Reaching the barrier that was bathed in green bug ooze, Nikos raised his head over it, behind it was a group of 10 people that was being led by a man dressed in a military uniform, but that wasn’t the think jumping out from him, it was the two handed long sword in his side.


    <what’s up> Gianni’s asked then he smiled and said <don’t wait outside with the bugs come in> but Nikos couldn’t understand why Gianni’s wasn’t even a tiny bit worried about the man with the sword.


    <ah hell nothing much just come from the outskirts, saved some people killed 9 bugs, nothing much> said the male in the military uniform while pointing in his sword.


    The group of people following him where a random arrangement of people from all the walks of life, more exact from age of 30 to 8 years old, unarmed with no baggage that most people that come to them always had. Getting all the people up to the barrier Nikos leads them to the supermarket where the cooking group where located. some people had started eating, they had some pieces of steak that were between burned and rare on the side they had a piece of bread and that was placed on a flimsy plastic plate. The group was still cooking the second portion of meat that Nikos had made them cook. looking around he sees that people didn’t have anywhere to sit and most of them were sitting under trees and using the ground as a table, looking back at the new people he says <ok guys take a plate and eat up> they were wary but with a bit of push, they started eating. Looking around Nikos saw people eating with a lighter mood some face where brighter than they were this morning, all the guards from the first shift were awake and talking to each other of how shitty their night was, while some people from the building group laid on the grass not able to lift their arms, but the thing that brightens the atmosphere more was the kid playing tag making you almost forget the dire situation that was present. But he didn’t have enough time to relax, after the break he took to check his wounds, now he had to give them water and he had to be careful of how to do it, he got some plastic cups and filled them with water giving only one cup every person so the water not be wasted , some asked for second but he had to deny them us kindle us he could but they were still disappointed.


    Finishing feeding the people Nikos waited while cleaning the trash for the cooks to finish. But it was looking like it would take some time to finish cooking and Nikos could not stay still so he decided to check the workers in the building. Reaching the built Nikos heard the sound of the workers in the final four entering inside it he notice the work on most doors in the first flours where like drove a car through them they were mostly pieces, but when he climbing the flours he notices that the doors look better and better. Then he reached the final four where team of people where breaking in the two final doors, Nikos waited for them to finish, they used the hammers to heat where the lock was until something gave that was the door and not the iron frame finishing the final door Nikos approached the team <it seems like you have finished> Nikos said taking a look inside the empty apartment, it was split into two rooms with a door, the first would have been the waiting room and the next one would have been the office, but it was empty pointing that it wasn’t yet been leased, <yes it was kind of difficult because all the doors made of aluminum but a little trial and error we got the hang of it> the man that spoke was a big male he was probably the biggest in size survivor that was here he had his hair shaven and probably was at his late 20 he remembered him clearly because they were planning to make him guard but then realize they realized his probable phobia of bugs <ok what was your name again> asked Nikos the man expression saddened he probably had told his name and Nikos forgot it <its Michael> making note in his brain to not forget it again Nikos says <ah yes mine is Nikos. What did you find in here anything interesting> Michael face frowned while thinking and said <nothing interesting couches chairs desks and computers nothing else right guys> he said while turning back to the team for affirmation <ok if that’s all but unfortunately you haven’t finish take everything that is not a couch and someone can lay on it and deposited it down the street of this building> making a serious face Michael said <yes we will begin immediately>.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author.

    Finishing talking with Michael Nikos went back to the cooking group who had finish cooking the meat and were lay in the wall of the supermarket building, <I see you have finished cooking the food> looking at the four people that were 3 females and a male Dannay turns her head that was red and filled with sweat from the heat and says <yes 15 minutes ago were are cooling down now> nodding will hearing that Nikos said


    Dannay expression changed from one of tiredness to one of acceptance <ahh what is it again> giving her one of the few smile he had left he says <don’t worry it the final job for today the only thing you have to do all the meat that you have left accepted the chicken and turkey will go down where there are boxes that will be filled with salt and the meat more or less we will try to salt the meat it can fail but it can succeed to> taking a look to make sure that they are hear him he continues <of course this is the last job for today so get going> picking themselves up with grunts and complaining the cooks start the job that he had put them, but when he was going to help them out he is stop by someone saying <you are Nikos right> when he turns around he sees the man in military uniform <yes I am what do you want>, fixing his short black hair with his hand he says <I wasn’t able to eat and Gianni’s sent me to you to give me something to eat>thinking about it, he was pretty sure that the man hadn’t eaten any think today <ok I can get you some think follow me>, walking to storage underground the two people didn’t share a word getting the cooked meat that was store he gives him to piece of meat and then he fills him a plastic cup of water <ok that’s all> the male looked at it and asked <isn’t it a bit little> he surged and said <we have to keep some supplies if we don’t want to die> the man was taken back <you are a little blunt, die that was kind of sudden ah yes I haven’t told my name it is Antony>, but he didn’t ask for more and started eating. When he finish eating Nikos decided to ask <where did you find this sword> cleaning his mouth with his hand Antony said <it’s a replica from game of thrones ice I had it and decided to use it> accepting his answer with a nod he continued <how you dealt with so many bugs one bug for most people is certain death> he gave a sad smile and said <yes I know how deadly they are but if you are fast and ready with a heavy weapon you can smash their heads before they attack you, ah and I saw your shields you created they pretty smart> again Nikos nodded he didn’t want to much talk today he was stressed the only reason he talked was so it wasn’t so awkward but he had finished eating and all the jobs for today were almost finished so he left for his spot under the tree to waited for the night meal.
