GROUPS

Ai walked carefully around the streets. A lot more people started to go out and kill zombies. Some are just running to safety. Ai decided to go to one of the small stores.

Looking outside, Ai decided to observe. They might already be people plundering places. She can't afford to meet someone who will take her resources.

Noticing no movement inside but a few zombies, Ai decides to go in. She slowly approached, killing the zombies in the process. Seeing that it was not a large group, she discreetly killed them. Attacking them one by one and looking for the crystal cores.

Finally in! Oooh! So MUCH STUFF! She giggled to herself. Satisfied with herself, Ai killed all the remaining zombies. It did cause some ruckus as plenty of stuff was on the floor and scattered because of the initial outbreak. It was noisy, fighting inside.

I peered into the staff room and wondered if she should also kill and take the crystal cores there. She approached the stagnant zombie plunged the box cutter into his skull and clumsily also used it to fish for the crystal core. 

Ai turned her head, hearing whimpers inside the staff room. People? She reached the door and knocked. "Hello? Is anyone there?" she asked. 

With a burst, the door opened revealing a group of people. Ai flinched and turned her head away at the smell.

"THANK YOU OH THANK YOU!" exclaimed a stout woman as she hugged her.

Awkwardly Ai struggled to get free while also trying to shut the woman up. The group of people rejoiced and hugged and cried with each other. 

"Are you part of the police? We have been calling since yesterday and well your lines were busy and then the signal was gone and ----"

"SHHH! SHUT UP!" I hissed putting my blood-soaked hand on her mouth. I can hear it, the zombies outside gathering. She let out a scream at the sight and smell of my hands while the others held their mouths with small shreiks.

"I'm not your savior nor the police. It's a zombie apocalypse out there..." I said softly placing the woman on the ground.

A young man in his teens crawled and whispered "ZOMBIES ARE MYTHS! There must be an explanation on why..."

"That might be the case but I believe in what my eyes see..." I replied getting ready to fight. I closed the door and took a bat that was for sale. There were 12 zombies attracted by the sounds.

Taking off her bag, Ai got ready to fight. She ran to the zombies and swung for the head.
