Viking's Way - Part 3

***

Later this day, the group of five survivors, stops in front of a blockage at the Uppsala town. The people are leaving the car, and they are taking a look at the immense blockage with consist into roadblock, a few cars, corpses of zombies, alive zombies, and a helicopter at about sixty meters, that crashed there. Sigurd looks around him, and he sees another way to get into the city, a path that leads to the city.

"We are going on foot there." says Sigurd pointing at the path.

"You sure it is a good idea?" asks Ebba.

"It is our choice." replies Sigurd. "Take everything, and we will move over there."

The group of survivors is taking their supplies from the car they took it earlier. Then, Artur looks at the barricade, and he curses at the person who put it there.

Soon, the group of survivors continues to move forward until they get to the city of Uppsala, which is at approximately one kilometre from the place they have left the car behind. Sigurd is leading the back, while Roy and Arthur are behind. Ebba and Edla are behind the boys. They are precautions as they walk on this path because you never know when a zombie would ever jump from a tree and pin down a human.

A few moments later, the group of survivors arrived at the street of the Uppsala city, but as they looked at on the streets, they see there something they never expected to see it in their lives.

In front of them, there is a group of two people dressed as Vikings, all of them slashing countless zombies with big axes, big swords, pinning them down with their shields, and one of them, he just took a crossbow, pulled the trigger, and in this process, he penetrates the skull of the two zombies. Making their heads fly and hit with the arrow a tree, where the heads of those decapitated zombies remained stuck there.

"Sister Charlotta!" says the man dressed as a Viking after he took down two zombies by only one shoot. "I just killed two zombies by one shot."

"Awesome!" says sister Charlotta after she cuts the zombie torso horizontally. "Your aim is getting better."

The Vikings continued to kill the zombies, not knowing the gang of five people are witnessing them doing a big massacre. They never expected to encounter people like them, fighting against the deads, and dressed as Vikings. The team is feeling confused if they are or not a threat, but they will soon find out, after the female Vikings, who just took a zombie with detached mouth (she detached it by cutting the mouth), she took the decomposed corpse, break it in half with bare hands, and sees the people who are hiding under a damaged car.

"Charly!" says the Viking woman tossing the corpse into an Undead, who instantly forgets the Vikings and eats one side of the decomposed zombie corpse. She looks at them like a warrior. "We found survivors of the plague!"

"Plague?" asks Roy to Sigurd, but he did not speak.

"Really?" says Charly after he killed the last zombie from this area by just smashing his hammer onto the head.

He goes close to Charlotta, who walks to the group of five survivors, who just stay there, unable to say a word. All of them are speechless by their brute force, their armour, the scars and their physical appearance which would even intimidate a beginner an intermediate at body building or an average gypsy from Romania village who took a lot of steroids in order to inherit the house and a girl from the street.

"Are you not infected with the plague of God of Death?" asks Charly at the survivors.

"N-No. We are not." responds Artur to the Vikings, thinking they are meaning the plague by this virus.

"You have got the death bites?" asks Charlotta.

"No. We are not bitten." says Sigurd to the two Vikings who are losing their grip on their weapons.

The Vikings turns around and walks.

"Come with us. We have to rest." says Charly as he walks with the female Viking to a building.

The five survivors, are following them. And Sigurd with Roy, having their fire weapons prepared in case these people are going to kidnap them, or send to a cannibal tribe, or use them as a sacrifice, or something like that.

***

The group of five survivors plus two Vikings, are getting into a building, which was once an office, but now it is a ruined architectural structure. The survivors are looking around the building, they walk on the hallway, and the things they see are the same, corpses of zombies and disaster. The Vikings are stopping in front of a door, and the male Viking is opening the door, then he looks at the survivors and told them.

"Come. It is safe from the Death souls."

"O-Okay." responds Sigurd being the first to enter the room, then, the other four survivors are following him, one by one.

After the survivors got in the room, the Vikings are coming as well in the room.

As they entered the room, survivors notice another door, an opened one, and it shows stairs which are leading much down. Sigurd decided to ask him the question.

"Where are you taking us?"

"To our leader, King Thorfin." responds the female Viking taking the lead and the Male one following him.

Survivors, not having any choice, they decide to follow them. Sigurd is taking the lead, while the other are behind him, some scared by this, other not showing a single fear.

They descend the stairs for a while now. As they continued to walk much more down, they encounter some creepy things on the walls, as well as the ceiling. At the wall, the survivors see a head of a zombie that is still groaning and screaming. Edla was about to fall, but she catches her sister in the shoulder.

"Be calm, sister. They will not do anything to us." says Ebba to Edla. "Okay?"

"Okay." responds Edla feeling a little better after that zombie head scared her.

The survivors and Vikings are walking down the stairs, until they got at a massive steel door. As the Vikings got close to that door, they do knock on the door, they looked at it, wait for a few more seconds, then someone opens the door. It is another man that is dressed as a Viking. A huge man, with long brown hair, Viking helmet, bear fur as clothes and with a smell that would make even homeless people put their hands at the nose, but considering today's world situation is acceptable.

"What is it Charly and Charlotte? And who are those people?" asks the Viking looking at the six survivors.

"These are people we have seen on the streets." says Charlotta. "They are immune to those dead souls."

"Are you sure?" asks the Viking.

"We are not bitten." says Artur to those Vikings, but they ignore him.

"…Mhm… Okay. What do you two want?"

"We want to keep here." says Charly.

"Not possible." says Sigurd to the Vikings, who is making them feel surprised. "We are trying to go to the nearest evacuation point possible."

"Evacuation point?" asks the Viking at the metal door. "What is this Evacuation you call it?"

"It is a point where the… um… Some other people are going to take us." says Sigurd remembering these people are not thinking like him, and they think this is still the old time when Vikings were on the power on these Scandinavian lands, and not zombies.

"What people?" asks Charlotte.

"Um… They are. Rich... And-"

"You six are slaves?" asks the Viking. "In this case, all I can do for you is to go to your location." he looks at Charly and Charlotte. "You two should escort them out of this city. understand?"

"But-" tries to say Charly.

"No." says the Viking and closes the door.

The Male Viking turns around to the survivors, and he looks at them, a bit irritated. He was about to take his sword, but Charlotta stops him. She takes a look at the survivors.

"Why didn't you six mentioned you are slaves? We could've helped you get to your destination."

"Really?" asks Ebba to the Vikings. "That would mean so much to us."

"But with a cost." says Charlotte.

This sentence made the survivor feel a bit shocked. Now they have to find a way to repay them if they are escorting them to an evacuation point, not far from Uppsala.

"W-What do you want?" asks Sigurd.

"Just one thing." says Charlotta. "We want to see that Evacuation point you have mentioned earlier."

"Just that?" asks Sigurd feeling relieved.

"Yes. We want se with our own eyes the place that we have heard the rumours it contains incompressible power which will perish every single dead creature on his way. We want to get that power to make the sick people around us feel better."

"I-It can be arranged." says Sigurd.

Charlotta only bows her head a little, then the survivors and the two Viking are going back to the surface, where they will be resuming their running to the evacuation point. Only Sigurd and Ebba know it's location.
