"Don't leave me! Mom!"

Loki grips in the steering wheel.

Del didn't say a word.

"Endure it." Kristoff said looking straight ahead.

Loki nods but his face is sour from anger and disgust.
Not only for others but for himself.

So many people in the road are still confused and trying yo find refugee.

They met alot of people trying to swindler or befriend them just so they can rely on them.

If it's just Loki and Del, they will already helped others.
But with Kristoff they didn't have the nerve to stop to help.

'Help them one time and it'll be a lifetime burden. If you are willing to take the risk then go ahead.'

This is not a safe world now.
This is apocalypse.

Mother or Father throwing their children to stall time so they could run away.

This is something normal in apocalypse.

Even so, it will still chill one's heart.

Loki step hard on the gas pedal and hit the zombie that will bite on the small boy.

Loki guiltily looks back.

"I'm sorry. I just....thought we could save him....."

Del rubs his head.

Kristoff nods.
"It doesn't matter. Like I said, just be prepared to take a lifetime burden. I didn't say never to step up."

Loki eyes dilated and then he smiles.
"Thank you Kei."

Del hurriedly run out the car and grabs the dirty boy.

Then like a real superhero he is back in the car less than a minute and the car drove away like it is a  rehearsed action.

The boy covered in mud and other black stain is only 6 years old.
Chubby white cheek but sunken buggy eyed.

It looks like his experience is really terrible.

They saw him getting pushed out of the car and the car drove away.

They don't need to ask what happened.
It doesn't matter anyways.

It's either bad or less bad, still it is bad.

The boy also didn't intend to explain.
He quitely stay in Del's lap saying nothing but trembling as he clenched his fist.

"We will restocked here." Kristoff said when he saw a small grocery store.

"Kristoff, this is a small retail store. You think it still have some food left inside to plundger?" Loki asks.

"It's not worthy to risk your life with." Del added.

"That is why it still has food inside. Cause nobody will risk their life in a small retail store that could be empty."
Kristoff remembers what Aries said in his past life.

Aries targeted small retail shops unlike the others who target convenience store and malls. But they always get spoils. More than those who risk 10 more times the danger over malls.

Because nobody will take such risk and end up without anything so they choose to raid biggee game than no game.

"Make sense." Del nods.

The boy looks around.
"I...I can show you the way."

Del looks down.
"What do you mean?"

The boy grits his teeth and raised one his hand.
