Night pa.s.sed by, but the gloomy clouds remained.

But the world was still lightened, as the sunlight pierced through them, bringing warmth across the land.

Almost as if telling everyone that "if there is a hope there is a way".

Sadly, not everyone has the will to walk on a h.e.l.lish path.

Arnold woke up right as the sun started rising on the Eastern horizon.

It was habit to wake up with dawn. This habit, he developed while serving in the military.

He saw his daughter cuddled up with sylva, sleeping together.

He laughed as he looked at them without any reason, yawned and went towards them, step by step.

His actions caused them both to wake up screaming and stella pointing her gun at his head.

"Calm down, it's just me" Arnold said lightly.

He was sad by how hard the kids have been traumatized, in merely a week of the Apocalypse.

Stella saw that it was her father, rather than a zombie and put her gun down

She opened her mouth to say, but before she could say anything.

"Grrrrrrrr" her and sylva stomach growled and rumbled demanding food, causing them to blush in shame.

They placed their hands on the stomach, as if telling it to shut it. But it didn't and continued growling for food.

"There was no food left to eat, but their d.a.m.n stomach keep on shamelessly growling" The kids though in their mind.

This caused Arnold to laugh, which he immediately suppressed by sheer willpower.

"Just wait for a while, soon I will go get food for you" he said, while rubbing both childrens heads.

"But father, there's danger outside"

She was worried because no one knew how and where those zombie could come out from.

They have already searched this warehouse the previous night, but there were no other stuff, except utility products like shampoo hair condition hairdryer etc

"Don't worry about adult matters, And don't worry about me, I love my life more than you guys. After all, I need to live till old and see my precious childrens get married" Arnold joked to lighten the mood.

His word caused both children to blush two shades harder.

Sylva heard his word and replied in low voice, almost as if a mouse squeaking.

"But I am not..." His voice died down at the end.

"No need to say anymore. From today on, you can just start calling me father" Said Arnold lovingly stroking his childrens heads.

"Father!" Sylva replied in a small voice, almost as if a cat meowed and hid in stella embrace, while blus.h.i.+ng and feeling happy~.

"You guys play together and pa.s.s time" He said, while going towards the second floor of the warehouse.

He is a military man and always had to go on mission, leaving his wife and children all alone for extensive period of time.

After he completed his mission and was returning back home, meteoroids suddenly whacked the world.

He hurried on his way, but by the time he returned to the city, his wife and son was already dead.

His wife even turned into a monster who ate her own child. He was in extreme pain but for his daughter he needed to be strong.

He couldn't shed tears or who else will his daughter rely on?.

And sylva he was his blood brother son and also reminded him of his son, so he didn't mind getting called father by him.

He reached the second floor, and saw Darci and jody sleeping together naked, he knew what happened between them during last night.

He didn't have anything to say, after all no one knew when or where death will claim their life.

"Wake up" His voice woke them up, who slightly blushed but their face returned to their normal contour, after all they were all adults.

"Captain! did something happened"

Darci said while wearing her clothes and jody also did the same.

"There's no food, and well I need your help" He replied telling the two people of their current peril.

"Need help in going outside, where zombies are roaming?"

Asked Jody, he didn't want to go out and put himself in danger, but without food how could a human live?

"Not really! Only I will be going outside and bringing food back from the H-7 (the seventh warehouse"

"So what do we need to do, Captain!"

Darci asked curiously since, if he alone is going outside, why would he need to come here? could it be he is interested in her? Well she didn't mind laying down with a handsome man like Arnold.

"Nothing more than communicate with me and tell me if there is any zombie nearby"

Arnold replied and opened up the holographic screen of his Tactical S-25.

He pointed towards the holographic screen that was split into boxes.

"Each of these boxes are connected with the CCTV attached on the inside and outside of the nearby warehouses"

Arnold have already hacked into the CCTV camera the previous night and also found which warehouse have food products stored inside.

"I will pa.s.s through this pathway where there are no zombie and reach the seventh warehouse where food is stored. But you guys need to tell me, if there's a zombie who changed his position and came nearby to me or not"

Arnold explained them everything about his plan and even gave them his smartphone S-25 Tactical edition.

Darci and jody readily accepted his plan.

After all, who wouldn't want to get food for free, while remaining absolutely safe and away from danger in an zombie apocalypse.

Arnold stood in front of the closed warehouse shutter, holding a silencer-attached gun and a short swiss knife.

On the opposite side of the shutter, two undead walked while hissing.

"Mission H-7! commence" He said on his wireless earphones and the warehouse iron shutter started opening up.
