Does he have the time to warn the others?
Boris called for him, waking Viktor up from his train of thought. For now, there was no use thinking about it too much. He decided to quickly head back and check the current situation first.
Spllaattt! splaaattt!!
When the two arrived, the fight was already mostly over, as the two killed the final zombies and let their corpse fall on the bloodied ground. Considering the smell of the place, the trail of blood behind them, and the dead zombies scattered around, it was safe to assume that the two had been fighting their way through.
“Captain, what happened?” Viktor asked.
“Yes, I have seen them too. Let’s hurry, we have to head back to the bunker and check.”
Perhaps, going to a place so obviously on the horde path was not the best idea, but on the flip side, that bunker did not just hide his friends. There were supplies he needed to survive in this new world and it also served as a barrier against the cold weather if he ever needed warmth. There were also the numerous treasures his families gathered those should still worth something.
They ran as quickly as they could through the dried woods, but as they got closer to the bunker’s location, the distinct sounds of machine guns firing could be heard. It was at this moment that they realized they might have been too late already.
“Master Viktor, stop!!” Captain Patroski yelled.
Captain Patroski slowly but surely led them towards the side of the bunker that was covered by dried trees. The spot was not too far but properly covered, with big rocks preventing anyone from seeing them.
“This is worse than I thought.” Viktor muttered under his breath.

His main choice was still to protect the bunker at all cost, as there he had everything he needed. This was a much better option rather than leaving to god knows where in search for answers in this apocalyptic world.
The regular zombies were nothing to worry about as he knew he could defeat them easily with his newfound strength. Stage 2 would be a bit more tricky, but manageable with enough firepower.
Everything in his rational mind was telling him to leave, leave right now and avoid his fated death. However, Boris suddenly spoke, interrupting his thoughts.
Boris’s words brought Viktor out of his contemplation. Seeing how the former stood up and about to charge by himself, he quickly said, “Stand down! Don’t go!”
It was an open secret that the two men are a couple, but the fact that his subordinate dared to not follow his order still made Viktor feel irritated.

“That’s a good call, young master. We should leave right away before things become even worse.”
It was a large backpack, and after it was dug out, Captain Patroski quickly put it on his back. Seeing the familiar bag, Viktor immediately realised it was the one worn by Yugo before.
“Come, Master Viktor. Let’s go!”
Meanwhile, it seemed the people hidden beneath the bunker remained clueless of their inevitable fate.
“Alright, let’s go!”
