Doomsday: Ultimate Survivor

Chapter 6-2 Kill A Person

Together, Eric and Andy decided they had to get some supplies. On the way to the factory, Andy had not been idle. He had observed the local environment and remembered that there was a small supermarket on a side road about 2 kilometres away.

Eric made the decision. “We have no choice; we need supplies. We have the car, let’s get to the supermarket while we know things are quiet out there. Not only for food and drink, we have to get other stuff like tents and quilts.”

Eric and Andy drove in the direction of the small supermarket. There were no more than 20 zombies on the route there, and they all moved slowly out of the way.

At the door of the supermarket, two zombies were wandering around outside. To save a direct confrontation, Eric ran over the two zombies with the car. After going back and forth over the bodies a few times, he stopped the car at the supermarket entrance.

The supermarket was not big. It was a typical, old community place. Eric broke the glass with his truncheon, then he and Andy jumped in.

Biscuits, instant noodles, mineral water, salt, rice… the place was full of precious resources! The two men began to manically fill their backpacks.

“Freeze! Don’t you dare move!” A man slowly stood up from behind the cashier’s counter.

What was going on? Eric dropped his backpack and turned around. The man had a square face and an unkempt moustache. But most importantly, he was holding a dagger in his hand.

“Take it easy, man. We just came for some food and water. We’ll leave now,” Eric said slowly. This was only the second living person he had met in the doomsday.

The man laughed. “Get some food? Who the hell are you?”

Eric raised the truncheon slowly. “It doesn’t matter who we are or what you want. It all means nothing now.”

Out of the blue, the man rushed at Eric with the dagger! Perhaps because he had absorbed the zombies’ power, Eric stepped sideways and dodged the surprise attack perfectly.

They disagreed with each other, so the man made a move just like that? Was this someone who would survive doomsday? Anyway, now that the man wanted to kill him, they had nothing to discuss.

Eric attempted to kick the man’s right leg, which was supporting most of his weight, but the man was also able to move out of the way. He waved the dagger in Eric’s direction and shouted, “I’m going to kill you!”

Human nature in the end of the world was so twisted. People would do anything to get the food needed for survival.

But now Eric had no time to think about these human problems, because the man in front of him obviously didn’t want him and Andy to walk out of there alive.

“Let’s negotiate, man! We don’t need much, let’s work something out. You can bend the rules...” Andy stammered.

The moment the man was distracted and turned his head towards Andy, Eric jumped forward and with all his strength, dropkicked the man in the chest! The man did not expect Eric would suddenly launch an attack, so with no opportunity to move, he was sent flying backwards and hit the ground hard!
