Chapter 159 - True Infected (2/2)

Sir K had given several different pinging crystals to each team, this way he would know if the guards outside needed help or if it was related to something else. The crystal ringing indicated that Ann's team were in trouble.

”We have to move now!” Sir K said.

Sir K and the others doubled their pace and were heading for the quickest route to where Ann was.

The true infected stood only a few feet away from Ann and the others. A word hadn't been spoken for a while now and Ann was Afraid any second now it would attack.

”Why are you down here?”

The infected laughed.

”I'm here to give you a gift,” The shadow man pointed at the group. ”You wish to find a way to kill us, don't you? Well, why don't you try it right now!”

”My pleasure,” Jack said as he gripped his Giant sword but once again Ann stopped Jack from going forward. All she wanted to do right now was buy as much time as possible.

”Jack don't fall for it, it's clearly a trap,” Martha said.

”This isn't a trap as I said, it's a gift.”

”We don't want your disgusting gift!” Badger shouted.

”Wait a moment.” Ann said, ”Maybe we should listen to him, tell us what exactly is this gift of yours?”

The infected man started to laugh once again.

”Humans are always the same looking for the easy way out.”

But then something unexpected had occurred. Jack was suddenly down on one knee and he could barely stand. He was sweating madly and it felt like all of his energy was being taken away from him. He wasn't the only one, Dan was the next to suffer the same fate, next was Badger and sloth and finally even Martha.

”You! What are you doing to them!” Ann cried.

The infected didn't say anything back because even it was shocked about what was happening.

Then suddenly, a piercing feeling was felt through the Infected's chest. As the infected looked down it could see a hand holding his black heart.

The infected managed to turn its head to look at who had defeated him.

”I'm sorry Father, you shall suffer no more.”
