    Days later, the ten survivors, have gone back to their community to see how are the things in there, how damaged has this community become after the horde attack. When they got closer to the walls of the community, front walls, they see hundreds of corpses laying on the road, most of them killed or eaten by the zombies. A few of these corpses were recognized by the group of ten people.


    "Lydia." says Maria looking with tears in her eyes, at the mauled corpse of one of the girls who were kidnapped by the group of Liberators.


    "Elena." says Vasil looking at an old lady body, who her entire torso is eaten, bones of her torso going through the skin.


    The survivors enter the community, they see a bunch of zombie corpses on the roads, all of them have been killed or eaten by the zombies. And the buildings of this community, were in disaster. Some of them have collapsed, burnt to the ground or partially, abandoned and filled with corpses of decayed zombies.


    The entire group are walking to the abandoned tents, who were all used by military and The Organization to do their things. All of the tents were emptied by the military equipment such as radios stations, laptops, monitors, keyboards, and even walkie-talkies. Even with these stuffs gone, the squad of ten people can still make this community work.


    Cafeteria was like the other places the group have checked so far, countless zombies corpses, and a lot of stenches from decayed bodies on the airs. But they noticed the kitchen room, had all of the fridges filled with fresh food such as vegetables, fruits, milk, who has now aged like any natural dairy product, meat that is still consumable and many more foods like candies. They also found a lot of water, beverages and kitchen equipment in the shelves, all looking to be in a good state. Even if it has passed like four days since the invasion.


    Continuing their exploring, the group of ten people, have found an only survivor of this whole invasion. Who has locked himself in the room? Petre has convinced the man to open the door, but the man did not want it, stating that it will be better to be left alone in there since he was bitten.


    "How long have you been bitten?" asks Petre sounding shocked.


    The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    "Like three days ago…" says the person in a male voice locked in a house bedroom.


    "Oh my god." says Petre sounding worried. "How is your skin?"


    "A little blue with green, I think." says the person.


    "Y-You are an undead."


    "A what?" asks the person.


    "An undead." says Petre sounding happy. "Y-You can control zombies."


    "I can what?!" asks the survivor sounding astonished. "H-How do you know?"


    "Listen. This may sound weird, but I once meet a girl who has become an undead. She was stationed on one of the habituated islands from Greece. now, all I know, is a member of a soldier''s squad, who is stationed on a safe zone in Bilbao, Spain, from all I can remember. But I heard rumours, on how she can control zombies and infiltrate into their hordes."


    "Really?" asks the person in there, sounding more relived than before. "Y-You sure?"


    "Can you open the door?" asks Petre.


    The door is opened by the person who has been locked in there. The man is a half-naked one, his skin looking to be in a green-blue colour, veins being shown on the hands and on the bodies. This said person is having a missing eye, wearing an eyepatch on the missing eye. A zombie bite in the left low body zone and another bite mark, on the right arm, near the wrist.


    "Adrian?" asks Petre surprised. "Y-You weren''t taken by them?"


    "Petre?" asks Adrian surprised as well. "They told all of us you have been missing."


    "So, you have stayed in here to protect the people?"


    "We… We were many soldiers in here." says Adrian sounding sad. "But many… Have been killed. Many poor bastards have been eaten by these deadly creatures. Some have been running away from the community, while others have tried their best to escort the best ones out to safety. Only I have remained in here. Locked myself in here, waiting for the transformation to take effect."


    "But now you are immune." says Theodor.


    "He is." says Petre. "As long as he doesn''t eat any zombie brains or meat to become fully zombie."


    A pause follows, then Petre adds to make some context for the group of the survivors.


    "I know this from the researchers who have investigated this said undead."


    "Now what are we doing?" asks Petre to the group.


    "We''ll clean the place." says Petre to the group of people.


    "And we will move back in here." says Gancea.


    "Only this time. We will be on our own." says Petre. "First. We take the bodies off from here. Put them outside and burn all of them. Then, we are restructuring the walls to make them safer, and from there. we see what can we do."


    "What about The Organization?" asks Adrian.


    "We''ll ignore their help." says Petre to Adrian. "We are on our own."


    And on this day, the community of Valea Iasului, which will be known in the future in the maps by the name of "Community for the Forgotten", will be reborn into something much greater than it was before the said Organization has done on these past months.
