(Kyosei's View)

I may not care about the well being of other people but people killed without any reason, is something I can't ignore especially if it is happening in front of me. My actions earliee of pulling the kid out of the streets is my best decision I did instead of ignoring him. Laika's ears are standing up which means someone else besides us is here. It was a good thing Laika is a very intelligent dog and didn't bark when she noticed the presence of another person.

Pulling out my Kitchen Cleaver,I crouch and ambush the incoming person. And in case the incoming person are multiple individuals, I also prepared my Beretta M9 Pistol as a secondary weapon to ensure my safety and preparation to "what if" situations.

Footsteps is coming closer and the moment the guy appeared I quickly made my move and grab his neck before putting the kitchen cleaver to the neck of the unlucky guy. Luckily for us, this guy is alone and he is not being followed by anyone. Confirming that he is alone, I returned the cleaver and continue to grapple his neck,

I overpowered him despite being much bigger than me by making sure I lock his neck in my arms tightly. 

"F*CK... LET... GO!"

He keeps on trying to escape my arms and free himself by struggling a lot. Too bad for him, I made sure this neck lock he is experiencing. It didn't take him long before he gave up. However, according to my experience, many guys like this will feign to have collapsed which in turn will cause you to drop your guard down. The moment he stopped moving, I tighten up my neck lock even further which will reduce your air intake and will forcefully put you to suffocation. If he is strong enough, he will just collapse and if he is weak as f*ck and he is very unlucky, he will surely be waving hi to the grim reaper.

When his face is already showing signs of turning purple, I released him from the neck lock and quickly pulled out the rope I managed to loot on the miscellaneous store. I tied him up before going back to the child and Laika who is guarding him.

I assumed the kid would be shaking and experience trauma seizures but contrary to what I expected, this kid is not fazed by the death of the woman earlier. Still, I don't think I have the time to chat with this kid. With the undead walking in the streets alongside with the survivors who seemed to be at war and those snipers who are also killing people once they spot anyone.

As for the guy I tied up, I probed him with things on his jacket and pockets. In his possession is a little notebook, a shotgun with 5 shells inside, 30 pieces of shotgun shells, a pocket knife, a pack of cigarrete and a walkie-talkie. I opened the little notebook and saw the contents of it. Although I just skimmed it, I have read quite a few bits of it. This notebook is a member notebook for a cult named the "Messengers."

Messengers is one of the existing cults that used the apocalypse to their advantage to rally up their group and rise in power in this time of chaos. Since many people are desperate for anyone to help them in this situation, I assume that they got plenty of members. But what is this killing here?

After knowing what is happening for a little bit, I grab my piyavka and do the deed and disposed him. When the deed is done, I fetch the little kid with Laika and continue my way to my car via the long way to avoid the crossfire happening on the road. Bringing this kid along is hard and I need to hide him somewhere.

Luckily, the way to the car is uneventful and aside from the occasional undead straying on the road which leaves me to kill it, we didn't meet any humans on the way that hamper our little journey and after a few turns on the road, we managed to secure the car once again. There are clear traces of gunfight around my car as the a few parts of my windshield is destroyed and I am sure it is not there before. The wheels and engine are also fine so I guess those guys fighting only grazed this before they have done their job.

Putting what I looted on the trunk of the car and putting the kid on the passenger seat and letting Laika take the backseat, I went into the driver's seat and start the engine, the moment I started the engine, several people appeared on the alleyways carrying high caliber guns. The moment I sensed the danger, I didn't hesitate and floor the accelerator of the car and pull out my Colt before wasting the remaining bullets inside to the people who just showed up.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

From the barrage of bullets I sent to them, I managed to take down 4 guys down while the others managed to dodge. However, that is enough time for me to escape. After doing the kill, I accelerated the car and maneuver it to the road. Some of the guys blocked my car but that was an idiotic move on them.

Without bothering, to step the brake, I continue the car on my path. Since they thought I will stop, they failed to jump away. A few managed to dodge and get away from my car but for the other guys, they were unfortunate enough to fell victim.

"Get him! Fire at will!"

They then proceed to fire my car with barrage of bullets. Realizing the direness of my situation, I sway the car around the road to stop them from getting good shots. The chase has finally begun.
