Chapter 6: Chapter 6
I pinched my nose in disgust. Someone in Finn's crew smelled like a zombie. I didn't know how I did not notice it before.
Ignoring Finn, I motioned my fingers at Marvin. He walked over and tilted his head so I could whisper into his ear.
"Tell Finn that I don't want his crew near me," I whispered. "He can come and talk to me but not anyone from his crew."
Marvin nodded his head and then scanned the crowd. Walking up to Finn, he whispered the same thing. Finn turned his head and meet my eyes. Confusion filled his face.
We stared down each other until he whispered something back to Marvin.
"He says he agrees with your request," Marvin spoke. I could see Finn tell the crowd something, most likely what I had just told him.
"Tell them not to get close to Finn's crew," I said.
"Them?" Marvin reposted. I pointed to the four people at my back.
"Oh ok." Marvin left to tell them. Silence came and only the hushed whispers could be heard. I could feel several glances come my way but I ignored them.
"Let's move out!" Finn shouted. Nodding his head at me, he turned and started walking. We had started our journey.
One week had passed and no zombies had appeared, even the bitten human hadn't turned yet. During this Qihn had gotten close with Derek, Marvin, Peyton, and Destiny.
"Is it not weird Miss Onyx? Derek whispered. He had adopted Marvin's way of speaking. "There are no zombies near here."
"I think it there might be a high leveled zombie near here," Qihn whispered. "Shouldn't we tell Mr. Finn?"
"Qihn how would you know?" Derek "You never know, maybe the zombies had left the area. And even if there was, we aren't telling Finn, he isn't our boss. I don't even know why you are so kind, even after the way they treated us..." I sharpened my eyes as I waited for the next part but Marvin stopped him.
"Derek, I do not think Miss Onyx should hear about that," Marvin whispered, nudging Derek in the shoulder. Derek glanced at me before turning away. "Sorry about that, Miss Onyx."
[Scanning area around No. 785...]
[Humans found…Scanning further…A horde of zombies ahead, warning, a horde of zombies ahead.]
[High leveled zombie found]
[System advice- Hide possessions in the small store nearby]
"Marvin, go tell Finn that we are going to the store for a while." Marvin looked at me in confused but still nodded. Running to Finn, the crowd let him pass through.
"He says it's ok,"
"Then let's go," I started to walk to the store that the system guided me too. When we entered the store, I turned around. "Stay here," I ordered. Marvin, Derek, and Qihn nodded while Peyton just shrugged.
"Why?" Destiny asked, however, I ignored her I exited the store. "Answer me!" Destiny screamed trying to take a step towards me but failed. She couldn't move from outside the store.
"So my commands work on them after they eat the gems," I concluded. Waking back to the street, I saw Rassa run to me.
"Help!" She screamed. Grabbing my hand, she pulled me to the previous empty street, which was now a battlefield.
Zombies were clawing at the humans, while the humans swang bats or other blunt weapons at their heads. At the rear were Finn and the people who were sitting with him. They had guns in their hands and were shooting at the zombies, that came near them.
"Finn, I brought her," Rassa screamed. Finn seeing me run over. "There is a high leveled zombie there. It is controlling the crowd. We need you to kill it, or we'll die." Finn huffed. "We can control the crowd for now but soon we won't be able to." I could feel my blood boil. Nodding my head, I smelled the area for the zombie; it had been long since I had had a real fight.
Smiling my toothy grin came back out. I had found it.
The zombie stood on top on a medium-sized building with multiple buildings to the sides, watching the fight. Putting power into my right foot, I propelled myself forward. Putting one hand out I got ready to grab the oblivious zombie's neck. However right before I reached the zombie, it turned around, its eyes meet mine and it smiled. It was the smile of another predator.
[Caution, the zombie is on par in strength with No. 785]
[The zombie has been categorized into level 3 slot]
[Energy Level is 29%, No. 785]
Grabbing my outstretched arms, it swang my body to the wall of the other building and pounced onto me. Swiftly rolling to one side, I kicked my left leg sideways to meet the zombie's chest. It slid back before getting back up, now clutching its chest. I got up carefully, still holding my gaze with the zombie.
A single look away could cost me my life.
It went left, I went right and we made a circle. Removing its hands from its chest, claws popped out from its knuckles. It grinned before pouncing towards me again. This time I was prepared.
Dodging its claws, I went to extract its arms. Grabbing the arm nearest to me, while it was still in the air, I put power into my hand and pulled it off its body. Blue blood came pouring after.
"Uhh," It groaned. Its excited eyes meet mine, but now also it contained caution. It jumped away before I could grab it again. We stared at each other, watching for any sudden movements. Suddenly, sharp blades came towards me. I tried to dodge the object but couldn't. The blades cut my cheek, legs, and neck. Now we were both bleedings. We stared at each other again.
"I need a distraction," I thought. Analyzing the situation, I grabbed my shoulder bag and flung it at the zombie. The zombie dodged it. Cockiness was within eyes. It must have thought my bag was some kind of dangerous equipment like its blades. The moment it dodged the bag, I pounced on it. Grabbing its exposed neck, I slammed it to ground. Placing my feet on its shoulder, I tried pulling off its head, however, its leftover claws kept me from doing so. Swiftly jumping away, its back to a wall, I watched it get back up. We stared at each other again, now only fear filled its eyes. It was going to run away.
"One," A countdown appeared in my head. "Two," This might be my only chance to kill it. Putting all my power into my arms and feet, I got ready. "Three." I attacked.
[Energy Level is 20%, No. 785]
It jumped upwards, trying to grab the other roof, so I grabbed its legs and pulled it down. Its back slammed into the floor. Hands still holding the legs, I lifted my foot and put my energy into it before kicking the head.
"Pop." The head flew, slamming into the wall before sliding down. The head had created a crater.
[Energy Level is 18%, No. 785]
I had taken in a deep breath before I went to grab my bag which laid on the floor.
[Scanning area around No. 785...]
[Energy gems found, processing...]
[Ingest red energy gem for 5% refill. Ingest blue energy gems for 1%]
I walked over to the bodiless head and picked it up. Searching the head for a gem.
"Ah," I muttered. Pulling my blue covered hand out, I smiled. A sparkling red gem lay in my palms. Unzipping my bag, I placed the gem into it before jumping off the building.
Walking back to the street, I raised my brow Finn's crew was still fighting, but they were a lot small than when I had left them. Grabbing a bat that laid on the floor I charged in swinging. The battle was finished in seconds after I had entered. Bending down, I quickly grabbed the blue energy gems.
Finn ran over panting. "Thank you," He bent down and took a breath. "You must be surprised at why our numbers got so small. Someone was bitten but the person didn't tell, the guy started fighting his own teammates and biting them. Got everyone frightened." Finn frowned before turning around and shouting. "Remove the heads from bodies of the dead ones, recently died or died before. We don't what them becoming a zombie again."
I looked at Finn's crew, the people I knew were still alive. Tapping Finn's shoulder, I pointed to the shop. Finn nodded to as a response. Walking to the shop, I couldn't wait to smell Qihn's scent. I need something to cool my blood, and Qihn might just do it.
I was fifteen yards away when I smelt it. Blood of a human and blood of zombies. The smell overflowed. I could smell anything but that. Putting power into my feet, I ran.
