章 54: Furious
"I'm alright, it was just a little painful. What we should be worried about now…" Fablo said to them before trailing off at the end of his words since he did not need to complete it.
Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!
Slow but heavy steps sounded, the others peeked through the glass of a truck barring the road and quickly withdrew their heads; their eyes displaying shocked expressions.
Only a few people including Edward remained calm, the others looked like they had seen a ghost.
It went without saying that the small scuffle between them and the few zombies just now had attracted more zombies, more than fifty zombies could currently be seen approaching their location from behind the numerous vehicles.
"We'll have to retreat for now, it will be difficult to take all of them on without making preparations," Fablo said and the others nodded readily.
They were about to turn back when suddenly….
"Aaaaaah!!"
A heart-wrenching scream rang through the air from over a hundred meters away from them and at the same time, the zombies that were slowly getting closer to their location suddenly changed target. Like bulls that had seen red flags, they began to sprint towards the source of the scream.
"What the hell are those idiots doing?!" Priscal cursed out as her eyes darted between the zombies that had begun sprinting on the sandy field and Fablo, it wasn't surprising to see more zombies leaving the road to join their fellow clansmen in their mad sprint.
Fablo stared at the scene of dozens of zombies leaving the road and running in the direction where the scream came from with a grave expression, he turned to look at his group members; apart from Lia, and Edward, the others had terrified expressions on their faces as they stared at the stream of zombies.
"Priscal, go inform White Fang and the other group to come and help; we have a situation. The others, follow me!" Fablo said after a short moment of thinking.
Priscal stared at his face, worried. Still, she nodded and left in a hurry after seeing Fablo's serious expression. The rest gulped as they stared at the running zombies. A lot of them were in tattered military uniforms while a few wore ordinary clothes that had almost been destroyed beyond recognition
Fablo clenched his spiked club tightly and looked at members of his group.
"Follow me but remember to stay close and prioritize your safety," Fablo said to them before running after the zombies.
Lia wordlessly followed with her sword stretched out to the side, Edward was only a second slower but quickly caught up with Lia; they were not running at full speed since they had to conserve their stamina in case anything unexpected happened.
...
One minute after running, the group arrived behind the lines of zombies. A zombie immediately turned and jumped at Fablo who was in front.
Fablo did not even try to dodge and mercilessly brought his spiked club toward the zombie in a swing.
Crack!! Swoosh!
Green blood splattered into the air as the spiked club ruthlessly shattered the jaw of the zombie as its head was sent flying to the side like a golf ball, the body of the zombie fell to the ground and immediately stopped moving.
More zombies noticed the group and turned to face them.
Lia moved swiftly amidst the zombies, zombie heads were sent flying whenever she waved her sword. She was soon covered in green blood after just a couple of minutes, there was not enough space for her to dodge all the blood that was sprayed into the air.
Edward moved to the side, dodging a zombie that had jumped at him before grabbing another zombie's neck. His muscles bulged as he lifted the zombie and slammed it on the one behind him.
Crack!!!
The heads of both zombies Instantly cracked as they fell to the ground due to the force, they still did not die.
Edward seemed to have expected this and had already arrived before them before they could get up, one of his legs raised high before he brought it down with force.
Bang!!
The heads of both zombies shattered into pieces upon impact and a foot-shaped hole was even left on the ground, Edward's leg was instantly covered in green blood.
As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Edward suddenly turned around and stabbed out with his carving knife.
Cling!!
A sound akin to iron hitting each other rang out as Edward felt a strong resistance against his knife, good thing that the knife did not break.
In front of Edward was a zombie with half of its face already decayed and its bone could even be seen, two red eyes with hints of green stared at him like a bloody abyss; frightening!
It was another abnormal zombie and as expected, it was in a tattered military uniform.
Edward had stabbed at the head of this zombie but the zombie had blocked it with its rotten hand, the knife had only managed to sink a few inches into the bone of the zombie's hand.
So tough!
"Roar!!!"
The zombie suddenly opened its mouth and howled at Edward's face, sending a weird liquid mixture flying everywhere.
Edward Instantly showed a disgusted expression as he held his breath subconsciously, he had almost passed out from the strong stench just now!
"Fucking learn to keep your mouth shut or brush your mouth!!" Edward barked furiously and brought his other hand forward with his fingers balled into a fist.
BAM!!
The punch landed on the chest of the zombie, and sounds of bones breaking followed as the zombie was sent flying backward.
Edward was enraged, the damned zombie almost murdered him with its devilish smell. He was already cursed to be able to pick up their natural body stench whenever one of them showed up, why did this one have to make it worse and scream in his face? Unforgivable!
Edward lunged forward and began to rain attacks on the zombie, any other zombie that got close to them was immediately killed under Edward's furious attacks.
These zombies were making attempts on his life!
The others, though not as aggressive as the three, were still doing their best to take out the zombies that came toward them while retreating at times.
Soon enough, dozens of zombie corpses were sprawled all over the ground behind them.
A zombie with slight green in his eyes suddenly lunged at one of the men from the side. The man turned his head and saw the bloody mouth of the zombie as it rushed toward him, he quickly moved to the side while bringing his weapon toward the zombie; he did not notice the small color difference in the eyes of this zombie.
The zombie suddenly moved along with the man and grabbed hold of the man's weapon.
The man's eyes widened like a sausage "What the hell!"
Before he could react properly, he was suddenly lifted into the air with his weapon and tossed away, luckily, these zombies were not capable of thinking and did not throw him toward the other zombies.
The man landed and rolled on the ground before quickly standing back up, the zombie was already coming over.
He forced himself to calm down but his hands were still trembling slightly. They had dealt with zombies like this before but it had taken more people to work together. How was he supposed to face one all by himself?
The man was still thinking of what to do when someone else suddenly shouted.
"Run!"
The man did not know who had shouted nor did he bother to find who, he instantly turned and ran towards the others. The zombie naturally followed him.
Someone suddenly arrived behind the zombie at this time.
Ptch!!!
A sword stabbed through the zombie's chest from behind, the zombie froze in place as its eyes lingered on the man who was still fleeing for a few seconds before turning dull.
The sword that was dripping with green blood pulled out, letting the zombie's body fall to the ground.
Lia, who was covered in green blood could be seen standing behind the fallen zombie. She had killed the zombie with a precise stab to its virus box.
One could see her chest visibly rising and falling as Lia breathed heavily, she was a bit exhausted from having to fight so many zombies and going around to help. The same was the others who were visibly out of breath and were gasping for air. Only Edward, and Fablo were still breathing steadily, they did not look exhausted at all.
By this time, they had already moved for over fifty meters and had killed over thirty zombies with Lia, Edward, and Fablo killing the most.
The zombies did not seem to focus too much on them anymore as well as they all moved toward the group ahead.
Without waiting for the others to catch their breath, Fablo quickly led them to see what was happening.
A single thought appeared in the minds of everyone after they finally saw the other groups who had obviously lost some members.
"Mutated plants?!!"
