Chapter Twenty Three
When I opened my lips and grasped for words, Justine peered at me with his penetrating eyes. "Don't just condemn yourself. I misplaced my handgun as well, and you might not have become so preoccupied if I hadn't shrieked. So, if you're going to blame anybody here, it should have been me, you know. I am the main cause we were stranded in a canopy with no food, just one water bottle, and no weaponry at all."
Justine let out a collective sigh. "I just needed to express my gratitude."
"You're meant to chastise me, not thank me," I said to him, frowning.
“No. Thank you for coming to my aid. That was a rapid movement with the sneaker. If you hadn't tossed it when you did, I'd be the main dish at a bad meal."
I unsteadily sniggered; it seemed like a reasonable alternative than sobbing. "There's nothing like laughing in the face of death, is there?" Justine grunted and nodded solemnly aga

“Clementia! Justine! Where are you?”A recognizable echoing not too far from us jolted me awake a couple of minutes later. I blinked my eyes numerous times, wondering how long we had been up here around.Justine sat up upright on his perch. “Peter!”"Where are you, Justine?" that was Ricky’s voice."I'm here up in an oak tree. Seven rotting down the ranks has wedged us down!"There had been a scrambling commotion, and Peter sprang into visibility. He took a gander with one of the weapons he was carrying. He fired the rifle four times, and five of the six rotten has dropped instantaneously. His sixth bullet misses laterally and shattered a piece of the tree's timber, but his seventh penetrated exactly between each of the temples. His last bullet blasted out the underside of the left-standing rotten's cranium and ripped off the remaining rotten's snout.With most of the ro

Peter was looking at me with a look of shock and rage on his expression. I could see he wanted to scream at me, but he could not even, since it would reveal his presence from the shrubbery, something he couldn't manage just now. So Peter merely specifically looked at his weapon, and I tried to shake my head at him without George having o realize it.He can somehow shoot and kill George, but he'd be killed before he could draw the gun anymore. He realized this and relaxed his shoulders, so I'm not afraid about him blasting up the property. He'd choose the optimum timeframe for a confrontation, which wasn't obvious right now or immediately there."Will you let everyone go and survive if I go gladly with you?" My demeanor was sharp when I questioned George.For a brief while, George contemplated my proposal. "Hmm, you are correct. I need women and am prepared to sacrifice for them. If there was anybody else I needed here, it wa

My tongue was parched, and I was suffering from a migraine, so my heart was beating. My respiration was rapid and laborious, and George had just informed me that I was running a temperature.I hadn't discharged any bodily fluids in a long time, which was neither a positive omen nor an indicator that I would withstand this. My system quenches thirst, and I would die horribly in a short span of time due to dehydration and starvation.A quick glance at Diana revealed that she, too, was not going to endure much further. She's become just as reticent as Gigi, but for various reasons. She was delirious as she spoke, and her utterance was stammering.I'm scared she'll end up dying before she can be damaged if she doesn't receive water quickly. But I also understand that George will not allow such a thing. He loved her too much to let her die of dehydration. George drew my attention with a snap of his knuckle

Departing with Justine offered me the opportunity to have a look all around the campground for the first time. It was modest, with just a few dozen improvised tents and weapons and ammunition cache in the middle. We were just a few hundred meters away from the wharf, where Peter and Ricky were waiting for us with our sailboat. Gigi, Diana, and Nicolette were seated in the backseat, although Diana seemed to be awake. She was drinking from a jug of water and really smiled when she saw the two of us.She offered me a bottle of water and looked at Justine down the hill as she assisted me into the canoe. "Is this the guy you started shouting out for last night?"If she wasn't so distant enough from me, I'd ascend over and nudge her. So I just resorted to glaring at her through the bottle. She just shrugged her shoulders and dipped her tears into a can of broth, eating it coldly and quickly, as if she'd never even seen food before. She most likely h

"I'm not convinced why," Diana grumbled. "We may have a real-life situation here. Where else are we going to have to find anything as secure as this though? There won't be any more until we've gotten rid of all the rottens here. We will no longer have to live in continual terror, continuously watching behind our shoulders. What makes you want to forsake that?"I let out a long sigh. “Because…” I had to come to a halt because I didn't know what to say either.Diana is correct: this location has the potential to be ideal. Ricky and Peter could probably clean out the rottens without Justine's assistance if they were cautious enough. Could we reinforce this location? Diana may be correct if we could. We may be able to live a semi-normal lifestyle here."I know what's going on with your mind right now, Clementia," Ricky remarked. "However, I don't believe we should remain here much longer."“What f

When Gigi strolled up to where we had been standing, I smiled at her. "Hey, how are you doing?" I questioned."Very well, I'd say," she said cautiously. "I'm not quite certain why, but when I woke up this morning, something clicked in my head, and I comprehended something. I'm still here. I shouldn't even be here after what I've been through, yet here I am, still with the three people who saved me. I owe you everything."Justine scratched his head. "You owe nothing to us, Gigi.""I do," she was adamant. "I owe you guys so much. You've protected me from George's troops, as well as a swarm of enraged, flesh-eating beasts. I never imagined I'd live this long, much alone with decent human beings like you, when everything began happening to us.""Decent people must stay together, Gigi."She gave a nod. "I understand. And I'm delighted you guys came to see me the same day in town. A lot of people wouldn’t

Justine shook his head and slid through the front seat next to Peter. I got in the backseat with Gigi and Diana, attempting to keep one eye on Barsha at all times. She doesn't say anything the entire drive to the safe place, and instead of holding her head down and sobbing. She appeared significantly younger than thirteen at the time, and I couldn't believe she was going to be dead in the following day or three.The interior of the home was largely ruined, and it appeared to be so much pitch black that it was hard to go about without flashlights. The person who tried to board up the windows did an awesome job since no light passes through the first level. The darkness obscured the blood-drenched flooring in the foyer and the gory streaks on the ceilings and walls.While Peter, Ricky, and Diana searched the top portion of the home, Justine, Gigi, and I remained downstairs with Barsha. Diana then returned a short time later with a clutch of leng

I nodded and let Justine lean on my shoulder. I pulled the doors wide open and assisted him up the stairs to the cottage.The entrance hall interior has hardwood flooring and ceilings, as well as exquisite carpets and brown suede furnishings. A sofa and a futon mattress sat next to a fireplace mantle, with bookcases on each side. The kitchenette was hidden away in the rear corner, including almost new equipment. It was a bit of a shame they won't function without electricity.I walked Justine over to the staircase that begin right behind the sofa. The stairs had thirteen steps, and I had to assist Justine in climbing each one. When we made it to the top, we peered down into the living room beneath through the mahogany balustrade while he caught his breath and composure.Up here, the hallway consists of the following three distinct rooms, all of which were bedrooms. The first features two full-sized bedrooms, the second a king-size
