Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Departure from East District

Just like what she said, after she exited the Evans's villa, she went straight into driving her SUV and was followed by Eagle's armored car.

Noticing the influx of zombies around the gate, she put out her arm on the window and signaled to stop. When the convoy was at a complete stop, Hawk came forward and stood beside her window. "Should I send Sparrow and Vulture out?"

Satisfied. She nodded and added. "Yes."

"This is a good chance for them to practice their control and stabilize the energy inside their body after awakening." She thought

Understanding the mission issued. He bowed respectfully and sent the two out and he went back in the passenger seat. "When do you think we will awaken?" He asked enviously at Eagle.

"I don't know too, but I'm excited to know what's my ability."

The two guys sounded gossipy but before they could continue, they noticed that they had a long car lined up. Even Kisha saw the long line from the side mirror of the car.

The car at the back saw Hawk's people going out of their vehicle but couldn't see far out because of all the cars, but most of them already come to the conclusion that they must be dealing with the zombies.

On the third line that's behind Eagle's car is the Land Rover Defender in matt black that is being driven by Eric, seated inside are Melody, Emma, and Edward. Followed by Ethan's military truck with his two brothers.

The fifth was a Mercedes-Benz G-class in matt green and a Porsche Cayenne Coupe in gray, both drivers and passengers are all the remaining servants and bodyguards of the Evans.

There are eight cars in total and only one family decided to remain in the district. Two cars from the very back are a Maserati Quattroporte and a BMW i7 in silver and white.

These are all expensive cars, even Kisha is driving a Genesis GV80 in matt black and Duke's armored car is a customized bulletproof armored car which is more expensive than any of the cars lined up together.

She only admired it for a moment, in a while most of it would turn into junk anyway.

She then pulled out the map from her inventory to recheck all the possible routes just in case. It was a two-hour ride to reach the outskirts in normal circumstances but in their case, the time will be doubled to secure their safety.

"Keith put more gas in the tank. We might not have time to do so later, just to be sure." She gestured to Keith to go as she kept the map again.

"Okay." He cheerfully complied.

Seeing their action, Eric understood what his sister was thinking, pulled the only gas container he had, and made sure that their gas was full. Ethan also always made sure that his spare fuel container was full as a habit, so he used it to fill up his tank too.

The others didn't do anything unlike them, first, it was because they didn't have spare fuel, second, they didn't think much of the danger as they trusted their numbers and the mobility of the car.

The people in the last two cars think that the two cars leading are enough to be their meatshields to block all incoming zombies and they just need to follow. So they were cool as cucumber.

Not long after, Vulture gave a signal and Kisha started the engine and drove off. Eagle remained in his position and motioned to Eric who was behind him to move ahead and others followed.

They opened the gate, naturally, they have to be the ones to close it. Everyone in the district seems to be too afraid to go out. Eagle and the others can't just leave the gate open and harm the people inside. Do they? Even if the people got in trouble eventually, it would not be their fault anymore. Their conscience is clear.

Kisha was also thinking of this, she knew that Duke's people would not wantonly cause harm to others without good reason so she trusted that they would stay behind to close the gate.

She knew they were ruthless but that was only to their enemies, they never went out to provoke other people or use their strength to bully others. This is what she likes about Duke, they have the same Philosophy, maybe not all but most.

She sped up into the street, and even though Vulture and Sparrow cleared the perimeter around the gate, there were still incoming zombies so she rammed into them, their vehicle would shake every time she ran over a zombie and it would go under.

From time to time it will fly over or crash into the windshield which creates a huge crack on it.

But it was mostly on Duke's side, Kisha did her best to avoid getting her side smashed by the impact so she could still see the road clearly. Duke took a quick glance at her, thinking that she was doing it on purpose but he couldn't remember offending her.

"Did I?" He asked himself.

His side not only had a huge crack on it, but it was also even dripping with thick coagulated black blood, and there was some flesh stuck on the windshield wiper, and worse, some brain membranes were smeared on the windshield. Even though he doesn't have OCD, the sight is still repulsive for him. He resentfully peeks at Kisha's face.

Kisha noticed it but acted as if she did not give a penny, but in fact, she was actually enjoying his reaction. If she could, she would really tease him but the situation is not proper, right now.

The farther she gets from the gate, the denser the zombie's number gets. She sped up again after she saw that Eagle was slowly catching up from the back.

The side mirror on Duke's side got smashed as Kisha swerved a little on the road.

Duke really wanted to complain, like an aggrieved wife who was being bullied but he didn't know how to. He could only hold to the overhead handle and not overly concern himself with what he was seeing.

On the other car, Melody is already starting to get on Eric's nerves as she keeps fussing over the splattering of blood on the windshield and her side of the window.

She was even horror-stricken because of the eyeball that was hanging on the side mirror beside her.

Emma was also scared but she was not as fussy as Melody, she still tried to calm down her daughter but Melody wouldn't listen and continued to scream. It was torture for Eric who needed to focus on driving.

Melody's screaming would startle him from time to time. The pressure doubled because of her, he almost drove south and got stuck in the middle of the flock.

Unfortunately, the white BMW i7 was a little low, so when it ran over a zombie, a part of its body got stuck on the bumper and the vehicle's speed reduced a lot, many of the surrounding zombies caught up to them until it was swarmed around by the zombies.

The driver couldn't see where he was going, and it got harder to control the wheels, coupled with his anxiousness he stepped on the gas pedal hard which led them to almost crash into Eric's car, luckily, Eric evaded it in time but the white BMW i7 crashed into the flock of zombies.

The white car pulled the agro from Eric, so Eric took advantage of it and drove away as quickly as he could.

He and his family saw how the car was besieged. As the zombies did not feel the pain, they struck the windshield and glass windows with their bare hands or body.

Before the car completely vanished from their sight, they saw the zombies breaking the windshield and crowding the car. The people inside screamed their lungs out for Eric's family to stop and save them, and a gut-wrenching scream soon followed.

Eric and his family knew better, they couldn't do anything at this point. This is the danger Kisha warned them of.

Seeing the horrifying ending their family friend had, Melody screamed in panic.

This ticked Eric off and shouted at Melody. "Shut up! If you don't want to end up like them, then keep your mouth shut and let me focus on driving!"

She covered her mouth with both hands, holding back tears. Only then did Eric let out a sigh of relief, as if a huge burden was lifted from his shoulder.

His mother, although she is filled with fear, chose to silently hold onto her husband's hand but did not look away and made sure to take everything in.
