Trapped on Zombie Island
Chapter 25
Those on the rooftop were very enthusiastic when they heard the sound of the spacecraft, they saw clearly the plane although it looks very small because of their distance, so far away, unfortunately they could not scream for fear of the sound of zombies that might be on the emergency stairs there.
Diego, Dave, and Victor keep waving their hands up, even Dave goes up to the rook waving Diego's shirt, hoping that one of the crew sees them.
Damn, no one saw them.
Marsell who was busy holding the door, he immediately ran to the balcony, looking at the plane that was getting further and further away, "Ah shit! We should have run to the rooftop." he lamented to Rere.
Marsell had absolutely no idea on the rooftop there were survivors.
"Do you think Ana, Mira, and Dave might be safe?" rere asked as he watched the zombies passing by below.
"So, I don't care. They may have died." Marsell was actually hurt last night Ana would rather go out to trick the zombies than live with him in this apartment, Ana was desperate to help Dave and the others. Marsell knows Ana secretly notices Dave on campus, but Ana may not be aware of his feelings.
Marsell went back inside, had to help Rangga and Alan to hold the door even though it had been held by a TV cabinet.
It was late in the afternoon, no more planes or helicopters crossed the island.
Diego, Dave, and Victor are looking for something to every corner of the rooftop, no tools or anything they can use to grab the attention of a plane or helicopter if it crosses the island.
Dave found a carmantel strap, a rope commonly used by rope access, to clean the glass of apartment buildings. Dave showed the rope to Diego and Victor, who knew it was any good. "I just found this rope."
"Oh that's the carmantel strap. Unfortunately I never climb walls or cliffs." Victor was so sorry why he never did rock climbing in college.
Diego did follow rock climbing or wall climbing, but that was when he was in college, he felt there was no harm in him trying again to find something in the apartment there, it was possible that he had found useful items for them, or unexpired food. "Let me try this."
Rachel heard Diego say, she did not approve because the risk was too dangerous. "I don't agree, it's a real danger."
Diego reassures Rachel, "We can't keep quiet like this, Rachel. There is nothing here that we can use. We have to find something, including food for Cindy and Adel, they haven't eaten, just a piece of chocolate that morning."
Rachel was silent, she looked at Cindy who was a little weak, as well as Adel, even though they were playing again, but they would not be able to resist hunger any longer. Moreover, he did not know until when they would continue to be trapped like this.
Without much thought, Diego started tying his waist with a rope, making sure the rope bond on his waist was strong. He wanted to try to enter the apartment, just maybe he found anything they could use. The important thing is not to go to the floor occupied by Marsell because on the floor there is certainly a lot of zombies roaming.
Dave tied the rope to a wall post firmly, he looked at Diego who was already standing at the rooftop fortress, "Be careful bang."
Diego nodded his head, he began to descend down slowly by continuing to hold on to the rope.
So tense looking down there, he saw thousands of zombies looking at him while roaring with hunger.
"Aagghhrrkk...Aagghhrdrkk..."
Although their distance is so far away but the sound of zombies that disturb Diego's concentration, Diego passes through every window of the apartment, he can see how the atmosphere in each apartment room. There are a lot of zombies there.
"Aagghhrrkkk!"
Diego is startled by one zombie that suddenly appears on a glass wall looking towards him. Until Diego jumped hanging in an indeterminate direction.
"Oh Diego!" Victor and Dave who set the rope above were shocked to see the hanging Diego unable to control the rope.
Rachel immediately looked down there with anxious feelings, but she initially did not want to see him at all because she was very afraid to see Diego who was determined to do rappeling on the apartment wall. She was so agitated, so worried about him, her heart was so unsettled.
Moreover, down there the zombies are increasingly enthusiastic looking up, overlapping each other to be able to prey on their food in the afternoon.
Diego tries to set his balance, he sets his foot back against the wall of the apartment as a foothold.
