after reaching the narrow space in the back of the building, Tory climbed up to the wall with Roy and Michael.
Tory looked disappointed and disgusted when checking if they could reach the church. Roy understood and pointed towards the wall, beginning to climb the pipe.
a zombie was about to drag Roy to make him a feats Roy quickly put a black bag on the zombie suddenly the zombie stopped almost as if it was hanged as the world around it turned black it making it stagger back, others followed suit throwing plastic bags down as they climbed up, slowly ascending the building through its pipes. the bags fell like parachutes on zombies overwhelming the zombies trying to take it off made them act weirder than before some being completely still some fighting their own kind
They noticed a strange creaking noise from the pipe beneath them as they climbed. Hruday, who was leading the way, felt and saw the pipe beginning to loosen. Panic set in. They couldn't risk falling, so they had to descend to the first floor, planning to move upward by circling the building and finding new pipes or handholds to climb. The overwhelming sight of blood and the emotional turmoil caused dizziness for everyone.
reaching the floor, they looked around, hoping that zombies wouldn't come rushing at them but that was exactly what had occurred Hruday pulled out his glass bottles and threw them on their sides, making them look towards one another but not all were blind It seemed few still came running towards them, he kept throwing the bottles. It was a mistake made due to fear, but he felt he wasn't fast and did too much thinking, Due to that, he noticed the zombies not growling at them but he had to be faster to survive
Everyone jumped up on the iron ventilator box [AC compressor box] and jumped on a window As Hruday and Troy were last, it seemed that the air conditioner was on its last strand This tensed Hruday, who was really anxious by how the ventilator shook and made noise when Michael jumped.
Troy pushed back Hruday by his elbows and jumped up from the ventilator box Hruday's heart skipped a beat Time felt slow, but he was fast As he tried to push the air ventilator, it toppled down. His heart sank literally as his body fell,
but he somehow managed to grip the broken, rusted stand of the now-fallen AC ventilator. The broken rusty rod was buried into his skin, but he couldn't leave it.
He looked down at all the zombies waiting for him to lose his grip and some zombies from upside which were chasing him fell off trying to eat him hruday mustered all his strength and pushed his leg against the wall, jumping to the next small platform in the window shade Then he took a small rest, climbed up and sat down, glaring holes towards the troy
After climbing up from two windows to the terrace, fortunately finding the building completely sealed off without any doors connecting to other floors, they experienced a strange mix of emotions, the most prominent one being triumph. It was like going down a water slide for the first time, feeling a thrill of excitement and accomplishment. Roy checked his injury. Michael said, "I thought you were going to die, dammit!
Tory averted his eyes and said, Yes, me too. Hruday thought "I will kill you" and imagined pushing him off the building. He shook his head of dark thought and glared at Tory, who was looking around
Then he looked down to find the secret spot filled with struggling survivors getting bitten by zombies. It took a long time for them to turn They just watched silently. Michael was far behind the edge hearing ceaseless sounds losing all hope and slucking.
The shriek of helicopters above cut through the air—hope flying overhead—but they didn't stop. Hruday and the others shouted and waved their arms, but the choppers drifted away like ghosts in the wind, vanishing without a single acknowledgment.
Why won't they stop!" Michael shouted, voice cracking with despair.
hruday said out loud "It was obvious I just wasted my energy"
they waited for a while zombies didn't seem to have any intention to move Hruday glanced up at the sinking sun, his stomach twisting with dread. "We need to find cover before it gets dark," he muttered, voice low but urgent.
Troy glared back. "Why? The night can't be worse than this!" hruday glared back are you dumb at night there might be no light how are we supposed to go to my house this way and i want to get to safety before these things change more
Roy said "How can we cross? we are stuck surrounded by these things" there was silence a long one at that
The ceaseless sound was broken by a man in an SUV who came from the left of Hruday's vision and crashed into a bus, blocking him. He struggled to navigate the path crowded with zombies and vehicles.
He struggled, then realized his fate was sealed. Guilt, regret, and loss overwhelmed him. His comfortable life as a manager in his dream company, where he had even hoped to create his own game, all of that was now in ruins. he questioned why was he even trying to live so hard Then, he saw a bunch of teens in a building. filed with determination He screamed at the top of his lungs, "Don't worry." From that far, he might have broken his vocal cords. He drove around, pressing the horn, and finally, his car stopped, struggling to start again. Everyone's heart sank.
But because of that noise, the secret pit was now free of zombies Then they slowly dispersed and ran from the backside of every building till they reached the apartment but now they were being chased by zombies, and the entrance gate was locked
They could just open it in that situation and take a planned route Roy was familiar with the apartment, but the other 2 weren't. After running with all their might, to the compound It wasn't huge, just over 5 feet, but due to the pit made for rainwater to flow, it was difficult for Tory and Hruday to climb; Michael did with little to no struggle, while Tory and Hruday, who climbed at the same time as Michael, still couldn't reach slipping off and anxiously looking back their body drenched in sweat and heart pumping blood so fast that they couldn't think anything other than they will die,
Troy and hruday were praying at this point because they weren't able to use their hand strength; their arms and fingers felt like gelly, not being able to exert any grip on the compound. but luckily Michael and Roy were strong enough to pick them up with a little bit of effort on their end they quickly climbed up,
They reached the apartment back, moved through the back garage to the front where there was stares and a small hallway kind of space, and they continued to move upstairs stringy there was lot of dry mud with some wet noticing this hruday heart which had taken a small rest started to beat again,
climbing up as they reached the cross section for the next set of stares they saw a zombie running towards them hruday and Roy pushed the zombie and then kicked at the same time with milliseconds of difference sending it far away which normally would have impressed them and talk about it all day now these things weren't something to brag about but hope that happened every time then they came to the first floor just as they were about to climb up hruday noticed someone it was 25-year-old brain dead women naborrer that he had to be careful of every time he moved through the floor now she was disfigured creepy looking zombie that fit the word horrifying Michael terrified rushed saying "die you scary fuck" unlike rest of them and pushed it off the building's floor hruday noticed a zombie with a bullet hole
not having time to react or delve into that he ran to the 2nd floor and the 3rd where his apartment was located luckily there was no one but the zombies that they had pushed was coming back making gurgling noises and climbing the stairs like abominations in a horror dreams
Hruday took a few seconds more than usual to even fetch the key panicking to even find it after garbing it he quickly tried to open Troy snatched it from him cursing oh god go inside dammit they could hear the zombies were right below them hruday snatched it back opening the lock and entering inside the house Hruday studied his house he felt a tinge of pain and voice wasnt coming to call and he noticed The blood trails made his heart wince in pain, which tightened more as he continued thinking.
