Max's POV
"Phew! Muntikan nanaman" sabi ni Carl
Hi everyone, Max Union is my name, and that, Carl Juarez, one of my brother's tropa
Actually, lahat sila tropa, ako nga lang mas bata dito eh
"Masyado ka kasing excited makipagbakbakan eh" and that is my brother, Migs Union
Yeh, Migs talaga name ng kapatid ko
"Ahhh buhay" sabi ni Matthew.
Matthew Lewis
"Donny, find some safe spot to rest. Maghahapunan na" and that is Park Chester, half-korean half-filipino and he is the so called leader of my brother's group
Ako lang nagiisang babae dito since ang kuya ko lang ang may kapatid na babae
Park Donny and Park Chester are cousins
"Oo nga, gutom na ko!" eto namang patay gutom na toh ay si Breez Danish, Bree for short, and lalaki po yan, pang babae lang pangalan niyan
"Lagi ka namang gutom par" sabi naman ni Hans Villanueva
"Par, alam mo naman pala eh, Windzy, lutuan mo ko pagkain" sabi ni Bree kay Windzy Stenton
Again, lalaki po si Windzy
"Kadiri ka par layuan mo nga ko!" sagot ni Windzy
Their ages are ranges 19-18, my brother is the youngest and Chester is the oldest
And, me, I'm 17 years old
"Alright, nakahanap na ko mga tyong!" sigaw ni Donny
Agad naman nagpark si Donny at nagsimula magsibabaan yung boys
"Clear" sigaw ni Kuya ko
Nagsimula na magsiga si Windzy para makapag luto siya
Habang yung iba eh naghahanap pa ng iba pang kahoy para may extra kami na pangsiga
Tahimik lang ako nagmamasid sa paligid just in case na may sumulpot uli na zombie
"Do you think buhay si Zenaya?" biglang tanong ng kapatid ko
"I'm sure she is still alive. She's more than a great fighter" sagot ko
Zenaya, Kuya Migs and I are childhood friends and kasa-kasama namin kapag may training sa martial arts and all I could say is, Zenaya is always stand out every session of training
"Indeed. Pero asan kaya siya?" hindi ko sinagot yung tanong ni Kuya Migs kasi hindi ko din alam
Yung ibang tropa ni Kuya, kaya nakasurvive kasi they know simple self defense and knows how to use a gun kaya ayun
"Alright everyone, let's eat" biglang sabi ni Windzy kaya pumunta na ko
Una niya ko inabutan ng pagkain
Simple lang naman, rice and hotdog lang naman kaya mabilis naluto
"Par, salangan mo ng tubig yan para may mainit na tubig tayo" sabi ni Chester
Agad naman sinunod ni Windzy yung sinabi ni Chester
*krrrriiiinnnngggg*
Agad ko kinuha yung cellphone ko
"Who's that?" tanong ni Chester
"Unknown number eh" sagot ko at hinarap yung cellphone ko
"Answer it"
Agad ko naman sinagot
"Hello?"
"Glad that you and Migs are still alive" agad ako napatayo nang madinig ko boses ni Zenaya
"Zenaya!? Is that you!?" agad ako nilapitan ni Kuya at hinablot yung cellphone ko
"Hoi! Ako kausap ni Zenaya eh!" sabi ko at sinipa sa tyan kapatid ko at kinuha cellphone ko
Yeh, ganyan po kami maglambingan ng kuya ko
"Yeh, it's me. Who else could it be" natatawa niyang sagot
"Where are you!?" tanong ko
"In Palawan. Anyways, nakikita ko kayo ng mga kasama mo ngayon, there's a cctv in your area. Actually kanina ko pa kayo nakita" paliwanag niya samin
"Bat ka nasa Palawan!? And how on earth did you get in there!?" tanong ko
"Well, I'm Zenaya Smith eh" loko talaga tong babaeng toh
"Who's incharge of your group?" tanong niya
"The one who wears red shirt" tukoy ko kay Chester
"Turn on your loudspeaker" agad ko naman sinunod yung sinabi niya
"Alright everyone, I'm Zenaya Smith, and yes, my parents are the highest people on earth. But I don't know their whereabouts. Look, I can see you right now because there are cctvs in your area and I hacked it to look for survivors pero kayo palang nakikita ko. You have two choices . First, me and my team will pick you up tomorrow, or second you'll stuck in there but expect that you will never ever get out of NCR due to there is a boundary wall around NCR" paliwanag ni Zenaya
"Wait, pano mo nalaman na may boundary wall?" tanong ni Bree
