"This place gives me the creeps" pik yee said...

"yah..me too"

"me too..!!"

"There's nothing here, how bout we gather and discuss our next step??" I asked

I could see that everybody was getting nervous. it 8pm now, darkness all around us..

"Okay, what now..? anybody brought food and water in their luggage?? its getting pretty dark so i think we should just stay by the car and wait till tomorow. than will go home... how bout that? " I was trying to sound optimist. i don't think i succeeded though. Everybody was so quiet.

"okay, how about another plan than?"

"No, i think i'll stick with jacq's"

"Thanks keong.. so...?? anybody else??"

"I think we should walk around, c'mon, how often do u get to spend a night in an abandon town, This could be fun!!" suggested kam tze, being the adventurous 1.

"yeah, c'mon, don't be such a wussy!!" yang shan sounded really excited now.

1 by 1 everybody stared agreeing with the have-a-look-around plan. So i tag along, i definitely don't wan to stay by the car alone.

There were no street lamp, the only light provided to us was the little rays of moon light the clouds had allowed to peek through.Nobody really talked. Too afraid to talk. i cold feel myself shivering, only half from the cold wind. Most of the shop were empty, empty shelf,empty rack.I wonder what happen to the town, why would people just leave, i was trying so hard to not let Desmond's theory affect me. Sometimes i thought i felt eyes looking at me through the windows of the shop only to look and see nothing.

"hey, i smell smoke... do you...??" asked loong ko.

i stared sniffing the air and it definitely did have the smell of smoke.

"Maybe its somebody else!! maybe there's some other ppl here...!! let's try finding them.." suggested Yee Luenn.

It didn't take long for us to find them. their pillar of smoke wasn't hard to spot. 3 guys were camping around the fire. 2 of them look to be around their mid-40 and the other look very young, probably our age. The 1st things that caught our eyes were their weapons, stack up in a pile. why do they need so much weapon for.....??? the young guy spotted us 1st.

"Whose's there....!!?!" he shouted picking up his shotgun. Alerting his other 2 companion.

"Hey hey, don't shoot, i think their not infected" said 1 of the older guy to his companion and than to us "who are you ppl, why are you here??"

"We got lost...." somebody answered. i wasn't paying much attention to what was happening.

Something else caught my attention. Something was crawling out from 1 of the alley behind them. I couldn't see what it was, too far, too dark... instinctively i grab the person closest to me and shouted. All of a sudden, 3 of the stranger grap up their weapons and started shooting....!! I could hear growls and shriek....screams from behind me. what was happening...?? what are they shooting...?? As fast as it all happen, it ended, those strangers stop shooting, and the growling stopped.. the strangers beckon towards us. Picking up weapons from the pile and shafted it to us.

"Quick..!! Its starting..! no time to lose...!!" shouted 1 of them.

In no time, most of us was already stuffing bullets in our pockets, bags, any available space, some were taking brief lesson for them on how to use the weapons. we were all confuse but we somehow knew we must be ready for something.

"There's a chopper on top of that roof..!!" pointing towards an old 15stories high building...!! we've got to make it there...!! or will die here, eaten alive by those bastard zombies...!!"

"Zombies....??? what.....?? is this for real....?? i asked.

"No time for explaining, we've got to get moving!!"
