He ignored it, for the time being, pulled out the knife, and beckoned Lana to keep going. They only kept to the back roads and stayed clear of the main roads. As they kept going they would occasionally hear screams of terror and more and more zombie growling. After roughly 30 minutes Luca started to hear multiple voices. He signaled Lana to stop as he looked around the corner to see what the commotion was all about. What he saw made him grimace.
"Damn why do they have to be so fast now? The last years they didn't do shit, how come they are here now?" he murmured as he saw multiple military Humvee's blocking the only route outside the city. They could go to the other side of town, but it was too dangerous. They could wait it out until they leave, but it could take days. 'No we have to leave now, I can't take the risk with Lana here.'
Luca grabbed Lana's hand and hurried her along as they walked down the shore. 'We have to cross the river on a boat or swim. We just can't let them see us.' he thought as he kept an eye out for a boat or something similar. After 10 minutes of walking, he found a 2 seat canoe docked on a shoreside restaurant. As they walked toward it two zombies surprised him as they ran out the Restaurants doors. They were probably the owners since the business was closed. 'Should I shoot them or try to kill them with the knife? Shooting would be safer, but it could attract the attention of other zombies and the military guys.' he pondered.
After a second he pulled his Knife and gestured to Lana to stay where she was and look out for other zombies.
He ran towards them and Roundhouse kicked the first Zombie. As he landed he kicked out and swept the Zombies leg, he jumped up and with all his might plunged the knife in the zombie's right eye. Just when he was about to finish off the first zombie he noticed that it was already dead.
'So even a strong kick can kill one of them. Now that I think about my kick could kill living people as well if I didn't pull my punches' he concluded as he signed Lana that it was ok, and they could keep going.
They went to the back of the Restaurant and found the canoe. It was just big enough to fit them both and their gear in. He helped Lana and her gear in before he let the rope keeping the canoe to the dock loose and went in himself. The River was 3 km wide and would take with just him rowing 20 minutes.
'Luckily I kept in shape even in this chaos or I probably wouldn't be able to row us across this river.' he mused and started to row.
When he was a few meters of the shore he began to relax a little. He suddenly remembered the notification after killing the first zombie.
'Inventory' he commanded with his mind and a game-like inventory opened. Inside was nothing but a package Symbol.
'Open package'

He looked inside in his inventory and found 5 new Item Symbols. Since everything but the knife was easy self-explanatory he focused on the knife.

He stared at the message as he suddenly thought about his own knife.

He now understood. He can probably gather random survival knives, and they would all have the same stats. Just as he thought about this he heard a heavy sound of machine gunfire. He looked towards the bridge where the Humvee's stood and saw that a huge herd of zombies was almost on them.
'Damn we have to hurry if they break through before were long gone it could get dangerous for us.' he realized as he started to row as hard as he could.
10 minutes later they reached the shore. Just as they got out of the canoe he looked back towards the bridge and saw that the first zombies already broke through and were exiting the bridge.
"Lana we have to hurry now we have to get as fast as possible away from them, or we might be in danger!" he told her as he gestured for her to climb on his back, so he could run.
Lana nodded and told him without a hint of fear in her voice:
"Ok, I trust you. I will keep a lookout for us. You just have to keep running." She climbed on his back.
'Wow is she my boss now?' he mused.
"We just have to find a car now. We have to get to the farm as fast as possible." he murmured as he ran through the forest.
