The evening sky was thick with storm clouds as Damien Rook trekked into the abandoned industrial district, Mira at his side. Word had spread of a new threat: a group of mutated zombies that had surfaced from beneath the old subway tunnels. They were faster, smarter, and far deadlier, unlike anything the survivors had faced before. Damien’s instincts told him this was the work of the Zombie King, but something felt different—darker, even more calculated.
“Are you sure about this?” Mira whispered, glancing nervously down the empty street. “The others wanted to help.”
Damien shook his head. “This mission requires speed, not numbers. We’ll scout ahead and return before dawn. Besides, the fewer of us here, the fewer lives at risk.”
