Furious and rage in my eyes I prepare to face a zombie, fortunately they are far enough and I think I can attract only one of them out of the three. I held my wooden dagger firmly, just before leaving to face a zombie Arianna managed to catch my arm.
" Are you out of your mind? What do you think you’re doing? It’s not a game, you can really die.. " she tells me that crying.
" We have no choice we are surrounded, everything will be fine, the zombies are slow I can have the upper hand thanks to my speed. "
" In stories when a zombie bites you or claws you, you become one of them.. I can’t stand to lose you, or worse, watch you turn into a zombie, you mean too much to me for me to let you go off and fight like that, let’s just hide. "
I didn’t answer, but I kissed her forehead and turned around ready to fight.
" Be careful, Hector, I support you in your decision it is true our only way forward now is to have the system, when my ankle gets better we will fight side by side my brother. "
These words warm my heart, filling me with courage, I’m heading towards my target, a simple slow zombie and at first sight harmless.
I didn’t turn around to look at others but I could feel their anguish and fear.
" Let’s start the first round zombie. "
The zombie seemed to understand what I was saying and all of a sudden.. the zombie speeds up, the slow and harmless zombie suddenly turned into a formidable predator for humans, his speed did not exceed that of a child running but it was still scary, I’ve never killed a living thing in my life.. I have to fight to survive..
The eyes of the zombie became more and more red as he approached me it seemed as if those eyes were shining, he was attracted to human flesh so I must protect myself and let him in no way touch me, Since I don’t know what happens if I get bit or scratched.
The zombie was more than 5 meters away from me, I brandished my dagger and put myself in a defensive posture, I wait for him to get a little closer so I can pierce his heart.
The movements of the zombie were unpredictable he was running from right to left with a limping leg and his arms were swinging from all sides as if he were possessed, it was really scary..
The zombie reach me so I stab him in the heart, with a sharp blow, aggressive but a little reticent I pierce his heart. The zombie did not flinch, grabbed my arm and clawed at me, his scratches had opened my skin by 2 cm, a cry of pain came out of my mouth as well as a few tears running down my cheeks. I pushed him away and Knocked him down with a big kick.. The pain was unbearable..
" Hector! " Arianna cried in a trembling voice..
" Everything is fine I can keep fighting, it’s just that it burns.. But I don’t understand I pierced his heart but he didn’t die, that had no effect..
" Aim for the head Hector, that’s their weak spot like in any video game, they no longer have hearts, they became monsters so only the head can kill them." Cried out Brendon.
" Okay, I’ll try to aim for the head then. "
" Be careful, Hector, please make sure you get out of this unscathed, I hope this scratch doesn’t change you.. " Arianna told me in a trembling voice and tears appeared on her cheeks..
The zombie got up but seemed more angry, accelerating his speed again, he found himself next to me in a few seconds. This time I have to aim for the head apparently it’s the weak point, without brain they die.
I try to stab him in the head but against all expectations the zombie defended himself leaving only a slight cut along his arm, after seeing that the injury did not affect the zombie, I backed back 3 meters.
" Talk about a gift.. this dagger can’t even cut a zombie properly and we’re supposed to kill him with.. what a joke.. "
Leaving me barely time to breathe, the zombie attacks again, but I change tactics, if I can kick him to the ground, killing him will be easier. He was only a few centimeters away from being able to scratch me again, but just before I gave him a powerful kick, the zombie retreated 1 meter, he was destabilized but did not fall. Before he could react I rushed towards him, giving him a big kick again but this time I aimed at the legs to force him to fall. The zombie’s leg folded in the opposite direction of the normal direction and fell to the ground, fortunately it is a zombie because the scene was disgusting to see.. he could no longer get up but despite that he continued to crawl towards me. It is really a monster no matter how much physical damage is inflicted, it does not feel pain and is constantly attracted by one thing, human flesh, funny fuel but good everyone his delusion.
I was delighted to see him fall on the ground without him being able to get up, I thought of nothing but to finish fighting as soon as possible to get this system.
Without delay I throw myself on the zombie the dagger ahead ready to pierce what is on my road, luckily it is his head, when the dagger touches the zombie’s head, the dagger sank only 2 centimeters while I put all my strength.. Really a shit dagger..
An uncontrollable rage erupts in me, I wanted to make this zombie pay for scratching my arm, I removed my dagger and with all my strength I stabbed him 3 times, each time the wound became deeper, the third hit was so powerful that the dagger broke into two pieces, one piece in my hand and another in the zombie’s skull.
" Is it over? I killed him alone.. what a relief, " I said to myself
" Hector ! " Arianna ran to me with tears in her eyes but relieved that I managed to kill the zombie.
" Let’s step back so we don’t attract the other 2 zombies first " I said with a big smile but the pain in my arm that was burning me had not gone away.
The others joined Arianna just after congratulating me but especially by helping me put a bandage with pieces of their t-shirt the wound that the zombie inflicted on me.
Suddenly a bell rang in my head.
" DING ".
