The sounds of their feet hitting the ground is concerning. They began to close the distance and it would reach us in a few seconds. The rest were surprised seeing the gap get shorter at an alarming rate and I shouted at everyone, “AIM FOR THOSE THREE FIRST!!! DON’T LET THEM GET NEAR!!!”

“What the f.u.c.k was that?!” a few shouted.

“KID?!” Oscar exclaimed

“JUST F.U.C.K.I.N.G SHOOT!!!” I yelled.

A few of the guys flinched but Kaley started taking shots while Tatiana and Oscar started to unload their guns on the ones approaching. The nearest one got peppered with bullets and it fell down immediately. The second one pushed a few zombies aside before it reached us but Oscar blew it’s head off before it got close. I aimed for the third one coming close but when I squeezed the trigger, it tilted its head and I missed.

“What the f.u.c.k?! Is that an irregular like in the bakery?! A Special-Irregular?!” I shouted in my head.

What’s more surprising is that it began to bob its head and it suddenly leapt towards Oscar with its knee first. He guarded with his shotgun but we heard a metal bending.

*creak*

*BOOM*

Oscar fell down on the ground and Tatiana managed to blow it’s head off before it slashes its arm at Oscar. He’s still laying down on the ground, awake and groaning but the rest of them are starting to get closer so I pulled my blade with my left hand and placed a pistol on my right hand then I rushed forward.

“DRAG OSCAR AT THE BACK FIRST AND TAKE A LOOK AT HIM KALEY!!! TATIANA ON ME!!!” I shouted as I started a massacre, gunshots and slashes could only be heard. Tatiana quickly followed and she also used her pistol because its rate of fire is faster than the shotgun while Jenny served as backup on the back with a few others.


*shhck*

*shhck*

*slash*

*bang*

*BOOM*

*chop*

*slice*

*bang*

*bang*

I kept on waving my wakizashi like there’s no tomorrow and I’ll only take a break when I hear the gun clicking empty. I would reload quickly and trade the position of the magazine in my hand and the one in my hip. I then would slide the action and continue on pulling the trigger when it’s reloaded.

*Bang*

*Bang*


*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

There were a few times where I would need to kick a few down since they are in a clump. I saw Mark swinging the fire axe down on the ones that I knocked down. We nodded at each other and I continued on. Jenny takes careful shots with her gun and she downs a few.

The zombies coming in is shaped like a cone, we’re slowly killing them while a few of the guys at the back take careful shots on the sides so they don’t hit us three.

*psshew*

*psshew*

I heard the suppressed sound of the AR and I surmised that Oscar has been checked already and Kaley is already taking shots. The small herd began to get fewer and the slow ones are now left. I holstered the gun while the others also used their melee weapons to each one of the few remaining. I tried to flick the blood off the blade after each kill since the blood on the grip is making me lose my hold on the weapon. Good thing that I placed it in my left since my right hand still has the wound from my nails last night.

“I might need to clean this thoroughly later.” I said to myself.

*shhck*

I pulled the blade from the last one and I looked behind me. Bodies are strewn about and a pile of gore and bloody mess littered the road. Dismembered heads and arms coupled with bits I can’t even recognize is the only thing you’ll see. I ran towards Kaley and Oscar and I saw him sitting in the ground with a disgruntled expression,

“You good old man?” I asked.


“See this kid?! The f.u.c.k.i.n.g runner broke it!” he bellowed as he raised the SPAS-12.

“More concerned of the gun than your life huh?” I said.

“Hah! If I was younger, I would’ve shot the three first and would never have to block!” he exclaimed proudly.

I looked at his shotgun and it was bent beyond repair. I tried to look for that zombie’s body and I found it laying sideways with a huge hole in his head. I looked at its knee and I called Oscar over.

“Damn, that thing lunged so hard its body couldn’t take the damage.” Oscar said.

Its knee is bent backwards and it’s a mangled mess, good thing that the few bones that are jutting out never managed to reach Oscar’s chest.

“You alright old man?” I said.

“Yeah, good thing I blocked in time; it would’ve torn a hole in my chest if I didn’t. My hands felt the force of it and it’s like getting hit with a sledgehammer. Damn shame on the gun though.” Oscar said while he opened his shirt to breathe a little easier.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and we rested for a moment.

Tatiana handed her shotgun over to Oscar as we pulled him up. His eyes lit up and he said, “An Italian shotgun eh? I’m starting to like you, thanks for the save earlier.” Tatiana just smiled and just reloaded her pistol.

“Could that be all of them?” my uncle asked.

“Maybe, but we still need to check every house. Be very careful and focus on the sprinters if you see one. Can you still lead the other group old man? Tatiana can take over for the time being.” I said.


“Hah! I’ll break your bones if you wouldn’t let me.” he said immediately.

“Hah! Says the one who almost got knocked out!” I retorted.

The group gave a laugh and we started on slowly checking each house. Tatiana was in front while Kaley is in the middle, I guarded the rear in case they didn’t notice anything from behind. We rattled a few doors, checked each corner and found a few zombies trapped inside a door but we easily killed them silently. I marked each door and I taught Tatiana on how each one works and she remembered them after a while. We took mostly an hour in checking from our side and when we meet the group in the road, they were all there just waiting for us.

“You kids done there? You took your sweet time there eh? Everything there is barren and we only found a few supplies worth taking. We could in the future dismantle all these materials for a better use since most of these was just hammered in.” Oscar said.

“Same on our side. We could do that gradually after we decide on the place to put miscellaneous building materials.” I said.

He nodded and Russel suddenly spoke, “Hey, why aren’t we going for the shops outside first? There would be a lot to take there right?”

“True, I plan on going runs outside after this place is secure.” I said.

“No, I mean we have the compound there, we should’ve got more supplies outside after the broadcast, other people might’ve taken some of the more important stuff.” he explained.

I saw some of the guys nodding in agreement with Russel.

“That’s true but there’s a problem in doing that at that time. I think only Oscar and I could go outside on the time it hit.” I said.

“Huh? What do you mean?” Mark asked.

“Don’t move.” I said.

I drew my pistol and pointed it at Russel, he flinched and the group threw worried gazes at me.
