Meeting another group

"But will anyone even come out to open the door?" asked Ethan

"Well they most probably left someone to keep a lookout so as to know about situation outside and that person must have already seen us, let's wait and see how they react if it isn't positive then there are more ways for me to open this door," stated Matt

Matt knew about that because he had already seen a Yellow dot on the map inside the Mall just a few meters away from them other than 4 more Yellow dots that were roaming in the mall.

A man came out of the corner he was hiding and signaled Matt to stop banging on the glass door seeing which Matt stopped and waited for the man's response.

Matt saw the man taking out a walkie talkie and started to talk in it. Seeing that he was asking for instructions Matt turned his head and looked at Ethan and Chloe.

"OK, so the man is talking to his leader after which he will open the door if he knows what's best for him but before that Chloe where this mask," said Matt taking out a face mask from his inventory. Matt didn't even needed to find this face mask as after COVID-19 many shops kept these with them hence he had bought enough for all of them for future use but he was currently giving one to Chloe as he didn't want anyone inside to recognize her and create a problem for them.

Living in the apocalypse had allowed Matt to see the worst side of humans and currently when everything has started to turn into a nightmare those with twisted minds who were wearing a facade will show their true face. Rapes will become norms and with her already beautiful face Chloe could create a disaster and if you add a brand such as Hollywood she would become appealing to even normal and weak-minded people let alone those with twisted personalities.

They waited for 5 minutes when all three of them saw 4 men coming down from the stairs joining the other man who was holding the walkie talkie. Matt had already kept his Black Eagle Kukri in his inventory and was holding the fire axe like Chloe and Ethan.

When the 5 men walked towards Matt and the other were clearly able to see them. The man in the front looked in his mid-thirties ash blond hairs and a cold look on his face, wearing a full sleeve black shirt and combat pants without any dust, they clearly looked new allowing them to know that he just took these clothes from the mall though he wasn't carrying any weapons unlike those around him and only a walkie talkie in his hand with which he was contacted by the guard. Most likely he was the leader of their group.

Then the man on his right was an obese man who looked in his late forties or early fifties, with spectacles half-balled head was also wearing clothes from the mall as the man had forgotten to remove the tag. The man on his left wearing the casual clothes looked young around the same age as Matt was carrying a metal baseball bat with him while the man who was guarding the door looked around the same age as their leader carried an iron rod as thick as a baby's hand, the last man who looked to be in his late 30's wearing a green shirt and casual pant was different from the others as he was carrying a baton with him strapped to his pant with a baton holder.

"What do you people want?" asked the man wearing the full sleeve lack shirt and the supposed leader of the group while looking at the axe in the hands of Matt and his two friends.

"We only want pads and tampons! Seeing that there are no women in your group you won't have any problems from parting away from it right?" Matt asked

The leader stared at Matt then at Ethan and Chloe after which he turned his head and started to talk with his group in low volume.

Since there was a glass in between them Ethan and Chloe weren't able to hear what they were talking about but Matt's senses were enhanced enough that he could neglect the glass door and the distance between him and the other group.

"Mr. Bruce are you going to let them enter the mall?" asked the obese man with spectacles while looking towards the man who just talked with Matt.

"How can I decide that Mr. Harvey aren't you the manager of the mall?" asked the man now identified as Bruce.

"Hehehe.... please don't joke, Mr. Bruce, even Patrick who is a guard of the mall listens to you, so how can I decide anything now when I need your help to protect me" stated the obese man now identified as Harvey.

Bruce turned towards the man carrying the baton with him and asked: "What do you think Patrick?"

"The man named Patrick shrugged his shoulders and said, either way, is fine with me though if possible I would like to exchange my baton with one of their axes as it's not enough to take care of a zombie. I can't kill them with it even after hitting them in their heads, so if I could get my hands on one of their axe's then it would be nice." Patrick said

"I think so as well! All three of them are carrying fire axe's with them which they most likely took from the Royal Hotel that's on the next street and the guy who just talked to me said that I won't need pads and tampons meaning he wants to take all the pads and tampons clearly he has more people in his group and many of them are probable girls!" theorized Bruce.

"Yes! That's right. You are really brilliant Mr. Bruce" said the young man carrying the baseball bat.

"That's natural Joshua after all, Mr. Bruce is a policeman," said the man with the iron rod.

"It's nothing big Chris, anyone can find it out after some thinking" Bruce said.

"So! What do we do with them?' asked the Young man named Joshua.

"Well, here's what I think we should do...
