chapter 47
"Well... what do you want to talk about? "Alan asked.
A few minutes ago they had encountered the fourth group, Angus' group, which was filling Alan's head with more questions than answers.
The three groups of the other groups without counting his group were complete, the body that Michael's group was eating...whose was it?
Although they could have killed one of Berel's members after they separated, it was very difficult because the organs in the containers that filled the room with a repulsive odor had been putrefied for a longer period of time.
"Well...are you going to follow us?...we seem to have found something you might be interested in "Snapped Angus out of his thoughts to Alan.
Everyone's eyes, after Angus' words, were on Alan, who didn't know what to do, although they looked good to Angus' group.
There were no symptoms of insanity or intense hunger...but no one knew how they were living during the time they were separated...
"What do you guys and girls say? He asked his group Alan...he didn't want to make a bad decision, so he asked his group, to know what they thought, it was a decision that had to be made as a group since he had already screwed up once and he didn't want to do it again.
"On my side there is no problem "Replied the first one, who was Richard.
"Well...there's no choice, after all it's better than the two near-suicidal options "Paul.
The last one to choose was madison, who had an annoying face, she didn't want to go with that group...it wasn't that she didn't trust people, it was that everything in that damn mansion was dangerous and she had to be alert at every moment and the cannibalistic acts she was told that another of the groups that entered the mansion did...it didn't help her distrust of the people in the mansion.
"Well...what's the difference...I'm not going to stay alone in this place, while you guys go with that Angus guy's group "replied madison after sighing.
Angus, seeing that everyone was about to follow him, went ahead of everyone down the hallway, shining the flashlight on his gun.
The thoughts of Alan's group were mixed as the guns became tense in the hands of all the members of Alan's group.
The corridors they were passing through had already been investigated by Richard and Alan and they knew there was nothing there, so they had their doubts about what the new Angus' group could show them.
The surprise came, with the bookshelf in the hallway, which had no books on it since they were all voted on the floor.
Angus walked over to the bookcase and pushed it...it seemed heavy when a big sound was made as the shelf was dragged.
Once the shelf was pushed...you could see the wooden door which was apparently open.
Alan, who followed Angus in front of his group, saw everything and was surprised... it was an altar where there were three pictures, a goat, a lion, and a snake.
Pictures of the three animals were adorning the center of the room, with several torches, apparently, there was nothing else but the altar.
Alan separated from the group, approached the images when he saw three particular coin-shaped holes.
"Apparently something had to be entered in those places... "Angus who was standing behind an Alan, lost in thought commented.
Alan, who heard Angus' voice, snapped out of his thoughts as he tried to continue looking for any further clues as to what the ritual was for.
But there was nothing, the only particular thing in the room was the pictures of animals on the altar.
"Well apparently we won't be able to do anything, until we find whatever it is that has to be able in the coin-shaped holes "Alan spoke, as he approached his group, who were already outside.
The members of Alan's group came out behind Alan when Alan came out.
"Well apparently there was nothing relevant other than, now we have something else to do than survive "Alan.
"Now what do we do? "Madison.
"For now we'd better split up again, the moment someone finds an object that they think might fit on that altar, they can put it back, apparently it's some kind of mechanism for something. "Paul.
"Do you think it's a way out of the mansion? Richard asked as the atmosphere became tenser.
"Well we'll split up...if anyone finds anything they can leave a note for when the other group comes back and reads it "Angus.
"Well...then let's go guys and...girl "Paul spoke as he corrected himself for saying just guys, after seeing the menacing look on Madison's face who upon hearing that she was taken into account gave Paul a smile.
That's how Alan and Angus' group split up, every now and then Paul could be seen pouting as he walked away from the other group.
Alan noticed this and only began to face him after they were far enough apart.
"What's wrong with you buddy? ....You seem a little upset since we got together with Angus "Alan's group.
"It's because of that Angus...if I tell the truth I never shut up well "Paul.
"Why...I always saw that you hated him so much, but I don't know why that really happens...some quarrel happened between the two of you. "Alan.
"Well...the truth is I don't know why I never liked Angus, I feel like I shouldn't trust him and my sense never fails or else I would have died before I entered umbrella, at which point I ignored my sense completely and now I don't plan to do it again...so I'm sorry if it grates on you Angus but I don't think you'll see me being friends with him "replied Paul.
"That sounds a bit paranoid...but I really trust you more than Angus...so I'll believe your hunch and keep an eye on Angus, because even though I like him I always had my doubts as to why Kara always looked depressed and sad. "Alan.
"Hey you guys stop chatting....we need to be on alert in case we find that screaming zombie "madison spoke pulling Alan and Paul out of their conversation, who turned at the sound of the voice of the only girl in their group.
The haci group began their walk through the corridors, they knew the most dangerous places they couldn't go, so they ignored the dining room and the warehouses which were luckily closed, or else everything would be filled with crimson heads and they would end up dead for sure.
"I'm glad this warehouse is closed... "They gave a big sigh Alan and Richard as they saw how the warehouse where their weapons were located was closed, they were saved by technology and they were very lucky.
"How many do you think are inside the warehouse? "Madison asked as he wanted to assess whether it was feasible to enter to retrieve the weapons.
"Well to the eye, when we escaped...I saw something about 30 zombies that came to eat me, so I think there will be more than 30," Alan.
"Well from what I believe...seeing as the zombies are locked up and without any food, most likely the virus inside the zombies' bodies is putting them into a momentary suspension. "madison.
"Doing that someone can come in and take the guns and leave in total silence. "Madison.
