A Survivor?

The next day, I woke up and did the same morning routine and dressed up. I then went to the staffroom and waited. As expected the representatives of each grade came.

One of them then said calmly, "Students of each grade are asking if the rumors of Ralph's death are true." I said in the same "Yes, it is. Now call all the students to the stage." They did as they were told. After waiting for a few minutes all students were angrily saying things like "See, they can't handle the situation. We should escape on our own. They are not good enough. We should form a democracy." They keep saying these for a few minutes. I finally shouted "Are you all done speaking? Yes Ralph is dead. Do you know how he died? He betrayed and tried to escape on his own. We didn't stop him. We let him escape. Since he was afraid he looked at us expecting us to throw knives. When he looked back at his front, a zombie suddenly bit his arm. To end his suffering. I killed him. This is what happened. If he didn't try to escape. Our mission would have 100 percent success. Today we are going on a mission as well. The meal we eat might be our last and all you can do is criticize us and live here without the danger of zombies. If you keep being annoying like this. I would leave with a few people and escape. Without weapons even if you tried to escape you will die. If you stay here you will die in 3 months. So shut up and let us do our job or I will escape tonight."

Hearing my "lovely" speech everyone was speechless. If I said a student killed Ralph then other students will antagonize that student. Do I care if they antagonize me? No. This will also make the team trust me more.

I then left the stage in front of them. I went to the library and I took the map of the district. FrI looked for the best way to travel. After checking the map for a few minutes. I found one and marked it with a pencil.

I called the team and discussed the plan. I then tried to tweak the walkie talkie I got from the store. I could hear some voices but it was not that clear and I couldn't speak to them. I left it after the night falled

At night, I called the team to prepare and this time our substitute attacker was in action. Stanley Gray was a brown haired student with gray eyes. He had a fair complexion and was pretty outgoing. He is not afraid of anyone and is happy to join the team. After everyone was ready we started going out of the school.

The forest was dark as always. I could hear some crickets. We were in the diamond formation and Zack was in the front, me at back, Victoria at the left corner and Stanley at right. We walked past the digital store and took a right turn. After walking for 3 minutes. We met the 4 zombies. I told them to shoot them and they killed all the zombies with headshots.

The students were still not used to killing them so they were very disturbed. After walking again for a few minutes. We made it to the supermarket.

The supermarket had only 8 zombies in them. I figured the rest might have ran out of the supermarket to kill others who were outside. We took all the food we can expect for canned food as they will last without adding preservatives. After taking all the food we could, we left. I then said to the team "Be careful. Look after each other and be safe." They all said they would be safe and they left. I then went to the medical shop. I got necessary medicines for cold, fever, cough and other diseases. I also got necessary vitamin supplements.

I then explored the city. One thing I noticed was there was no living creature alive. There were no dogs, cats or even insects. It is as if they were aware of this danger.

I heard animals have sixth sense and now I know it's true. I then walked to an alley to take a break and I saw a dead body. There was a stab wound to the person's neck. The face was stabbed so many times that we can't even understand who this person is. It looks like zombies haven't found this body. Their sense of smell isn't that great as their sense of vision. I could identify him as a male. I took a couple of photos and left the place.

I started exploring again. This time I went to the bookstore. There were only 2 zombies. Most people do not know the value of books. I picked a cookbook with simple recipes for meals that can be made without many ingredients. I left the place.

Then I went to the bakery. There were only three zombies but this time they had a knife in their hands. I took a knife and started assaulting them. They couldn't think and could only move with their instinct. So I easily blocked their attack and killed them. I took a couple of cakes and other bakery items and left.

As the adrenaline left my body I started going back to school as I was getting tired. My whole body was sore as I was carrying guns and other items. I also used up a lot of energy while fighting. When I was walking back to the school, I could see red flares in the sky.

I quickly walked over as I couldn't run anymore. I killed any zombie I found with a pistol. When I reached the place I could see footprints in the footpath as no one killed those. I followed the footprints till it reached the road. The footprint was of a running shoe. I then left and went to the school as I couldn't chase the person anymore. I wonder who it is.

I reached the school at 4:36 am. I went straight to the staff room and said to Scott I will report tomorrow. The students said their mission was successful and they will also report tomorrow and they also went to sleep. I went to my beloved classroom and slept.
