Day 2

Yuki's eyes widened at the sudden crying of a baby she was holding. She was almost surprised to remember that she did not have a baby. She was about to stand up while still holding the baby but she realized that she was only sitting at the top of a high wall. She leaned against Deiji. Her roommate. Unable to stand, she just rolled her eyes.

She saw a nightmare she'd never imagined would even happen in real life. A bunch of zombies are trying to eat them. With that, a flashback came into her mind with scenarios of how they ended up in that kind of situation.

Later, Glenn suddenly turned toward her.

"Let's go there." The guy told her and pointed to the edge of the forest.

Then she noticed that people had already crossed from the other side of the wall and were already walking in the direction that Glenn had pointed.

Yuki remembers the day her husband drove his car to take her to Sitio De Villasarza. There's a weird white and tall barrier around the Sitio made of iron. People are already walking in that direction thinking there's a way for them to escape zombies.

Yuki nodded, then woke up her colleagues. Yuki was relieved because they had another man with them to protect them especially since they were already carrying a baby.

"Why?" Deiji asked Yuki who seemed to have forgotten they were surrounded by zombies.

"Let's go there." Like Glenn told her earlier, pointing in the direction where people are heading.

"What's in there? Why are they heading there? Aren't we still getting rescued?" Michelle asked them quickly and repeatedly.

She was dizzy and still looked terrified of what had happened. Michelle's question led to a lull in the conversation. They were unaware of everything that was going on, and they also had no news from outside of Sitio De Villasarza.

"We don't have any signals. We can't ask for help." Glenn's calm explanation made Michelle cry even more.

"I think it's planned. It's fucking well planned. To lure us here, they offered high-paying jobs and cheap supplies, as well as low rent, electricity, and water bills." Deiji said you can tell the extreme grip on every word she says.

Deiji looked at the zombies below them then turned around.

"So we need to go there?" The girl asked again and then looked at her colleagues one by one.

They all looked at the baby when it suddenly cried very loudly.

"Let's go. They're all approaching here because of the baby's noise." Glenn shouted and then jumped and crossed the other wall.

He supports everyone, especially women. Michael was very jealous of Glenn. When compared to the two of them, Glenn seemed strong and elegant. While he was just a gamer who sat all day.

When they all got down they started to walk towards the barrier they had to cross to get out and escape the zombies. Being unaware, someone who had been bitten had crossed over from the other wall with them.

They have been walking for a few hours, but they haven't reached their destination. They have not eaten, have not slept well and not a drop of water has been drunk since last night. Their bodies were weak as they continued to walk inside the forest with the other people from the other wall.

"My foot hurts." Michelle's complaint.

"I'm hungry." Deiji also suddenly complained which caused three friends, Yuki, Michelle and Michael, to smile. They knew how greedy Deiji was when it came to food. She was 'dead hungry' as his dorm colleagues called him. And Deiji really loved how her friends gave her a nickname. Nevertheless, no matter how greedy she is with food, she does not become fat.

The baby that Yuki was holding cried very loudly again. She thinks the child is only 4-5 months old because she already has two children. This time it was louder and the child seemed to have no intention of stopping. They did nothing but stop to check on the baby's condition and to rest for a while somehow.

"The baby is hungry." Yuki gasped in shock.

"Told you, guys. These times are really hungry times." Deiji jokes with friends.

She wanted to lighten the spirits of everyone even though she herself wanted to escape hell.

"It's normal for babies to be hungry. It's not normal for you." Yuki interrupts Deiji to tease her friend.

"Oh!" They were all shocked when Glenn suddenly handed Yuki a chocolate with the brand burnburone.

"I had a date last night. I brought flowers and chocolates for my date. Isn't that what you girls want?" Glenn suddenly explained to the companions as they gave him wondering looks on their respective faces.

Yuki took the chocolates and lightly coated the baby's tongue to calm it down. It is forbidden to give it to a small child, especially an infant on an empty stomach, but they have to calm the child down.

"How sweet." Michael yelled at a classmate.

"So, where is she now?" He asked again.

"She was caught. I was just a minute earlier to the four of you climbing the wall. And I didn't get a chance to save her. She was bitten before I could react. I was such a coward." Glenn's explanation to them.

They all fell silent because of the awkwardness of their conversation. Glenn lost someone and they lost everyone in the dorm.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Everyone stopped walking and the five turned to the source of the shout.

The nervousness that they hadn't felt for a while comes back after they hear that familiar shout and scream. A cry mixed with fear and pain. Glenn steps forward to clearly look for the cause. He saw a girl biting someone's neck. A zombie. He whispered to himself.

"Run!" He shouted as he started running too. The five of them found themselves running again to save their lives again.

"What happened?" Deiji asks Glenn as they are still running together.

Michelle and Michael are at the front, still holding each other's hand. Deiji and Glenn are on Yuki's side to protect her and the baby.

"How?" Yuki also asked but Glenn couldn't answer yet because he was also curious if anyone infected had also crossed over with them unnoticed.

Glenn still wonders if it didn't turn early as it did for the man who died yesterday. Maybe it depends on how your body reacts to the virus before it can get through to your brain.

"There!" Michelle pointed in front of them.

At last they saw the very high white steel fence. It's easy to climb because you have something to step on and hold on to.

Because they were getting closer and closer, and more and more people were screaming and yelling at what they heard from behind, they accelerated even more.

"Stop!" Although they were able to reach what they wanted to climb, Deiji's clamor stopped them.

They looked at Deiji and saw her step back. She looked at those people who were planning to climb the barrier.

It shocked them to see that everyone who touched the iron had been electrified.

"Fuck!" Michael just shouted and then backed away. He thought his and Michelle's fingers nearly touched it.
