Chapter 45: Marrow
Keep the corpses intact.
That was Blaze’s instruction to the undead. He didn’t expect the humans to foil his plan. Before the remaining human could do something stupid, Blaze rushed towards him and snapped his neck.
Breaker and Raven followed suit, killing Hana and Arby. They didn’t need to do that, as they had lost too much blood and would have died either way.
Barry let out a groan before collapsing next to his squad. However, killing him didn’t lessen Blaze’s frustration. Even kicking the corpse did nothing in that regard.
That’s what I get for prioritizing fun over work.
He rubbed his temple. Deep down, he knew this was his fault. If he had killed them quickly, then he could still use their bodies. But no, he had to turn it into a show.
Then again, he didn’t expect that rifle to explode and kill everyone.
He looked around, and it was quite a mess. Not only humans, but some sprinters were also caught in the blast.
Blaze wasn’t worried about them. He could create them through auto assembly like he did before. But the human corpses were a different story.
He walked over to Hailey’s body first. The rifle barrel was still buried in his head. He didn’t have to perform an autopsy to know Hailey was beyond saying.
At best, Blaze could harvest his corpse as repair material, or use it for corpse unification. It was the same with Arby. Perhaps he could use them to heal Breaker’s lost arm.
