Z stands for Zimbabwe - Part 11

***

Thirty minutes later, the group of nine people walk down the road near a high school that is known by the locals under the name of "Mutare Girls High School", there they see a group of zombies approaching them, walking, snarling and growling. Akinyi switches to her baseball bat and smashes a zombie head by one single swing. That zombie was having a weak skull that has been smashed and was on the verge of breaking. The rest of the group proceeds to fight the zombies by using their melee weapons because they do not want to attract any attention to zombies nearby.

The group o nine people have killed a total of twelve zombies without pressure. After this fight, the group is looking at the high school in front of them, where both decides to check the place, hoping they will find something useful in there. From the group of nine people, two people remains outside, taking watch, those two being Eze and Giconi, who are armed with pistols and knives.

Chidi and Quanda are taking the lead of the group, leading them into the hallway with a bunch of teenage girls bodies, who were all eaten and killed in this beginning of the infection. Akinyi almost slip on the floor because of the blood that has flooded the floors of the hallway. The entire group walks in slow steps and prepared for any surprise attack. But luckily, there wasn't any alive zombie in there, most of the zombies in there were killed a long time ago.

The group has checked several classrooms, but they didn't find anything useful in there. The group was about to give up on their search, but Quanda decided to check the principal room. And the group agreed to do one last room check. They spend like two minutes of searching for that room, and when they found it unlocked, they've entered it and sees at the chair o the desk the body of someone, without his head, and on the desk lays walkie-talkie. Chidi takes that walkie-talkie, checks it to see if it does have batteries, and the thing has batteries. Chidi turns the walkie-talkie and tries to make a message, but before he could say anything, a message comes from the walkie-talkie.

"Supply crate has been dropped in Municipality Park in Mutare! Crate that contains medical supplies and ammo to help survivors fend off the zombies."

This message repeats for a few times because it was robotic, not human. Chidi changes the frequency of the message, looks back to his four people, who has heard that message and ask them.

"Should we check it?"

"Yes." says Abeni. "The Organization tends to drop ammo supplies for survivors. Like us. On the ones that used to be safe houses."

"Why?" asks Chidi to Abeni, curios on why does she know this.

"It's something I learned from a squad in Europe. They are ordered to drop weapons and a map of the location of where they could be picked up. Don't know why they do this."

"So, we'll take the supplies?" ask Samuel to the group.

"Yes." says Abeni. "We may be lucky to find there is a way to communicate with the Organization and request transport to their nearest base."

The group agreed to go on the Municipality Park that is located at a few hundred meters from the high school. The group leaves the place, they informed Eze and Giconi about their plan, and all are heading to that place indicated on the walkie-talkie. Now, Municipality Park is known to be some kind of park, but now it is a place filled with corpses and dead corpses walking aimlessly. And this one was one of the said safe zones that Quanda stayed with her group of people.

After a short walk, the group arrived in at the entrance of Municipality Park. The group spots three zombies coming to them, and the group goes to the zombies, killing the three walking corpses with their close combat weapons. Smashing the heads of the creatures and watching them lay dead on the ground. The group continues their walking toward a big metallic crate that is laying near the main building of this place. Getting to that crate, that measures almost two meters in height and one meter in length, the group sees the crate is locked by a lock.

"Looked?" ask Chimola to Abeni who is going over to that crate and inspects the locker.

"Yes." say Abeni after a short inspection of the lock. "It's one of those with keys. How are we going to open?"

"I know an idea." say Quanda to the group approaching the padlock with the revolver.

The man points his revolver at a close distance and pulls the trigger to the padlock. The bullet of the revolver manages to break the padlock somehow. The locker, now being broken, Quanda and Abeni are opening the crate and inspects the contents of the said container. Inside this container lays a lot of melee weapons like axes, wooden spears, knives, forks, a bunch of canned foods and a bunch of water bottles who most of them were empty. There also lays some more important supplies, such as a small radio that is mostly used in houses to listen music at the time when Spotify and YouTube did not exist.

"A radio." say Abeni happy, taking the radio. "We can try and communicate with The Organization from here."

"Look." say Eze pointing to a bunch of corpses who are raising up to their feet.

"The gun woke them up." says Chidi to Quanda.

"I know. I know."

"Get in the house." says Abeni pointing to the nearby building in this area.

Abeni, Giconi, Eze, Quanda, Chimola and Chidi are running inside the building that used to be a restaurant, while the remaining people, Samuel, Monifa and Akinyi remains outside with their guns loaded, shooting the upcoming wave of zombies.

"Let's get this part started." says Akinyi in English like some kind of character from a video game.

Akinyi shoots her submachine gun to the upcoming zombies, managing to kill ten zombies. while she was reloading Samuel joins Akinyi side and uses his submachine gun to kill other upcoming zombies. And Monifa, she is killing any zombie who tries to get inside that building the six survivors have entered to try and communicate with The Organization.

"Keep the zombies away from the house." say Monifa after she killed three zombies by using an entire handgun clip. The woman reloads her gun and gets closer to her two friends to keep their backs.

Akinyi and Samuel got the message, both of them turn around and shoots any zombie who is walking toward the house, then they are focusing on the ones that are coming from the road to the property of this Park. The three people starts to run out of ammo from their gun magazines, and while they were reloading their guns, the two hear gunshots coming from the house and hitting the zombies that are entering the area. Akinyi turned around to the house, where she spots Quanda, Chidi and Eze using assault rifles they've found inside the house.

"Thank us later!" yells Eze as he continues to shoot his assault rifle to a zombie who is trying to climb the fence of the property, killing the thing before he had the chance to do a pull-up, then looks back at the three people. "Stay close to the house!"

"Alright!" says Samuel to Eze and continues his shooting to zombies who are coming from their behind.
