Chapter 44: Event

"Zombies? For real?" Olivia mumbled under her breath. She was baffled and neither Liam nor the others could avoid feeling just like her.

They were taken aback and had gone a little numb at the sheer uncountable number of ragged figures with terrifying bodies slowly advancing toward them. Their skin was a sickly gray that stretched over their flesh and bones. Some had open wounds, gaping holes that revealed bits of muscle, flesh, and bone below. Their lifeless dead eyes were reddish in color and it looked like they were gazing at nothing as they paced forward.

As the first zombies entered the large plaza in front of the gymnasium, their grunts and groans filled the air. The sound bounced off the buildings all around, further amplifying it and they carried the sensation of death and dread with it. They mindlessly lurched forward, drawn to the living they sensed in front of them.
