Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

Chapter 45  Against Spitter Zombies

Shane didn't dare to land a final blow to the Spitter Zombie's body yet as he knew that they would still explode… Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He wasn't sure if cutting off their head would cancel the explosion or it would hasten it instead. So, instead of risking that, he decided to just ignore the corpses first and rush towards the next Spitter Zombie.

He had to be quick and agile, dodging the acid spit and the explosions. If he made a mistake, his equipment might save him, but it would be dangerous for him since there are still many Spitter Zombies around. He had to be ruthless and decisive, striking the vital spots and moving on to the next target. He didn't even bother saving his Spirit Points as he used his Fire Effect in each strike…

As he moved to the next one, he heard the explosions of the other Spitter Zombies he killed earlier.

Boom! Boom!

[ You have eliminated a Spitter Zombie. ] [ You have eliminated a Spitter Zombie. ] Shane ignored these explosions and attacked the next Zombie.

"Haaa!"

With a wave of his hand, Shane killed one Spitter Zombie after another, leaving a trail of fire and blood behind him. He felt his adrenaline pumping, his heart racing, his muscles tensing. "Come!" He shouted.

Although the Special Spicy Noodle was no longer in effect, he felt more alive at this moment!

Soon, Shane reached the last Spitter Zombie, which was the closest to the Manor. It seemed as if it was bigger and fatter than the others, and it spat more acid compared to them.

Shane knew this was the final challenge of this week's Zombie Wave…

After taking a deep breath, he ran towards the Spitter Zombie, holding his hatchet high. The Spitter Zombie saw him and opened its mouth, ready to spit. Shane threw his hatchet at the Spitter Zombie, hoping to hit its head.

Pssst~

The hatchet flew through the air, passing through the acid while spinning and flaming! As expected of the Master Rank weapon, it wasn't stopped by the acid spit! Thud!

It hit the Spitter Zombie's mouth, cutting its tongue and igniting its saliva!

The Spitter Zombie choked and gagged, unable to spit. It tried to pull out the hatchet, but it was too late.

The hatchet's Fire Effect had fully triggered, and the Spitter Zombie's head started burning! The fire spread from its mouth to its head, and then to its upper body!

Boom!

To Shane's surprise, this Spitter Zombie blew up immediately, sending chunks of flesh and acid everywhere.

It was unlike the other Spitter Zombies!

Thankfully, he didn't get too close to this Spitter Zombie!

Shane ducked and covered his head, avoiding the blast. He felt a wave of heat and a shockwave of air as he stayed close to the ground…

He smelled the disgusting flesh and blood that almost made him puke…

[ You have eliminated a Chief Spitter Zombie ] He looked up and saw that the Spitter Zombie's upper body was gone. "It's done…" Shane muttered in a weak voice as he knew that the Zombie Wave was over.

Shane breathed a sigh of relief as he heard Anna and Harper's joyous voice.

He saw Harper smiling at him while Anna was running towards him with tears in her eyes. 'I guess she worried a lot… I almost died back there…' Shane thought as he saw Anna reach him and threw herself into his arms.

He just hugged her back to comfort her. She was probably scared to death just now. If he died against those Spitter Zombies, they would surely be the next to perish.

However, he didn't expect Anna to kiss him fiercely. "Ooopp—"

Shane felt a shock in his heart, something he had never expected. He felt surprised more than ever.

'Isn't this a bit too fast?' However, although he was surprised, he only hesitated for a moment and kissed her back.

They held each other, feeling a rush of emotion that overwhelmed them. They didn't know what came over them as they just acted on their instincts. For a moment, they didn't care about anything else and they just wanted to be close to each other.

However, after they heard Harper's footsteps, they realized what they were doing, and they quickly separated. They felt embarrassed and awkward, not knowing what to say or do. Harper just helplessly smiled, seeing how the two looked away from each other, trying to hide their feelings.

"Ahem... I'm going to fix the barricade." Anna said, breaking the silence. She then turned away and ran towards the church. She obviously wanted to get away from him, to avoid facing him. 'So she's going to pretend that nothing's happened?' Shane sighed and replied.

"Go ahead..." Shane said, nodding his head. He watched her go, feeling a mix of confusion and curiosity. He wondered what was in her mind... 'Whatever…'

Shane shook his head and decided to start looting the zombies. He needed to focus on the task at hand to distract himself from the situation.

He started to loot the normal Spitter Zombies first.
