Going at a higher speed than he came, Mark quickly reached the same bridge he did his shooting practice yesterday. This time he had to go straight up ahead, across the patch of trees and into the downtown. Noticing only 2 zombies on the bridge, he simply continued without stopping. The zombies couldn't do anything as he passed the bridge and got on the other side.

Rolling down the window as he drove across the woods, he looked outside towards it and felt the strange feeling get stronger this time compared to yesterday. Stopping his vehicle, he kept both his hands on the steering wheel as he continued to look into the woods, trying to figure out what was happening.

"Should I check it out? Why is it giving me such unease?" mumbling to himself.

"I should probably complete my work first and come back here before going to Evergreen city for Kevin."

Taking a deep breath, he started the vehicle again and silently drove. His work came first as he can't guess what will happen if he delays further. Ignoring the feeling, he drove past it and took a right to downtown. His first stop was a wholesale store that came in this route and try to find some necessary things needed.

He continued to observe the roads and the few zombies on the road. He figured there were fewer zombies in daylight, comparatively, so it was safer. He killed a few zombies which came in a horde with the sword he had made it easier than a gun. Shooting while moving took a lot of bullets and he had a small stock with him.

After a complete 1 and a half-hour of driving, he finally saw the wholesale shop in the distance. Speeding up the car a bit, he rolled near the parking lot in front of the shop only to notice they locked it.

Exhaling, he got down from the jeep and made his way to the gate and tried to pull it. The gate did not budge, and Mark noticed the guard post on the other side of the gate. Looking at the gate which was only his height, he climbed over it quickly and jumped to the other side.

He immediately looked around and noticed a few zombies to the distance, which didn't seem to get attracted by what he did. Slowly making his way into the guard post, he felt lucky that there was no zombie inside.

He found the lever used to open the gates and quickly pulled it. The gates slowly opened, but what accommodated it was a loud noise as the metal under the gate continued to scratch the hard ground beneath. This made Mark really worried as he quickly got out and noticed the zombies inside the vast parking lot were making their way towards him. There were almost 30 zombies coming.

Taking out his gun, he shot them down while making his way back towards the car. The gate was completely open by the time he reached the car and he shot down 15 zombies and wasted 5 bullets, using a total of 20 bullets. Noticing the magazine was done, he quickly reached out for his sword from the driver's seat and took it out of its sheath.

Keeping the gun back inside, he ran towards the nearest zombie and sliced its head in one clean swoop. Noticing the next zombie near, he turned around and used the force to bring the sword down on its head as it made its way half through it.

The black blood along with blue brain matter splashed on his dress, making him groan.

"Damn it, now I have to bathe once again." murmuring to himself as a disgusting smell came out, he went towards the next zombie.

He quickly evaded a zombie jumping on him and sliced the one behind him. Turning back, he sliced the head of the one who was getting back. Turning back, he noticed something was running towards him between the remaining 1 zombies and found it to be bitter. Already killing one of it, Mark was used to its speed a bit and evaded it as it jumped before reaching him.

As it was still within the air, Mark sliced its abdomen nearly in half as the sword went half through it. Kicking its body away, he bought the sword out. He continued to kill the zombies coming towards him and faced another bitter in the group.

Slicing the head of the last zombie and exhaled in relief. He sheathed the sword and walked back to the jeep. His shirt had blood all over it but he didn't mind it for now as he got into the jeep and started the car. Making his way into the parking plot, he parked the jeep near the entrance of the store and got out.

He made his way inside, holding the sword towards the entrance. He did not notice a small silhouette looking at him from the 2nd floor of the shop through the window while he fought with the zombies.
