Chapter 20 Grudges
TAP, TAP, TAP.
Footsteps sounded behind Feng Tiegen.
The Black Zombie’s foot, covered in sticky, filthy blood, grated against the tiny pebbles on the cement road. In the silent shroud of night, the sound was exceedingly grating.
Feng Tiegen didn’t dare look back. He desperately moved his already fractured ankle, staggering forward one agonizing step at a time.
The intense pain, so sharp it felt like it was stabbing his brain, had to yield to his fear and will to survive.
CRACK.
The sound of breaking bone was chillingly clear. Feng Tiegen stumbled and fell. He struggled to turn, his face a mask of tears, snot, and dust as he looked at the emaciated zombie.
The Black Zombie hunched its spine, stepping slowly toward Feng Tiegen. Unspeakable, vivid red organs dangled from its gumless mouth, its single remaining eye cloudy and vacant.
It stooped, its long, sharp nails swaying in the wind, unconsciously scraping the ground.
With a harsh grating sound, its nails tore deep gouges into the cement surface.
