Metal and Voltic use the armored van to escape the city, but first, they need supplies. So, they go to the supermarket's warehouse and gather all the supplies that could last them for a few months in the truck.
Voltic fills the truck with supplies.
"That is all we can carry," he says.
Metal, who is on high alert.
"Then, let's get out of here."
Just as they were about to leave the place. Motorcycles roar to the location with a few Necros trailing behind them.
Metal and Voltic decide to help them, and they both took metal bats and swung at the Necros, taking them down.
The two people who led the Necros here also joined the fight, and by working together, they killed all the Necros.
The last zombie falls, but Metal and the stranger stay on edge, weapons half-raised, neither ready to call the other a friend just yet.
Metal tells them to introduce themselves. Selene Scarlet speaks first, her posture still guarded. Aria Solace follows, her calm demeanor doing little to ease the lingering tension between the two sides.
Metal and Voltic introduce themselves as well.
Noticing their armored truck, Aria makes an offer: if they help reinforce her car as well, she'll trade it for two guns, each with two clips.

After battling and killing the Necros, Rosaria swaps her dress for a tactical outfit. While out scavenging for food, she crosses paths with Lucian, also on the hunt for supplies.
Noticing her tactical outfit, Lucian asks if Rosaria is an officer. She hesitates before giving a simple, quiet 'no.' Lucian looks exhausted, so Rosaria helps him into a nearby supermarket.
Inside, they quickly realize they're not alone—several Necros are lurking. Despite his fatigue, Lucian dispatches three of them with ease. Rosaria, after a brief struggle, manages to take down the remaining two.
Rosaria grabs some food and drinks for Lucian while she begins packing supplies into her backpack. Lucian, still worn out, devours the food quickly and starts to regain his strength.
Seeing the energy return to him, Rosaria tosses him another backpack and says, 'Start grabbing what you can—or there'll be nothing left.
Lucian also starts packing supplies when Rosaria proposes that they should work together, since two is better than one.
Lucian gives it some thought, and though he is a little wary he notices the will to survive in her eyes and agrees to the proposal.
As they stepped out of the store, a horde of zombies came rushing toward them, quickly surrounding the building.
They retreated and barricaded the entrance, but the glass wouldn't hold for long.
Both knew the odds were grim, but neither was ready to back down.
With weapons in hand and eyes locked, they prepared to make their stand.

Orian had tried to escape the city, but the outskirts were swarming with a massive horde, making any exit impossible.
Forced to retreat, he took shelter in a greenhouse on the city's edge.
But as the door creaked shut behind him, he realized he wasn't alone—someone else was already inside.
Just as he was about to relax, he was knocked out by a wooden stick from behind.
When he woke up, he found himself tied to a chair, with a woman doing something a little distance away.
The woman approached Orian and apologized to him, explaining that it was necessary because she thought he was a robber.
She then questioned him about his purpose for being there.
Orian, without resisting, explained his reasoning for seeking shelter here.
After hearing his explanation and confirming he's a doctor, she releases him—but not without a warning. 'Don't try anything funny,' she says, her eyes still wary.

Back at the warehouse, the tension between the four of them still hung heavy in the air.
Metal asks about weapons, and Aria responds that they have two spare pistols and can offer a few bullets in exchange for help with an armored vehicle.
Voltic hesitates, then turns to Metal and asks, 'What should we do?'
Metal explains that he requires numerous resources to completely reinforce another vehicle.
Aria tells him she can provide the necessary resources, but it needs to be done within two days.
Metal and Voltic agree to the trade, prompting Metal and Selene to lower their weapons and relax slightly.
Selene and Aria then invite them to their temporary base, where Metal can work on reinforcing the truck.
But before leaving, Selene and Aria head into the warehouse to gather any supplies they can find.
While they were gathering supplies, a small horde of Necros began to swarm the warehouse.
Voltic sprinted toward the truck, while Metal rushed inside, shouting, 'Horde! Horde!'
Selene and Aria heard the warning and immediately sprang into action.
The moment they saw the undead closing in, they jumped onto their motorcycles, ready to flee.
Selene was the first to mount her bike, quickly assessing the situation.
With Voltic using the truck to draw the horde's attention and clear a path, she called out to Metal, 'Get on!' He didn't hesitate, jumping onto the back.
Aria followed suit, starting her bike just as the truck began to plow forward. Together, they sped out of the area, following the truck as it carved a way through the swarm.

Back at the Supermarket.
Both Lucian and Rosaria are locked in a fierce battle with the Necros.
They put up a good fight, but they are quickly overwhelmed by the sheer numbers.
Until they are backed into a corner.
In a final, desperate moment, Lucian dissolved into shadow, slipping through the Necros' grasp to avoid a fatal bite.
At the same time, Rosaria summoned a massive wall of ice that erupted beneath the undead, slamming them into the ceiling and crushing them with brutal force.
After a brief moment of realization—of what they had just done and what the other was capable of—both Lucian and Rosaria instinctively raised their weapons, wary and unsure.
But as their eyes met, it became clear: neither of them understood what had just happened.

Just as they were about to relax there is a huge explosion outside the supermarket....
