Chapter 1: Betrayal
"Run, we need to get out of here."
Vincent ordered as he ran in the nearest building's direction.
"Ah! Don't leave me!"
One of the bitten friends cried for help.
"I'm sorry Axel, you know there is no cure for a zombie bite. Goodbye."
"Vincent! There is a highly mutated making his way here from the back of the crowd! Quit talking and close the door!"
Natasha pushed him to the side and closed the doors.
"It was close! You can't be like this anymore! We lost so many people already. Why is it only you who behaves like this every time? Can't you- Cough!"
She couldn't finish talking, because suddenly on her neck appeared a bite mark.
"Let's go to another room! There is a zombie with camouflage skills somewhere near! If he gets inside with us, we are dead."
"Argh!"
They closed the doors behind them and went to the highest floor. After they got there, Vincent started counting how many of his friends are still alive.
'Four? So we lost three even when we aborted the mission.'
The situation was so bad that he wanted to believe it is all just a nightmare.
"Vincent, get a hold of yourself! We need to think of a way to get out of here!"
"Alright, let me have a look outside."
There is a solid reason why Vincent survived until now. He was perfect at using the surrounding environment to his advantage.
"300,400,600,1000! It's rare to see such a big horde of level 2 zombies! It will be hard-"
Vincent suddenly felt a cold shudder going through his body. He jumped back, only to see a small flying zombie missing his neck by an inch.
"Flying one is inside! Be careful, everyone!"
Pew!
"Flying one is down!"
Rex's aiming skills were as good as always. He took it down only after a few seconds before it got inside.
"This silencer really works well! The zombies didn't get more aggressive than before."
It amazed everyone that even when there are a thousand zombies outside, none of them were freaking out.
"Yeah, I guess we are too high. Even if they heard it, they can't jump onto this floor. Even hopper on the fourth level can't get here in one jump."
"Check if someone got hurt! We've never seen a flying zombie this fast, it was probably at the peak of level five!"
Jack was level-headed, as always. There was no vice leader in this group, but if there is someone who the entire group listens to except Vincent, it's him.
"Hey, John, why are you hiding your hand? Show it! The flying zombie bit you! If you let me kill you, you will leave this world as a human!"
As expected, even if only a few seconds passed since the flying zombie got inside, someone got bit.
"LET GO!"
John pulled out his knife and stabbed his friend.
"What? You…"
The friend had a look of disbelief as he looked at his bleeding neck and John repeatedly.
"You psycho! After all these years together you killed him?"
Amidst the chaos, Vincent tried to understand what went wrong.
'We followed the plan and walked through the 'clear' road. How could a thousand level two zombies and over five high leveled mutants be overlooked? Even if I add all the level two zombies I have seen in the previous three years, there weren't this many of them. No matter how I look at this, there is only one explanation. Thomas has set us up.'
Thomas, the leader and the co-creator of this group. After Vincent met him one year after the apocalypse started. Together, they created this group to unite the survivors and create a safe place for everyone with good intentions.
'After all this time, you still see me as a threat to your comfortable life?!'
Vincent tightly squeezed his fist.
'If only back then, I didn't say those stupid words. Maybe nothing like this would've happened.'
"Argh!"
Sharp pain in his arm brought Vincent back to reality.
"I was lost in thoughts for so long? While I was thinking about the past, all my friends died. It's okay John, I don't blame you."
Vincent took a knife and stabbed the zombie's skull until it fell.
"Thomas, I don't understand. Why did you send us to our death? I never planned to be the leader. I was happy with the current state of our group. You did a lot of stupid things before, and I forgave you for them, but I don't think I can forgive you this time."
Vincent leaned through the window and reminiscence about the past.
The level two zombies were banging on the building, slowly destroying it, but all Vincent heard was silence.
"All these events really were something else. I can't be sure if it's not because of me the apocalypse broke out, but I guess I can't be blamed. I was only six back then."
There was a secret no one knew about Vincent. On the day the apocalypse started, he said words he carried since he was a child and felt them every time that someone close to him died.
"Zombies? They look cool. I wish that there was a zombie apocalypse."
As if the god heard it, only a few minutes passed, when everyone passed out, and more than half of the population turned into zombies.
Maybe back then it was a coincidence, but right now, when Vincent was close to death, he had only one thing in mind.
"Why don't I try? Even if I will get disappointed by the result, it's still better than dying without even trying to save myself. I can feel that I'm slowly changing. I need to find a wish quickly."
"But how does it even work? There is no way that I created such a complex creature as the current zombie! If this thing fills the details, then I should focus on my biggest desire and deal with everything that goes wrong later."
"I wish everything got back to how it was back when I was six?"
Vincent immediately knew that this would not work. It was as someone explained it to him.
"Since it won't work this way, then how should I do it so it works?"
He had little time to think left. This building was slowly falling apart after being attacked by the zombie horde.
With only a few tries left, Vincent started saying everything that came to his mind.
"I wish my friends were still alive."
Rejected.
"I wish I could turn back time."
Rejected.
When Vincent was already falling to the ground, he said the last wish that he could think of.
"I wish I had a chance to take revenge in a fair fight against Thomas!"
