The long road from hell was more difficult to escape, after Bill sacrifice himself to save his friends from the hoard of zombies. The others screamed his name not to get himself killed by the zombies. But it was too late, they were too many zombies around the area. Bill already told them to go and get out before it's too late.
As they cross through the bridge from their survival to escape, a fire suddenly breaks out from the explosion bursting out flames of disaster. Zoe took one look how she felt really upset seeing Bill gone and left for dead. He was a hero to his own team keeping them alive by helping them to escape from this apocalypse world. They traveled far away from the place, but no where to find a safe place to stay and sleep for the night before continuing their journey tomorrow.
Francis spotted a house as they find themselves in Bricker Street. "This might be a safe place to stay, come on." Francis tries to open the door but it was locked. "Shit! How are we gonna get in?" He tries to think, but Louis goes around the backyard only to find a back door in the backyard.
"Man, it's locked. Is anyone got a lock pick?" Louis needed a lock pick to unlock the back door. Zoe pulls out a hair clip and turns it into a lock pick as she unlocks the back door. The three of them walk inside the kitchen as Louis turns on the light switch. The light was just flickering mad, Francis has a bad feeling about the house.
"Hope this house doesn't have any fucking vampire shit in here." Francis muttered as he checks around the whole house, he even checks around the living room but no zombies hiding around here. Francis goes upstairs to check the bedrooms and bathrooms. He opened the bedroom only to find the rotten corpse of the couple who took their own lives which gave Francis a shocking look. "Dear god." He leaves the bedroom as he walks downstairs to return back to Zoe and Louis.
With Louis walking downstairs to the basement to find food or drink as he turns on his flashlight. "Let me know if you find anything Louis?" Said Zoe as she see Francis returning back from upstairs. "Well, any zombies living around?" She asked him.
Francis didn't even break a tear only that he did witness of two dead bodies lying on the bed. "About that, I just found two dead bodies upstairs in the bedroom. They've taken their own lives." Francis explained to Zoe where she suddenly felt shock and horrified to hear. "It's best if we sleep here in the living room for now before we can head out tomorrow." Francis suggested to Zoe where she agreed with him.
Louis managed to find some food and a half of bottle of whiskey. Before he could head back upstairs, he hears a strange sound coming from the corner of the basement. "Hello…? Is anyone there, hello?" Louis turns on his flashlight to shine around the dark basement only to find a zombie kid attached with metal chains suddenly gives Louis a jump scare. Francis and Zoe heard his scream coming from the basement.
"What the hell is going on down there!?" Francis rushes downstairs seeing the traumatised Louis on the floor, he pointed his finger at the zombie kid which gave Francis a shocking expression look on his face. "Holy shit!" He stood still and began to realise that the couple only took their own lives because of their son.
Zoe came downstairs to the basement only to find a zombie kid. "Oh my god, why is he in chains?" She wondered about the zombie kid. Francis took one look of the zombie kid, he was distanced away from the zombie kid, but Francis needed to make a choice where he pulls out his knife by stabbing the brain. He only closed his eyes and began to feel sorry for the kid and his family.
After killing the zombie, Francis sat on the floor with his head tilted downward. Zoe checked on Francis to see if he was okay after what he did to kill a zombie kid. "Hey, Francis? Are you still okay?" She asked him.
"Not really, no." Francis feels kinda bad by blaming himself for making the decision, like all types of bad decisions to make the choices whenever if it's a good choice or a bad choice. Louis came by with the half of whiskey to share it all out. He then asked Francis to see if he wanted some whiskey to drink.
"Hey Francis, you want some whiskey?" Louis asked Francis.
"No thank you, you two can have it. I need to rest." Francis lays his head down as he sleeps. Louis shares some whiskey with Zoe as they all drink together. A couple hours later after they finished off the whiskey, Francis was having one of those dreams where he finds himself in a campfire with Bill sitting on the log.
"Bill…? Is that you?" He begin to wonder if it was Bill.
"Glad you're still awake son." He said to Francis. "It's just you and me in the campfire." Bill places the whiskey next him as Francis got up from the grass and then picks up the whiskey bottle. He begins to know why he thought Bill was left for dead after making a sacrifice to save the others.
"I thought you were dead out there? Did you make it out?" He asked Bill.
"Good question, when I told you lot to get yourselves out of here, I had to make a choice. Sacrificing myself to save you lot." Bill explained why he needed to save his Francis, Zoe and Louis. He understands the explanation from Bill. Then wanted to talk with Bill about killing a zombie child, something that he is not proud about himself.
"Glad that you're okay, but there is something that I want to tell you Bill." Francis begins to tell Bill. "I killed a kid who became a zombie. His parents were found dead after taking their lives before we came to this house, we found a kid who was infected but I had make a decision by killing the kid." He explained to Bill which got Francis upset about the kid.
"Decision are really hard to make Francis, you can't keep a zombie child as your family, but you need to kill it. That's the decision you make to kill a zombie child." Bill proved him right about the decision making, but he still blames himself for doing it, until Bill's guts started to fall out from him. Francis suddenly woke up from his nightmare, just a bad dream that he had.
Zoe and Louis were still asleep peacefully as Francis closed his again hopefully not to end up in another nightmare. As the sun rises from the horizon, Zoe and Louis got up early as Francis is still sleeping.
"Yo Francis, time to get up!" Louis woke Francis as he got up, he jerked his arms to move around and yawned. "Come on Francis, we got to get going." Said Louis.
"Alright, Alright. I'm up." Francis said after waking up from his sleep. As they left the house to continue onwards for their survival, Francis has something to tell for Zoe. "Zoe, there something I need to tell." He asked Zoe. "I had a dream about Bill." He said.
"Bill? You had a dream about Bill?" Zoe wondered.
"Yeah… I talked about killing that zombie child that I wasn't proud about." Francis mentioned about the zombie kid. "Then all of a sudden his guts was fallen out." Francis remembers his dream from last night as Zoe heard everything from him.
"Hey guys, don't we need some ammo for our guns?" Louis asked the others.
"We sure do, let's go and find some ammo." Said Francis while Zoe and Louis slip up to find some ammo. They find themselves full of military trucks and tanks, they saw some dead soldiers lying around. Francis checks inside the truck and luckily found some ammo that they needed it for their survival, on the other hand Louis found a radio that was calling from the military as he warned them.
"Guys over here!" Louis waved his both hands getting their attention. As they gathered around Louis by listening to the radio by getting some answers.
"Hello..? Is anyone there? If there's someone here, there is a safe place at Milton street. Take the map with you, you'll find it where you will find the location. It's not that far away from you. Take it and stay alive." The radio cuts off while Francis finds a map to find the location of Milton street. He sees the red circle that was marked on the map which is Milton street.
"Great, now we know where to go." Said Zoe.
