Chapter 9 - Kingdom of Living I - Part 9

Hours later, a jeep arrives in front of an airport that is located hundreds of kilometers away from their safe zone. Now this said airport was once populated, but looks like a wasteland now. At the front of the airport, there are a lot of dead bodies of humans, decomposed a while ago, most of them were having biting marks all around their body parts, zombie bodies who were all laying in there for months, and there is also a blockage of vehicles that prevent people from outside from entering the area.

"This is the airport?" asks a soldier in El Tigro while they are looking at the cars that block the entrance to the airport.

"Yes." respond El Tigro. "Nearest to our safe zone."

"The entrance is blocked." says another soldier to El Tigro, after he looked all around.

"I can see that." says El Tigro. "But this is not my first trip here, boys."

"What do you mean by that?" asks Ri Ku looking at El Tigro who is walking toward the airport entrance.

But El Tigro did not respond to this question, he instead went inside without any carefree with his double-barrel shotgun in one single hand, going through a hole in the fence. Soon, his fighters are coming inside the airport where they are following El Tigro who's walking toward the nearest gate of the airport. The group passes a lot of dead bodies that belong to humans who once were civilians and to military personnel. Some of these bodies have been decomposed for a while, while others seem to be fresh, which is considered to be something suspicious for many. 

"This airport was once a battlefield months ago." says El Tigro to his group walking down the hallway and passing the immense amount of bodies laying on this cramped hallway. "Thousands were fighting for their lives here, in hopes to catch a plane that would transport them to our nearest base. Many who came from this airport survived, but others did not make it after they were taken from here. Reports told us at least one out of five people coming from here were infected with this virus. Those who were presenting symptoms of the Z virus, were immediately shot upon their arrival. It did not matter if you could control it or not. You had the risk of possessing the Z virus. You die. End of the story."

"How do you know all of this?" asks Ri Ku to El Tigro after he finished his speech about this airport.

"I was sent here by The Organization, to maintain the protection of this evacuation point. But like many, it had failed the moment people came in masses and in hours."

The group stop in front of the airport gate, where they see in front of them seven zombies, who are on their feet walking aimlessly, and another one eating the body of a decomposed human. One of the people from the group of fighters takes his melee weapon, a machete, the others and El Tigro do the same, walking slowly toward the zombies and slashing all seven of them in a minute. Ri Ku has killed only two zombies, while the others have killed the rest by themselves. The zombies Ri Ku has killed came from one of the many hangars.

"Good work." says El Tigro to his group.

The group walks toward the planes and helicopters that are laying in there. At this airfield, there is a great mass of dead bodies, military vehicles that look damaged, a lot of destroyed equipment all around the zone and a lot of trash. There are five hangars that are located a hundred steps away and ask El Tigro in broken English.

"What's with these?"

"These?" ask El Tigro to that man, who has stopped from walking, letting Ri Ku and the others check the perimeter. "Ah those? Those are called hangars. It is a shame these are locked from the side."

"Have you tried to take down the doors?" asks that fighter.

"No, we did not." says El Tigro to that fighter, then he looks at the hangars, holding his double-barrel shotgun. "That's what we'll try now."
