34. They are changing

Her nervousness disappeared when she saw Oliver coming in after a long time. He just nodded and gave her a sign to follow him to the safe room. Saferoom was nothing else than an office with soundproof glass.

She sat down and poured some water in a glass while he took another glass and poured water as well. They stared ta each other for a while until he just sat down while holding his head in pain.

''What the hell happened?'' She was furious.

''I was on my way to the first floor when suddenly I saw some person sneaking around computers and doing something strange to them. When I went to check someone hit me from behind and I was knocked out. It seems someone was not targeting computers as they were ok, I was the target. When they found me I was about to enter incarnation as I was bound up like a sausage.''

He shook a bit when he thought about the situation. They put that damn thing to burn all the excess of plastic and such and used it to gain energy. Of course, they started using it after the zombie tide passed by. Oliver won't eat sausages for a while as it seems.

He could literally still hear the sound of incarnation nearing his head.

Emma was flabbergasted. ''Who would do that? Are there any enemies of you or maybe your brothers in here?''

Oliver shook his head. ''We don't know. We are checking who had entry to those places and realized that you have a problem with dead corners. So we will from now on plant many new cameras so no one could do such stupid thing again.''

Emma shook while thinking about it. ''From one side your bother is fighting to stay alive and from another side, you almost died in my care. You two Santini brothers will be my death. I will die of anxiety, you know?''

Oliver jumped. ''You found him?''

Emma started massaging her temples. ''He almost got caught in mid of zombie tide. Now he is flying for a while with a helicopter and then he will drive by bus with those people. By the way, some of them went to nearby towns to enter the shelter. Let's hope they survive.'' She hoped that as many humans as possible survive so they could add to fighting power against zombies.

Oliver came to her and looked at her worried face. ''There is more, isn't it?''

She nodded. ''I have a feeling that some of the zombies changed. But how they changed we will know in a while.'' She looked over and over again on her pad the zombie tide and was sure about the change in zombies, but as it seems it's not finished. Should she shoot at them to stop them changing, but what if she speeds up the process?

She went back to her seat and stared stiffly at the screens. Mario actually already started scavenging the fuel from the gas station even before they even arrived. The place was safe so all the children started running to get what they could. The older ones took the trolleys and rushed inside gathering as the whole bunch while some smaller children went behind the building to do their business quickly.

The bus was not standing long but longer than last time. This time they choose to fill their tanks all the way to the brim and take as much gasoline as they could.

Jason even made simple contraption for filling trough the window in case they needed more gasoline. Others saw the same and made the same way. No time to waste anyway.

On the end, Jason remembered a few more things. He went into the store again and entered the back door where he was greeted with one zombie that he just killed with an ice pick. He took keys and entered the storeroom behind.

Inside was something he knew no one would know. A whole bunch of weapons, food and drinks. They could hear the zombie from outside but that door was closed from inside. It seems he turned into a zombie from the airborne virus after he locked himself inside. Or was bitten by an insect.

No matter what. He took two trolleys and started stuffing the weapons and bullets inside until both were full. When bus driver saw him coming out with those things he rushed over to take over the things while Jason rushed back to take as much food and drinks in the boxes as he could.

On the end, he got what he actually wanted. Under everything stood a few boxes filled with explosives and he got a huge smile on his face.

He pushed the trolleys with the most important treasure while others went in to get as much food as they could as well.

Nothing is to be wasted.

From now on, there will be almost 12 hrs hell drive and maybe even more if they don't get enough helicopters. The bus driver saw his expression and nodded. Yes, this man is something she really needed.

They just looked at each other as Jason sat down on the driver seat and started driving when he saw everyone else in cars. Everything actually lasted only 10 minutes, but those ten minutes were a lot as the zombie tide suddenly stopped.

''Warning, warning. The tide is changing. Warning.'' Emma felt her whole body getting cold. She knew something bad will happen.

The zombie tide really started changing but in most gruesome manner. They started eating each other. Those that ate and those that were eaten were attacking each other in a faster and faster manner.

Everyone stopped on the streets and fields looking at strange things happening. Those that ate enough zombies just stepped aside and acted strangely like puppets. Their bodies pulsed and slowly only about few tens of thousands of those pulsing zombies were left standing there.

All others were gone, eaten by those things. Emma's hands became wet again. she could literally feel their pulsing. Wait she could feel it. she looked at Oliver and others but they didn't change their expression but Aisa stared at her with big eyes. It seems she felt it as well.

they need to talk but now there is no time. ''Connect me to all radios that you can, in the whole world Now!''

Suddenly murmurs hit her from all sides. ''Quiet! I have important news to announce. My name is Emma Thompson and I am in this moment looking at something that will or kill those zombies or kill us. We just had zombie tide here and suddenly those zombies almost inhaled other ones. Now they are standing here and pulsing like some tick tack bomb. I just hope nothing bad will come out of them. I will keep you all informed, please relate the information further to those that I coudlnt reach. Stay alive...''

The connection went out and everyone who knew her believed her this time. Before she was called a crazy woman but now they knew her words were the truth.

Emma started pacing up and down making everyone and herself dizzy.

''At least they can get a bit further away from them right?'' She knew that if the zombie tide was fast, so these things...
