chapter 44

Explosion

The sound of a bullet echoed through the door of the infirmary and down the hallway.

Madison's trembling hands dropped the gun, when he thought he had shot a person, the blood that he thought had disappeared from his hand, reappeared.

Madison's breathing became heavier, the more she remembered what she had done.

"Calm down madison....mira you didn't do anything to him it's okay!"

Paul's voice roused Madison from his dazed moment.

"I'm sorry... "whispered Madison in an almost inaudible whisper, which everyone barely managed to hear.

"Don't worry....it's normal to be nervous being here...I wouldn't blame you if you had shot me...possibly if I were in your place I would have done the same...worse for the next one don't be trigger-happy, you had scared me."

Richard tried to reassure the girl who now knew her name was Madison, thanks to Paul.

[Moments before]

"The door to the infirmary is jammed, it'll take me a while to clear everything out! " said madison, as he tried to get everything out of the door.

The things clogging the door to the nurses' station, seemed odd.

The arrangement of things, so that no one could enter through the main door, which was the only one through which one could enter the infirmary, was done by someone.

Madison was taking things out of the door when the only things missing were several shelves that were heavy.

* Groaning

The hairs on madison's body stood on end, as her skin went goosebumps, a sound she already remembered very well was heard behind madison.

Anxiety was getting the better of her, when poor visibility played a big part in her fear, not knowing where the zombie was.

She heard the footsteps of something when she turned around and was knocked to the ground, as the zombie tried to bite her, she was so scared that she couldn't help but scream for help.

"Paul help me!"

"Please somebody!"

*Gemido

The sounds of the zombie grew louder as, the struggling seemed to lose him more and more madison, who what seemed to be his last moments of life.

"This is how I'm going to die...I ...really deserve it. To die for my own creations" Madison.

"Madison! " Paul shouted as he forgot he couldn't scream, but he had fired before and no zombie had appeared.

"What do I do? " Paul asked himself the question when he could find no other place with which to access the infirmary, other than the window that Madison had just broken and through which he entered.

The glass was protruding from several sides when Paul decided to go in and worry later. He took the momentum from afar as he made two leaps, one to climb onto the table and the other to jump off the table.

Blood began to flow from Paul's hands and torso, as his hands touched shards of glass and his torso was impaled by a protruding shard of glass, the torso wound was nothing alarming, so he didn't even notice it, as he jumped up and began to listen to Madison's murmuring.

There he found her, apparently, the zombie was about to bite her neck, she was already resigned, Paul went running and kicked the head of the zombie he had identified next to Madison.

The zombie's head went backward as the blow didn't seem to have done much to the zombie.

"Madison to the side "She heard Paul madison's voice, when she was almost resigned, she didn't know what it was, but when she heard Paul's voice, her body reacted and listened to him to go to the side.

Paul grabbed a chair, as he began to smash the zombie's head, over and over again, he felt the zombie's blood staining him, but he didn't stop until he was stopped by Madison.

"Calm down Paul" madison tried to reassure Paul, as he began to feel blood coming out of Paul's torso.

The blood was from the zombie...that was felt very well by Madison when with the low luminosity of the emergency lights, she took Paul to a luminous place to see that the blood was coming out of a wound on his torso.

The tense moment passed and two great sighs were heard, as Madison and Paul dropped to the ground, while ignoring the zombie's body next to them.

For the zombie to transform into a crimson head.

Madison seeing Paul, losing blood, began to remove all the things blocking the door, she needed some more light so she could look for the switch for the emergency lights in the infirmary.

Madison's weak arms could barely move the heavy cabinets, but she didn't give up and kept going.

His arms ached once he finished clearing the entire door and Madison quickly went to open the door, to see the switch.

The light from the corridors entered the infirmary through the door and Madison found the electrical box and without waiting activated the emergency lights manually.

The lights began to illuminate the infirmary, as the body of the zombie with the crushed head came into view, which was slowly beginning to regain its former shape, the regenerative factor of the zombie was to be feared.

The first thing was to take the zombie outside to burn it, so once he sprayed it with a bottle of alcohol he found, he set it on fire.

The zombie could be seen burning, as it began to move erratically, trying to avoid its impending fate, but the fire was destroying the cells, which prevented the zombie from regenerating and beginning to mutate.

"That's it Paul...since I'm a zombie" Madison went into the infirmary, when he found Paul's body, sitting there looking a little pale as the plant they had eaten began to wear off.

Madison was also starting to get sleepy when she began to want to faint, but she mustered all her strength and opened the storage room, which had a separate power source, which left what was inside in good condition.

The first thing he did was to look for blood that was compatible with Paul.

"Paul what blood type are you? "Madison asked once he remembered that he didn't know what blood type Paul was.

"B positive "Barely replied Paul, who was already beginning to look paler as the effect was beginning to wear off and the blood he was losing was showing.

"B positive .... "Madison said to herself, as she searched for the blood in the warehouse, every moment she was losing hope when she searched and couldn't find it, but to her luck, it was in another section of the warehouse.

Once Madison found the blood, she set out to transfuse it, before leaving to get some food.

Paul could not be hurt, so he went to get food for her, as she needed a lot of it to get some strength, the residual effects of the plant would make the food begin to mitigate the malnutrition her body is suffering from.

The storerooms were two, one for everything medical and the other for the food to be given to the patient.

The food for the luck of those that were preserved, so that everything was in perfect condition, they had for a long time.
