Chapter 17: Onyx
At the same time, someplace else...
"Two grade-1 zombies on the left!" Anya yelled.
"I got it!"
Min rushed towards the left corridor at full speed. It almost felt like the winds were pushing him. With one kick, he decapitated the undead, before running back to rejoin the formation.
All of it took less than ten seconds.
It wasn’t just Min. Anya, who was standing in the center of the group along with Alaric, had awakened an ability. The ability to sense the zombies. If any undead stepped in a ten-yard radius around her, she’d immediately know about it.
She could also sense the strength of those around her. With Neha’s help, they came up with a grade system to classify the strange creatures around them.
A walker was grade-1, while Min, who became a speedster over the day, became a grade-2 being. As for those mutants with weird heads, they were grade-4 beings.
Those grade-4’s were the reason the small scouting group was moving slowly. They were on their way to the pantry to move the entire thing upstairs.
Thankfully, redhead Jenna had awakened a storage ability, which was perfect for the task.
Then there was the bulky dude, Zaid. He had an ability similar to a repulsion field, which can be used every ten minutes. That’s why he was leading the group. As soon as his ability triggered, everyone would run upstairs to safety.
