Chapter 36: Something was needed to be done anyway
I told them about the increased strength of humans along with the theory of zombie genes; they didn't believe me.
I asked Alex to show them a 'bit' of his power which he did, they couldn't believe their eyes.
I told them that I could help them gain that power, they couldn't believe their ears.
I then threatened them that if they told anyone else about it, I won't hesitate to kill them, they gulped audibly at my words.
All in all, I told them how the cores were 'helping' the humans to get stronger, also how if done in excess, it can eventfully turn them into zombies before they could take over the zombie genes.
"Since you are telling us all this… there must be a catch to it too?" George asked as he looked at me with cautious eyes and I nodded,"yeah there is. Actually, we can fight the zombies more or less if they are scattered and not clumped together. So I was thinking of planning to place obstacles in between to slow them down, so that we can kill as many as possible, evidently killing all of them sooner or later.
But what I want is more people to join us, helping us out, thinning them out. Like a person per room with the upper part of the main door broken and the person inside shouting and attracting the zombies?
That would be really helpful, you know?"
George gulped as he heard my plan. Honestly, it wasn't that bad of a plan because I feel like we will succeed by the end and no one will have to die. Though making others believe that would be really hard.
"That would be hard… honestly… it sounds impossible. No one would be foolish or brave enough to make themself a bait here," Adam spoke as he observed me and I nodded before speaking,"that is why we will be forcing them. The 35th floor has 12 apartments, 6 on each side. We will need at least 12 people, or even better 24 people, to do that work."
Everyone looked at me as if I were a madman and honestly, they weren't really convinced that this plan would work but…
"Okay… it's not like we have enough food to survive any more days," George spoke with a dejected tone as he looked at me with a stare that felt like he was more or less betrayed.
"Will we survive in the end?" he asked with a hopeless voice as he looked at me and I casually nodded as I patted his shoulders,"I will try to save as many as I can."
I gave him a small smile before speaking,"let's hurry up then. I want to start as soon as possible. Alex. White. Caroline. You guys get ready as well," and then moved out of the apartment, glancing at the dumbfounded faces of everyone there.
"Wait a sec! You mean now?!" George asked, a bit freaked out, and I made a confused expression as I asked,"when do you want then? After the zombies break into the 35th floor?"
After that…
"What are you doing?!!! WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME??!!! HEY!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!! I WILL KILL YOU!!!"
"Don't touch me! Stay away! You monsters!!!! Don't you have any humanity left in you?!!!!!"
"F*CK! F*CK! F*CK! F*CK!"
"Momma!!! Awaaa!! Momma!!!"
"STAY AWAY FROM MY SON!!! WHERE ARE YOU TAKING HIM!!! WHERE IS MY SON??!!!!"
"George!!! I TOLD YOU THAT WE SHOULDN'T TRUST THEM!!! We can still think about it, George!! Listen to me! George, listen to me…."
"YOU MONSTERS!!!"
"I WILL KILL YOU!!!"
…
Soon enough, we placed everyone in the apartments and when I said everyone; I meant all 51 people and not just 24. We kept 4-5 people in each apartment at a time cause… it was better this way than to leave someone up there and let them do something stupid.
-Clap!
-Clap!
I clapped twice loudly, and everybody turned quite at once. It was nice; the silence was nice.
"We are going to remove the barricade holding the zombies. Reason is that it is almost going to break in a day or two. So we have decided to open the gate now, kill as many as we can and then move down one step at a time before locking the door one floor down.
The reason why we had put you in your respective apartments is that we want you to attract some zombies towards you to make it easier for us to kill the zombies barging towards us.
Now, coward and pathetic as you are, I know that you guys would rather stay up than to join the good cause, so I had personally decided to make you work for us, for all the food we have given you.
In any case, once we are done on this floor, we can let you go before we proceed to move down.
Does anyone have any questions?" As I spoke that, a strange silence ensued on the whole floor and I kind of waited if there was anyone there to ask any question.
"Why do we need to sacrifice ourselves for your survival?" a feminine voice came from one of the apartments and I answered politely,"because you are weak and we are strong. In any case, I will try to save all of you, but if you die, then that's on you, cause this whole thing was going to happen in a few days, anyway." Speaking that, I looked at George, Blake and my own team and moved towards the barricaded gate. Since I was the one who devised the whole plan, naturally I should be the one to take charge of the most dangerous work.
"You guys move up, we will start killing them from one floor up," I spoke as I looked at them and all of them nodded before moving up as they kept peeking in my direction every other time.
And once they were gone,
'Let's collect some zombie Exp… it has been sometime I farmed some of them.'

"Since you are telling us all this… there must be a catch to it too?" George asked as he looked at me with cautions eyes and I nodded,"yeah there is. Actually, we can fight the Zombies more or less if they are scattered and not bound together. So I was thinking of planning to place obstacles in between to slow them down, so that we can kill as many as possible, evidently killing all of them sooner or later.
But I wanted more people to be with us, helping us out, thinning them out. Like a person per room with the upper part of the main door broken and the person inside shouting and attracting zombies?
