Chapter 169: The Beginning of the Nightmare 3 (Day-1)
Within the dilapidated park, countless bodies could be seen lifelessly lying on the ground, their eyes wide open as their rich emotion that carried dread, pain, and puzzlement still reflected within their bland eyes.
Their bodies, which were still excreting flesh blood even though they were already dead unfolded towards the fissure above that revealed the unimaginable darkness beyond one\'s knowledge.
...
Rustle~
Twitch, Twitch.
Soon, after an unknown period of time, a sudden cracking sound suddenly reverberated within the place as the dead bodies on the cold ground began to unimaginable twitch.
Creating rhythmic sounds as their stiff body slowly began to stand up one by one, making beings that were still alive, nearby, begin to shriek in horror and fear, making the original chaotic place more chaotic- unable to comprehend the thing that was unfolding in their very eyes...
Feeling that the Earth was about to collapse, not in a reasonable way but beyond their imagination.
In addition to the things that were happening within their sight. Above, toward the far horizon, unknown beings and beasts that could only be found in one\'s nightmare and ancient books began to appear within their senses.
Their beings naturally exude a ferocious and baleful aura as they casually destroy establishments within their way, not affected by normal guns as they eye every being with greed and desire...
Laughing happily as they start reaping lives within their reach, treating everyone\'s life equal to an ant, consuming their flesh and bones with bliss, making everyone run mindlessly... Although it was in vain.
...
"Brother... We need to hide, quickly wake up."
Within one of the alleys, Araw could be seen holding his bloody brown teddy bear dearly, weakly shaking the lifeless body of the man on the ground with a teary voice, staring at the fissure above in fear.
"Mom, where are you I\'m scared...\'
Twitch~ twitch~
Soon, as if his prayers were being heard by an unknown God, the lifeless man on the ground suddenly issued a consecutive twitching, groaning in a disordered voice as it slowly used its stiff arm, pushing the concrete beneath it to slowly raise its heavy body.
Groan!
"This, brother you are finally awake! Quick, we need to hide away from this place!"
Seeing that the unknown man was slowly standing up with great difficulty, the child revealed relief on his innocent face, taking a swallow deep breath as he stared at the appearance of the man opposite him.
In an instant, the unknown man\'s unfocused yet bland eyes began to move slowly under the sight of the child...
Followed by the sticky white saliva that had a mixture of blood in it, dripping from the corner of its mouth before sticking towards its bloody shirt reflected to the eyes of the worried child.
Groan~
"Brother, are you okay? Mommy said if someone was unwell we immediately needed to call a doctor..."
Araw uttered in concern, instinctively stepping backwards upon seeing the strange behaviour of the latter. Although he wanted to approach the brother who he deemed good, there was an elusive voice within his mind that told him to run away, stay away from the human in front of him!
Groan~
Crack, Crack.
Slowly, the sounds of continuously cracking bones resounded within the alley... as the stiff moving corpse of the man unhurriedly gazed in the direction of the child in the short distance with great desire.
Opening its bloody mouth, revealing the bleeding gums within, the corpse suddenly released a grotesque yet horrifying sound, making the child\'s face instantly turn pale as his lips slightly tremble, turning purple in the process...
"Bro-brother..."
The child mumbled weakly under his breath, stepping backwards (two times in a row) as he gripped the bloody brown teddy bear within his hands in conflict.
As he was hesitating whether to approach the being in the distance or just run away, the corpse\'s stiff body suddenly moved forward in an unstable way, sluggishly walking akin to a being carrying a hundred pounds of weight before slowly gaining its balance, causing its speed to increase drastically in the process...
Although it was still not comparable to a man\'s walking at a hurried pace, however, in the child\'s perspective, the man\'s speed was considerably fast!
...
Throb, Throb, Throb.
Fear gripped the being of the child, causing his young mind to become blank in the process- eyes wide awake as he stared at the groaning man that he deemed good hurriedly opened its bloody mouth, slowly approaching his tender flesh, beholding the unknown instinctive desire that shouldn\'t appear in this current era.
"Bro-brother..." He weakly mumbled unconsciously, wanting to wake up from this realistic nightmare of his but only in vain, gulping as he could only helplessly watch the approaching man in his front... Unable to move due to the unknown fear that stemmed within his being.
Boom!
However, before the gaping mouth of the corpse ripped parts of the child\'s tender flesh, only inches away from it, a sudden metallic gleam suddenly flashed within the corner of the child\'s face, followed by the sound of metal hitting a solid substance...
Causing the corpse\'s skull to issue a crisp cracking sound as some of its blood with a mixture of thick sticky flesh splashed toward the child\'s dumbfounded face- causing his innocent yet pale face to carry a bloody aura within.
...
"Damn! What was really happening in this world!? Did the government finally go mad and decide to release a virus that would destroy the world!?"
An angry voice suddenly resounded beside the dumbfounded child, making the child\'s eyes twitch a little as he regained a bit of his senses- stiffly gazing at the man on the ground, toward the empty scalp on its head, twitching violently as it begins to stand up with great difficulty in pure dread- he didn\'t know what really dread was but the feeling within his young being allowed him to understand the corner of it.
Groan~
Hearing the familiar groaning sound of the corpse in the distance, the man stiffly shifted his gaze toward the origin of the sound- feeling despair and depressed upon seeing that it was again moving toward their direction... as if nothing had happened.
"F**king durability!"
The man cursed loudly, holding the metal bat in his right hand as he immediately carried the unmoving child in his left arm, swiftly moving toward the closed door in the far distance of the alley- knowing that he wouldn\'t be able to kill the corpse off within a short period of time, besides that, he was also not ready to kill a being, even though it was a corpse!
"Besides that, how could I kill a corpse!? It was dead to begin with!\'
Boom!
Widening the gap between the moving corpse and him. The man, upon reaching the front of the closed door in the far distance of the alley...
Immediately raised his left foot before heavily kicking the door, causing his body to tilt backwards due to the intense force he used- almost causing them to fall towards the concrete ground on their back, fortunately, he managed to control his balance in time...
"F*ck, this door was locked!"
He cursed within his voice, not forgetting to throw a glance toward the approaching corpse in the distance before again issuing another round of kicking toward the closed door.
Boom! Boom!
Soon, after kicking the door for another 6 times, the man heavily gasped for air, giving up for a while as he tried to recover his stamina- gritting his teeth with force as he stared at the closed door in despair.
Gasp~
Not knowing what to do, the man slowly put the metal bat beside the concrete wall nearby, sighing heavily as he reached the doorknob with his free hand... Turning it over with suspense building within his being.
Click!
Soon, in an instant, the closed door issued a weak clicking sound before opening slightly, causing his eyes to immediately discern some things hidden within the interior of the building- making his mouth gape due to surprise.
"This... F**cking luck!
"No, f**cking idiocy, It was open to begin with!"
He cursed in embarrassment, trying to conceal the redness of his face as he immediately entered the building, not forgetting his bat before closing the door with a boom...
Boom!
At the same time, upon entering the place, the building opposite them suddenly crumbles due to unknown reasons- causing the land to issue a quake, making the corpse and the man nearby stumble...
"This..."
Swish! Swish!
The man still hadn\'t finished speaking when suddenly, his senses managed to hear a swishing sound within the atmosphere...
Followed by the intense sound of an explosion that sends waves toward the environment, making him and the child within his shoulder to become momentary deaf.
