"The first option is too complicated with too many unknowns, let's just go with the second one."

"So we risk it all in?"

She thanked God for her life and looked at what seemed like a portrait of a girl in the deck. Jurin still clutching onto his bag kept thinking about his life choices. Both readied themselves, took a glance at each other, Alice started the car slowly accelerating it.

[Alice's POV]

Was it a mistake moving to Japan, maybe I should've went for a diffrent job. We are in a gamble of life or death but somehow I feel like we will survive. I want to see my family again one more time so I will believe in my gut feeling. Life was good but I want to enjoy it to it's fullest.

[Jurin's POV]

I am not really worried about dying, my life was a mess but I am more worried about the lady, she seems troubled. Maybe all the horrible luck I have lived through will pay up for this moment.

It is now 8 O'clock in the morning and bright rays of the sun are passing through the land, brightening the scene. The light reflected from a badly damaged car leaking flames. Far in the horizons where 2 people running. Alice and Jurin had successfully crossed the bridge, The car was wrecked but they both made it safely and are now heading to the unknown.

[Jurin's POV]

I am still surprised that we lived, maybe the luck paid off but who is this woman, she jumped through the car in the middle of the bridge while carrying me and as per my knowlege no human can jump that fast, that high and break through metal with bare hands. But who cares, we lived for now at least.

[Alice's POV]

I- I am safe, my body is intact, the boy is safe. I don't know what that monstrous strength was, maybe a blessing. I did feel weird this morning. Now we just need to get help, maybe the zombies haven't spread around the world, I will meet with my family again.

"So where are we headed off to now?" Jurin huffed while sprinting as fast as he can. "Don't know, keep running till you can."

They kept running without talking much. The road was pretty thin with foliage everywhere, there was no sign of any human settlements which meant there were lesser zombies around here. Soon Jurin realized his limits. "Keep going, we can find people in that temple." Alice said while pointing towards a distant temple, It didn't look like it was deserted, the painting was still fresh and looked well maintained. This meant that either the temple is filled with survivors or half dead - half alive beings waiting for their next hunt.
