Chapter 8: Zombie Apocalypse (2/2)

10 meters…

The figure was heading straight toward him this time. Gray looked it straight in the eye as it drew closer, they were on the verge of colliding.

[Unpause]

Gray leaped from the wall before he could fall, watching as the figure passed right by.

[Pause]

The air under his legs paused, creating a platform under his feet before he leapt off of it and fell into the wall. His heart was pounding like crazy.

He saw it clearly this time: it was a corpse. What the hell could have possibly been happening outside for corpses to start falling? He wondered

The moment he reached the ledge, he couldn't wait to climb up and feel the fresh breeze. However, he didn't.

Something was definitely happening outside, his gut was screaming out danger. Futhermore, even if it wasn't, The military could be waiting for him outside the Labyrinth to bring him in for questioning.

No matter how tired he was, he had to play things carefully, so before going up fully, he leaned over to the edge to see what was waiting for him.

When he did, his eyes widened.

It was something he could never have imagined.

Blood bath, a scene straight out of hell. In the distance, corpses lay on the ground with flies swarming around them. The cars left out in the open, some with their windshields smashed and others with blood splattered all over them.

Smoke was rising from the surrounding buildings, almost filling the sky.

But that was no where near the worst.

There were corpses wandering around. Yes, corpses. There was no way they were people; some of them were missing arms, while others were missing legs, dragging their bodies as they moved. There were no pupils in their eyes, and their skin had turned pale even more than Gray's.

When Gray saw this, only two words entered his mind.

'Zombie Apocalypse.'

As he had seen a lot of movies in this genre, he certainly wasn't stupid enough not to recognize what was going on right away. However he still couldn't believe that such a thing was possible.

An explosion nearby suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

*KABOOM!*

The sound of a loud explosion reverberated far away from where Gray was, but the shock wave was so loud that some of the glass panels in the buildings nearby shattered.

Gunshots reverberated through the air, followed by blood curdling screams.

After that, like starving animals, the corpses began to run toward the direction the sound had come from, the car alarms once again blaring, disorienting some.

As they rushed after the sound, they could be seen falling into the labyrinth's hole as their bodies fell from the opposite side. One after the other, they disappeared into the hole. One problem was there were just too many.

Chaos reigned everywhere.

'What the hell happened?'

Gray who had no idea what to do now, was caught off guard by a sudden notification.

However, the notification did not seem to have come from the system, but rather from his phone, which was in his pocket.

”You're still working?” He questioned as he pulled it out.

Looking at the icon on the phone, he noticed that the notification had been 3 missed calls from an unknown number. Gray's phone was on one percent.

A single voice mail was left.

There were still zombies in the area, due to obstacles blocking their path, they were unable to chase after the sounds. A few lacked the mobility of having legs missing which is another reason why they couldn't

Either way, they weren't leaving.

While he waited for the nearby zombies to move away from the scene, and judging by all the noise it wouldn't be long until they did, he decided to play it since he was curious.

By tapping the screen, it played.

At first, Gray could only hear static. He thought the problem was the volume, so he turned it up a few bars, but the problem reappeared.

There was a loud static noise that alerted the nearby corpses.

'Shit!' He cursed, quickly climbing over the edge, he was about to turn off the phone, when all of the sudden-

”Brother… He-Hel-”

The voice was cut off.

In shock, Gray looked at the phone as his pupils dilated, despite the static he heard it clearly. The screen was off, he tried to turn it on, but it seemed as if the battery had run out. The voice mail was cut off as a result.

'Did I… Hear that right…?' Gray questioned.

Gray's thought however, was interrupted by a loud groan as he spotted a zombie sprinting at him.
