    Minutes later, on a guest room on this hotel, who have been made to be some sort of medical examination room, our survivors are coming for a quick check-up. This room features three beds that are used as for the survivor''s examination, a desk where a few medical equipment such as medicine, bandages, syringes, tubes and many other things like this. On this room there is only one soldier, and three doctors who look to be locals of this area. Together with these staff members is a person, a woman in her twenties.


    "The reports said you smoke regularly."


    "That is true." says the woman staying on the side of the bed, looking at the doctor.


    That doctor sits on the chair next to the bed where the patient is. He looks through the medical files he found on the hospital he was working on. On the desk there are many other files like this one, all stored into an open box, taken by the medical staff. The doctor looked at the patient at the bed.


    "Have you had any sudden pain in certain areas of your body?"


    "Like?" asks the woman sounding worried, then she points with her finger on where is the lungs supposed to be located. "Here?"


    "Your heart?"


    "Yes." says the woman after a while.


    "Well. That is what I was worried about." says the doctor, and he glances over to a soldier.


    The soldier sighs and takes out his handgun from the holder of his right wrist. The soldier aims his gun on the head of the patient, where the patient screams and backs way before the soldier was about to pull the trigger of the gun.


    "Are you going to kill me?!" says the woman scared, backing away to the edge of the wall.


    "Yes." responds the soldier. "You are already infected with Z virus."


    "Z virus?" asks the woman.


    "The virus that transforms the human into a meat-eating monster. Like those in the media."


    "No. I am not infected." responds the woman scared, waving her hands up.


    But the soldier did not comment further, he aims the handgun to the head of the woman and shoot her head. Thankfully, the gun had his silencer on, which hasn''t made much noise to alert the other survivors and put fears into them. The death of this woman was nothing new to the doctors and to the soldier who is wearing the armour suit logo of "The Organization", the soldier takes off the body of the woman and throws the body in the bathroom, where other seven bodies of humans are laying in a bathtub.


    "Eight." says the doctor, staying on the chair and writes something on the clipboard where the file of the woman was. "Next person, please."

    "Tahir A." says the soldier who threw that body into the bathtub, taking from that desk another paper, and hands it to the doctor who is looking through it.


    "I know this guy." says the doctor, looking happy at the paper. "He was the one I hired three weeks ago to sing at my daughter party."


    "Really?"


    "Yeah. He is a bad singer, but my daughter liked the performance he did there."


    "Alright." responds the soldier, leaving the room and go after the man who just came here earlier with a squad of other two people.


    Tahir gets brought into this room by the soldier, who is telling him to strip up his clothes. He does as he is told, and takes out his shirt with blood marks on it, to reveal he is having a body with no bites and no marks. Then, the doctor tells him to take off his pants to see if he got any bite or infection on the legs. Tahir does this, and when the doctor saw there was nothing there, he is writing on the paper.


    "Good. You smoke?"


    "No." says Tahir to the doctor.


    "Drugs?"


    "No." responds Tahir right away.


    "Alcohol?"


    "Regularly."


    "How regularly?"


    "One to two beers a week or so." says Tahir to the doctor, sounding sincere.


    "I see. Well. You are in a good shape. So, you can go now."


    "Thanks." says Tahir, starting to put his pants back, then he asks the doctor. "I know you from somewhere but don''t know from where."


    "Sierra birthday party." says the doctor with a smile.


    "Ah. Yes. That birthday. You hired me as a singer."


    "Yeah. Yeah. She likes it."


    "Is she alright?" asks Tahir sounding worried as he puts his shirt on.


    "She is okay. She and her mother are staying on a camp in Greece. Yesterday they arrived."


    "We would also go there?"


    "Depends." says the soldier of this room. "For now. We are recruiting the people who are worthy of safety and can help us survive further."


    "Including us, right?" asks Tahir to the soldier after he puts his clothes back.


    "You can go now." responds the soldier to Tahir.


    "But."


    "Go." says the doctor to Tahir.


    And Tahir, seeing he cannot do anything, he leaves the room and goes to the hallway of this room where other people are in there, waiting for their quick examinations. On this hallway, there is also Paulo and Tomas, who had their medical exam finished. Then, the three of them have gone from there into another room to stay and wait for something.


    The three survivors are entering an empty room, labelled as room 34. The three of them are walking to the window of this room, and are looking outside, where they see a lot of fires and big black smoke coming out of the buildings and houses. They also see on a building nearby, a woman, naked, who is jumping from the rooftop of the flat. These three people looked at how the woman has fallen on the cold and bloody street, becoming a dead corpse, with organs and blood that have splashed all over the place. Six of the zombies nearby, seeing and sensing the corpse of that woman on the ground, they all walk toward the woman corpse and proceed to eat her remains on the ground.


    "That''s crazy." says Ta''Ron, seeing the remains of the woman corpse being eaten by these zombies.


    The three people on this room are looking on the street through the windows, they see there a male who is fighting a zombie by using a scythe. That man was able to decapitate three zombies who were coming toward him with a few moves of his scythe. Even if he was able to kill some zombies who were coming after him, many more were coming at him, swarming him and covering any escape of this brave and stupid warrior. The man was able to kill some zombie, but when a swarm shows up, the man proceeds to feel encircled and with no hope of escape. He tried to push a zombie, but another came from behind, grabbing his neck, and as the man was about to turn, a zombie from the front of him flank him, and take a bite from his neck. The bite in the neck was enough to make the man yell and stops from moving. He tries to fight, but it is pointless since the horde of dozens of zombies have encircled him and are eating him alive.


    "I''ve seen enough." says Tomas, leaving the window view after he saw that man trying to do this stupid stunt.


    The other two male survivors follow his example.


    Ta''Ron is covering the window by drawing the curtains.
