Chapter 23 - 23. Situation

The zombies have unzipped the steel wheel door.

All people are hiding in big rooms. They are trying to come in but some citizens showed their guts. They tried to push them backwards with plank, steel rod, chair or whatever they found.

Henry and Mary just reached there. They were breathing deeply.

" What now? We need to do something. "

Henry is thinking about a plan but scattered in pieces.

" Take this. I will go there. "

Mary hands Henry a crossbow.

" Huh? There are just few arrows.... "

" No problem. When you want to save, it will be no matter to what I have to gone through."

Mary separates from him. She was full of courage and energy. She was free.....

Henry went in front of the army of green walking like a leader. Tightening his chest like lion, will of human, sharp eyes like eagle.

Henry took attention of most of the Zombies. Henry was deep thinking, everything froze.....

If I do some explosive it can be used, but where I find it right now? Can make something fall on them? No change....

Fear the quiet moments, that's when they are listening.

Henry saw the face with depression. In a unknown pain, they can't describe.....

They totally became senseless brain thrust creature but still feel pain.....

They became what they didn't wanted.

Once they were us, now they are what fear becoming.....

A leaf swiftly travelled over his nose, time is flowing. They are coming. Henry wanted to communicate and help them, zombies are zombies you know... Reader?

Henry chuckled as many bullets suddenly came out from his back taking down all enemies in a instant.

" You are late champ. "

Saying that he looked back.

Jeff came with a rescue team. Which were in duty to recruit all vanguards together who were missing after this invasion started.

Jeff came near and whispered,

" Okay, fine. What about the people? Where is Mary? "

" She's inside.... Maybe. "

.....

Five minutes earlier,

Mary is inside. Gathered all citizens. People are panicked. There is a guy shouting loudly like crazy, " Damnit! We are gonna die! See? God is fake! He doesn't see anything! Hahaha! We will die! See sent this elite to kill us! "

Many people were bothered and children scared because of him. Mary went near him.

" Are you a mental patient? If yes, then—"

That crazy guy shoved Mary backwards.

" Who are you calling me mental patient!? You damn woman! "

" Oh, sorry for that. I was just thinking that zombies don't run out of patience, do you?"

That guy was silent for a moment.

Mary looked at him.

" A calm mind sees storms as passing clouds, not endless tempest. A quite heart is stronger than a loud war between gods. "

Everyone in the room was calm. Mary slowly went near the window. His sight fell on the big corpse of zombies. Weird smell making almost everyone vomit. Everyone covered their face except Mary.

Mary went out taking them. Met Henry and Jeff.

The town is almost cleaned. None died but many people got injured. Some are infected.....

Three began laughing. They did well in this operation. Their position will grow for sure.

Henry just thought about Church of Hazaya.

He farewells everyone for now changing his track to church.

" Tap tip tip tap "

Climbing the steps,

Henry reached the upper side of the church.

As always, Father Vain was on the sitting on the plastic chair, sipping tea. Vain stood up putting the tea pot down on the chair.

" Well, that was a good performance! You don't need praise, praise needs you! Haha. "

Henry went closer asked if anyone has reached here. Vain told him to calm down.

" Oh boy, I don't know what are you thinking but the beginning of the epilogue has began from now! "

" Huh? "

Henry is confused.

" When did the prologue started? "

" Haha, just couple weeks ago, when you were just born. "

" Yeah, life is short..... "

Actually, Henry didn't understand what Vain meant. Vain chuckled and adored him.

" In some minutes, some people cops will appear here, you go. We will talk later. "

Henry and Vain made a handshake. After that both left the spot. One in church and one in home.

While climbing down, some weird lines were rumbling inside his small brain. His head is aching a lot. Henry just got a vision.....

He looked into a zombie's eyes while the invasion. It leads a path.....

Henry stopped walking and closed eyes on the stairs.

Every zombies are going in same direction, north, near his home, not his home, somewhere....

A sound of breaking crystal pops in his mind like a sharp arrow pining in brain. Don't know why this type the prophecy was giving him some trouble.

It's....

It is....

IT IS!!!!!!!

ZACH'S FAMILY!!!

All zombies were trying to reach Zach's house from the beginning!

.....

In the Vanguard station, Artifact Room,

Some vanguards are guarding while researchers are working.

The diary started to glow. An unknown blue and red energy surrounding it. Causing a force which is creating big blows of wind.

Someone tries to go closer gets shoved back harder. Everyone was afraid.

A call of silence is pulling them but they can't reach there.....

Hearing noises, Andrew Smith came down.

He tries to go near. He was able to go forward freely without any hesitation but don't know why he was acting like the force is actually pushing him.

His acting made everyone believe, Andrew was weak to Infront of that thing. Andrew moved forward and touched the book and closed it quickly.

The energy floating all around vanished leaving a sign behind. One soldier literally broke one bone.

" Okay boys, go to work " then whispers to himself " I get it. "

As he left the room with the diary, a mysterious dizzy silver trail left behind.

....

Henry hurrily running between the pile of corpse. He reached Infront of Zach's home.

He knocked twice, no response. The door is locked from inside. Henry breaked the door and fell on the floor with the door.

He stood up looked around.

It's late.....

Everything is blood bathed,

They are dead.

The river of blood touched his feet within seconds making Henry stun for a while...

The culprit was here...
