With sigh, Harry and Hermione looked on, as hundreds of Zombies, either wearing scientist getups or military uniforms was slowly walking on a large stretch of a fifty foot parking lot that was far bellow them." They must have worked here, from the looks of it." Hermione suggested, as Harry nodded in anger." Then we should pay our respects, for what they did to us!" Harry suggested, as he aimed his rocket launcher at the center of the parking lot, as Hermione shook her head." What is it with boys and loud explosions? Hermione sighed, but aimed her rocket launcher at the parking lot." Wait Harry, aim towards the left of the parking lot, and I will aim at the right, hopefully we can create an explosion big enough to cover the entire area." Hermione quickly suggested, and Harry nodded, as he aimed slightly to the left, and both teens fired their rockets, which sent a huge friary explosion that poured out across the parking lot.
Once it was cleared, Harry and Hermione survey the damages." That did it, we are clear to get out of here!" Hermione excitedly said." That good to hear, but we better be prepared, so I guess shot guns will be in order." Harry suggested, since the gun can knock out more then one Zombie a shot." Good idea, but lets get going, since I don't want to stay here any longer then necessary." Hermione suggested, as she place her rocket launcher in her charmed bag, and called for a charmed shot gun, which was charmed to be able to shoot hundreds of bullets, even if its holding just two bullets in the gun.
After two flights of stairs, the two teens, and a child race across a burnt parking lot, but as they reached to the edge of the forest, they had to take down a small number of Zombies that the blast had miss, which luckily a blast from the shotgun took out five Zombies a shot.
Once in the forest, Harry and Hermione caste some heating charms on theirs and Hope clothes, since it was freezing cold, and once it was done, they continued on.
Hours into the forest, the three made it to the main highway, and sadly looked at the devastation of destroyed cars, and skeletons on the streets." I never thought it was this bad?" Hermione worriedly said, as she felt sick of the sight before her." I know, but we better hurry, the next town was a little over half an hour drive from here." Harry informed Hermione, whom shook at the thought walking more." Great that will means we still have more then several hours of walking to do!" Hermione grumbled, but started walking down the long stretch of highway, with no town in sight yet.
The sun was just setting, as the small group ran into the town with shot guns firing at groups of Zombies chasing after them just yards away." Great, we had to run into these guys!" Harry yelled as he shot into the hundreds of Zombies after them, but only taking out a handful." Stop complaining and keep firing!" Hermione yelled back, as she poured shot after shot into the Zombies." Mom, dad, that store is clear of Zombies." Hope called out to her parents, and since Harry and Hermione knew she is always right they agreed to go in." Thanks dear, we could use the rest." Harry said, as he took out his rocket launcher, and fired a rocket that flew threw the Zombies and landed just behind them taking out almost all of them." Lets go now!" Harry yelled, as they rushed into the store, and quickly caste some unbreakable charms on the front walls, glass and doors of the store.
Once inside and safe, Harry looked around, to find themselves in a grocery store, but from the rotting smell he smelt, he knew they might not be able to eat most of the foods." Hermione, we should stock up on some non-perishable foods we can find in this place." Harry suggested, and Hermione nodded in agreement." I'll see what I can scrounge around, why not take out some food we found at the lab's mess hall, and make dinner." Hermione suggested, and Harry quickly went to Hope to get the foods she was carrying in her enchanted bags.
After a light dinner, Harry took out his radio, and radioed Alice for a report." Hey Alice, we are in the nearby town, but look like we might take weeks before reaching London if we keep fighting Zombies." Harry tiredly spoke into the radio." Harry maybe I can help, since according to a spy satellite we are using to monitor your progress, there's a large shopping mall just an hour walk outside of town." Alice informed some anxious teens." Hopefully there you will find some new vehicles you could burrow and lesson the time of your trip." Alice suggested, and Hermione agreed." Sound like a plan, we can do that tomorrow morning once we are fully rested." Hermione suggested, and then after a quick goodbye and thanks, Harry shut off the radio, and they all called it a night.
The next afternoon, Harry, Hermione and Hope rushed into the large shopping mall, and quickly sealed the doors with magic." An hour walk Alice only said, she could've warned us that there was thousands of Zombies between us and the mall." Hermione breathlessly said, as Harry agreed." Next time I'll asked for more info, but lets rest for now before we check this mall out." Harry suggested, and they all collapse onto the ground, glad that the mall was Zombie free.
