"It's just a small scratch I got while I was trying to run away" Lucy said nonchalantly.
"Did the Slither perhaps...scratch you?" Noah asked warily, Hannah wasn't sure what kind of a Slither he was talking about.
"It's the thing we saw earlier. M-My friends and I call it that since it...kinds of slither around?"
"It....almost did but no...this was from a glass shard" Recalling the events that had just occurred made Hannah all anxious again. She was hoping to be able to forget that encounter.
"...I see. We should get it treated then" Noah said encouragingly, trying to ease the tension.
Noah went outside to grab a med kit while Hannah made herself comfy, sitting on the chair he was sitting down on moments ago. She slowly removed her shoes, examining the shard stuck to her left feet. It was quite big which means it would be much easier to remove hopefully.
Back with the med kit they began tending to Hannah's wound. Luckily there weren't tiny bits of glass stuck in her feet. Her feet was bandaged and the pain was getting lesser and lesser.
"Noah, how did you get here?" Hannah was curious, curious that Noah had ran straight here rather than seek shelter in one of the apartments.
"Oh..I uh, well I thought going to the management's office would be much better and I bumped into the old geezer out there" His tone was off but Hannah never questioned it and let it be.
Hannah was about to leave the room when she noticed the contents of the screen. It read 'Undead Classification' and had what seemed to be different types of the undead? She scrolled through and so far it only has two types of the undead. One is the regular undead ad the other one...was the mutated one that Hannah saw a few moments ago.
Odd how could they be able to upload these things, shouldn't there be no signal?
She was about to ask Noah but the screen had suddenly turned off and when she did ask him. He said it wasn't possible since he tried to use the computer moments ago.

"We should get that patched up Mr. Klein. It could get infected" Hannah observed the wound on his stomach. It was a small wound but it looked like it really hurts since Mr. Klein's face is slowly becoming pale.
"I should be fine kid. Save those bandages for someone else" Mr. Klein said
"Mr. Klein.....at least do this for Judy? Please?" Hannah pleaded as he looked over towards Judy where she slept in a deep slumber.
"....Alright..."
As Hannah helped patch Mr. Klein up, she wondered where he got the wound from and asked him. He said that a group of people had came in and questioned him then threatened him to give them his supplies. With Judy with him he had no choice but to comply however one of them was crazy enough to run towards him and stab him. They tried getting to Judy too but the group pulled us apart and away from them.
"What the hell?! Not only do we have to deal with those undead monsters but crazy people too?!" Hannah was angry. Why would people kill other people for no reason?!
"Haahhaaha, little bug, I have never seen you so angry before. It's okay, I'm alright now" He smiled placing a comforting arm onto Hannah's.
Just then a crash can be heard from behind, Noah who was holding a cup accidently tripped and broke it. He kept apologizing towards us but we told him it was fine. Perhaps to him it still feels like the world hadn't plunged into this dreadful chaos. It was nice to see once in a while.

They patched up the windows in the room, leaving only a tiny gap so that they would be able to look outside. The three of them sat together planning their next move. Before the signal had went out, Mr. Klein had received a message.
The message mentioned about a new evacuation point which is hundreds of kilometers away from where they were. This time they were going to set up a base where we would be protected by the military. Noah on the other hand had another idea.
"I...don't really think it's safe for us to head there" Noah exclaimed watching the map where they had mapped out a trail.
"Why not?" Mr. Klein was curious whilst looking over at Noah with his arms folded towards his chest.
"I mean think about it, Mr. Klein was stabbed by a random person and who knows what kind of people we meet out there. We have Judy with us and it's just too...risky" Noah was deep in his thoughts while he talked.
"....It's our best shot. It's the only most recent message we have ever received from the military" Hannah exclaimed, going against Noah's words while he threw her a sad look.
"Either ways...it's all up to you Mr. Klein" Hannah continued now looking back towards him, giving him a reassuring smile.
"...I reckon we should go. Our supplies are running out and there's too many of those dead people lurking around" Mr. Klein concluded.
"But-" Before Noah could continue he was cut off with a "End of discussion" by Mr. Klein.
With the meeting coming to a brief stop, Mr. Klein went to check up on Judy. Noah was presumably sulking in his chair as he looked over the map and Hannah left heading towards the pantry to grab a snack.

In a distance a voice could be heard talking.
"Report" a gruff voice said from the other end of the walkie talkie.
"Rats are on the move. 3 days give or take" A man's voice replied, while gazing towards the apartment specifically in one direction.
"Don't make another mistake again or you will be our next target" the voice on the walkie talkie stressed out on every single word.
"...Yes.."
