[indent] Eli was in the process of changing into a loose black tee; a small alien logo on right upper right side of the shirt in white. Since it was a simple run down tshirt shop the only things Eli managed to score were barely put together tshirts. She stuffed two raggy grey ones in her backpack as well as some torn up ones she could use as makeshift bandages. Everything else was either caked in blood or completely unrecognizable. It was comfortably empty in the shop; so cozy, in fact, that Eli kept mentally debating whether she should make it into her temporary base. It wouldn't do her any good to be cooped up in a shop in the middle of a zombie infected area. She sighed and decided to enjoy the calm before heading back out. But instead of being engulfed by the precious quietness, Eli started hearing some shuffling. But it was muffled enough she decided it wasn't anywhere-- [i]KA-CHK[/i] Eli dropped a metal rack as she was walking around searching for the origin of the shuffling. [color=7c92b0]"Shit..."[/color] she cursed under her breath. She hadn't meant to make so much noise. She stood still, ears peeled for anything. After some excruciating seconds, the only sound she kept hearing were the muffled shuffling of feet. Way too many. She walked around to the wall and placed her ear towards it, [color=7c92b0]"maybe it's coming from the shop next door?"[/color] Eli decided it was worth to check out so she carefully headed out the door and immediately saw the origin of the sound. The shop next door--it appeared to be a grocery shop--was swarming with a few zombs. She couldn't get a good visual inside so she wasn't too sure if there was a specific cause to this. She tightened the grip on her sledgehammer, mind racing with bundled thoughts. [i] Should I investigate further?[/i][/indent] [right][@DriveEMOut][/right]
