here” Nick replied.
Duckface interjected “I’ve been checking over my page, a few people have said a shelter has been set up in Woodford. It’s safe and there’s food and water, what do you guys think?”
“I don’t know, sounds like a good idea but it depends who’s there. More people will attract more of these things” Andy replied
“Not sure who, but people have said they making their way there. Has to be better than this, it’s at the old airfield”
“OK, were going to have to leave sooner or later. If there’s a chance I say we take it.” For once I found myself agreeing with Duckface. “We already have our bags packed. Let’s wait until we see an opening and we’ll go”
We all agreed, we needed to wait for the opportune moment. There were still around 20 infected wandering about outside.
We decided to leave the next day, as early as possible. After observing the infected, they seemed to be less active first thing.
After having an early night, we all got up that morning at 6am. After we got changed and unbarricaded the door, we took a look outside. The atmosphere outside was surreal, clouds covered the whole of the sky, it was a typical September morning. The grass was damp with dew and a cold breeze ran through the trees. There were only three of the infected left outside; they were at the opposite end of the car park. As far as we were aware, the coast was clear.
We grabbed our bags and carefully made our way outside. Glass still sat in a pile at the bottom of the stairs; we carefully stepped over it, trying not to make any noise. My car was directly outside the door, which was easy for me and Nick. Duckface and Andy had a bit further to walk, but the infected hadn’t seen us yet, so we all had time.
As soon as we got outside, the three infected turned to us alerted to our presence. They started making their way towards us. As they started to move we noticed more coming out from all around us, at least four were by the side of the building; another five came out from the street opposite us. One even came out from behind the oak tree.
If I didn’t know any better I could have sworn they were waiting for us. We all stood looking at each one of them as they walked towards us. They seemed more eager than usual, they picked up their pace considerably, compared to the last encounters I had with them.
We all raced to our cars, I got in the driver’s seat as Nick threw the bags in the back. He ran round the car, into the passenger’s seat, just as I heard the first bang against the car. As soon as he closed the door I locked the car.
I fumbled putting the keys into the ignition; I prayed that the car would start. As soon as the car sprang to life I threw my gears into reverse as I backed over one of the infected . There were more making their way towards us, at least 30 of them now, closing in from all different directions.
I looked over to Duckface and Andy to check they had made their way to the car ok. There were five infected all around their car, vigorously banging on the doors and windows, trying to seek purchase on their prizes they had waited so long for.
Just as I had, Andy threw his car into reverse, the infected stumbled trying to regain their balance as both cars shot off into the distance.
Chapter 6 – The Flight Path
Our route was easy enough. It was a strai ght road to get us there, besides Woodford wasn’t known for being a well-populated area. It was full of grand houses, set far back from the road. It was an expensive place to live; all the houses must have had at least 5 bedrooms and multiple bathrooms. The houses were stunning.
As we made our way to the airfield, the roads were dead. No one could be seen or heard. We had to weave our way through a multitude of abandoned cars, which were blocking the road ahead.
As we neared the airfield we saw a large crowd gathering outside. There must have been at least 50 infected pressing against the chain link fence which
