Shovels In Spades

"I wonder where everyone is?" Daz rhetorically asked himself while he and Rimmy carefully walked through the city.

The two had been walking around for fifteen minutes now, and they had yet to meet a single soul. However, they had seen a countless amount of both Human and monster bodies. Of course, the corpses were mostly Humans.

"Hmm, what do you think, Rimmy?" Daz asked his sparkly friend. Rimmy paused for a short while before he nodded. "Bit of an odd notion, but you're probably right, Buddy," Daz replied in kind.

The two then tried to be as discreet as they could, which was obviously a challenge due to Rimmy's imposing stature, but they had no other choice. Daz had to be careful of other people and potentially, of monsters.

The pair were quite shocked to have not been met by a single living thing as they walked through the devastated city. The closer they got to the eye of it, the less intact the buildings were. This made sense to Daz when he considered how many people lived within the previously crowded city centre.

"Can you hear that, Rimmy?" Daz asked his companion. The response was a swift nod of the head.

"Right? It is pretty weird. Whatever it is, it's on the way to the jewellery store," Daz replied with some worry evident in his tone.

His worry was well founded. What the curious pair had found was a Q&B. Q&B was a very famous DIY franchise, and due to the city that Daz lived in being quite large, naturally, the Q&B store was a main branch one to cater to all of its customers.

What Daz and Rimmy had seen was a horde of Zombies. At least three thousand strong, constantly battering the walls and entrance but they were making no visible progress.

"Are those walls boarded up? It is a DIY store... pity. I was hoping that I could quickly grab all of the shovels before we hit up the jewellery store. Oh well, guess we'll come back later," Daz said after having assessed the situation.

Just as Daz had turned around, he managed to hear a loud shout, "HELP US!" A feminine voice yelled at the top of her lungs. Daz was stunned by the sight of her on the roof shouting for aid, but he had more important things to do right now than save some other survivors.

"I'll come back later!" Daz replied to the beautiful, red-headed lady who was bouncing about frantically on the store's rooftop which almost forced her large chest to pop out of her loose low-cut shirt. Daz spied one final glance at her dark red miniskirt before he left, clearly uninterested in the woman.

Although she was rather sexy, Daz couldn't help but think about his girlfriend. Despite his ignorance of the status of her life, Daz was still loyal to his current girlfriend, at least until he confirmed her situation. However, he had a hunch that his girlfriend was doing just fine. She was always dependable.

The pair of jewelled core owners left the woman and horde of Zombies. It would seem that Daz really did care more about his new friend then the lives of potential innocents.

The pair were lucky enough to not find any more similar encounters. However, just as Daz rounded the last corner leading to the shop he intended to raid, he immediately saw a group of maybe fifty Goblins and twenty Slimes that were violently tearing the jewellery store apart. He took a second to Identify the two types of monster just to make sure that they were what he thought they were.
