In the road that connects Benin City to Onitsha, a group of six survivors, four male Africans and two British girls are trapped on a huge blockage and they have to take it to foot to their next destination. The blockage is so big, that not even a truck would be able to move all the abomination these drivers made. And it is worse than the group though it will be because on this blockage, there are dozens of zombies and humans who are trying to escape and run away.
Malcom leads the group of the five people on the road. As they continue to run on the road, they encounter all such of zombies from those who are crawling, walking and running to them. But, they have guns who can help them kill the target from the distance. But a gun on this type of apocalypse scenario, where zombies can be "controlled" by noise it is not such a good idea. Especially on this scenario.
"There are too many!" says Zeny shooting a zombie with his gun from about one hundred meters who was climbing an abandoned semi-truck. "We have to keep ammo!"
"Right!" says Malcom who quickly switch to his machete.
The man, as he switched to his trusty machete, he easily cuts the head of an upcoming runner zombie who was close to tackle the man. That cut was so clean and so fast, it made everyone mesmerized by this. The zombie stumbles on the asphalt and hits the part of his body near a car tire, while the head falls on the ground, who is still moving.
"He's still alive?" asks Tina looking terrified at the moving head of that zombie.
"The thing cannot die until we are destroying the brain." says Ana looking at the creature, then closing the eyes after Malcom stumbled on it with his boots.
After this event, the group continue to walk further, jumping over cars who are blocking their way, dodging the ones with alarms, and killing all the zombies who are on their way with knives, machetes and axe. Even Ana made a kill of a zombie, by hitting the head of the creature pretty hard when he was following her on a slow speed. But after she has done a hit, Tina comes over, and stabs the creature forehead, making the entire cognitive motion of the thing to stop reacting forever.
"Thanks." says Ana to Tina, feeling scared.
"We have to go!" says Ana to Tina. "Snap out of it!"

"I-I will." says Ana and follows her friend from childhood.
The group continues to march forward, until, they observe the zone where the blockage is ending. The group is looking hopeful at the barricade that is approximately two meters away from them. Now, seeing the blockage is getting wider and wider, the group proceed to run toward the end, stabbing every zombie on their way, or pushing them down.
After this run, the group got to the end, where there were about tens of barricades and the signs having word of "Quarantine!", "Keep out!", "Danger zone!" in Nigerian written all over it. Some cars were there, but most of them are empty and looted. Cars like ambulances, Police truck and even a helicopter that is still on fire, meaning a terrible accident has happened.
On the street, the group spotted about hundreds of corpses resembling humans that are wearing formal, casual and non-formal clothes, and there were other who were wearing uniforms. Ana sees a few corpses of soldiers, who are having a big bullet wound on their head, especially on the forehead.
"It is terrible." says Ana in Nigerian.
"It is." responds Malcom feeling awful looking at the soldiers who were once members of their team or colleagues from the army training program. "My Go." says in English, then he speaks in Nigerian. "This event is worse than Covid."
"It is." says Zeny looking at all the vehicles, then he hears a few zombies coming closer to them. "We have to run, now!"
The man by the name of Zeny warns everybody about the upcoming zombies, where they take on their guns and start shooting the things. Unlike Ana who is going inside a car because she spotted a pair of keys in the contact engine. When she got in the car, she saw a zombie toddler on the backseat, growling and trying to reach Ana, but it cannot since it is tied too well to that seat.
Ana, leaves the car with the baby still in zombie form and goes to search for the another one. She sees a bus that crashed and from there, leaves a woman with her arm cut. She was still human, a white woman speaking a foreign language and demanding help from anybody. Ana was at the distance of about twenty meters from her, she was running after her, but a zombie fled from the bus window and pins the poor woman down, then he eats her alive.
The zombie bites the neck of that woman who is still screaming, then he bites the face of her, killing it her instantly. Then, the zombie proceeds to eat the woman slowly, while Ana is looking at her corpse being eaten. Then, the poor woman backs away, and goes to her group after the whole shooting has stopped.
"We are good." says Malcom to his group in Nigerian. "Let's go, people!"
Then, the whole group starts to walk further on the street, killing every zombie that is approaching them with their machetes, axes and bats. Ana on the other hand, she is hiding behind the people and is looking freaked out at the things running to her, and at the corpses laying on the streets and ground. she is creeped by all of this, and she feels like she wouldn't be able to handle this new reality of this anymore.
