Chapter 4

Days passed. I don't know how many days have passed. I was too busy grieving for Alex.

Growl..

"Ugh.." I groaned. My stomach growled again. I haven't eaten anything for days. Now I'm debating whether or not I should stand up and survive or stay here and wait for those monsters to find and eat me.

I would pick the second option but I couldn't let Alex's sacrifice go to waste. "This is the worst." I said and picked up a fallen branch, using it as a weapon.

After a few hours, I found a bush with some berries on it. I took one, sniffed it and ate it, hoping it wouldn't poison me. Seeing that nothing happened when I ate a berry, I took a bunch of them and put them in my pocket.

I continued my hike for a few days with only a branch, some stones and some berries I found on the way. I was glad that I found a river though, I could finally drink water and didn't have to rely on the juices of those berries.

I made sure the water was clean before drinking it. I drank until I was satisfied before continuing on my hike.

Two days passed and I finally found the end of the forest—I found a village!

"Fucking finally.." I let out a sigh of relief before running towards the village. The closer I got, the quieter it became. It seemed like it was abandoned. There were also blood stains on the ground and a few corpses here and there. It was disgusting.

"..." I was a bit speechless. I searched the whole village, looking for someone, a survivor like me. I opened the door of the last house I haven't checked and there was no one.

I slammed my fists on the wall. "Fuck." I cursed, suddenly remembering Alex which made my eyes teary. I slapped myself on the cheek to stop myself from bawling my eyes out. I took one deep breath and started searching for something that might help me along my journey.

After searching the entire village, I finally upgraded my  weapon— from a branch to an axe. I also found a good amount of food and water supplies that might last me a few days. I also found myself a bag from one of the houses and took it to stuff my things in there.

I immediately left the village after taking their things. That was rude of me but it was for my survival. I'd rather be selfish and survive right now than be selfless and die.
