CHAPTER 5
* Sky Forest Leywin POV*
One week went by. We became stronger, well they became stronger. Mabilis silang matuto ng
fighting styles, and with Shaine's training they're able to do basic fighting now. And we're going
out.
Lumalabas na kami since three days after the apocalypes pero this time it's different,
aalis na kami sa kwartong toh' no more like sa hotel na toh'. Shaine said na kailangan namin
ng pumunta sa ibang lugar para maghanap ng pagkain.
Pupunta muna kami sa storage room
para kunin yung mga kailangan bago kami umalis and she said na the more supplies the better.
Especially at a time like this. Matalino siya and super resourceful, and with her knowledge
parang napagdaanan niya na itong apocalypes.
I just shaked my head ang weird ko na ring mag
isip. Maybe dahil toh sa kanila? I looked at the backs of what I can call friends, ang weird right?
We just met for a week pero I'm more comfortable of calling them friend than those people who
grew up with me. Maybe its because those guys are just my friends when I had money.
Money is
pretty conventional and masasabi mo ring marami, no halos lahat ng tao ay nabubuhay lang para
sa pera. Pero that one week na nakasama ko sila?
They dont even care about my parent's past.
They dont talk about things concerning family, maybe dahil na rin sa akward sila tungkol dun
pero Im thankful. The time I spent with them napansin kong sobrang thoughtful nila sa feelings
ko. Its more comfortable to be with them than when I'm with my parents.

Ulysses Shaine Verrere POV
"Stay alert. First time nating pupunta sa first floor and dun pinakamaraming zombies Kaya
kailangan nating mag ingat kayo! We'll split into groups this time para hindi tayo madaling
mapansin. Ang goal natin ay ang storage room at ang hagdan papuntang basement. Don't fight
unless needed. Okay?!" I asked habang hawak ang handle ng fire exit ng first floor ng hotel.
"We'll meet back here after two hours, pag may nakita kayong survivors let them stay there and
report back, para makapag plano tayo paano natin sila ililigtas, remember na safety first! Walang
mamatay sa inyo ha!" I said emotionally.
Isang ngiti lang ang ibinigay sa akin ng mga kaibigan
ko pero di napigilan ni Aireen na mag comment.
"Ang OA niyo naman! Parang sinasabi niyong
hindi na tayo makakabalik eh!" Nagtatampong sabi niya, kaya napatawa lang kami. It has been a
week. Madali lang silang nasanay sa pakikipag laban kaya naisip kong mag punta sa step 2.
Ang
pumunta sa ibang lugar. Mas maganda kung isang village para maliit lang ang population. Mas
better yun kaysa pumunta kami sa city. That's suicide. Mataas ang infection rate ng virus kaya
much better ang mga abandoned places kaysa sa downtown.
One of the reasons kung bakit
ayaw kong mag stay dito. Sikat tong hotel na toh so expect na maraming mga guests dito. Buti
nalang branch lang toh at kakabukas lang, kaya konti palang ang kayang ipasok na guest.
"Yes!"
Sagot ng mga kaibigan ko. And like that we went into four different ways para mas Madali and
we moved in to two each group. Nakipag group ako kay Sky, I know na hindi makakampante
ang mga kaibigan ko if they're with him since he's a stranger pero that's not the case with me.
This will be the best time para ma bantayan ko siya and to test his battle strength and to know
who to partner him with. I figured na I pag partner kami para mas making madali ang paggalaw
namin in dire situations.
Tahimik lang kaming naglalakad, he was looking at the corridors while
I was looking for the floor plan or a map or something, para mas dumali ang paghahanap
namin.
On the way ang daming makikitang zombies and pinapatay namin yon isa isa, so that
mas madalian kami when we go back here just in case.
We walked fast but quietly, magandang
kasama si Sky, he can read my eyes kaya pag nagsabi ako sa kanya di ko na kailangan magsalita
titignan ko nalang siya and he'll know what to do.
Habang naglalakad I always look outside
the window, there are countless zombies out there, roughly a thousand kaya mas mahihirapan
kaming makipag laban sa kanila, pero oddly may isang car malapit sa parang factory na
nadadaganan ng electric post ang may maraming bangkay ng zombies, they looked toasted
pero patuloy lang ang pag lapit ng iba pa doon, why is that?
Mukhang napansin din ni Sky yung
tingin ko kaya sinundan niya rin ito ng tingin. He looked weird dahil napatigil siya sa paglalakad kaya nagtataka akong tumingin sa kanya. Napansin niya yata yung tingin ko dahil tinuro niya yung
factory tapos lumapit sa akin at bumulong.
"That's the storage room, pero mukhang mqhihirapan
tayong pumasok because of that car." He whispered and nag liwanag ang mga mata ko.
I didn't
expect na yun pala yung hinahanap namin kanina pa. I smiled at him. And signaled na pupunta
kami duon. Naintindihan niya naman at tumango lang siya.
We went near the storage and swerte
dahil connected yung door nito sa kitchen kung nasaan kami and nakasarado yung gates para
hindi makalabas yung lamig.
That means na konti or wala talagang zombies doon or pwede
rin namang pinagtataguan na iyon ng mga survivors. Pero that doesn't mean na hindi kami nag
ingat, we looked through everywhere and we closed the kitchen door para wala kaming maging
problema.
Then tsaka lang kami napanatag at lumapit sa pinto. Sky just silently opened the door
para hindi kami maka attract ng attention and pagbukas ng pinto ay may lumabas na bata?
He's
not zombified pero may frost bites siya sa buong katawan, halatang matagal na siya sa loob ng
storage room. Tinignan niya kami ng masama habang may hawak na knife, lalapitan sana siya ni
Sky pero I stopped him.
Mukhang nagtataka siya sa ginawa ko pero tumigil pa rin siya. I looked
at the child, he seems to be eight to nine years old and he has a fierce look in his eyes, parang
sasaksakin niya talaga kami, but I know better kaya pinigilan ko si Sky.
It seems like he suffered greatly Kasi Kita mo Yung distrust sa mata Niya and Wala na Yung light na makikita mo sa mga ordinaryong bata. His eyes were dull and lifeless, as if he only wants to survive and not live
