7 The Shot He Wanted to Make (2/2)

The four females covered their ears due to pain because of the sudden gunshot but still looked towards the source of the shot by reflex. Just to see the back man wearing a hooded jacket and a black beanie on his head who already stood between them and the zombies while pointing a short shotgun on the zombies.

”Finally got a head shot.”

They heard the man mutter.

Mark ran towards the group and saw them being picked down by the fast running zombies one by one. Seeing the dire state of their situation, he urged himself to run faster.

”Help! Please! Help us!”

A man in the front of the group shouted.

He then saw a zombie catch up to another man behind the group and lunged at the man. He did not have much reaction to the man being caught but he could only frown as he saw what the man did.

”What a bastard.”

'Only at the worst possible times can a man's true nature is revealed.'

It is something he always believed.

Mark heard the child who was thrown to the floor cry in pain and of course, the other people in front of the escaping group also did. However, they only stole a glance behind their backs and continued running towards Mark.

Instead, the two college girls stopped and went to help the mother and child despite the danger are facing.

The survivors who continued running was about to reach Mark and stop him to ask for help but did not manage to as he shot them a cold look and continued running past them.

As Mark ran past them, the ones who wanted to stop him gritted their teeth in anger and left one last glance at Mark and continued running.

The employee behind Mark saw what happened and also ignored the group of men fleeing as he followed him.

While running, Mark's uneven eyes grew larger in surprise as he saw one of the girls charge at the zombie who caught the man that is holding the mother's leg and sent it flying. He can't help but grin as he saw the girl's movements and the method she did to free the woman.

Unfortunately for the girl, she took the time she had isn't enough for the time she needed and the zombies already jumped towards her by the time she freed the mother from the bastard's grasp.

Luckily enough, Mark also arrived by their side at this point without them noticing.

BANG!

Mark shot his gun at the lunging zombies making them fly back several meters.

The three zombies disregarded each other and tried to lunge at the girl almost at the same time sticking them together in a single line. As Mark shot the zombie in front, most of the shotgun pellets blew its head off into mush and the remaining pellets riddled the other two zombies with holes.

He then shot a look behind him and shouted.

”What are you women staring at me for, hurry up and run!”
