Living Dead's

Chapter 5 - Saving Feifei

Shen Yuan rang a horn that I knew a few times. The road is jammed with vehicles, the traffic is very irregular. Each one is like driving with a crazy sense of urgency. Time and again Shen Yuan felt his patience run out and wanted to crash into every car that was in front of him.

His phone calls with Feifei were never interrupted. He tried to calm Feifei down while trying to cleave the bottleneck.

"Don't cry, baby. Now you find a place to hide in that room. After that, talk as quietly as you can, okay?"

After listening to his father's orders over the phone, Feifei tried to find a place for him to hide inside the room. Finally he looked at the wooden cabinet to store the items. Feifei took out the item then went inside and closed it. He left only a small gap for air to enter.

"Dad, I'm in. Come quickly, father. I'm in the music room."

Shen Feifei said as he whispered softly.

"Dad understands. Wait for me, Feifei. I'll be right away"

Suddenly the call was cut off. As Shen Yuan looked at his phone, it turned out that the signal was cut off.

"Damn!" Shen Yuan cursed in frustration.

***

On the other hand Shen Feifei was also confused due to the call that was suddenly interrupted. However, he could do nothing. He could only shut up and curl up in the wooden closet, waiting for his father to come.

If he focused his hearing, Feifei could still hear some screams outside. But he did not hear the sound of the door being knocked. Maybe the zombie outside the door saw another victim and forgot about it.

Feifei could not relax at all. His body was tense, the image of chaos still rotated many times in his brain, making him shrink even more like a ball and close both ears tightly. He was also anxious about the state of Ning Meng, his best friend.

Since entering elementary school, she had already known Ning Meng. She is a cheerful and easy girl to get along with anyone. Due to his easy-to-speak nature, Feifei unknowingly often told about his days. How she wanted so much to see her mother, how her father loved her so much and so many other things.

And now he's separated from his best friend. Even worse, he did not know his best friend had survived or not.

Did he manage to escape? Or has he been bitten by the zombie?

Feifei did not want to think about it. But the question kept popping up in his mind. He could not help but think of the worst possible. After all he and Ning Meng had known each other for several years.

Just thinking about what happened today can make her tears stop flowing.

Now he just wants to see his father...

Shen Yuan finally arrived at the Feifei school. Although he had guessed it, he was still surprised to see the scene in front of him. Lights throughout the building went out, making things gloomy and gripping. Blood dyed every corner of the ground, walls even gates.  And Shen Yuan could vaguely see something moving slowly indeterminate direction within the darkness, it was a zombie.

Shen Yuan thought back to where Feifei was. The music room is on the second floor of the western building. It was a long way from the front gate.

Shen Yuan picked up the wrench that was in the car before it started to slowly exit. Then he ran as fast as he could into the school.

Until the moment he managed to enter the building, Shen Yuan immediately crouched down and checked the surroundings.

Shen Yuan held his breath, just entering the building alone had seen several corpses with incomplete limbs. He could not imagine how the scenery in the deeper area of the school was.

And when Shen Yuan thought about how her daughter saw all these scenes, her heart became even more sick.

Is he freaked out?

Sure oes.

He could not imagine how scared his Feifei was. Her daughter who would beg her to accompany her to the restroom after watching a horror movie, how could she bear to watch this scene?

His heart became cold.

These things. A creature that should never appear again on this earth. Who brought this creature again? How could these zombies reappear before his eyes? He was desperate to kill the person behind it.

Shen Yuan again observed the passageway to the second floor. There were six zombies still roaming the hallway. And he only has the English key.

Shen Yuan observed the zombies. Four of them were primary school students while the other two were school employees.

If the weakness of the zombies was still the same, then Shen Yuan would have to smash his head, crush his brain, or break his neck, cutting off the nerve endings of their spine.

Because even though they are dead and cannot recognize anyone, their brain still sends instructions to the limbs through spinal neurons, it is necessary to cut or destroy the spine or brain.

Shen Yuan inhaled a deep breath before starting to run towards those zombies. He grabbed one of the zombies and smashed it into the wall. Using an English key, he smashed the zombie's head by hitting it repeatedly. Brain fluid starts to scatter everywhere. Splashing into his clothes and hands. Yet Shen Yuan did not care.

The zombie immediately fell to the ground and did not wake up again.

Other zombies started going crazy and raided him. He kicked the student zombies to get away first. Due to his small size, a single kick from Shen Yuan made his body hit the wall hard.

Shen Yuan was very wary of the zombie bite. When the zombies will approach him he will hit the zombie mouth wide open with an English key.

Amidst the punches and kicks, Shen Yuan looked at the axe for the fireman on the hallway wall. He quickly broke his glass and took it.

Using an axe, Shen Yuan's movements were more flexible. Two other student zombies had already been killed.

The other three zombies continued to let out a growl and attempted to blindly tear him apart. Shen Yuan clasped the neck of one of the student zombies and raised it.

"I'm sorry."

After apologizing, he smashed his head into two pieces with an axe. Another body fell on the blood-stained floor.

Shen Yuan started fighting again with the two remaining zombies. After adapting to the fight, the rest became easier. Shen Yuan beheaded the adult zombie and broke the last student's zombie neck.

Shen Yuan started to regulate her breathing. The axe in his hand felt warm and slippery because it was exposed to blood. He did not know whether this was called killing people or not. But the sensation of his axe cutting and smashing their heads may never be forgotten in his entire life.

Still wary of the surroundings, Shen Yuan began to step onto the second floor.
