18 The Katanas Out of the Sheath (2/2)

As Alex was dropping his bag and raising his shotgun, Jay was anxiously reloading, but he could see what Alex was planning in that head.

Jay was the only one with a melee weapon on him, and he was also the big brother of the group. To just watch his little brother sacrifice himself in front of him was completely unacceptable. Knowing that he wouldn't be able to just sit back and watch, he dropped the gun, pulled out his katana, jumped in front of Alex and charged down the roof.

”Use my M4!” He shouted as the moonlight reflected off the purple edge of his katana.

Alex's eyes welled with tears... He knew that if he didn't hesitate, Jay wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to charge into the zombies in his place. His big brother had always been like this. They all grew up without parents, so the older brother basically assumed the paternal role, internalizing the responsibility of looking after the younger ones.

Alex knew he couldn't fail his brothers again, and he immediately picked up the M4 left on the ground by Jay and began reloading.

Having learned how to fight with a katana before plus having a higher position advantage, Jay opened the battle with a downward strike as he jumped off the highest level of the roof to the garage top off slightly to the left of the house, trying to drag the zombies further away from the center where Alex was.

A zombie's head was immediately splashed open from Jay's downward cut, with the blade smoothly exiting the neck of the zombie.

This was Jay's first time consciously cutting the zombie open, and to be honest, he was quite shocked by the fact that he was met with little to no resistance.

Four other zombies immediately charged towards Jay, trying to siege him but were met with a brutal horizontal cut.

The zombies' heads were detached from their bodies as the blade slashed through their throats, blood gushing out as they heavily fell and rolled down the roof. The first wave of zombies, downed by two strikes.

Alex was actually completely dumbfounded at the scene, and he almost forgot what he was doing until his hands subconsciously finished loading the ammunition.

”Jay, I got it reloaded! Come back!”

”Go f*cking load the other one too! I don't want to come back just to jump down after one clip!”

”Oh sh*t, you are right!” At that, Alex hurriedly picked up his Kriss Vector and began reloading that as well. Above the garage roof, Jay charged at the second wave that seemed to have ignored him and were running straight towards the top at Alex.
