Ryo decided to check out the nearby apartment building. Not for scavenging or supplies—he just felt bored. There was still time before he needed to head back to his base, and the uneventful quiet was starting to get to him. With no real plan in mind, he commanded one of the zombies to follow him while he readied his MP5. Just in case something unexpected happened, he could use the zombie as a shield while he retreated.
As he ascended the stairs, Ryo suddenly heard a low groan echoing through the hallway. Curious, he decided to investigate. His zombie companion let out a growl in response to the noise, and Ryo commanded it to lead the way. With his MP5 gripped tightly, he followed the zombie toward the source of the sound.
