Chapter 82: One Of His Kind (3)
The links slithered their way in, attaching themselves to Blaze’s brain. With each link that connected, it felt like someone had shoved a bar of molten steel right through his mind.
Forget about zombies, even humans didn’t feel any pain in their heads. That’s why most brain surgeries happened when the patient was active.
However, that wasn’t true in Blaze’s case.
His hands slumped to his sides as he fell face-first against the tunnel’s surface. Fester jumped in, sensing something was wrong.
It tried to tear through the links, but they didn’t budge. With no way to help him, Fester ran back to the others, specifically, Marrow. It knew she was the most intelligent among them and could help Blaze.
Through his blurry eyes, Blaze saw Fester disappear into the darkness. He wanted to call out to it, but every muscle in his body had gone numb. He couldn’t even blink, let alone call out to someone.
Why... does it hurt so much?
Blaze thought, realizing later that the Headless didn’t have a head like him. It controlled the zombies through its spine.
In his case, the links latched onto his head instead of his nape, like he had planned. That slight issue had come to bite him in the ass. Well, in his brain would be the more appropriate term.
Then... everything went dark.
When Blaze opened his eyes, the world around him was gone. He wasn’t in the crater, nor inside the tunnels. All he saw was an endless void where everything was covered in white.
"What the hell is this place—wait, I can speak?"
