Whoosh!

The glow on Nika's body flickered. He moves in a flash, blending with the wind. He appeared in front of the zombie, sending tens of punches in a blink of an eye. The resounding punch reverberated and echoed far and near.

A scream escaped from the zombie's mouth. It tried to defend against the attack but Nika punched and rained on it from every angle. The zombie kept retreating, the glow in its eyes flickered, dimming every second.

Bang!

Nika punched and shattered some bones of the zombie. Yet, its punch didn't, for once, stop. He appeared around the zombie with a powerful punch.

The zombie tried to raise his weapon but encounter a punch from Nika, forcing it to drop its ax. Nika rained hundred of punches on the zombie. Its back was already on the building and couldn't retreat anymore.

He was just too fast.

Bang!

Another punch sends the zombie on its knee. Its hollow eyes had little to no fire in them. Suddenly, a powerful gush of wind blew toward the zombie's face.

The little flickered and disappeared. Then a deafening sound echoed. Nika's punch rested on the chest of the zombie.

It shattered every rib and bone of the zombie with the powerful punch. Nika froze on the spot without blinking, his breath quicken. After a couple of seconds, he staggered backward, falling to the ground.

The golden circle over him disappeared. His face was ashen. He gnashed his teeth, veins protruding from his forehead. He inhaled deeply, looking at the continuous stream of blood from his chest.

'Will I die here?' He bit the corner of his lips and looked at the dreadful ongoing battle.

Nika and Chloe weren't any better. Their body was full of various injuries. Nasir was murmuring various unreasonable words, hacking the zombies with all his strength. It replaced his playful demeanor with bloodshot eyes.

Chloe's shirt was torn in various places, with blood covering her glasses. Her chest rises and falls with every swing of her knife.

Ah!

A miserable scream sounded in the far corner of the battle. Merab was covered in blood from head to toe.

While the zombie has some of its body shattered. Merab limped on one foot, looking straight into the zombie's eyes.

"It either you or me?" She murmured with determination. "And if you're going to take me down. I bring you along." She limped forward toward the zombie, biting her lips, eyes reddened, full of madness.

Nika blinked. He stared at Merab for a moment and shook his head. 'This is madness' He clutched his chest, and a miserable cried escape from his mouth. He inhaled a large gulp of air, trying to reduce the aching pain in his muscle. However, every fiber in his body was trembling.

"We can't die here…" He shook his head vehemently. Suddenly, the golden circle appeared on his head.

Whoosh!

On the other side, only a couple of feet separate Merab and the zombie. A cried escape from the zombie. It stepped forward and swung its giant sickle.

'Humph! Do you think I'm scared? I hope this works.'

However, before she could take another step. A gust of wind blew to her face, forcing her to take a step backward.

Bang!

The sudden powerful punch caught the zombie off guard. Its enormous body flew into the air and crashed into the nearby building. Merab gasped. Her eyes widened and Her heart skip a beat.

'Has he returned?' She couldn't stop her heart from racing.

"W-We need to leave." Nika's trembling voice echoed inside Merab's ears.

Crash!

Nika crashed against a burnt car but clenched his fist, stopping himself from falling to the ground.

He turned and looked at Merab. However, Merab froze, her mouth ajar. After a few seconds, she blinked twice and walk with a blank gaze toward Nika.

The ghastly injury on Nika's chest made her forget about her injury. 'How can he still move under such injury?' She sniffed; tears gather in her eyes.

She arrived in front of Nika, raising her hand to touch his face, but her hand hang in the air. She didn't know where to touch. Everywhere was covered in blood.

"We need to leave now before the zombie came attacking again. I still have a little strength I can force out a way for us." Nika's voice trembled, but his gaze was full of determination.

"Ok." Merab nodded.

Nika took a deep breath and veins protruded around his face. His hands trembling. Merab saw this but didn't utter a word. "Let go." He announced.

Whoosh!

He dashed toward Nasir and Chloe, sending every zombie on his way flying. When Chloe and Nasir saw Nika, they froze. They open their mouth, but the word stuck in their throat.

What should they say?

"We need to move," Merab announced.

"Ok!" Chloe and Nasir nodded.

"Nasir. Carry Merab. Chloe, you carry the bags. I will clear the way." With that, Nika turn and dashed toward the opposite street.

At once, Nasir carries Merab on his back, rushing after Nika while Chloe carries the bunch of bags all over her body and rushed after Nasir.

Suddenly, a fierce growl echoed from their back. Chloe looked back and both her eyes and the First Circle zombie met. She shivered and almost stumbled with the bags.

"Why must you always look back every time?" Merab scolded from Nasir's back.

Nika tried to swallow the blood in his throat, but it was too injured. He halted and puke out a lot of blood.

He dizzied, staggering left and right. He bit his tongue to clear his head. The golden circle on his head flickered and dimmed.

'I'm almost there,' He chanted in his heart.

Whoosh!

He rushed forward, leaving a trail of blood on the road. Every punch, every step, worsens his injury. Everything darkened in his sight.

However, Nika refuses to stop. He pushed his body to the limit. When he couldn't see anything, he tried to attack and cleared the part but his body shut down.

Bang!
