Zombie City: Dead or Life
30. The Silent Station

*Andhika POV*

Sfx: Bruuuuummm.....!!! Bruuuuuummm......!!! Wmmmm....!!

This bustling city is now only filled with tragedy and deep trauma. Just looking at it made me feel claustrophobic but liked it, because every fight was there for me.

I drove the Jeep casually because the road was deserted from the corpses that were wandering.

"Hey Zidan, how does it feel to fight ? What's fun?" Ask a question what for his action-packed and adrenaline-pumping battle.

"I think this is what makes me feel alive, andhika. It's so much fun hahaha" Zidan replied with a laugh at the end of his words.

We both smiled in satisfaction for killing a lot of zombies.

"Bzzzzz.... Bbbzzz...krrskk!! Zidan's... Bbbz..!!"

Walkie talkie brought by Zidan reads, spontaneously Zidan answers the call walkie talkie.

"Hey kelvin, what's wrong?"

"After a distance of 500 meters, we will directly enter the main road.... Bbbwcz.... Krrsk....! Then turn to the right... Bzztt's... We'll arrive afterwards near the station area... Bbzzz...!!"

"Alright Kelvin, I get it" then Zidan closes his call.

"You hear that, Andhika?"

"Yes I heard, all right. And it's also like we're on the block again..." A smile full of passion on my lips.

As if to say, we'll start acting again. Zidan who looked at me understood then prepared in his position to shoot.

In front of there appeared some zombies that were walking staggering to the middle of the road. His face was crushed, his eyeballs were out, his skin was peeled off, his flesh was torn to pieces until the contents in his stomach came out hanging under his stomach. Adding to the essence of how disgusting this lifeless creature was.

I don't feel nauseous or anything if I see her, it's just that my instinct to kill is getting stronger and sharper.

It feels so good to kill, kill, and kill them. Without me noticing my smile had turned into the horrible smile I had shown a few years ago.

Zidan replaced the empty ammunition from his heavy machine guns, with new ammunition.

Sfx: clack... Ctingg. tekk... Ckla!!

"It's ready to fire, captain" said Zidan, who had just finished filling his ammunition.

"Now make the holes in their heads and stomachs even bigger... Hahaha" I said with an evil laugh.

"Haha..! On request!"

Zidan aimed towards the several zombies that were seen in front of there, then shot out brutally.

Sfx: dor dor dor dor dor dor dor dor dor!!! Ahhhhhh!!! Agrrooaaggh!!!

Every bullet that shot out pierced their lifeless bodies, blood spurting where, bullets lodged in the bodies of the zombies. The bones that were still intact in the bodies of the zombies were immediately broken by the bullets that shot from the heavy machine gun Zidan.

Suddenly the zombies collapsed and died a second time.

"Tch..! Overheating!" Zidan.

Zidan takes his FN P90 and shoots the zombies that can still stand.

Sfx: dor dor dor dor!!! Ggrrooaagghh!!! Agrrhh!!!

"Handle, Zidan!!"

The jeep I stepped on the pile of bodies making a shock, Zidan was already holding on and holding his shot.

The speeding Kindergarten bus and stepping on several piles of corpses was also slightly shaken, but it could pass through it easily.

Sfx: 100 meters more..bbbzztt!! Kkrv!!

Zidan picked up the walkie talkie and agreed to the command of Kelvin.

"100 more meters, Andhika!"

"All right, I understand!"

Jeep and TK buses speed along the road to the main road.

*POV*Zidan*

"Bwz...!! Now turn right!! Kkrvm..!! Listen and focus in front of you!! Bbbzt!"

A walkie talkie from Kelvin. Me and Andhika just focused while listening to her.

Andhika slams the steering wheel to the right to bend her Jeep. The Kindergarten bus driven by our feet also followed from behind.

Along the deserted road, there were only piles of corpses and cars strewn across this vast and desolate main road.

The decomposing corpse, the pungent smell made the person who saw it would even lose his appetite instantly.

A lot of chaos occurs everywhere, but very quiet and far from the word crowded though. Like the thing is watching the city die.

In every eye that looked, I was fixed on one place, which made me have to lift a walkie talkie to talk to Kelvin.

"Kelvin? You see? The station looks deserted. I don't see any of his last trains there..."

"Bbbzzz....!!! Yeah I saw her... Bbbzz!! Krr!!"

"Bwdw...!! We check the city square first. krzssk!!"

"Alright, Kelvin"

"We'll check the town square first, then the station" I continued to Andhika.

