

Looking at the woman who stood next to him with a knife, and who was unable to deliver a lethal attack, the enemy used a technique that was able to quickly move away to the side. 

Alicia , who lost her balance, was surprised at how this man had acted without fear of having his throat slit and she regretted being an idiot in this situation. 

But Airon in all this time did not stay lying on the ground, he had stood up and with a kick to the head to the enemy, the other party fell to the ground trying to get up again, Airon by then had advanced quickly, he pressed to the front of the other party with his left hand and pulled back, and the dagger in his right hand skillfully cut this man's throat. 

"No time come on!" 

Alicia helped Airon walk and they both jumped towards the dumpster that was half full of clothes. 

"Shit..." Airon mumbled as he moaned as he hit the ground straight towards the dumpster. 

At that moment, the walkers had reached the body of the man who had just been killed by Airon, ripping off various parts of his body, ignoring any further movement in the hospital.
