Level up Zombie

Zain targeted the Spitter because he knew killing this second-stage mutated zombie would end their biggest concern. After that, the group would get out of the supermarket, find the lorry and escape somewhere, but the situation took an unexpected turn.

For a moment, Zain hoped that the red liquid wouldn't work. With the Spitter zombie dead, maybe it couldn't control them, but it didn't take long for Zain to know that it had worked because he could sense it.

When the red liquid landed on the floor, it didn't react, but now that it was on Skittle, Zain could sense an aroma and felt a strong urge to walk towards it. For Zain, it was easy to hold back, but for all the other zombies, who could no longer use their brains properly, they were unable to.

They had already stopped focusing on the entire group as all the zombies in the area headed towards Skittle. Since Mark opened the store shutters a while ago, over a hundred zombies were already inside.

"No..no!" Skittle's voice cracked.

Kelly instinctively stepped away from him as the zombies began to move even faster as they got closer. One of them leapt from its position even with a broken leg and jumped at Skittle.

Although he had a hammer in his hand, he was still in a stupor and couldn't react in time. Fortunately, just then, someone swung down a large bat as it hit the zombie on top of the head, breaking its skull and stomping it to the floor.

"Don't worry, Skittle, we can get out of this!" The person was none other than Buke. He was now covered in zombies' guts and was visibly sweating.

He and the others except Zain were all exhausted from defending themselves from the zombies.

Cody didn't falter though, and Kelly had come back with the second wind of confidence, a will to live.

A couple of seconds later, they heard a resounding crash in the distance. It was from past the freezer room, close to where the deliveries would come from.

A door had fallen, but fallen wouldn't be the best way to describe it. It had been pushed. As soon as the crash subsided, grunts resonated in the store, and through the door, more Zombies were coming toward them. They continued to pour in through the door, blocking the entire way to the trucks and exit.

"We're trapped. We have no way of getting out of this situation. They've blocked us in!" Kelly panicked.

Usually, in this type of situation, Skittle would have felt guilty and grumbled to himself about why he hadn't been paying attention and could have stepped away from the spit. Right now, he could only think about getting out of this situation alive, but his hands had frozen out of fear.

On the other hand, just as Buke took down another zombie, Zain stepped in and struck down two more zombies.

"We stick to the plan!" He shouted. "Right now, they are just after Skittle and me. We have to use this to our advantage. I'll protect Skittle, and we will run around this whole place. Once the hallway is clear, you guys get on that truck and get out of this place."

Although they didn't want to risk abandoning them, Zain was right. The outcome of the situation was actually better for them all. If Skittle led the zombies away, their escape would be nearly a hundred percent confirmed.

It was just no one was willing to say this. Would anyone be willing to do this, or act on this thought.

"You're planning to stay here, Zain? They're not after you, but him!" Buke shouted. "Either way, let's all get out of here!"

By now, countless zombies had already gathered around them, and stepping back away from the others, along with Skittle, Zain had his weapons out to protect him.

"Look at me," Zain replied while pointing at his arm. There was a deep bite mark on his blood-covered hand. "I was already bit by that thing. I'm not one of them yet, but I eventually will be."

"You know what I'm like. I will do everything I can to ensure Skittle survives, but it's the same for you, Buke. So get out of here!" Zain urged and started to run, and along with him was Skittle.

They had picked one of the aisles, and even this place was filled with zombies, though the numbers were considerably low.

Zain didn't hesitate to attack them while thinking about how to get out of the situation because when he reached the end of the aisle, he could see the zombies were still pouring in from the entrance.

——

Buke wanted to chase after his two friends badly, but his own life took priority in a situation like this. It didn't take long for the zombies to clear out of the path toward the freezer section, and the group didn't waste this opportunity as they started to run.

"Come on! You heard Zain. You said you trusted him, didn't you?" Kelly asked. "Then trust him one more time."

After the other two left, Buke followed them, but he couldn't help but think about what had just happened.

'Zain showed he was bit…I guess I was wrong about him. It looks like he will be turning into one of them. Goodbye, my good friend...and Skittle, I hope you can get out of this situation.' Buke took a deep breath and increased his pace.

They soon stepped out of the store and found two trucks parked near the exit. One had its door open with a body lying upside down as if someone had tried to pull it out of the truck. When they rushed over, they were relieved to find the key still in the truck.

"Does anyone know how to drive?" Cody asked. "I'm too young."

"I've never driven before."

"I have," Kelly answered. "But I'm still learning. I haven't passed yet."

With all of their options in front of them, they could only rely on Kelly. So the three of them sat inside, and Kelly took the driver's seat. With the turn of the key, the engine started, and they could feel the familiar vibration within the driver's cabin.

A beeping noise went off as the truck backed out of the supermarket. Regardless, all the zombies seemed to ignore it as they continued to enter the supermarket.

After successfully turning enough, they could now head off and onto the road.

'Am I doing the right thing? Leaving the two of them? Would they have done the same for me?' Buke thought, biting his lip so hard that it started to bleed.

There was no turning back on the road, and thinking of this, tears started to stream down Buke's cheeks. No matter how strong Zain and Skittle were, there was no chance for the two of them to get out of that.
