Hours later, back in Oești, in a house that is situated on a top of the hill, the house is lightened by indoor lights, and there is figure at the window, looking down on the garden of this house, where a zombie is having impaled his whole body into the spiky fence. That figure is dragging the curtain of the window to cover the window view.
Inside the house, a man stands, donned in the attire of the notorious terrorists from Curtea de Argeș.There is another one, sitting in the couch and looking worried, just like the guy who closed the curtains.
"What are we going to do now?" asks the guy sitting in the couch.
"What do you mean what are we going to do?" asks the person who was looking on the window. "Following the plan."
"Who is we?" asks that soldier rising up from the couch. "Are you abandoning me, you coward?"
"Yes. I can no longer endure being a part of this any longer."That person is taking his gun from the pants pocket, and without any mercy, he kills the person from the same group as him. He aimed for the heart of the person. One bullet went through the body of this person, and hit the wall of the house. The victim clutches his chest in agony, his shocked gaze fixed upon his assailant. Before he can utter another word, the shooter swiftly fires six more shots into the victim's head.After the killing, the man disposes of the handgun, tosses it onto the lifeless body, and exits the house before it becomes overrun with reanimated corpses.The person walks away from the house towards the car they previously used in a suicide attack on a soldier.Sitting on the car, he looks through the map that was laying on the backseat. He looks through the map for a few seconds until he found the location he was looking for. When he found it, the man throws the map back on the backseat, and drives from here down the hill to the streets that lead to Vidraru Lake.

Meanwhile, in Valea Iașului, on a house used as some sort of hospital, a woman is treating the wounds of Mihaela and Maria, Ramus's cousin, after they were kidnapped and raped by these savages. Both of these poor souls couldn't talk to the soldiers on their way here, nor with anyone about what happen, until the nurse managed to convince them to open up about the things that have happened in there.
"The hardships we face in there." "We're in for a terrible time," says Maria first. "They do not care we were humans. Treated us like mere sex objects, physical playthings, relentlessly beat us to satisfy their deepest and darkest desires, and were even attempting to harm us with the intention of controlling us for not permitting them to touch or violate us in any way."This group…" says Mihaela. "Tried to do blow up something."
"What?" asks nurse to Mihaela. "What something?"
"I have no idea. I only heard so little since they were talking in the next room on a low tone. It did not help that the door was metallic type."
"I understand." says the nurse bandaging the two wounded females. "If you don't feel like it, it would be better to not talk about this."
Both of them agreed by shaking their heads in approval way.
Later, when the two females were healed from the wounds, they were called by Petre to the tent to tell them about what they have heard or saw while they were kidnapped. The girls told them the same thing they have told the nurse earlier. And this information did not help them too much about this.
