"Calm, Ark. Quiet." Calm."
Jay immediately grabbed Ark so as not to injure Myron.
Frank helps Myron and tells him to stand down. With a complicated expression on his face, the man said.
"I'm sorry to our friend if it's disrespectful. We're really tired and under-rested in these few days."
"It is in such circumstances that man reveals his true form."
Ark said in an indifferent tone. Once again, he slips Jay's hand and turns to leave. However, just then Jay's voice sounded.
"Can we let them rest for a moment, Ark? They look exhausted. If we just leave them alone ..."
Jay scratched the back of his head.
"I mean, after the fight, I was also quite tired. So what if we rest here for a while."
"Jay, you ..."
Looking at Jay's eyes, Ark let out a long sigh. Although everything was a bit off the mark, he was finally only able to answer.
"At most hour."
"Good!"
Jay smiled kindly. Seeing the expression on the man's face, Ark let out a long sigh. He did not expect that he would be so gentle and less firm.
Hearing that, the group of six earlier also showed a relieved expression.
They are not sitting in the same place. Instead, they sat with their own group.
Ark sat leaning against the wall, staring at me while closing his eyes. Meanwhile, Jay pulled out a full bottle of water, about a liter.
After drinking it, he whispered.
"Ark, they—"
"Do you have to interfere so much?"
"But—"
"Tsk. Rest here, let me give them. You'd better not regret it, because you'll know the truth."
"You mean?"
Not answering Jay's question, Ark stood up. He then walked towards the group of Franks. Seeing his arrival, the six of them looked surprised.
The six people seemed to be eating. But not fresh food, what they eat is compressed biscuits. Even if the food could be preserved, Ark still saw a bit of mushroom on the biscuits. One person held one biscuit, except for two girls who each held only half.
"A-Do you need anything from us, sir? We have a little food if you want."
Frank said in a nervous tone. Not just him, the other five people were afraid that Ark had come to rob them. However, what the young man did made them shocked.
Ark pulled out a bottle of water. Just like Jay, about a liter. Putting it on the asphalt, he then said.
"For it evenly."
"Eh? This ... What about you, sir?"
"I can ask Jay."
"Wait!"
Just then, the bespectacled man, Darin suddenly stopped Ark. What he did instantly made the other five people instantly panic.
"What?"
"If you may know, where can you get clean water, sir?"
Darin was actually scared, but ventured to ask. After all, it was also for his own survival.
"Oh? Fascinating."
Ark smile. Moments later, without a cover-up, the young man gave the important knowledge.
"Actually, although many things rust and age, you can still get clean water from the water tank. In addition, there is also a tandon or water container that is usually on top of the building. When taking, be sure to clean the very top. Also, take water in the middle, but not at the bottom because it is likely dirty.
If you can't find it, just grab the plastic at random and put it out in the open and safe. After a few days, the air was clean. You can collect dew and drink in the morning.
Although not much, a sip of water in the morning is better than nothing.
As for the river water. At least, for the time being, it doesn't seem to be consumable yet."
Hearing that, Darin looked surprised. He bowed politely while saying.
"Thank you so much for your knowledge."
"I'm leaving."
After saying that, Ark turned around and went towards Jay. Asking for a mouthful of water, he then sat leaning back while closing his eyes.
Seeing that, Frank's group had a complicated expression on his face.
"Then let's divide the water."
Hearing Myron's words, the other five people came to their senses and nodded. The man said.
"Because it is limited, let us divide it according to our needs and role."
"Eh? What do you mean, Myron? Didn't that guy tell us to divide it equally."
"Of course it can't be, Brother Brad. You have the most burden, so you deserve more.
You, then brother Frank, just me and Darin. Of course, Stacy and Juana also got their rations."
"That's fair enough."
Brad said with a somewhat confused expression. He was also very hungry and thirsty. Getting more is better. Frank was silent too.
"But ..."
Darin was about to refuse, but Myron again said.
"If you don't want to, it's okay, Darin. Maybe because you already have the knowledge, you want to look for it yourself."
"No. It's not so ..."
Darin finally gave up. Glancing at Stacy and Juana, she could only smile wryly.
In the end, they divided it in such a way. At the end, Stacy and Juana only got one sip of water. It is not full either.
"..."
A few meters further away, where Ark and Jay were sitting looked silent. As their physiques improved, they clearly heard the whispers of the Frank group.
"Ark ..." murmured Jay.
"Now you should understand."
Jay silent. But now he understands. The world is no longer the same, both its appearance, way of life, and its rules. No longer is there a word of pity just because of a friend or something.
The ugliness within man begins to surface.
Ark and Jay still have one bottle of water in the bag. They also have boiled meat dried. However, due to Ark's words, the two did not show their "wealth" in front of the people.
"What happened to them is none of our business, Jay. For now, we can only survive.
If you want to change everything. At the very least, be stronger, at least to create a group and make your own rules."
"I understand ..."
Jay said with a stern expression. It seemed to have rounded up the resolve to make its own rules.
"Then, where are we going?"
"You just have to follow me."
Ark said casually.
Nearly an hour passed, Ark and Jay got up. They then approached Frank's group.
"We're going to go."
Hearing Ark's words, Darin returned the bottle to the young man.
"Thank you for your help."
Darin said in a sincere tone.
"It's okay."
Receiving the empty bottle so that they did not suspect anything, Ark replied to Darin's words in an indifferent tone.
"By the way, if you're traveling, can we follow you?"
"..."
Ark looked at Brad who asked. Of course, he knew that it was Myron's suggestion. So the young man answered.
"We are a different group. If you want to follow us, it is not impossible. However ...
You must take care of your own safety. Don't count on us because we won't help you. You have hands and feet, right?
Then you can fight too."
"..."
Hearing that, Frank's group fell silent. After a while, Frank as the group leader said.
"Of course we'll take care of ourselves. We just want to follow you and find a new purpose."
"Then we agree."
Ark replied casually. After that, she turned around to go with Jay. However, the group could not see that Ark's eyes still looked cold. It was even colder than usual.
After a few hours, they arrived at the police station. However, those eight people were instantly greeted by over a hundred zombies.
Of course, it was very natural that there were many zombies in this place.
People flocked to the police station when the apocalypse occurred. Some are hoping to get a gun, some are expecting police protection, and so on. Result ...
Yep. They all became zombies!
Glancing at the six terrified people then towards the more than a hundred zombies, Ark said in an indifferent tone.
"Welcome to a cruel world where only the strong can survive."
