Leaving the store, I walked with Samantha towards the main road. I pulled the motorcycle and helmets out of the equipment and then turned to Samantha.
"Put on your helmet and stay here, I'll make noise to attract zombies and then I'll blow up the station" - slowly walking away I headed back towards the station. Approaching each dispenser in turn I hooked them so that the fuel would keep flowing.
"Okay, one thing is out of the way, now we have to make some noise" - I pulled out the speaker from my inventory that I found while searching the cars. I put it in a place that the zombies couldn't reach and connected my phone to it. I turned the volume up, turned on the music and quickly walked away as far as I could. A moment later, the music could be heard all over the rest area.
~Once upon a time, duties, that's what they drilled into my head~
~I was rushing to work, but they fired me~
~Now I feel like chasing vizir because there is chemistry~
~I checked the billing with the employer and there was no connection~
Zombies appeared from all sides and started approaching the station. I quietly went to Samantha's and bought a Molotov cocktail

5 minutes later the zombies slowly stopped approaching the station. At first glance there were about a thousand corpses there, maybe a little more.
"Samantha, are you ready?"
"Tak"
"So get on your bike and cover your ears"
"A lighter and a Molotov cocktail" - a moment later they appeared in my hands.
"swoo"
"Gińcie skurwysyny"
"Wrrmmmm"
I started to slowly drive away when suddenly there was a loud bang.
"BOOOOOOOOOOM"

As we drove further and further away, the points kept growing. 20 minutes later we entered the S6 and sped towards the first factory. I quickly looked at the points because they had stopped growing for a few minutes.

The station explosion allowed me to kill 1200 zombies in a few minutes. Now I could afford all the skills I wanted.
As I approached the first factory I began to slow down. As I descended I helped Samantha down as well.
"How was the ride?"
"It was nice," she replied with a blush. She almost fell twice at first, so I had to wrap her arms around me. At first she held me lightly, but the longer we rode, the tighter she began to hug me.
"Hej Mark"
"Tak?"
"Thank you for letting them rest" - I wondered what she meant for a moment until I finally understood.
"You're welcome" - I wasn't the only one who had family. Her family should have most likely died in the explosion.
"So, are we going?"
"Yhym"
"What will we do when we get to Tricity?"
"I plan to find a 4-story building where we can build our base"
"First we'll build up this place and when we're done we'll start collecting food and hunting zombies"
"... Can I help with the construction?" I looked at her in amazement. This girl...
"I hope you have it in your shop"

"Samantha I have a question"
"What?"
"Are you planning on cheating on me someday?"
"Hee? Nooo!!" - she looked at me, all panicked.
"Hmm, he's telling the truth"
"I really won't betray you Mark. You gave me a reason to live, you helped me when I was alone surrounded by these monsters. I will never betray you!"
Now it was my turn to blush, luckily she was so anxious that she didn't notice.
"Okay, okay I believe you Samantha, calm down" - a few minutes later when I calmed her down I started talking again.
"There's something I want to tell you" - she looked at me with a questioning look
"In addition to my ability to store things, I also have skills in construction and craftsmanship. I was just checking your reaction because I wanted to know if I could trust you. I apologize and thank you for not disappointing me."
At first, her face showed disbelief, then anger when I got to the part where I spoke about testing her reaction. When I finished, a huge smile appeared on her face.
"Do you have any other skills?"
"Yes, I am very handsome," I replied with a smile. It was my first smile since the loss of my family.
"Hahaha, yes you have that skill too"
"swooosh"
"I-I didn't m-mean that"
"Oh, so you like me?" - Watching her blush I couldn't stop smiling.
"Let's save the jokes for later" - now we have to take everything we find and move on.
30 minutes later we finished pulling everything out of the factory and moved on. This time Samantha cuddled up to me the whole way.
We have 5 more factories to rob, so we should be able to do it in 4 hours.
*4 hours 20 minutes later*
"Phew, we're finally done"
"Where are we going now Mark"
"Hmmm, let's get closer to Gdańsk first, then we'll decide if we can start building a base there, please check the map how many kilometers we have left"
"59 kilometers"
"Thank you, you're in, princess"
"Would you please stop teasing me, Mark?!"
"Hahaha why don't you like it"
"Hmpf," she didn't deny.
*30 minutes later*
"Oh fuck" - If I had to describe this city in two words, it would be "Big mess". More than half of the buildings were burning, bodies were lying on the ground everywhere and even more were walking. If there were maybe 2 thousand zombies in total at the station, there were 1000 times more here. At the entrance to the city, you could find hordes of a thousand corpses.
"Mark, I don't think we can build a base here."
"Ehh you're right Samantha"
Looking at Google maps I was looking for some smaller towns near Gdańsk and I found something. Just 4km from us was a town called Gdańsk Jasień. We got on the motorbike and went. When we arrived we were greeted by a similar view to the previous town but on a smaller scale. I turned off the motorbike and put it in the equipment.
"Now we have to walk, the engine is too loud so we'd soon be surrounded by zombie steaks"
"I understand"
We slowly started moving around the city until we found "our" building. It was a seaside hotel called Hotel Focus. It had a 2 meter wall around it, so the first defense was already there. When we entered, we had to watch out not only for zombies but also for people. I don't know what the infection rate is, but looking at us it's probably 1/1000.
"Damn" - there are 8.2 billion people in the world, if one in a thousand doesn't transform then there are only 820 thousand "living people" left in the world. How many of them will survive a zombie encounter? I don't know, but I know that I will definitely survive.
"So what? Are we going in?"
"Tak"
*The next chapter will appear tomorrow, probably around 9/10 p.m*
