Chapter 5: Struggle

Chapter 5: Struggle

Desperately he ran towards the kitchen. With already heavy breathing he quickly locked the kitchen doors once he was inside.

But before he could even take a deep breath, there were already people,

no sorry, zombies waiting for him. The only reason he was alive up until

now despite his continuous foolish mistakes was because the zombies

were simply too slow. For an average man, zombies run at their walking

speed but even for a lazy practitioner of ancient martial arts, zombies

were simply slugs.

Combined with the effect from the bonus agility, the zombies in front of

looked incredibly sluggish. But due to his low stamina, his own

movements were no longer graceful but were a desperate struggle to

survive.

He smashed his foot on the floor to gain the momentum, this gave him a

head start as he jumped towards the nearest zombie. In total there were

three of them, but thankfully they were standing far apart from each

other.

With his increased strength, Keta chopped towards the zombie. His aim

faltered due to the excessive fatigue and the hunting knife chopped of

the zombie's arm. Forgetting all martial arts, Keta was simply now

sending countless slashes towards the zombie.

He was pressured, no matter how many times he slashed at the zombie,

even with his increased strength, all it did was somehow stop it in its

track. But unfortunately stalling for time was not a strategy he could

use because zombie reinforcements were already on their way.

'Think damnit!' shouted Keta loud in his mind.

All this happened in the time for one to take ten breaths. By now the

other two zombies were already making their way towards Keta, attracted

from the noise generated from Keta's fighting.

'fuck it..damnit' said Keta in a low shout, afraid to attract even more

zombies as he grabbed the kitchen knife which was simply left on the

basin near him.

Keta knew, this time his mother's laziness to put the knife back in the

shelf had saved, even after death she was helping him.. With no spare

time to laugh, he hurled the knife without taking much of an aim towards

the zombie standing in front of him. The hit was right on the mark, all

those aim/fire games actually did some good to Keta.

Seeing this, Keta wanted to retort to those who always told Keta that he was wasting his time on these foolish kids games.

Several screens casually appeared in front of his eyes somewhat blocking

his view of the approaching zombies. In his highly concentrated state,

Keta quickly dismissed the messages as if he was dealing with his touch

mobile and it actually worked.

In the spur of the moment, Keta never realized the fact and just

continued towards the zombie. Realizing the importance of the first

strike, Keta now moved towards the next nearest zombie, completely

ignoring the azure ball that appeared over the killed zombie.

With heavy panting, he stopped in his tracks. Now the distance between

the zombie and him was only of four breaths at maximum. Arching his

right hand back, as if charging a Gatling gun He gripped hard on his

hunting knife, tilting it slightly in his hands.

As he waited for the zombie to approach, he realized this was the most

concentrated moment in his entire life. Even this thought was a

distracting thought, quickly dismissing it mercilessly he patiently

waited just like a hunter waiting for his prey to approach.

Cold sweat ran down his spine, after all guts and boldness couldn't be

gained in a day. Despite being scared shirtless he didn't abandon his

posture. Because now the zombie was already in the range of his attack,

it was now either him or the zombie. Their life depended on it, only the

zombie was already the dead walking.

Like a cannon ball launched from a cannon, his hand became a blur as the

hunting knife already pierced the zombie's face. In one clear strike

the zombie was killed, even though in writing it was simply written but

the events that took place were very critical. The accurate moment to

launch the attack, the precision of the action and the most important,

his wavering focus at the moment of life and death.

Some lights shined on the newly dead zombie's corpse. At this moment

even Keta's mental energy was almost depleted. Coupled together with the

fact that he was starving for two days and now he was extremely

exhausted not only physically but mentally too, he quickly fell to his

knees, breathing like his life depended on it.

The last zombie had now already arrived. With no more strength to even

life a single finger, Keta helplessly watched as the zombie approached

him. His eyes became lifeless and his face became pale, the rebound of

those previously forced efforts had already hit him. Combined with the

effect of hopelessness, it acted like a deadly poison corroding his last

strand of remaining will
