Chapter 184: 189 Our fault?

Thats everyone, Mathew thought after sending a quick glance over all the people gathered at the broken main entrance to the media building.

Are you sure there is nothing else you want us to do while you are away? Robert asked, taking a step out of the crowd of people that came to see Mathews group off.

Thats right, Mathew replied with a nod of his head. For now just stay tuned and enjoy your time with your girlfriend, he then added, sending the man off with a small smile.

Will do, Robert replied before lowering his head and then straightening up in a small salute.

I wish you safe travels, Daniel joined in right as Robert backed down to the crowd he emerged from. Its not a long way to go, but try not to get too careless, he advised.

What is this, a father-son moment? Mathew asked, raising his eyebrow as he looked at the older officer with a mocking smile.

We might have our differences, but that doesnt mean I wish you ill, Daniel replied while heaving a sigh. And oldie like me will never be able to see eye to eye with youngsters like you, he then added only to turn around on the spot and head back to the hole in the wall that they were using as the entrance.

Are you sure you dont want to come with us, man? Mathew asked, right as the officer was about to leave the range of his voice. Its safer for us to travel together rather than splitting up like that.

No can do, Daniel said. He stopped in his tracks and then shook his head. Someone has to stay with them, he explained his intentions with a wave directed at those who came to see Mathews group off. If we all leave, they will be powerless even against simple zombies.

I know its true, but still Mathew thought, only to grit his teeth and stop the entitled thoughts from fully forming. Its his decision what he wants to do. Im in no position to tell him to do otherwise.

Fine, then, Mathew said, clapping his hands against the sides of his hips. What about you, Norbert? he then changed the direction of his attack on the actual target Mathew wished to convince. Are you going to stay or come with us?

On the surface, this appeared to be a simple question. A simple choice between going with Mathews active party or staying with Daniels passive option.

And yet, what Mathew couldnt really tell Norbert right now, his presence was necessary for an entirely different reason.

If I dont tell him what we are going to do now, he is sure to take it the wrong way, Mathew thought, holding his sigh back not to alert the other party. And there is no way Im going to tell him now, he added in his thoughts, glancing over at the whole group of people that gathered to watch them leave.

I Norbert opened his mouth to reply, only to shut his lips closed as he glanced over at his mentor and senior. I really would like to stay, man, Im serious, he said with his eyes locked on Daniels face.

Norbert then swallowed his saliva only to move his eyes over at Mathews face.

But I dont think I can afford to stay comfortable as no one but a watchdog, he said.

Norbert then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

If I want to contribute I need to raise my strength. I need the means to fight against the zombies, he stated, alternating his eyes between Daniel and Mathew. And for that end, I have no other choice but to come with them, he finally revealed the answer.

Norberts eyes locked on Daniels face for a moment, only for the younger officer to turn them down and then away to the side. Whatever was the case for it, he clearly couldnt stand to keep looking at the man.

Not right after he plainly betrayed his obvious expectations.

I understand, brother, Daniel said in a solemn voice. Yet, there was no sign of anger, fury, or even disappointment on his face. You go and do what you need to do, he then added, right as he took a step forward and then slammed his hand on Norberts shoulder. You still have your sister to save, dont you?

I will return as soon as Im sure shes safe, Norbert announced, raising his chin as he looked Daniel straight in the eye.

Its okay, Daniel said, reaffirming his earlier words. Now, stop stalling and just go already!

And with as little as a small pat on Norberts back, Daniel set Mathews entire group out, back towards the dangers of the zombie-overthrown city.

Now, this is pretty damn awkward, Mathew thought a mere moment later when the last sounds coming from the media building gave way to the unnerving silence of the dead city. How the hell am I supposed to bring up Carol now?

Mathews ability allowed him to sense the stares that all three of the girls gave to his back.

They want me to talk it through, the young man thought, painfully aware of the girls intentions.

Yet, rather than straining the fragile relationship he built with Norbert up to this point, Mathew opted to put this topic aside for now.

It changed so much, Mathew thought once he directed his attention from the topic of Norberts sister to the sights around him.

There were no people walking down the streets. There were no animals running around happy to go on a walk with their owners.

Instead, after taking just a few steps away from the media building, the only presence beside his group that Mathew could spot on the street was that of zombies.

And they surely dont look as weak as they were two weeks into my previous run, he thought, squinting his eyes as an unnerving sensation welled up at the bottom of his abdomen.

It wasnt the lust that he already grew somewhat used to.

It was a chilling sensation of realization.

Here you are doing it again, Nadia suddenly said, stopping Mathew from falling into the pit of depression caused by his recent realization. If you thought of something, how about you share it with us rather than keeping it to yourself?

Nadias suggestion was as valid as it could get. Yet, it didnt make it any easier for Mathew to speak up.

Its just a guess Mathew took a moment but finally attempted to speak up. But dont you think those random zombies are getting stronger? he suggested, only to turn his eyes towards the nearest group. Like, isnt that kinda our fault?
