Doomsday Pillars

"All set!!"

"There's not much else to do, remember, in and out. I will lead, Roy and Rick both of you on my side, Romi and Daisy watch our back."

"It's any second now...."

Tar!! Tar!! Tar!! Tar!! Tar!! Tar!! Tar!!

This loud sound was the Chinese new year's firecrackers, it blew multiple times in a minute. The group set it up a while ago on the other end of the mall, they use this tactic before to draw away the zombies. It's very effective, but on the negative side, it will bring more zombies inside the mall. Time was short, they must quickly run and save the boy.

While the firecrackers were still making loud noises and most of the zombies were attracted to the other side:

BANG!! BANG!! BANG!! BANG!! BANG!!

The group of five went in guns blazing using handguns, their main targets were the red mutated zombies, these were the main threats. With these mutated zombies gone, the threat level would go down significantly.

The group emptied out their handgun magazines, dozens of zombies and 6 of the red mutated zombies died by the gun barrage.

"Let's move!!"

Five people hack and slashed the zombies swiftly without stop straight into the restaurant entrance. Adam, Roy, and Rick held down the entrance, while Daisy and Romi quickly entered. They cleared out the few zombies inside and quickly went to the back kitchen. Without electricity, the back room was very dark, it also stunk of rotten foods and corpses. Daisy saw piles of zombie corpses, mostly mutilated in pieces.

"The storage freezer.", Daisy said.

Romi quickly opened up the steel door, just a step inside and suddenly a figure jumped in on him...

SWISSHH!! It was a fast knife slash. Romi was in panic, the slashes went straight to his neck.

CLANK!! Daisy with her peak stage speed was able to quickly help and parry the knife attack, the figure quickly hopped to the side. It was the boy, he seemed to be in a crazed state, messy hair, eyes red and body thin like a skeleton...

"Calm down, we are here to help, we won't hurt you..."

The boy stared at daisy and quickly dropped to his knees and let go of the knife... He fell to the kitchen floor. It seems he's really tired and just used the last ounce of his energy for this attack.

Daisy moved closer to the boy. The boy seemed to be 12 years or 13 years old, his body very thin. Daisy assumed this boy must not have eaten anything for the last few days. The boy was so malnourished that his skin seemed to almost fall off.

Daisy gave the boy some water and a piece of her chocolate bar, the boy was still staring at Daisy while eating the chocolate slowly.

Daisy looked at Romi and said:

"Give me one spirit stone. I heard you got one before."

Romi gave the one spirit stone while sulking in helplessness. Daisy gave the spirit stone to the boy, the spirit stone was a very nutritious item, it would help his recovery.

"What's your name?"

.

The boy seemed to be lost in thought for a while, Daisy could only imagine what the boy went through the last 20 days. He slowly said: "Tommy."

"Hi Tommy, you can call me Sister Daisy, you seem to be a tough kid, do you think you can come with us, we'll go away together from these monsters ok?"

Tommy just nodded, Daisy took his arm and helped him stand up. Romi, after being given a cold stare from Daisy quickly helped carry the boy and walked out of the kitchen.

The situation outside the kitchen was chaotic. The three were fighting at the choke point, in front of the entrance. Suddenly two red zombies jumped through the window display. The two got past Adam and went straight to Daisy.

Daisy quickly took out her knife and threw three of them. One of the red zombies got critically stabbed in the head, dead. The other one got two knife-stabs in its shoulder... It continued its advance to Daisy, she was not prepared.

"Nooo!!" Adam panicked.

Suddenly a shadow figure jumped onto the mutated zombie, held its foot preventing it from attacking Daisy, another figure jumped to its shoulder, took the two knives and quickly stabbed them into the zombie's head. The shadow figure dispersed into smoke while the one holding the knife was Tommy. It seemed Tommy already took a few spirit stones, he appeared no weaker than a high stage mortal realm fighter.

Adam's relieved, but they were not safe yet.

"The horde has returned... more are coming.. we must hurry.."

Romi quickly carried Tommy again, the group moved out quickly heading to the escalators up to the second floor. Most zombies found it difficult to follow them up to the stairs. There were still a few of the red zombies chasing the group.

They swiftly moved out of the exit door and headed to the second-floor parking space. They kept running until the end of the building and jumped down to the street outside the mall.

All sweaty Romi said:

"Hahaha we are safe in one piece."

"Don't Jinx it.."

CRANKK… CRANKK

Glass shattered, dozens of red zombies jumping out of the mall windows followed by hundreds of normal zombies. From one end of the street, Adam could also see another dozen red zombies swiftly heading to the group.

"Fuxxxxxx you see what you did Romi..."

"What did I do?"

"Daisy, find the safe passage... Run for it boys.."

The group ran full speed, they could outrun the normal zombies, but not the mutated ones. They are out in the open, 30 mutated zombies gradually turned to 40 then 60...

"I am so tired, I really need a break."

"OMG, there's about one hundred of those now, is this the end...?"

Adam, calculating the situation, knowing the base was still a few kilometers away, he suddenly said:

"Daisy you bring the boy back to the base, I'll hold them back a while."

Daisy suddenly stopped running, eyes closed concentrating.

Roy said "No way you stay alone leader, I will stay with you..."

"Me too..." Rick respond.

This gang of misfits might be crazy or reckless, but they were very brave and trustworthy, Adam felt no regret if he had to die with them at this moment, he stared at Rick, Roy, and Romi...

Romi smily said "Actually, Leader I can't run anymore... I have no choice but to stay with you."

.

"..."

.

Daisy open her eyes starring at Adam...

"don't worry they are here."

BRRRMMMMM... A bus drove heading to the group, it was Jason and the other misfits.

"Leader, we came back for you, and we brought a guest."

The ground was shakings... The tank cavalry was coming... 5 Direct Fire Vehicles Badak (Rhino) fitted with a Belgian CMI Defence CSE 90LP turret armed with a 90mm gun fitted with a muzzle brake, and 7.62mm machine gun.

BOOOMMM!!! BOOOMMM!!! BOOOMMM!!!

Dratatatatatat….Dratatatattatat

Multiple cannon shots, dozens of the mutated zombies splashed like watermelons. The shots followed with machine guns managed to annihilate half of the pursuing red zombies. Next, a group of fighters all high and peak stage experts using edges weapons assaulted the surviving zombies. A hundred mutated zombie threat was gone in less than 5 minutes.

A figure walked closer to Adam,

"How do you like the tanks? It's beauty, right? Let's head back now."

"Ok, father."
