    A few hours later, a big explosion noise that was so strong, it awakes Tina, who slept for a while. The girl, seeing all of this wasn''t a dream, and by that it means the dead corpses of her co-workers on the floor. The girl goes over the window, checks the window and she see a truck with a few survivors Africans, who have stopped in front of this zone, especially in the parking lot of the building, not because it wouldn''t matter, but because the driver wanted to be a little respectable towards the zombies.


    From that small truck, three survivors are getting off from there, all armed with guns and machetes. Tina observes the people are looking at the doors, and before you know it, they shoot the creatures at the door, who were somehow still trying to break in, not realizing there are countless broken windows only here. All the two survivors are running inside the building.


    Tina leaves from the window, she is afraid of what will happen to her if the survivors would be turning out to be smugglers. She is having all sorts of dreadful imagination dreams that would happen to her if she would be held captured by them. The girl is afraid of this, but, she will later realize these people are not the normal traffickers of Africa, they are her and her friend salvation.


    After almost a minute, a knock is heard on the door. That knock was loud enough to even wake up her friend, Ana, who was fading into unconsciousness because of the blood phobia she possesses since childhood. Ana had this phobia because of a bad memory about her poor baby dog who died in a tragic accident caused by her own Father who was backing up from the garage and ran over his poor body while he was sleeping. Such a tragic event, but this would not compare to what is happening today. The people who knock on the door, are saying to the other side.


    "Is there anyone?" he asks in Nigerian, language that thankfully, only Tina knows to speak it fluently.


    "Yes." responds Tina in Nigerian. "We are here. Alive."


    "Are you infected?" asks the same voice.


    "No." says Tina approaching the door, and was about to take out the furniture she used it to lock the door from the other side. "Who are you?"


    "We are a group of survivors who got sent here by the Military to retrieve a few documents." says the same person. "They do not tell us which ones, but they are probably referring to the things outside. Now, would you open the door, please?"


    "How can I be sure I trust you?" asks Tina in Nigerian.


    "Look. We are not here to do any harm to you. We have come here with a mission. And you are probably the only key. Now, hurry up an open the door! This place would collapse anytime!"

    The woman, still not being sure about this, she decides to open the door to let the survivors coming in. The moment the two survivors come into the room, they looked around, having axes and baseball bats in their arms, rather than guns or anything that can help them kill zombies from distance.


    "What are your names?" asks Tina to the two Africans.


    "My name is Malcom!" responds the survivor wielding a firefighter axe. "And the guy over here is Ga."


    "Hello!" says the survivor by the name of Ga to Tina.


    Both of these survivors are a bit surprised to see the woman here wasn''t African just like them. They were one hundred percentage certain that the remaining people in this room are by chance the same nationality as them due to the fact they speak a fluent Nigerian. Anyway, the guy by the name of Malcom, asks Tina another question, after he told her about the other two survivors, Zeny and Romy who are in the jeep outside.


    "Where are the documents about this virus?"


    "Virus?" asks Tina concerned, then she says to him. "You mean Z Project?"


    "Whatever the name is, I need that document for the military." says Malcom, and he shows to the woman a dog tag from Military of Africa. "Now you believe me?"


    "Y-Yes."


    "Then let''s move." says Malcom seeing Ana taking a brown laptop from her desk and handing it to Malcom. "What is this?"


    "All the important files are in there. All containing the Z Project." she goes over to another desk, where she takes a pipe in her hands. "I am coming with you."


    "Of course." says Malcom to Tina, then he sees Ana, who is still sleeping. "What about her?"


    "She fainted."


    "Then wake her up. We have to go, now!"


    Malcom and Ga, hearing the footsteps and specific growls of zombies, they left the Tina over there to wake up the other researcher. They kill the zombies from the hallway by bashing their heads with their melee weapons. Tina goes over to Ana, she moves her, she slaps her face slow, and tells her to "Wake up!".


    Thankfully, Ana wakes up, and she sees Tina, who tells her they have to go because the rescue has come for them. Ana gets up from her seat, and she goes together with Tina and the other two survivors downstairs. As they descend the stairs, they face about three zombies who were trying to go to them, but Malcom and Ga, were putting them down to their misery by hitting their heads with their weapons.


    As they got to the ground floor, all the four people are running toward the jeep where the other two survivors, also Africans wearing soldier armours, unlike Malcom and Ga who are wearing t-shirts with dog tags and camo cargo pants, looking more like mercenaries than soldiers. The other two survivors, are taking zombies down by using their guns, which are AK''s.


    "We gotta move!" says Zeny to Rony.


    "Just a second!" says Rony after he bashed the head of a zombie with a hammer, and he runs to the jeep.


    Rony goes to the driver seats, while Zeny, decides to go to the mounted machine gun on the backside of the military jeep. The jeep can be described as one that presents five seats, plus a big truck that is specific to those jeeps made by the company Chevrolet and where Americans from rural zones are using it to farm or to delivery. Anyway, the jeep has a machine gun mounted on the backside, where are also five boxes with ammo for the jeep.


    The driver backs the jeep from the parking spot until he can turn around. After the driver made a successfully turned, he drives ahead to the nearest stop where Malcom explained to the two researchers in the car there is a plane waiting for them. He also told them that plane is in Lagos and are waiting for them. While the jeep continues to move ahead, the gunner on the backside of the jeep, is killing every zombie that is in proximity with the jeep.
