Level up Zombie

151 Pizza hand



Looking out of the window and seeing that Cody was still moving, Kun was happy to see that the other was safe and sound, but now they had their problem to deal with. Immediately, he turned towards the door, and by now, the nasty odour had also reached the hallway.

“I believe the two of us will have to be on top of our game to get out of this one,” Kun said while holding the gun up.

Hearing this, Pink actually put her weapon away, as she was much more comfortable and confident with using her own body to fight. And with this, the two took a fighting stance.

The next moment, a screeching cry came from the other side. And instantly, breaking the door, and cutting through it, bit by bit, it looked like some kind of a saw that was spinning and cutting through the door.

A few moments later, half of one of the doors fell to the ground, and now both of them could see what they were facing.

As soon as they saw the sight in front of them, they were shocked. Pink involuntarily brought her hand over her mouth as she cried in confusion and stupor, “What..is that?”

It was hard to tell just from looking at it whether it was a human or if it was a zombie because it didn’t look like any of the two. The creature had a somewhat human body-like shape, but there were blood-soaked bandages wrapped around it from head to toe.

Its head was twice the size of an average human, and it was hard to figure out the exact face since the head was wrapped around the most in bandages. Its legs were gigantic and split apart, making it look like a crab.

And, other than that, it also had its hand chopped off below the elbow, and replacing that limb was something that looked like a round saw. It had a sharp edge with spike ends and was circular in shape. One clear look would tell that it was a tool used by doctors to cut open the skulls of others during an operation or surgery. In addition, there were strange red tendons that had formed around it as if the hand had grown around the saw and it had become part of the creature’s body.

“I’m still unsure if that’s a zombie or a human….what the hell has this doctor been doing to the people here? How can they still follow him!” Pink was breathing heavily, almost in tears, because she couldn’t believe that her mother was in the hands of the said person. And to make it worse, she was the one that had agreed to send her mother to this monster, and she couldn’t imagine the things that were happening to the former right now.

“I’m sorry, I don’t know if you are alive in there, but I need to get past you to make sure no one else suffers from the same thing as you,” Kun said, not knowing whether or not the creature understood his words.

And upon seeing no response. Kun raised his hand and carefully aimed the gun. The head was a big target, and the next moment, he shot out a burst of bullets towards the head. They pierced it just like they would have done anyone else, creating several holes and pushing the creature by a few steps.

However, it didn’t fall down but instead screamed. Then, running ahead, it bashed the doors open, throwing them off their hinges completely.

Shooting out more bursts of bullets toward the creature, Kun tried to stop it by targeting the brain, but it didn’t look like the normal method was working on this creature.

“That isn’t working!” Pink shouted as she charged forward. However, when she got close, the creature swung its arm, and the saw missed Pink by around an inch. Whatever this creature was, it was faster than a regular zombie. Nevertheless, she had also increased her agility since upgrading herself with the help of crystals.

Immediately, she kicked the saw hand as hard as possible, making the creature’s body wobble to the side. And when its other hand was coming towards Pink, she chose to ignore it and was getting ready to deliver a knife kick toward the head because she was confident her partner had her back.

Just as expected, gunshots rang out, and the bullets pierced through the other arm, hitting it away and causing the creature to flinch. Now, when she jumped up and spun her leg, a blade appeared out of Pink’s boot and landed right in the side of the creature’s head.

It was a powerful hit, so hard that it tilted the large creature’s body onto its side, causing it to fall to the ground.

“This thing… it’s still alive.” Pink said as she could see that it was still breathing, still moving and attempting to get back up.

“Then just ignore it, and let’s keep moving,” Kun said as he ran past them, and Pink wasn’t so far behind either. However, when they entered the main reception hall, they found that the creature they had faced wasn’t the only one they would have to deal with.

In the reception room on the ground floor, Dave was still holding his gun. But after the doctor’s words were broadcasted throughout the hospital, it looked to have been changing the views and opinions of a few people in the room. The doctor’s words had struck fear in their minds once again, and now, what Dave had done before was starting to disappear from their minds.

“Everyone be quiet!” Dave shouted. “If you keep talking, I will have to shoot this thing.”

His hands were shaking again, trembling from the shock which he still hadn’t processed of what he had done before. Shooting someone who was begging for life and someone alive and well were two completely different things altogether.

“Look, his hands are shaking. He’s scared, we will definitely be able to do something.”

These comments made Dave even more nervous than before, and he could tell if he didn’t do something now, then the situation would only get worse.

‘What do I do!’ Dave was racking his brain for an answer, ‘Who do I shoot? Someone how old, but what if they die? They will bleed out because of me…but Brandon trusted me, if I don’t do this, then we all will die, and then what will happen to everyone else at the museum.’

At the same time, there were conflicting thoughts in Dave’s head. This was a hospital with a doctor, and what had they ever done?

Brandon hadn’t updated Dave on what was actually happening, and it meant the latter had no clue what was actually happening. He was just given an order that he needed to follow. But at the end of the day, he was just a normal university student, not a trained professional.

‘I…I can’t do this. Dave squinted, and before he knew it, he felt something heavy hit his hand. The grip around the gun had loosened, and it was heard falling to the floor and sliding across it.

Another thud was heard, and a water bottle could be seen on the floor. While he was distracted, one of the others threw it and hit the gun. Immediately, Dave could see the people coming towards him.

However, he knew what was dangerous and dived for the gun. His body was now on top of it, but before his hands could reach it, he felt a kick, a punch, and now a bombardment of hits rained down upon him.

Never in his life had Dave felt this kind of pain. He was getting stomped, hit, kicked, and punched, and he was sure his bones would break because everyone was hitting him as hard as they could. But if he moved away from the gun, he felt like he would die. However, staying in this potion as well would also only lead to the same outcome.

“Kill him! Kill him and tell the doctor!” A man shouted as he used his fists and hammered down right on Dave’s head. He used the bottom part of his hands, but the good thing was Dave had been informed what to do in this situation, and it was to turtle up.

Both hands covered the back of his head, and he brought his knees close to his body to protect his vitals until the grip on his head worsened.

“You f*cker, you really pointed a gun at us, but you couldn’t even use it!” The man shouted. “You made us fear for our lives, someone like you? I can’t wait to make you do unimaginable things with the debt you will have after this!”

The man then went and lifted one of the chairs. The others moved away, allowing him to get through, then with the metal legs, he lifted it and was ready to slam it right on Dave’s head.

“You should have killed me when you had the chance, you f*cking stupid boy!” The man shouted in anger, ready to hammer it down.

*BANG *BANG *BANG

The man stopped with the chair midway as he looked down at his chest, and in the next instant, he fell to the floor. There were three bullet holes in him, and the man was dead.

“He might be afraid to shoot you all, but I won’t hesitate to shoot you, and right now, I think all of you deserve to die.”

A red-haired young man wearing a hoodie walked in with a gun pointed at them.

Instantly, silence fell in the room once again.
