Chapter 21: Hunters Hunted (2)
"What are you spacing out for?" Nico yelled, hacking through another undead. "It’s just a zombie!"
Luis shook his head, before kicking away the severed head. For a moment, all color had drained from his face. He thought it was Nico’s head and panicked. After all, he couldn’t even run if something were to happen to his meat shields.
"Luis, will you stop idling around and lend us a hand?" Darnell asked, fighting two zombies himself.
"On it!" Luis yelled back, reaching for his trusty nail gun.
We hunt zombies. Obviously, their heads will roll on the ground. Stupid me.
Luis aimed the gun at the farthest zombie. However, before he could press the trigger, something came crashing down from above. Something was standing between him and the rest.
A zombie?
Luis thought, staring at the tall and muscular zombie. The shirtless creature had a wide stitch mark on its stomach, as if it was used for drug trafficking, but came alive during the apocalypse.
To make things even strange, the creature had claws in place of fingers and his crimson eyes remained fixed on him.
It was a zombie, but unlike the others, he wasn’t stumbling or groaning. But the most disturbing thing was... the creature almost looked human.
That realization brought fear with it. Luis’s eyes widened as he pointed the gun at Blaze.
