CHAPTER 35: Code Zero

2 years after the world was saved;

Claire walked into the kitchen silently and started to pack some food. Everyone stared at her puzzled. "What are you doing?" Izzy asked. "I'm going in a trip. A very important trip." She replied. "Where?" Layla asked. Claire looked at her. "You don't need to know or worry. I'll be fine." Claire said. She zippered the bag and was walking to the door. They had a quick conversation.

Their conversation:

Izzy: "Claire wait!"

Claire: "What Izzy?!"

Izzy: "Listen I know that it's been two years after it ended, and I know you're a little paranoid, but you need to let us know where you're going!"

Claire: "It's not that I'm paranoid, I just didn't wanna tell you. But you're right. I'm going to the Great Plains.

Amy: "Why there?"

Claire: "Long story short. There's a giant facility under the Great Plains. It takes up 50% of the Great Plains underneath. There's been a trace of zombies underneath there. I hired some recruits and we're heading down there to find the source, set bombs, and destroy it."

Amber: "I'm in!"

Claire: "No Amber!"

Adrianna: "I'm in too."

Danni: "Me too!"

Anna: "I'm in too!"

Tony: "Me as well!"

Amy: "I'm coming!!!"

Mariah: "Oh girl I'm in!"

Claire: "Fine! You guys can come but that's it!"

Layla: "One more is coming! Wink wink!"

Claire: "Ughhh!"

Bob: "I'm coming. You need a medic in case."

Layla: "True!"

Izzy: "I'm coming! You need me, you know you do!"

Claire: "Okay!"

Dash: "I'm coming!"

Claire: "No Dash! And no Leah. You need to stay here and take care of your niece, daughter!"

Leah: "Yes."

Claire: "Alright! Everyone get ready!"

They all ran back, but they shut them inside. Then a computer voice came on the speakers around. "Welcome to Code Zero Facility. One of the largest underground facilities in the world."

Aren't we usually the ones running away?" Izzy said. Then they came back. They had being more zombies and they all had guns. They raised the guns and started firing at them. They all ran and took cover. The zombies screamed and screamed and kept firing. Someone made this on purpose. They knew that Claire and the others would come down and try to stop it.