"Well according to Kelvin's plan, isn't the announcement on tv yesterday that the emergency post is going to take refugees to the port tomorrow?"

"Well, we'll see"

Jeep and Kindergarten buses casually walk down the main road while avoiding corpses and vehicles strewn everywhere.

It didn't take long, the end of his Jeep and Kindergarten buses stopped in front of the town square. Sepi, silent, and chaotic may be able to describe this square, that it was left a few days ago. Some of the tent posts still stood firmly but looked empty and messy.

Kelvin got off the bus and joined me and Andhika, astonished and questioning coming from Andhika's mouth.

"Is there a problem, Kelvin?"

"Take this Jeep down all the corners and areas of this square, kamiya and the others will not come, they will wait there" Kelvin said.

Kelvin is smart and responsive, and can quickly give the right orders and choices even in times of emergency.

Andhika smiled cynically then stepped on the gas surrounding the square and every corner of her.

Every eye looked at there were only corpses scattered, tent posts that were still standing firmly, some medical devices that had been used and then thrown away.

It was as if this place had been ambushed by enemy forces.

Jeep advanced slowly so that the three of us could observe the situation well, there were only a few zombies who were roaring indistinctly. The bodies of soldiers scattered, nurses, refugees, all became one and no longer have a body intact. I then looked at the dead bodies of soldiers carrying weapons and equipment and thought, why not just take the ammunition, not if we're running out of bullets.

"Hey there's some dead bodies of soldiers and some weapons, how about we get the ammunition?"

"I don't think it's necessary, Zidan"

"We don't know the conditions we're going to experience, if it brings a commotion to this place"

"You're right, Kelvin. Silence sometimes gives you a surprise"

Andhika replied with a smile looking at the scattered corpses.

The three of us continued down and observed the state of the square to every corner, hoping to find something.

*We are POV*

"Bzztt...bbzztt..!!"

"How is Haqqul, can they be contacted?"

"No, they did not answer" answered haqqul flatly.

I let out a long sigh then leaned against the head of the soft chair, looking at the ceiling of the roof of the Kindergarten bus, while occasionally imagining that it would be quiet and comfortable to sleep because it had the protection of the government.

But like her it was just my delusion, which might be realized if only haqqul did not lift the walkie talkie that reads.

"Bwzzz!! Kkrsk!! Go to the station first...!! Bbbz...!! Check if there is still one of the trains waiting...!!!? Kkrrsky..!!"

"Understand, Kelvin!"

"Sir kamiya, we have to get to the station now. Kelvin told us to check out the train that's still there"

"Then, how are they?" My dream asked them.

"As if they'll catch up..." Answer haqqul by filling in his Kriss vector ammunition.

Sfx: youmm...!!! Bruuum!!

Without waiting for any more cue I took the bus to the station close to this square.

Not long after, we arrived at the station parking lot.

The engine shuts off, the bus door opens and the haqqul comes out with two katanas held by him.

I came out with a SCAR FN and carried a sniper on my back.

"Hassan, take care of them. We'll check this place, whether it's safe or not" I explained.

"Okaya" Hassan answered respectfully like a soldier but with a smile.

I threw a cynical smile and then entered with the haqqul vigilantly, without making a sound.

Parking lots full of cars, some bodies lying near the entrance, holes in the heads of the bodies that indicate that, there has been a great resistance here to defend their humanity.

The place of the counter and the waiting room are chaotic, making this place as empty as it is not maintained.

Just because of the chaos in a few days, this place was like a great calamity. But that is the reality, now humanity is faced with a calamity that is quite extreme.

My gaze was fixed in all directions to ensure that nothing was awkward, as well as the haqqul that kept watch while walking without making a sound towards the train tracks.

I looked to the right and to the left, hoping that there would still be a train on the tracks.... And exactly right. I'm lucky...

My eyes were fixed on one of the trains still stuck at the end of the tracks, we approached the carriage. Whether it still works well, as well as checking inside the gate.

With cautious steps we both got into the carriage, haqqul checked the rear carriage and I checked the front carriage, the inspection I did with haqqul was very fast and thorough, at once check the function of his train.

Lucky for us, it turns out this train is still functioning well.

Haqqul approached me while calling Annisa through her walkie talkie, then gave her walkie talkie to me.

"The back carriage is safe, brother"

"Alright, thank you, I'll get them here"

"Annisa, it's safe here, you all get in here. Pass through the entrance and then go to the counter and waiting room, after which you go ahead and open the door that is directed directly to the train tracks, after arriving at the yellow line zone, after reaching the yellow line, look to the left and you will find a train in the corner of the rail, we are here waiting" I explained at length.

