"Put!"
"Put!"
The sounds of snow boots echoing lightly on the cold ground echoed through the vast supermarket. Although the tension increased with each step, the fact that Light and Pacifica were covering each other made everything even more comfortable.
The heavy sounds of the zombies inside were really ear-splitting, hearing sounds like "Squelch...Squelch...." was enough to increase the adrenaline in the body by a huge amount, neither Light nor Pacifica underestimated these sounds, perhaps it would be what would save their lives.
After a short time, the duo found the place where the majority of the zombies were located and hid somewhere. Standing on the other side of a shelf, the duo waited and tried to make a plan with hand gestures.
Light knew that it would be foolish to attack them directly, so he must have thought that a distraction would be better, for he took out a huge stone from his Sub-Space.
The fact that he had learnt only the day before that he could pull things out of his Sub-Space without entering it, simply by thinking about what he wanted, seemed to help him a lot. The fact that he hadn't realised this feature for 6 months added to his thoughts about how stupid he was.
Pacifica, on the other hand, knew that it would be dangerous, but the fact that she knew there was nothing better to do was pushing her to accept it. Of course, this meant that the plan was ready to go into action.
Light looked back at the group of zombies and saw that there were about 40 of them together, and was about to throw the stone across the shelves when he suddenly heard a noise behind them.
Both Light and Pacifica turned around as quietly but as quickly as possible and realised that a zombie was coming from behind them.
Pacifica had just reached for her knife when Light stopped her, he seemed to have noticed something.
The zombie was looking left and right even though it was almost underneath them, it was not like other zombies, it did not see them.
When Light realised this, he shook his head at Pacifica and then put his index finger to his lips, signalling her to shut up.
Neither Light nor Pacifica were breathing, they seemed to be waiting for the zombie to pass by them, and as Light thought, the zombie passed by the duo and joined their group.
"Are the zombies blind?" Light suddenly thought and used his Inspection skill to examine the zombies, he was shocked by what he saw.
The zombies had gathered somewhere and it was obvious, but this group of zombies seemed to have formed a circle somewhere. Light was surprised by this.
Almost 35 zombies were standing in the formed circle, including tier 1 and tier 2, and a tier 3 zombie was sitting in the centre of the circle.
With the information from the Inspection skill, he realised that each of the zombies was blind, but the words "very fast" in the information about the 3rd-tier zombie worried Light.
After shaking his head towards Pacifica, he threw the stone with all his strength towards the shelves almost 20 metres away and then waited.
"CRASH!!! WHACK!!!"
Suddenly, it was possible to hear that the big stone had broken something, which, in the only sense of the word, had mobilised all the zombies. Almost instantly, all the zombies were thrown to the place where the sound had come from, which indicated the door behind the disappearing zombies.
Light and Pacifica were really happy that they had night vision goggles, and Light was proud of how much preparation he had done.
The duo immediately ran to the door and then tried to open it. However, the door wouldn't open, as if there was something behind it.
Both Light and Pacifica seemed to be quite frightened by this, the space they were in might not be narrow, but they were sure that the zombies here were not all the zombies in the entire supermarket.
That meant that only two of them would die if they fired their weapons, and the group of 40 here could swell to 400 in just one fell swoop.
After all, there were tens of thousands of people trapped outside before the cold subsided, there was bound to be someone hiding in the supermarket.
The zombies seemed to have turned towards the sound of the door being forced, the duo had moved away from the door when they realised this, they wanted to leave immediately but the place they had used to get here was already blocked by several zombies coming from there.
The sound of their footsteps had already attracted the attention of several zombies, and the sound of the door being forced on top of that was a really dangerous situation.
"I think that was stupid, Pacifica." Light suddenly said quietly, and then armed one of the two M4A1 weapons on his back and handed the other to Pacifica with a few ammunition magazines, it was a very dangerous environment and Light wanted to keep both himself and his companion alive.
Just as they were about to start shooting, suddenly a few voices came from behind the door behind them, and it became clear that these voices were not zombies with the opening of the door.
Without thinking, the duo suddenly passed through the door and the door suddenly closed.
The night vision goggles revealed the eyes of the people who had let them in. Each of them was holding a knife in their hands, their tired and emaciated bodies staring at both Light and Pacifica.
Suddenly someone managed to grab Pacifica and put his knife to her neck.
"STOP!" shouted Light, and then he locked the door behind him, pushed a small coffee table against it to keep the zombies out, and then pointed his gun at the man holding Pacifica.
"LET GO OF YOUR WEAPON!" someone shouted from within the group of humans, and at that moment Light began to use his inspection skill, his anger at what he had just seen dissipating and he began to speak calmly. These people could be persuaded.
