Chapter 14

WHAT A BUMMER. I’d only just gotten into the rhythm as well. Those bastards don’t understand anything, I complained to myself as I trudged down the street.

Still, everything was good, and returning from the hospital, I settled down on the balcony to whack zombies.

I was interrupted by Combat, who came running personally and asked me to stop. Couldn’t I see that the mound of dead zombies had nearly reached the second floor. But I… What? I was fine, I needed boxes. I’d gotten so carried away that I’d left the people practically zombieless. They just didn’t shoot fast enough.

I was ejected from my favorite spot on the balcony and sent in search of large crowds of zombies in the city.

* * *

Sitting on a dusty gray Audi parked at the curbside, I tried to understand how this had come to be. I’d become so lost in thought that I’d wandered into an unfamiliar area and almost gotten lost. However, miracle of miracles, I now had a map. I opened it and was surprised.

I happened to be not far from the base of a group of people whom Combat had marked on the map as friends.

Two of them had skills. It said there were approximately fifteen adults, but not how many of them were women or children. Not exactly useful.

With my fingers hurting from so much shooting, I figured the only thing to do was pay them a visit.

Another quick check with the map told me I was very close to their building, but strangely there were no people in it.

Perhaps they’d moved? Or perhaps Combat had made a mistake and marked the wrong building? No, I dismissed that possibility off hand, he wasn’t the sort to make mistakes. More likely I was mistaken or the map was glitching.

But since I was here, I would reconnoiter the situation. My X-ray vision couldn’t reach them just yet, so perhaps they’d based themselves in a room further away.

The closer I got, the less I liked the situation. I already knew what had happened, but I tried not to think about the worst case scenario.

Five corpses were stuck to the wall of the building by a spiderweb. The web was different to the one I’d seen before, which was like a metallic mesh of sticky wires. By contrast, this was white, like that of the comic-book hero.

This was definitely not the doing of a monster. Monsters did not shoot their victims with weapons, and these corpses bore bullet holes.

I found the base immediately, abandoned, and recently so. In the spacious apartment were several corpses, shot in the head, bound hands, signs of torture.

So there it was, humanity in all its glory. What was to love about it? I should probably thank fate I’d been lucky enough to fall in with a reasonable group.

I was no saint either, but I didn’t kill peaceful people for no reason or for sport.

I killed extremists. Exclusively. If I were to be clipped one day by someone like me, I wouldn’t even take offense.