"Bbzzz...!! Okay sis..!! We're heading there soon bbzztt..!!"

Not long after they came with all the luggage on the bus, we both approached them to help put them into the rear carriage.

"Just put all our luggage in the back carriage"

The others agreed with my words and began to arrange the luggage into the rear carriage.

"Hassan, can you take this train?"

"Of course you can, haqqul"

"All right, I'll leave it to you for the train"

"Alright, with pleasure" said Hassan who then his eyes were fixed on the canned drink machine and Snack.

Without further ado, Hassan approached the canned drink machine and Snack, then lifted the two and carried them to the rear carriage.

"What did you bring that? Ask me who was astonished to see Hassan carrying a drink machine and Snack.

"It's to banish your hunger" joked Hassan, who made the women laugh, except when he looked at her with a flat gaze.

Hassan loaded the engine into the rear carriage then headed to the control room and turned on his entire engine.

We all sat in the front carriage, waiting for Kelvin, Andhika, and Zidan.

*Kelvin POV*

Sfx: tep tep tep tep! Srakk! Sruk! Srakk! Srakk!

The sound of the goods laid out in the Jeep, all this is consumption and also the need of all of us for the next week.

I'm afraid if help doesn't come in a few days, then this stock is enough for all of us in a week.

Drinking water, snacks, bread, meat, and some instant spices, fruits, sweets, milk, and also other needs.

"Hey, aren't we like robbers, looting everything in this supermarket?" Zidan said while arranging everything in a Jeep.

"Hahahaha this is his name of survival in a precarious situation, Zidan" Andhika said while laughing at Zidan.

"Yes right, after all, the owner of this store has been displaced to a safer place" I said chiming Andhika.

"It's true too.., but still we look like robbers, hahaha" joked Zidan who then climbed into the Jeep while ready in his position.

No wonder it will fit a lot, it turns out this Jeep is multifunctional, so that as many items as anything will fit. There were no passengers in the back.

Zidan's place was in the middle with a standing position, so he did not touch the item behind him.

Andhika and I got into the Jeep, and Andhika started the engine and put gas in the direction of the station.

I looked to the side, looking at a sight that could not be called a sight anymore, yet... My eyes were fixed on a zombie standing near the power pole, he stared at me a moment after which he shouted.

Sfx: aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrkkkhhhh!!!!

The sound was so loud that it made my ears, andhika, and zidan sick.

But even worse is a bunch of zombies running after the three of us.

Andhika who saw him immediately plugged the gas faster towards the station.

Arriving at the parking station is not his Andhika stop, but...

"HOLD ON!!!!" Andhika Shouts.

Zidan was holding on to the roof, as well as my holding self, inside the Jeep was shaking but the Jeep was not upturned.

Sfx:bruuuummm...!!!!! Yumpe!!!! Prude!!! Bruuum!!!

Andhika drove her Jeep into the glass entrance, but was able to enter safely, while a horde of zombies still ran after us behind.

"QUICK OPEN THE CAR!!" yelled Andhika while deflecting her Jeep to the left approaching to the carriage.

The others swiftly opened the carriage, while haqqul and kamiya out of the carriage opened fire on the zombies running behind us.

Jeep stopped right beside the carriage, Andhika and I got off the Jeep and immediately moved the items in the Jeep to the rear carriage. The women helped to receive the goods that Andhika and I moved.

Zidan shot at the approaching zombies with his heavy machine guns.

Sfx: dor dor dor dor dor dor!! Aharrrggghhh!!! Ggrroooagaggh!!! Wh...!!!!

All the goods were removed, Zidan held fire and jumped down from the Jeep, all backed off and safely entered the carriage.

"CLOSE HASSAN'S CAR DOOR!!" yell me.

Hassan heard him then immediately closed the door of the carriage and drove forward the train we were riding.

Sfx: Jes Jes Jes Jes Jes Jes Jes Jes tuuuuutttt!!! Tuuuuttt!!!!

The loud and loud sound of the carriage made the zombies get closer to the carriage.

But the lifeless creature will not be able to pounce on us, because we are all safe inside here.

"Favorable end" Zidan smiled.

"Is that so?" I said with a small smile.

"We can only hope that in the next place, it will be a safe place"

"Yes... I hope so..."

I sat down and looked at the cloudy sky with a glare, will this suffering be finished here...? Or continue for as long as it is..?

But as I know, our struggles were not in vain....

Towards the light of hope that will never be achieved by the silence of the deep darkness......

The To Be Continued.....
