8 The First Time He Cursed Out Loud (1/2)

Hearing his shout, the females finally started to take action. Paula lifted the child in her arms while Ange helped the mother stand up. As the mother tried to walk though, she almost fell down again. She did not fall and managed to walk but she can only drag her left foot as she grimaced in pain. Seeing this, Ange immediately took the mother's left arm and put it on her shoulder.

BANG! BANG!

Mark continued shooting the incoming fast infected with better accuracy as he got used to the recoil of his shotgun. His gun then ran out of ammo, he opened the chamber he immediately took out several 12 gauge shells from his belt bag and reloaded it calmly as he retreated step by step. Still, he can notice that their retreat is too slow and he saw Ange assisting the woman in order to move.

”What happened?”

Mark asked as he glanced behind while not taking his attention away from the zombies.

”She sprained her leg.”

Ange answered furrowing her eyebrows.

As she grimaced in pain, the mother then spoke with tears on her eyes.

”I can't run anymore, please just take my daughter and leave.”

The two girls and the man following Mark was surprised hearing the woman and the child started crying.

”Mama! NO!”

The child squirmed violently out of Paula's arms almost even falling off. Paula had no choice but to crouch down for the child to avoid falling off her arms accidentally. Still, the child did not stop trying to reach out to her mother.

”Not a chance! We're not leaving you behind!”

Ange heightened her voice in determination.

”But-”

”No buts!”

Ange then continued on assisting the woman not letting go even a tiny bit.

Seeing Ange's determination to help her, tears started flowing out of the mother's eyes. She didn't want to die, she is totally scared of dying on the fangs of these rabid beasts and she didn't want to leave her daughter behind even more. But in this case that she injured her leg, she'll just drag her daughter and these good people to their demise. She didn't want to be like that man who dragged her into this mess.

The employee who followed Mark also had tears at the corner of his eyes as he watched this scene.

Then a snort came from a direction behind them.

”What are you guys being dramatic for?! This isn't a drama series and we don't have time for you guys to create a scene!”

”You-!”

Ange wanted to say something in retort as she thought that he wanted to abandon the woman but Mark did not let her and turned his eyes towards the employee behind him. Seeing Mark looking at him, he gulped his own saliva for some reason.

”You think you can carry her?”