Carefully he tried to pay attention again to every window he passed. Diego doesn't see a zombie in that apartment room, he swings his legs trying to break the glass.
Prang
Diego was silent for a moment in place for a few minutes, who knows suddenly a zombie appeared attacking him.
There was no reaction.
Then Diego opened the room door slowly with a thumping feeling, afraid there were zombies in the middle room of the apartment there.
Diego rubbed his chest, there were no zombies there. Diego was looking for whatever was in there, who knew something was needed.
Diego saw a lot of food, to be honest he was also very hungry, but unfortunately all the food there was expired. Diego glanced at some paint buckets there. He doesn't think he needs that. He better go find another apartment.
Suddenly an idea appeared on the paint bucket. Diego opened a bucket of paint, lucky that the paint was not dry. Diego chose to bring the red only let the color striking. He tote a bucket of paint and tied it to a rope.
Victor and Dave immediately pulled the rope up with the paint bucket, while Diego was still waiting in the apartment room on the 13th floor.
"Cat? Make what?" mira asked as soon as she saw the bucket of paint was successfully brought to the top.
"Maybe you write something?" Ana tried to think.
"We have to write the word Help is very large and thick, ready to know there is a plane or helicopter passing by to see the word" replied Victor.
"Let's just do it." Rachel thinks she's Ana, and Mira should help too.
"It's true." Ana strongly agreed.
The width of Rooftop is quite wide, they can write HELP words with a very large size, approximately one letter is about 7 meters. I really hope someone sees the four letters later if there is a plane or helicopter passing.
Diego brought the carmantel strap that was lowered again by Dave and Victor, he tied back his waist, and down again to the 12th floor, he felt on that floor there were no zombies as well.
Prang
Diego kicked the window back. Damn he heard the zombie roar there.
"Aagghhrrkk....Aagghstrkk....Aagghhrdrkk..."
The zombies ran towards the window.
Diego codes Victor and Dave to pull the rope slightly up so the zombies don't reach him.
Diego was so excited to see the zombies running so fast towards the window. He was surprised that one zombie climbed into the broken window, seeing Diego hanging up.
"Aagghhrrkkk!"
The zombie jumped to grab Diego's leg.
Lucky Victor and Dave immediately pull the rope so that the Zombie does not fail to get Diego's foot, instead plunging down.
Victor gave Diego the code to go up, but Diego disagreed asking for a shift. Diego thinks only on the 13th floor there are no zombies, he chose to walk through the 13th floor apartment space only.
Prang
Diego broke the window glass of the apartment room again. As usual, he waited for a zombie to respond to the broken glass or not.
Diego breathed a lot of relief, as there was no zombie response at all .Diego entered the apartment slowly, unfortunately there was nothing he could carry.
But he did not give up, he continued breaking into the other apartment room on the 13th floor. Until finally he found three boiled noodles that have not expired may be forced to eat raw later, he found one snack is also still safe to eat. He stuffed the three noodles and one snack into his shirt. Diego, a wealthy businessman, is so free and easy to get whatever food he wants, now he must feel for the first time the difficulty of finding food to just block the stomach to risk his life.
He watched the apartment room he stopped by, he saw a photo of the owner of the apartment wearing police service clothes.
Diego immediately searched the room, who knew he found a weapon there, but he only found one map, Diego put it in the pocket of his pants who knows need the map.
He saw a drawer in the room, he opened the drawer, he was flabbergasted as soon as he saw a small FN 57 pistol, Diego checked the contents of the bullet, it turned out that there were 18 bullets left. At least he could kill 18 zombies in a very fast time. Diego put the gun in his pants pocket.
It's getting dark and it looks like it's going to rain, Diego has to go back upstairs.
Meanwhile, Marsell, Rere, Rangga, and Alan are getting more and more in control as the zombies are getting more brutal to attack the apartment door, until the door is broken and managed to be broken by the zombies there.
