"There's nothing! Absolutely nothing!" Dane, who was the first to enter the supermarket, came out furious. He had hoped to gather some supplies to repay Howard a favor, but to his dismay, someone had already cleared out the supermarket.
All that was left were two cases of windshield washer fluid, some stationery, and other minor items; all the substantial supplies had been taken.
"We're too late, there seem to be other survivors around here!" echoed the others.
"Look what I found!" shouted a man in the distance, beckoning to everyone while straining his voice.
"What is it?" Dane was the first to run over. There, parked by the roadside, was a panel van with its doors open. The stains of dried blood were visible in the driver's seat, and the windshield was shattered. It seemed the driver had been attacked while trying to escape, bitten by a zombie, and then turned into one himself, disappearing somewhere.
The keys were still in the ignition.
