Day 2: Raw Meat Part II

After a few minutes more vans arrived on the scene. They were the group of survivors Megan sent to get the civilians out of the butcher shop. There were a total of two vehicles with some occupants in them, these being Cindy, Harry, Michael, Bryan and Markus.

They were all surprised to see from afar the entrance to the butcher shop, as well as the pestilent smell coming from there.

—What the fuck happened here? —Cindy asked in disgust. She was shivering at the sight of what looked like people hanging from the hooks.

—We've got wounded people! —Jason came out of the butcher shop carrying the grieving father. A shudder ran through Cindy at the sight of him naked.

—Oh shit... We're coming! —Cindy agreed to help the men, while Jason pointed out to the other survivors that there were three more involved. Jason ushered them in and pointed out who needed to be taken out carefully.

—What about those on the ground? —Markus asked about the men writhing in blood and gore.

—They caused all this.

Nikolai kicked Allen who was trying to get back on his feet.

—What are we going to do to them? —Jason commented as he watched the remaining civilians being taken out, leaving Markus, Nikolai and himself at the scene.

—Tell the others to go ahead. The civilians need urgent help. In the meantime... I'll stay.

Nikolai put on white gloves from a packet in the area, as well as a white apron, boots, a mask and a cap to cover his head.

—Stay, Jason.

—I don't know if I can...

—They could have done this to us, Jason. You know what happens to people who can put our lives at risk. You know what's in store for them.

—Guys? —Markus wanted to say more but Nikolai just smiled at him.

—Markus, go with the others. Please.

Nikolai looked so calm, but those black eyes showed the opposite.

He was a ticking time bomb waiting for the perfect moment to retaliate and explode.

—Just... come back carefully —Markus said goodbye, making sure to close the door on his way out. The survivors moved into the shelter while Jason and Nikolai figured out what to do about the butchers. After a while, both men ended up tied to the metal tables where they had previously placed corpses and, they were also stripped of their clothes.

—Who would think that someone capable of doing all this would have such a small cock, so small... —Nikolai laughed at the irony. —You must have huge balls to do all this, and look... it's tiny. Are you done, Jason?

Jason came out of the bathroom dressed as a butcher.

—All right. Why don't you fellas tell us a little bit about yourselves? The outbreak sure changed all of us... and it's only day two as far as I can tell. Am I wrong?

—As if there's any difference between telling you something or not, you Russian asshole —Allen spat in Nikolai's face. Kalinic didn't like this action so he took the barbed wire and, putting it around his neck, tightened it. Blood soon began to gush from Allen's neck which was writhing because the barbs were embedded in the flesh.

—Allen! Please don't do this to us! We can work together! We can be a good team! There's no reason for you to kill us! —Hutch came to Allen's defense to stop the martyrdom, but this only made Nikolai angrier.

—But I see that you were having fun... I see that in this bag you bring drills, small saws... knives... I see that you were not wasting your time.

—You don't have the balls to kill us, you Russian idiot. You won't kill us... you can't, you don't have it in you. Just look at you... dressed as a butcher to scare us and try to reverse roles. You can suck my dick since you're so close to it! —Allen spat in Nikolai's face again and Nikolai nodded at the man's words.

—Apparently my plan has gone down the drain... I'm definitely not going to waste my time with you guys... but I do have something in mind. I see you guys liked to film your shit... apparently there are about ten videos of you guys fucking each other dead and alive. Yuck... as I recall, a grieving father said you guys killed his son, and apparently it was true.

Nikolai showed the video to Jason. Slater immediately moved the phone away.

—Of course they made him bleed to death... but now it's the dead guys' turn. Do you want to hear something funny?

Nikolai started looking for the heads of the corpses and placed them around the bodies of the butchers so that they could hold them close. Allen and Hutch could smell the fetid aroma of the men they murdered, it was a nauseating stench that even Allen got an erection.

—When people die, regardless of whether they were bitten or not, they tend to come back. They always do.

Nikolai took the camera, deleted all the videos and went to the options for recording. He placed the camera on the ceiling so that Allen and Hutch's bodies could be seen being recorded in their entirety.

—I could torture you, but I'm in a good mood. As I was saying... the people you killed will come back as zombies. I knew an asshole those Raiders decapitated, a bald idiot who I'm sure is... was... a friend of yours... they decapitated him but, his head was still moving even though he had no body and half his face was being eaten off.

—How? —Allen began to panic, for he swore that one of the heads moved its eyes.

—Therefore...

Nikolai dropped a complete corpse that was hanging from the hooks to the ground.

—When people die...

Nikolai untied a man with no arms but with his head still intact and attached to his body.

—They always come back.

Nikolai opened the coolers where more dead men were being forced in... all with their heads still attached to the bodies.

—Let's go, Jason.

Nikolai and Jason left the carnage, removed their suits and entered their vehicle. They didn't know how through the camera the butchers could see the heads of the dead men begin to grunt.

Allen was startled because he thought he heard something fall off one of the tables set up behind....

—Hutch...

—Oh shit... no... NO... NO... NO, DAMN IT, NO. HEY! NO! GET AWAY! HEY! NO-

The camera recorded every second of how the butchers were devoured by the zombies of the men they killed. The zombies embedded their teeth into the bodies of Hutch and Allen. It wasn't long before their thoraxes and stomachs were ripped open, revealing their insides, and they began to feast on their guts.

All in front of the imperative lens of the camera that recorded everything without stopping.

That was how one more scum of Vallimorth Shopping Mall disappeared.
