Chapter 159
“Any others?”
“None. That was the last of them.”
Upon hearing Arian’s confirmation, Aiden gave a nod.
After properly securing the axe he had wielded against the zombies, he turned his attention towards Maria.
“Are you alright?”
“...Yeah, my apologies for that.”
Maria responded to Aiden’s inquiry with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
As if her brief lapse in awareness had been a significant transgression of sorts.
However, Aiden harbored no intentions of admonishing her, so he didn’t pursue the matter further.
In the meantime, Sadie had retrieved the arrow she had fired, cleanly extracting it from the zombie’s skull.
Fortunately, the arrow remained intact and undamaged.
Sadie proceeded to wipe the arrow’s shaft against the zombie’s tattered clothing before replacing it within her quiver once more.
