Claudia did as told and directed towards the second floor, there was no use  in staying and fight, however what she did not expect was to hear a second gunshot, she stopped for a second to look back and confirm what she feared: the old man had given the granny a quick death; at least it was better than being devoured alive by those monsters.

The group reached the second floor, they were quite lucky the zombies had it difficult to walk up the stairs, even so some managed to crawl up.

 "[color=6ecff6]Over here, to the next building[/color]" the blonde college girl told the other survivors as she pulled the drapes away, revealing the fire escape she had mentioned before. The last one to reach the fire escape was Michael, once Claudia saw the ld man was fine she followed the others.
"[color=6ecff6]I hope we don't get ran over by another fucking car...[/color]" she muttered, taking a second to observe the surrounding area and how more zombies tried to enter the bar through the hole in wall. 

One of the men found an open window and the entire group got inside the apartment, it was dark and the girl even thought  she saw  a rat pass by. They were all scared  to even open the door leading to the hall, fearing there may be more zombies in the aparment block.
