For about an hour, the team of survivors is still walking to a street with damaged cars, and corpse of zombies killed, or ready to be reanimated like in the movies The Walking Dead or series Z Nation. Raoul hit a zombie laying on the road, and as he softly hit it, the thing suddenly started to get up, but it got quickly put down by his brother with a baseball bat. With only three hits hard, he breaks the back of the thing head. The walker body falls on the road.
"Nice hit." says Raoul to his brother as he pulled off the knife he was about to use on that zombie.
"Thanks." says Raoul's brother.
"You two be careful." says Andrew coming at them. "That zombie and hit noise might attract these dead on us!"
"Look out!" says the Owner seeing three zombies running at Raoul, his brother and at Andrew.
They quickly take out their weapons and defend themselves against these runners. Andrew shoots two of them, while Raoul's brother hit the thing head and made it fall, but then it got up, and Andrew shoot another bullet to that thing.
"Andrew!" says the Owner of the cabin coming at his colleague. "What the fuck! You should conserve your ammunition!"
"Sorry." says Andrew putting his pistol back to the shitbag.
"We have to move forward." says Jon. "We don't have too much to walk anymore.
A few minutes later, these people got at a street, with three houses who look abandoned. They see five bodies of humans, all on the road. They also see a few cow's corpses, all were eaten by these zombies and with their guts and intestines out in the sunlight. Andrew and Jon have decided to check a cow organ. Jon took a gut from it, and he looked at it.
"These creatures let a weird substance on it." he shows to Raoul the substance he shows it. "Maybe this is the thing that it creates zombies."
"Are you sure, chief?" asks Andrew.
"Yes." he said that as he takes a small bottle from his backpack, empty. He takes that gut, which doesn't measure two centimetres, and he carefully put it into the bottle. He then closed it and let it into his backpack. He then looks at his group, all confused.
"This thing might help the scientists to find a cure."
"Is it truly a safe idea?" asks Raoul concerned.
"Don't worry about it." says Jon to Raoul. "I will keep it into the basement and use it when the time will come."
"I understand." says Raoul to Jon.
They continued to move, and they decide to take a closer look at the surrounding houses. Hoping they can find something valuable from there, that will help them in their cases. As they entered a house, all they saw there, were some horrible smell. Raoul told his teammates.
"This smell is similar like the ones from the Hospital."
"There might be bodies there." says Andrew. "Probably still decomposing."
Stolen novel; please report.
"There is that." says Jon, and he looks at these three survivors who are following him. "I and Andrew are checking the upper floor, you," he points at Raoul's brother. "And Raoul. Are checking this first floor. If you see movement, you yell our names. Understand?"
"Yes!" says Raoul and his brother in unison.
All these four survivors, are already going to their floors, to check how are the things there and search for some helpful supplies this place will offer them.
Raoul and with his brother are entering the living room, there all they can see it is nothing. They also see a parrot in a cage, dead because of the lack of food or because the owner wanted to see him dead. That parrot it is a Psittacus epitheca's a parrot species known as Grey parrot, or African gray parrot. A small parrot which is ten inches in height, and probably a few thousand grams in weight. Raoul looks at his brother as both of them look at the parrot.
"Do you think the animals can catch this virus?"
"I hope not." responds Raoul to his brother question. "I'd rather not get attacked in the middle of the night by a zombie bear."
"That's what I thought. Hope the virus is only happening to humans." he looks at a sofa, and there, he sees a pistol.
Raoul's brother takes the pistol from the sofa, and he checks the ammo box of it. It only has three bullets there. Raoul brother takes the pistol, he puts on his belt, and continues searching the first floor with his brother.
After five minutes, all they have found there, were only a few supplies, such as food, water, wine, beer and candies. They also found weapons (besides the pistol Raoul's brother found it there) such as three knives and a sword who was hanging on the wall. Raoul's brother took that sword, and keep it. The sword he took doesn't resemblance the katana style from Japan, it represents the one from medieval era, which is not as powerful as katana in most zombie movies, but powerful enough to cut a zombie limb since their limbs are getting weaker with the time of infection.
The survivors are leaving the house they checked, feeling happy they've found something useful to help them into this apocalypse. All four of them are leaving the property and entering the next house. Before they would be able to open the door of the small house, who is having only a first floor, Jon hears some growls into the interior of the house as he was about to open the door. he turns back to the three survivors, and he signal them to be careful. They only shook their heads in approval. Jon grabs the handle of the door, and he opens wide.
In a matter of a few seconds, a zombie runs from the house, to Raoul's brother, who was quick in action, and he stabbed the creature chest. But this did not stop the creature. The creature was moving his arms fast, and was trying to run over the defender, but Raoul's brother, he holds the thing with his sword. He holds steady enough until Raoul came and stabbed the creature head with his knife, stopping from running and attacking. His brother retracts the sword from the zombie, and he looks at his brother as he breathes heavily.
"Thanks."
"We have to go." says Jon.
He is the first one entering the building, then Andrew, and later the two brothers are entering the house, all armed with knives and swords. Jon goes to the kitchen and looks for food supplies. Andrew goes to the living room, then Raoul goes to the bedrooms and his brother is following him.
Raoul enters the first bedroom, and his brother decides to go to the second bedroom. Raoul sees nobody there, not a human, a zombie or anything that moves and bites. He checks under the bed, and there he sees nothing, then, he goes to the furniture. Raoul opens the closet and there he finds clothes put in order. He looked at them, and all of them resemble the one wore by a girl who is most likely small size since most of them got the kids size. Raoul thinks for a minute about the small girl who was having this room, he wonders if they are okay, and it is not the one who they killed earlier. He leaves the room without anything since it did not have anything useful to help in their fight to survive.
Raoul walks to the other room, there he sees his brother, who is also leaving the other room, he looks at his brother, and he asks him.
"Did you find anything?"
"No." responds Raoul. "You?"
"Nothing."
"Probably Jon and Andrew would have a bigger luck than us."
They got in the kitchen and in the living room. The other survivors didn't have any luck in finding anything. Jon, Andrew, Raoul and his brother are leaving the house, and decides to walk further to the radio station, which is at a few kilometres away.
