Everyone was silent until Atlas spoke up making sure not to be too loud. "Damn, it sucks to see how bad the city actually got, even if I do stay around the area." In the city mele weapons had to be used as not to draw attention towards the group. Staying close together you all made it through some buildings until you came upon the mall, with a small gas station across the street that Mark had pointed out. It was decided you would check this out after the mall.
You all separated into groups of two, Techno with Phil, Jared with Mark, Toby with Tommy, Ash with Atlas, and you with Wilbur. Everyone split off into different directions with you and Wilbur heading towards the food court to scavenge what was left of it. There were a few incidents with walkers, but they were easier than normal to kill. Which worried you and Wil, as that could mean there was something more dangerous ahead. Thankfully there was plenty of food and drinks and you didn't have to search further. The supplies were piled into a duffle bag Wilbur had folded in his satchel, which Wilbur also slung over his shoulder.
Even though you already had what was necessary both of you agreed to walk back to an outdoors store and grab a few more things, which included LED flashlights, first aid kits, batteries, emergency blankets, a flare gun, flares, a few compasses, and more walkie talkies. Which most of it was placed in your bag. "Alright, ready to meet up with everyone at the front?" Wilbur asked looking over at you, "Yea, we need to head for the gas station before dark and most likely camp out there." you said without looking up from zipping up your backpack.
Wilbur snatched you back inside the store as you were just about to walk out. You turned to yell at Wil for snatching you, but he hushed you and pointed out the door. Standing in the open was a juggernaut. The juggernaut is the hardest thing to kill in the apocalypse as their bodies were well protected by the amount of flesh they have (Search 'State of Decay Juggernaut'). Luckily it hadn't seen either of you. Yet. Wilbur dragged you to the back of the store and grabbed his walkie talkie, radioing everyone. "This is Wilbur, we have a problem." His voice stern but quiet. Phil and Techno were closest to your area, so they were the first to answer. "Hey, what's your situation?" Phil asked quickly. Wilbur answered with one word. "Juggernaut."
Phil's tone quickly changed from just concerned to terrified as he answered back "A juggernaut... but they aren't usually in buildings." Wilbur sighed before looking over to you. "What do you suppose we do." Run, is what you wanted to say but while the juggernaut looks slow, they can be quite fast. Which can be deadly. The only option was to sneak out, and just hope you didn't get caught. "Stealth is the only way to get past it." Wilbur nodded and spoke into the walkie talkie. "Phil, Techno. We are going to try and sneak past it. If we survive, we will see you in a few minutes." And without waiting for a response Wilbur turned off the walkie talkie. Before either of you moved, you had to take off your shoes so they wouldn't squeak against the slick floors. With that you and Wil started out the door, making sure to be as quiet as possible.
