Chapter 26: Parking Lot (II)

After hearing Denton, silence took over the room. All of them were thinking the same thing 'Who needs to go?'. The silence broke as Mark said, "Ok, then I will go. Mona, stay here and kill any zombies which make their way here. Now tell me where this place that I need to go." turning towards Denton at the end.

Mark had 2 reasons he had, First was the eerie feeling he was feeling since he entered. He felt he could die any moment and for a person who wanted to end his life; he was excited to find out the reason. The other was that the gate needed to be opened as quickly as possible for the military to come in, along with some benefits for him.

Mona and Denton did not respond till Mona simply nodded and said. "Okay, be careful out there."

Mark nodded and both of them turned towards Denton. noticing they took a decision he could only sigh and say, "The place you need to go is the exact opposite from here. There would be a compact room like this one there and you need to just go towards the biggest handle and restart it."

Mark nodded and held his machete tighter and turned around. As he made his way towards the door, he heard Denton again, "Mark, take this." and he turned around to notice a black object coming towards him.

Catching it by reflex, he noticed it was a walkie-talkie used by the security. He noticed there was another in Denton's hand, stripped it to his bag and slowly made his way outside. Closing the door behind his back, Mark slowly walked towards the opposite side, meaning deeper into the parking lot.

The blinking lights could only give him a minimal amount of light to see. As he went deeper, the lights kept on decreasing making it harder to see. The air also became thicker as he went in, and he could also feel the temperature dropping. He kept looking around and suddenly felt danger behind him and side-stepped.

As he side-stepped, he noticed a zombie run by him. Seeing it, Mark was astonished at its speed. It was running at a speed similar to humans and this was pressurizing. If the zombies were quicker than the danger for them would increase by server folds. He gripped the machete tighter as the zombie stopped and looked around like it was finding prey and noticed Mark; it started running towards him again.

Mark tried to concentrate and looked at the zombie which was running at an average human speed. As he continued to stay in his position, trying to concentrate and slash the machete in his hand at the correct time.

As the zombie came in front of him, Mark quickly brought the machete down and slashed its head. He still had to dodge the body as its momentum did not stop with the head filling in the air. As the body crossed him, it fell down sliding on the hard cement floor.

He exhaled in relief, noticing no other zombies around him and took out the walkie-talkie he had with him. He slowly turned it on and bought it near his mouth and said, "Hell! Denton, you there?"

"Yes Mark, what is it?"

"You guys be careful. I think the zombies somehow got faster, at least some of them like they are developing. They ran at the speed of an average human."

There was complete silence on the other side and so he asked again, "Denton! You there. Denton!."

"AH! Yes, I am here. So are these for all the zombies."

"I can't confirm that yet, I only faced one zombie since I started and it seemed like a fast one."

"Ok then be careful Mark. Inform us if you face a problem."

"Sure all right." and kept it back in the bag.

He slowly went towards the body and flipped it up for any changes in appearance. He noticed this one looked like the others and there wasn't any change. He could only sigh and continue on forward. He started to wonder if the feeling he felt was due to these zombies.

As he continued several more zombies attacked him and only 2 were fast ones which came at him solo. He slowly got accustomed to the fast ones as he faced more of them. The feeling of death only became thicker as he continued on forwards towards his destination.

As he continued, he could finally see the room. Looking around for any zombies, he slowly went near it. As he reached, he noticed the door already open and peeked inside for any zombie. He noticed only one zombie on the chair and so entered inside.

He quietly made his way towards the chair and killed it in one swing when he was near. He looked around the room and noticed many computers and other technology-related stuff in the room.
