Two hours later, everyone from this building which was once a Hotel with happy people it is now a building who shed dozens of litres of blood, corpses of humans, but with six survivors who are sleeping in rooms, and one single survivor, who's outside this place, with his crossbow prepared for anything he will encounter.

The survivor, whose name is Klaus, came outside for a smoke. Even though it is apocalypse, Klaus is used to smoke outside instead on an inside of a building like a frat boy. He is not feeling asleep, only sad that he wasn't able to say goodbye to the dear ones from Germany, and hurt because of Ilie betrayal. He was an important part of the team, and he just flees from them like they were nothing.

At the time Klaus was about to put out his cigarette he was keeping on a pocket, he sensed someone looking at him. He put his lit cigarette back to his mouth, took the crossbow into his hands and aimed at the direction where he thinks the sound came from. From there, a man who wears a latex suit used in some disturbing videos appear with a "mature girl toy" and walk slowly to that man.

Klaus is feeling disgusted by this appearance at a late hour. He is aiming his crossbow to that person, and he warned him in English language.

"If you move one more step I will shoot you!" says in an aggressive tone.

"You look sexy tonight." says the person stopping and raising his hands. "You want to have ssssome ffffun?"

Klaus was close to barf when that freak said with a gay voice to him, but he decided to hold it, and continue to aim at that freak.

"Alright! Stay there, do not do any sound and respond only when I ask, understand?"

The person only shakes his head. Klaus then, asked the person one of the most crucial question when you meet someone in an apocalypse.

"Who are you?"

"I am Rei Harn. A gay stripper from a gay club from London."

"London? That's a big distance from here."

"Oh, well... I was on vacation with my husband who... Who is dead. But he can still be fuckable."

"Ah, Jesus Christ." mumbles Klaus who is now having an image on his head with that freak violating the zombie. "Listen to me!" says to that man. "I am Klaus from Germany. I came from Romania and I have a team."

"A team of only boys? How romantic."

"N-No. You have got to leave us, or else we will make you leave us."

"Shut up, honey. I am here because you have taken my place. The place I have been fighting for!"

"Y-You have killed all of these zombies?" asks Klaus to that man in a latex suit who is still having his arms raised up.

"Of course not. This was the work of the Army. My husband and I were just spectating, and these bastards. Have. Have taken my husband!" he says feeling sad and about to cry at any moment, then he looks angrily at Klaus. "Now. You are taking my house! The only thing who remains tied to my memory!?"

Rei was about to take out his pistol to shoot Klaus, but he wasn't able to be faster than Klaus who shot an arrow who pierced the man in latex suit head, and made him fall on his back to the street with tons of blood and corpses. Klaus was then. Walking closely to that corpse in latex suit, only to retrieve his arrow.

When he took his arrow back from the head of that crazy dude, his curiosity made him to took the corpse mask off, but when he did that, the latex man became a zombie, and he was close to bite Klaus, if it wasn't for Laura who came at the perfect time, and shoot that thing head.

Klaus was breathing heavily as he was tossing the corpse of the latex man on the ground, again. He turned back to Laura, and he thanks her. But then, Laura is aiming her gun to the head of Klaus, and this shocked him.

"Do not tell anyone, alright?"

"What?" asks Klaus feeling confused.

"I am leaving. By myself."

"W-Why?... Did we do something wrong?"

"No." says Laura who is still aiming her pistol to the head of Klaus. 2I-I do not feel... I do not feel great."

Then, Laura shows a bite mark on her left arm by rolling up her sleeve. Klaus it is shocked by this revelation of Laura, and he is looking at her eyes. He observes that her pupils were having colour red, as those of zombies they have seen so far. She is rolling down her sleeve from the blouse, and she asks Klaus.

"You see?"

"H-How did it happened?" asks Klaus to her.

"There was zombie under the bed I was about to sleep. He bit my arm and I couldn't do anything to prevent this."

"Bu-But why you should go now? R-Right when we are close to the salvation."

"Klaus..."

"What?"

"Could you please let me leave? I-I do not want to provoke trouble to this group."

"I-I understand." says Klaus looking down, and then he looks up on her with his eyes closed. "Go. And I am sorry... I wasn't able to protect you."

"It is not your fault, Klaus. These actions could happen to everyone." she looks back to the Hotel where the rest of her teammates who are sleeping, she hands the gun to Klaus, and she kisses him on his left cheek on the face. "Goodbye, Klaus."

"Goodbye, Laura." says Klaus looking at Laura who's leaving this area by going into the south, unarmed and without any supplies.

Klaus cries while Laura is walking away from their group. He understands that Laura being bitten by a zombie would mean dead, and she will most likely came back as one in a few more hours, so it is a good decision she left now, than waiting until morning, when she will fully become a zombie.

After a few more minutes, Klaus is looking at the surrounding corpses. There are so many corpses laying on the street that his mind was started to provoke some kind of hallucinations like there were his buddies corpses and not unknown humanoids who were living in good or bad terms.

He goes back to the reception desk of the Hotel, he tries to wash the tears who were dropped from his eyes with his hands, and then, when he did that, he looks on the working monitor, only to see a Laura on a security camera walking down the stairs so normal. This walk made Klaus feeling terrified because this woman was a good member of this team, and seeing her going down like that, it feels bad.

Klaus does himself a favour, and he closes the monitor to that camera who shows Laura leaving the area in a slow rhythm, and he looks at the other monitors while his tears are coming out from his eyes.

"Why does everyone around me has to die?" he asks himself.
