Lectura corta en inglés. Zombie Apocalypse!

The Survivors’ Journey

The world had fallen into chaos as the dead had risen from their graves and taken over the planet. The zombie apocalypse had come, and humanity was fighting for its survival. A small group of survivors had banded together, determined to make it through the hordes of undead that roamed the streets. They had taken refuge in an abandoned school, fortifying the building as best they could. They knew that they had to work together to stay alive. Despite the danger and the constant threat of attack, the survivors found ways to create moments of hope and joy. They told stories around the campfire, shared what little food they had, and worked together to create a sense of community.

As they scoured the abandoned buildings for supplies and fought off zombie attacks, they began to dream of a future where the world would be safe once again. They talked about rebuilding their lives, creating a new world where the horrors of the past could be forgotten.
And then, one day, they received a sign of hope. A group of soldiers had found a way to stop the zombie virus and were working to eliminate the undead once and for all. The survivors rejoiced, grateful for the chance to start anew. They knew that there would still be challenges ahead, but they were determined to face them together.

With the help of the soldiers, they set about rebuilding the world. They worked to clear the streets of the remaining undead, reclaiming cities and towns from the clutches of the zombie horde. As the world slowly began to heal, the survivors looked around at the new world they had helped to create. It was a world that had been forever changed by the zombie apocalypse, but it was a world that was full of hope and possibility. They knew that they would never forget the lessons they had learned during the zombie apocalypse. They would always remember that working together, even in the darkest of times, could make all the difference in the world.
