    Meanwhile, at almost fifty kilometres from the Base of the Army Squad had made a big camp for survivors who are coming at them and deliver to their safety, a small group of survivors is walking on the road blocked with cars and military vehicle for a car to be in a good shape and sustain six people. Sigurd is checking the interior of a Chevrolet car and notices at the key place a disappointment. The key is broken and in the car is a zombie, driver seat, tied with three safety belts.


    Sigurd leaves the car and searches for another one. Charly and Charlotte are joining Sigurd, who is looking at a pickup truck, who it seems has every single window and window shield broken.


    "Found something good?" asks Charly to Sigurd who is looking disappointed at the pickup truck.


    "Nothing." says Sigurd almost spooked by the twin''s sudden appearances. "Have you saw something good to work?" he looks at them.


    "Nothing." says Charlotte. "There is nothing like a carriage here working."


    "Hey, um. Are you two still role-playing as Vikings?" asks Sigurd.


    "Sometimes." says Charlotte in her normal voice. "It helps us ease the mind and make us feel more focused on killing these zombies as you call it, or as we call it, lost souls."


    "Lost souls." says Charly seeing four zombies approaching their direction.


    Charly and Charlotte did not think much of this. They take their weapons and slain these foul beasts. Charlotte used her big axe to cut a zombie in half horizontally, while Charly cuts the head off a zombie, and stabs the other zombie that was coming at him. The stab was so strong, the longsword pierced the head of the beast, and detaches from the body. Charlotte sees the last zombie walking to her, and like always, without much pressure, she decapitates the thing with her gigantic head, and stomps the head with her big boots.


    "We should hurry up." says Sigurd to the twins who are clearing their weapons.


    Charlotte cleans the blade of the axe with something that resembles a towel, while Charly, only takes the head of that zombie off from his precious longsword. The twins observe Sigurd is walking to the other members of this small group of survivors.


    "No luck, huh?" asks Artur to Sigurd.


    "No." says Sigurd.

    "Same to us." says Artur disappointed. "All of these cars from here are unable to start. Almost all of them are with dead batteries, damaged, or with damaged wheels."


    "What should we do. sister?" asks Edla looking around and holding the baseball bat she always carries with a strong grip.


    "I don''t know." says Ebba to Edla. "But we will arrive at the location. One way or another."


    "Dead souls!" says Charlotte seeing a few zombies coming from the left side, all walking at a fast speed.


    The team of six people sees the zombies coming. Instead of attacking, they run away from the wave, to the nearest house they can find and hide in there until the things will calm down. The survivors couldn''t face the hundreds of these creatures because of the fact there are cars who might have an alarm system that can be turned on even if you touch the car by mistake. One touch of that car and the zombies will be alerted and march at the source of the noise.


    The six people have stopped in front of a building that resembled a store. a small store where drivers who were coming on vacation, or for truckers who wanted to grab something to munch on their car with wheels and trailer.


    The people enter the building. At first glance, nobody is there, which is good. But they couldn''t stay still because they have to block the windows and the doors with something sturdy and hard to break. And so, the survivors have started to take almost every furniture piece and tries to block the doors. While Edla and Ebba, are covering windows with tape and Playboy magazines. They finish this security measure at a fast speed. And they successfully did not attract any zombie to their location.


    "We are safe." says Sigurd looking at the door blocked y furniture piece and the windows being covered with female nude photos.


    "Such a disgrace." says Charly on his Viking role seeing the windows filled with nude females photos.


    "I agree, brother Charly." says Charlotte, also dealing disgusted by these photos.


    The other survivors did not comment on this, they just stay somewhere and waits for the time when the wave of zombies will be reduced to a minimum number to make them escape, or even to zero. But Sigurd thought this would not work, so he looks at the interior of the place, and he notices the store being complete empty and resembling a store in a zombie apocalypse.


    Ebba, stays next to her sister, she looks worried at the floor, while she holds the baseball bat in her hands. Before she could say something, she hears something breaking. She turned to that direction, she observes Charly breaking a locked shelf with his sword, takes from there a few boxes that contains medicine.


    "Anyone needs some paracetamol?" asks Charly holding at least twenty small boxes with medicine. He looks at a few more of these boxes. "Nurofen? Aspirins? Pregnancy pills? Pregnancy tests? Anything?"


    "Nah. We are good." says Artur to Charly.


    "No, thanks." says Edla.


    "Yeah. We are fine…" lies Ebba.


    "Okay." responds Charly. "Suits yourself then." he puts them into his backpack.


    Charlotte approaches her twin brother.


    "These will come in handy at our base, sister."


    "Great thinking." says Charlotte. "We always run low on medicine because of the injuries we get from duel."


    "You guys fight each other there?" asks Sigurd after he bring a plastic chair from the backside of the store.


    The whole group of survivors sits in a circle, enjoying this lockdown which will be not last too long. They have to stay hidden because of the zombies waves that has come.