"When we are on our way to Palawan, since mas malakas ang signal kapag nasa himpapawid, my team hacked the whole cctv here in the Philippines and we saw some black lines around NCR" sagot niya
"How sure we can trust you?" tanong ni Chester
"Hmmm, simple. I have bitten three times and I'm still a human" natatawa niyang sagot samin na ikinagulat namin
"What the hell Zenaya!" sigaw ni Kuya Migs
"Yeh, third one is still fresh dahil sinugod kami ng zombies sa base namin sa Batangas so we have no choice to go here in Palawan" dagdag niya
"Did your parents did something on you?" biglang tanong ni Chester
"That's a personal question Mr. Park" nagulat ako nung alam niya surname ni Chester
"Shocked? Well yeh, magaling ako kaya nalaman ko mga basic infos ninyo. Anyways, what's your choice? Tinatamad ako magantay kaya ngayon niyo ko sagutin. Its your choice actually Mr. Park" dagdag ni Zenaya
"I'm not yet satisfied with your answer"
"Mr. Park, this is not a quiz bee. You simply choose 1 or 2" sabi ni Zenaya
"How sure na hindi mo kami mapapahamak?" tanong pa ni Chester
"Hoi leader! Ang tatamad nila magtraining, ikaw nga doon!" bigla namin narinig sa kabilang linya na lalaki din
"So inuutusan mo na ko ha Cedric?? Magpahinga na nga kayo at may kukunin pa tayong survivors sa NCR" sabi ni Zenaya
"Oo nga pala. HOI! MAGPAHINGA NA DAW KAYO SABI NI LEA---CEDRIC ANG INGAY MO! DUN KA NGA SA CLINI--- Kapag hindi pa kayo tumigil kakasigaw babarilin ko kayo para makalabas ng kwartong toh Cedric and Lloyd"
"Shit, goosebumps par" biglang sabi ni Carl
"Sorry about that. Sadiyang malalakas lang topak ng mga kasama ko. Mr. Park I'm waiting for your answer"
"If you are not satisfied with my answer, I just want you to know that we are 25 in here including me"
"Par, hindi tayo tatagal dito, nagsisisabog na yung mga malls, wala na tayo makukuhaan ng supplies" sabi ni Windzy
"Malls? Sumasabog?" biglang tanong ni Zenaya
"Yes, kada kuha namin ng supplies, sumasabog yung mga malls kaya yung ibang pinagkukuhaan namin is sinusulit na namin yung pagkuha pero sadiyang mabilis kami magutom dala nang palagi kaming nakikipagbarilan" ako na sumagot sakaniya
"Lloyd, call Ivann and Cj" sabi ni Zenaya
"I'll be giving you 5minutes to decide Mr. Park. I understand that it is hard to trust in this kind of situation. Ganiyan ako kanina dahil gusto ko kunin yung magkapatid pero inalam ko opinion ng mga kasama ko kasi hindi madaling magtiwala"
"Pre, bakit?" biglang salita ng lalaki sa kabilang linya
"The time na lumabas kayo nila Jabez, sumabog yung mall diba?"
"Oo pre, buti nga nahatak ko tong si Cj palabas eh kung hindi tustado na kami"
"Max, before ng pagsabog ng mall, did you see someone?"
Inalala ko yung day na kumuha kami ng supplies
"Yes, they wear some lab gowns I think and may sumisigaw na babae, it sounds like your mom" sagot ko
"Well, alam niyo na kung sino kalaban natin aside sa zombies" sagot niya
"Your parents?" sagot ni Chester
"Bull's eye Mr. Park"
"Same din kami ng situation pre, sumisigaw nanay mo" natatawang sabi ng kabilang linya
"Tagal mo naman mag decide Mr. Park, naiinip na ko ha"
"First choice" sagot agad ni Chester
"Good choice, find a safe spot. Mahahanap ko naman kayo eh, right now I'm checking the perimeter of your area and safe naman kayo, hindi kayo makakain ng zombies" pagbigay alam niya
"1pm SHARP. If kaya niyo pa kumuha ng supplies, go get some. Especially gas, I'll be hanging up now, at ang iingay ng mga kasama ko porket nasa isla kami. And, you guys look awful" sabi niya sabay baba ng telepono
"Isla? What?" biglang sabi ni Donny
"How old is she?" tanong ni Chester
"17"
"She sounds like a 20 years old woman" sabi niya
"Oh, magsi-inom nalang kayo ng gatas" sabi ni Windzy at inabot samin yung baso ng gatas
Warm milk lang siya, tama lang para mainitan tiyan namin
