Hearing Mark's question, the man went silent and said after a while, "My name is David Warner. I am a doctor. And This is my daughter Daisy Warner." looking at the youthful girl who fell asleep in the back seat.

"So, How did you end up in that state?"

"I am a single parent. My wife died a few years ago when Daisy was still in her early teens from a car accident. So we both live alone together and on the day of the outbreak, we went to the store to get some groceries. It all happened suddenly that many weren't able to react and got turned into the things outside..."

"Zombies, those things are zombies." cutting him in the middle, Mark corrected him.

"Right zombies, all of us were completely caught off guard by this. People panicked and did not know what to do. I and Daisy were near the medicine section getting out meds. As the zombies came inside and spread to everyone. I panicked and looked around. I noticed the people going inside the back door and I also made my way inside." he said patting her head.

Turning around he continued, "But luck didn't stop there, it bit one of the people who came in and we didn't know this. By the time we found out it was already too late, The people on the lower floor got turned into zombies and we fled to that room. As we got in one of the people was scratched while closing that door and it spread to the remaining 4 members of the group. I killed them as soon as I got to know this."

Mark chuckled, gaining David's attention. Noticing his gaze, Mark shook his hand showing it was nothing and said, "I just thought how funny it should have been for a person responsible to save the lives of the people, was forced to kill instead." chuckling once again.

David grimaced at his remark but said, "I will take that step if it comes to my daughter's safety." with a determined expression. Mark nodded and told him to continue.

"After I killed those zombies, only me and my daughter remained in the room. We were able to find some insignificant amount of food and water in a refrigerator in the room. We ate once a day and could survive an entire week until it was complete. We started waiting for someone to save us until you came."

Mark nodded and introduced himself, "My name is Mark. I got trapped inside an office building but was saved by the military the next morning. Right now I am going to another city to save a friend of mine in this situation."

"So from now on I am going to be with you traveling?" asked David.

Mark nodded, and David turned back to Daisy. He then asked, "What is the situation outside? Is the government doing any good? Did they take action?"

Mark shook his head and said, "I do not know about the government, but the military took action. They were able to create a camp in the city. People started taking refuge under them. As you can see outside, the entire city is like this filled with zombies." as he showed the road while driving. A few zombies got run over by then.

David nodded and still felt worried about his daughter. He did not want to risk her life. Mark noticed his thoughts and said, "We can drop your daughter in the military camp. I know some people inside and I can ask them to look after her."

David immediately nodded and felt relieved. He then looked at the map in his hand and continued to give out instructions to Mark. As he gave out he asked, "So where are we going now?"

"Right now we are going to a potential member on our team. We need to go to her house and check if she is there. After that, we will go to our last destination in the city to look for one of my 2 friends before heading to Evergreen city." explaining to him the current plan. David just nodded, not speaking another word.

As Mark drove he asked, "Do you need to go anywhere?"

David shook his head as he continued to look out the window. The rest of the journey was quite with no one speaking. Daisy continued to sleep behind peacefully with no one to disturb her. They did not face any unpredictable situations throughout the journey to Mona's house.

After 3 hours of driving, they finally reached Mona's housing community. The gates were open and Mark drove in without stopping. They passed by many individual houses until they stopped in front of one house.
