Later this day, at the Lagos Airport, also known by the full name by the locals as Murtala Muhammed International Airport, is a big airport that was built around Second world War by the man by the name of Murtala Muhammed, who was known as the fourth military ruler of Nigeria. This airport was back in the day owned by Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and it was public, now it is filled with corpses, creatures like zombies and the entire airport is on fire.
The jeep who carried about six people are stopping in front of the airport gates, who are completely broken. The driver of the vehicle, together with the other survivors are looking in shock at the barrier who was easily shattered by the invasion of the zombies that had taken place. Malcom, looks around, and instead of saying something, he accelerates and enters the area of the airport, driving on the airplane lanes. This could have been illegal to cross, but now, the apocalypse has started and everything is in ruin, the things don''t matter anymore, even killing someone would never put you in jail.
The jeep is going fast speed until he arrives at a hangar, and there, the people are getting off the car, and they see over there a plane, that can still work. Malcom is running to the plane with Remy, while the others are back, near the jeep, worried about the two people.
Malcom was about to open the plane door, but then, he hears a growling noise from his left. The man turns around, he bashes the thing head with the axe was holding on the other head, hitting the head pretty hard, and making him not move nor twitch anymore. After he has done the lethal hit, he tries to open the plane door but he notices it is locked.
"Dammit!"
"What''s the matter?" asks Remy toward Malcom.
"This thing''s locked." says Malcom pissed off. "And like hijacking a plane is not like a car."
"Dammit." says Remy. "So. are we leaving it like that?"
"None of us are having a pilot license." says Malcom, he looks at the planes and airplane lanes. "Plus, this place is a total mess. The soldiers from this place have most likely gone away from here." he looks at the building that was used to control the aeroplanes communications and their road, he sees it on fire. He looks over the building where people are coming in there to take their plane tickets to travel around the world or stay in here with hours or even days for a plane to take them across the continent. "The whole place is on fire. And I don''t think we have any communication to the military, besides their second option."

"So, are you going to take the second option?" asks Remy scared. "You wanted to travel all the way to… the dock?"
"There is no other choice."
"How about the port?" asks Tina coming over to the two males who are speaking Nigerian. "…heard a port must be here nearby. Maybe we can take our chances."
"Should we go there?" asks Remy toward Malcom, who seems to be the leader of this group. "I mean, the port must a better idea than going all the way to the other side of Africa."
"Other side?" asks Tina toward Malcom. "What do you mean?"
"You know there is an island by the name of Kinshina. Ever heard of it?"
"No." reply Tina.
"It is very far from here. At about thousands of kilometres from here. Probably the safest way to arrive there would be by boat. And I think Lagos International Port would be our solution. Now where is it?"
"Heard of it." replies Tina because that question was addressed to her and not to Remy. "Do you think there would be a ship?"
"Only one way to find out." replies Malcom who is going to the jeep, then Remy and Tina are following him to the jeep.
As the people are walking toward the jeep, they see a few dozens of zombies approaching the hangar gates. They get quickly in the jeep, and Malcom, going back to the driver seat, he steps on the gas. He let Zeny, who is at the mounted machine gun do his thing, and by his thing is to kill the zombies who are coming after them. The madman killed about hundreds of zombies with the machine gun as the jeep was driving off from the Airport while was trying to avoid blockages and a helicopter who was close to crash on them. Thankfully, that helicopter crashed missed them by almost two hundred meters and it did not explode on the impact, it explodes after three seconds, killing the potential survivors of that helicopter.
"Poor people…" says Ana looking at the window in English looking at the crashed helicopter.
"Ana." says Tina in English toward Ana, concerned to her behaviour. "Are you alright?"
"I am." replies Ana to Tina. "By the way, where are we going?"
"To Lagos Port Complex." replies Ana to Tina, then he tells in Nigerian to the passenger their new destination, which even Zeny, who was busy looking around for the zombies approaching and reloading the machine gun.
"How far is that?" asks the passenger, Ga, to Malcom.
"About twenty kilometres." replies Malcom driving the jeep and avoiding any blockage consists of a zombie, stingers or a few birded wires who got destroyed by the hordes of these monsters.
"It''ll be an hour, sir."
"We have to risk it!" says Malcom to Ga. "Our choice."
The man sees a blockage that is blocking the entire road, so he takes a turn and drives a said "shortcut" that will make them late by at least one minute. As the journey was going by, the group only saw hordes of zombies eating human corpses, running around, standing still, climbing the buildings or resting on the ground. They''ve also encountered destruction, humans who were running away and were trying to fight zombies by they failed miserably. Like a teenager who was trying to kill a zombie with a normal brick, but five jumped on him and ate him alive. Ana saw this and was about to faint again.
"Be strong." said Tina at that moment.
"I will." replies Ana trying to act strong, but Tian can feel her whole body shaking.
"Why did this happened?" asks Tina to herself looking at the building they are passing by who is on fire and is falling down.
