Leaving all the town's people Ken had started a new journey towards his bunker while finding people to have a new start with.
We see a road with nothing living but the undead roaming around, every cars that we pass by had broken windows and blood stained seat's, following the sun toward east, with a gloomy face driving towards his destination while crushing as many zombie's he could he said " it is a big wonder that the road was not blocked anywhere" but little did he knew there was a big obstacle, between him and his bunker which was a city, he seeing the sign board remembering that the bigger the city the denser the population and more the zombie's he sigh's while thinking his options which were either to go stating through the city or to go back to the town and take other route thinking he said" the city will save me about 11 days but he might not ever be able to reach his destination but other route had it's own risks, he thought that route would take a lot longer hence a lot more fuel required if he was not able to get the fuel he would be as good as dead and there would also be a lot more zombie's in the town now" with a confused and frustrated expression chose to go through the city.
Knowing the risks involved in choosing this route, he about to depart had second guesses about his choice thinking " if it was just his irrationality talking since he had just lost a close friend" another thought contradicting " that he should not overthink about such small choice" he thinking he had gone crazy shook his head cleared all his thoughts and just drove towards the city, he surprised by the number of zombie's thinking that something was suspicious still driving, heard a many groans, he looked behind through the rear view mirror and saw a big hoard of zombie's coming towards him, he switched his gears stepped on accelerator, now panicking while remembering the first episodes of 'The Walking Dead' before he could think anything else he saw a large horde in front of him, thinking that he might be able to go through them, went straight towards them but having second thoughts he went left and seeing fewer zombie's blocking the road went straight and crushed them, he then noticed the cry of many people from the roofs of the buildings begging him to take them with him, he hesitating to stop tried to run away, but thinking how because he had not heard first cry of his friend he died, he while weeping said " I'll try to save as many people as possible" he still understanding that people on the roof of the building had no way of coming out to his car, he tried to search for people hiding in small stores, while also getting the attention of the zombie's so that other people could escape he then noticed a few people hiding inside a weapons shop, he quickly got their attention by using head lights of his car, asking then to come out and escape with him, they were very happy that someone is willing to help them but still being suspicious of as to why would someone endanger their life for stranger's like them, but they had no other choice except listening to him, Ken said "they should come quickly if they wanna go since a lot of zombie's are coming", they having no choice all quickly took their weapons out Ken also taking his weapon out both started to kill the zombie's between them but the amount was overwhelming and only one of them knew how to use a gun so their aim was as good as kids, Ken quickly regretted getting the attention of zombie's of the whole city, with all the noise from the gun fire the zombie's numbers quickly increased, there were now twice the number of zombie's from the amount there were before, Ken now getting anxious shouted " come fast or we all will die" they hurrying through the zombies slaying only the ones that got in their way not thinking about any other person at the moment all just tried to get in the car zombies closing in from the behind, seeing their actions of pushing each other to the zombies to save themselves he thought that they might not be worth to be saved, he having second thoughts about his choice said" you can't just leave them behind, now if they die it'll be your fault" the other side of the mind said " it doesn't matter they all would have died" zombie's that he had earlier attracted were coming closer and closer he having no time left, started to drive away, they then shouting at him begging him for help first started shooting him, one of them while getting eaten alive shouted" it was all your fault you gave us hope, now you have driven away leaving them with nothing but despair, you would never be able to be happy, never ever...!"
