chapter 46

The rest of the group went normally.

Paul was somewhat hurt, he was better than before but they could not go touring the mansion, knowing that if they had to escape, they might die, knowing that they would possibly not abandon Paul.

Now that they had food and water, the group was calmer, they would not need to search for food for a while.

The problem was that they could not stay in the infirmary.

The reason was that if they stayed and came across one of the survivors who was euphorically looking for food, it would possibly end up in a fight that would start because of the anxiety of the other person who does nothing but look for food like a beast.

If it were up to them, they would be giving food to the other groups right now, but both Alan and Paul, who heard about the cannibalistic acts of one of the groups, refused because they did not know the mental state of the others.

[Xxx time later]

The group didn't know how much time had passed since they had been waiting for Paul to fully heal from the blood loss and a few other injuries he had.

The time that was believed to have passed was three days, Alan deciphered it after studying the moments in which each one was hungry, the times they all ate are 10 times in a period of time a little long, which suggested that it had been between 3 to 4 days.

Over the course of the days, Alan and Richard learned some new things, Alan more than Richard.

Plants apparently could suppress the virus, at least the less potent infections of zombies that have not yet mutated.

To find out the suppressing effect of the green plant, Alan decided to use some of the zombies' blood, with one of the leaves he pulled off the green plant that Madison had, Madison was angry at first but was able to calm down.

The T-virus which was the name of the virus they were working with at the mansion could apparently be suppressed, as long as it was shortly after a person was bitten, information that greatly calmed the people in the group, after all, no one wanted to be a zombie.

(N/A: according to the games it is not known why the characters do not turn when they are bitten, in the novels I do not know because I could not read them because I was sick and I stayed when Rebecca just met Billy Coen so I do not know yet, so I put this countermeasure for viruses at least for normal zombies and for the evolved ones it will be the cure).

"Well, it's time to go...I hope everyone has what they need and that the food they take is also necessary without interfering with their movements as the amount of crimson head has increased and I apologize to Richard for causing it. Alan said as he turned to all those behind him packing to leave the infirmary, as they could not spend their whole lives there.

The only one who had a submachine gun was Paul, so for the moment, he was the one in front, not because they were cowards, but because Paul with his submachine gun could take out many more zombies than all of them.

They managed to make a silencer for the guns with the bottles they had, it was momentary so they did not take much time to make them.

The flashlights were everyone's blessings, as they could see everything as clearly as possible, and to everyone's good fortune they could be charged since everyone had a flashlight.

The corridors, now lit with various lights coming from all around the group, now didn't seem anxious at all, while it wasn't a walk in the park it was less anxious than walking at near blindfolds not knowing at what point you might die from carelessness.

"Well..... where are we headed now? "Madison.

"Well...me and Richard think there are no more places to look for an exit, so to see if you can't help...we want to go after the screaming zombie, as she has a key around her neck that may be to an exit or a different section of the mansion...which is still better than going back and forth. Although we don't know there may be other places we haven't looked, since we haven't met the rest of the "Alan" group yet.

"another option...at the moment I think we can't go after that zombie...the previous time we almost died and we were better armed "said Paul who still remembered the previous time his life passed through his eyes, which was not a nice experience.

"That time we got overconfident. But if you want we can try to find a fuse to turn on the electrical room, which Richard said he found, although we will surely die fighting with the zombie backwards...since as Richard told me there was one of them nearby "Alan.

"Well I want to live thank you and they are called lickers bobo... "Emphasized the word madison who intervened in the conversation.

"Although...I want you to tell me what it was like mainly the traits, behaviors and abilities of that peculiar screaming zombie they said "Madison.

"Well according to what I could observe, apparently other zombies protect her and she has a loud scream that can affect more than 3 meters around leaving paralyzed whoever is in her range, possibly her limit is 5 meters around and her temperament is that she is always going to run away from you after paralyzing you, Maybe it has to do with her subconscious that made her trauma when she was raped made her evolve into a different kind of zombie, something that was used for the sick person who made all these traps in case the whole lab goes into chaos," said Alan, which made Madison grimace.

"Well it looks like we only have to go for the screaming zombie... "Sighed Paul who knew it was the most feasible thing to do since it was impossible to go for the licker since they had no shotgun.

They were passing through the corridors until they heard footsteps, they were people but that did not prevent them from being very alert.

Each one stopped and raised their respective weapons, that's when three silhouettes began to appear.

The first to recognize the first silhouette was Alan, after all the person was no one else but Sara's father...Angus.

Alan let his guard down since he knew him and they looked very good, so it was possible that they were not euphoric about looking for food.

"We meet again Angus, I hope you had a good time in this hellhole "Alan said, as he pointed his flashlight at Angus.

"Better than you not for sure... "Angus said before pointing his gun at Alan which was where his flashlight was.

Contrary to the whole group, who lowered their weapons, Madison was the only one who didn't. She kept pointing her gun at Angus, which caused the two men accompanying Angus to point their guns at everyone.

The atmosphere was tense until Paul lowered Madison's gun with his hand.