The mall was three floors, and had hundreds of deferent shops, but luckily they found some new Suzuki's on the first floor, and quickly checked them out." Why do I have a feeling I can ride this without any practice?" Harry asked Hermione, as he looked over a pure black bike." We seem to know things we never learn before our capture, maybe Umbrella did something to us to make us smarter, unless it's the Virus that helping us to quickly learn new things?" Hermione suggested, but Hope answered." Actually its Umbrella's doing, since they implanted a micro chip in your brain that teaches you about everything that is Muggle." Hope informed her parents, as Hermione looked to her." Do you have the chip also?" Hermione asked, but Hope shook her head." No, I think I'm sort of a seer, since I know things in advance." Hope informed Hermione, and she nodded in agreement." At least you are not like Professor Sybil, who keeps predicting my death." Harry said with groan." I wouldn't do that, you my father." Hope happily informed Harry, whom gave her a hug." I'm glad of that, but lets shrink two of these bikes, and head into the stores and get some clothes, since I don't want to just wear body armor." Hermione informed the two, and they quickly left to get some new clothes.
An hour later, Hermione was getting some clothes for Hope, and smiled as she help looked over some expensive clothing." How many clothes do I have to get?" Hope asks as she looked over the new clothes rack." Maybe a week worth, or maybe more should be enough." Hermione informed Hope, but their talks were interrupted by a couple of machine gun sounds." Oh great, Harry must have found some Zombies?" Hermione worriedly suggested, since they all separated to deferent stores, but Hope quickly spoke up." Dad not shooting at Zombies, we have a bigger problem Lickers!" Hope quickly said, startling Hermione for a second, before realizing what Hope said." Come on, we already got enough clothes for now!" Hermione worriedly said, as she stuff a handful of clothes into one of Hope's enchanted bags, both quickly left the store.
Earlier, Harry was just exiting a restaurant, when he was thrown to the ground, as a skinless human/lizard like creature jumped on him." Great a Licker, it was just my luck to run into these things." Harry thought as he tried to keep it from biting him by holding it head with one hand, and tried to grab his guns with the other." Great, this is not going to work!" Harry thought, and then deciding forget his guns, he slammed his fist into the creature's face, causing it to fly into threw the glass windows of a store, and out of sight, as Harry quickly rolled over and got up." Wow, I didn't think we were that strong?" Harry said aloud, and then grabbed his guns and started firing.
Out on the second floor, Hermione and Hope ran into Harry, whom was shooting two hand held guns into the wall." That thing is fast, and I will need some help in dealing with this monster." Harry breathlessly said, as Hermione quickly got out her machine guns." Are there anymore of those things?" Hermione asked, as she spotted the skinless human/lizard creature and fired, but miss as it scurrying along the walls." I hope not, since this one is harder to kill." Harry quickly said, as the creature disappeared around a corner." I think we should leave, I don't want to be around it?" Hope suggested, and Hermione nodded." Lets go, I know we have bullets to spare, but I don't want to waste it on this thing." Hermione worriedly informed Harry." You are right, and luckily I found a food store, and stuck up on some can goods and drinks." Harry informed Hermione and they quickly left the floor.
As the trio rushed to the first floor, Hope pointed up." We got company!" Hope yelled, and her parents looked up, to see the almost the entire ceiling moving." Great more Lickers, and this time there is hundreds of them!" Hermione worriedly said, as she and Harry gulped." Hermione get your cycle out, we are getting out of here now!" Harry quickly informed Hermione, and without hesitation, both got out their bikes to un-shrink them.
Outside the mall, the parking lot was rocked by a number of explosions, which immediately cleared the way of Zombies and debris for two motor cycles which skidded to a turn." We should destroy the mall, since we don't those Lickers to spread out!" Harry suggested, as he aimed his rocket launcher, which was placed on the handle bar with a sticking charm at one of the mall windows." I guess you are right." Hermione sighed, as she aimed her rocket launcher, and both teens fired several rockets into the mall, causing it to explode as the teens rode away, leaving the mall in smoke and flames.