At this point, he was simply too exhausted to think and feel anything; if he was going to die, he might as well die, Coming all the way from school to his house now dying seemed so frustrating yet
Roy was tense for a whole different reason: locked door blood trail They slowly checked each other and prepared for the attack after waiting for a while chasing their breath, realizing they were safe. a relief washed over them, but it wasn't for Hruday, who was trying to shake his thoughts off, he couldn't
he couldn't and didn't want to feel any emotion except this feeling of winning the death by a hair breath. He reed down like a sunken ship and let the relief wash over him So did everyone else; they all felt exhausted and fatigued, both mentally and physically
Roy and Michael felt that they had just come out alive from the world's deadliest roller coaster tory felt he had cheated fate itself; he couldn't believe he had survived hruday couldn't help but to think about all the dust on the ground floor and even bullets shells he couldn't help but to think could it be army came here with that thought he dozed off other soon joining in
After a while, suddenly opening his eyes he woke everyone up hruday immediately said as he looked at the white light of the wifi, guys, two of us will download everything and anything useful, download full offline maps, survival tips, engineer anything I have an unlimited wifi plan he [paused and thought wifi might last longer as these things are cable operated and didn't need network towers
Another one of us will try to gather information and see if it has happened all over the world; if not, call for help and warn them.
I will fill all buckets and everything that holds water Who knows when it will be cut off? hruday urged before the depressing thoughts got into his mind He then changed into downloading, as he still couldn't stop thinking while filling the buckets
He found that there were still people who weren't aware of it They tried to convince many, and as they got better and better at convincing, they used popular Discord servers and Instagram page comments from people who weren't aware.
Mostly, it concentrated on Africa, Zambia, Denmark, the Philippines, and France, but it seemed all the big populated countries were filled with zombies japan was the worst, as only otakus and shut-ins were saved but things were looking bleak they quickly created a server called Real Zombie Help Guide
He invited every guy who uploaded videos to Twitter and Instagram and discussed their findings.
hruday was concerned about not downloading things, as everyone seemed interested in asking about zombies He switched places and started downloading things like Appendix Surgery, medical books, and copy-pasted articles. he downloaded information about guns, herbal medicine, various prescriptions for various things, chemistry books, etc., and after all that he removed the 1 TB hard disk, added another one quickly, and downloaded military tactics and signals, sign language, and various other things
Then he browsed the dark web to download information about making bombs using homely things, gun-making instructions, cars, boats, and hijacking. He also downloaded torcher techniques and mixed martial arts manuals. Finally, he wasn't sure why, but his internet was fast He had never found such internet speed; he thought it might be because of the end of the world.
Controlling the urge to save others, Roy joined, using his mom's phone to download wilderness survival guides everything he deemed important, even though it ended due to Michael's influence. He has downloaded some cultural content, novels, and his favorite manhwa after heat of the things settled over
hruday ignored and started to write in the findings section
findings
These zombies have varied strengths and do not underestimate
· It doesn't have all the intact scenes but it seems like most of them have hearing and mild vision It might be because they are still adapting
· It seems like there are mutants through our findings; they might be old zombies, which leads to my conclusion that they might mutate
· It takes anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours to turn but according to reports, it seems unreliable, as it doesn't make sense for it to be that slow It might be rapidly evolving to take over faster
· There seems to be a doctor who severed his arm right after getting infected He is alright till now
· This seems to spread from liquids so boiling everything is a must
· The government tweet is mostly dead some are still giving out causes; those are
· High fever ( confirmed )
· Dizziness and severe headache ( confirmed)
· Note that there is a high chance it could spread from bodily fluids, so avoid contact and stay away from sick people, even if it looks like a common fever
Suggestions :
Make yourself a mask or get one and protect your exposed opening by wearing armor ( such as game kits, tick fabrics, and paper on arms and neck shoulders)—basically enough to survive the bite
Images and guides
Don't panic if you feel like you have a high fever, and remember, fever represents you fighting it. It could just be a common cold so don't panic and get yourself killed. Don't give up. Do whatever it takes to stay alive. But also, don't ever drown others just because you don't have hope
I am trying to make patterns to find its origin I don't know if it will be useful, but I believe it will.
Try barricading or increasing protection of your surroundings I am covering my mouth and my friend's mouth for safety. Even if they turn, at least the survivor won't get infected
Also, don't chat needlessly; be sure to arrange your way to survive and share it
Write your findings in the findings section and look up techniques to survive in the survival section, where fellow members will share their techniques I have shared mine
Lastly, I recommend you guys stock up on everything you can and make your move now, as it might become harder later
You can survive Please survive for us You are surviving for us
From your fellow survivor, Hruday.
He sighed and thought, I hope I will be remembered and he looked at the room window and saw something strange
