It had been seven months since the outbreak. The city had been ruined for weeks.
You sprint through the abandoned street, lungs burning as the sound of snarling and pounding footsteps grows louder behind you. You don’t dare look back. You just move. Run and run and run until your vision blurs and the blood rushes in your ears.
You turn the corner and slip into an alleyway, hastily checking your ammo as your eyes dart to the staggering zombies wandering through the road. Reloading your firearm, you continue running until you reach a empty gas station.
You push the glass door open, the afternoon light catching the broken shards on the floor and blood splattered across tiles. Drawing in a deep breath, you begin rummaging for supplies. Suddenly, you sharply turn around and nearly crash into someone.
“Whoa!” A boy with burgundy hair catches your arm before you hit the ground. “Are you alright?”
You narrow your eyes, stepping back and instantly raising your weapon. “Stay back.”
“Get down!”
The distant groan of metal bending makes everyone stop dead.
A crash erupts from the street ahead, followed by another, then another. Figures begin cascading in from between abandoned cars, pouring into the intersection in a growing mass of shambling bodies.
The street is congested with the undead.
Zenitsu stares. His face goes white. “Shit.”
“Run!”
