Shrieker

Daniels was looking at all the zombies using the scope of his HK Sniper Rifle, Fenrir was laying next to him. They were on top of a skyscraper that had been covered by vines and overrun, correction, was overrun by zombies. All that remained were heartless zombies, not that they needed hearts anyway, Fenrir needed them much more than them so finders keepers. What he was looking at was a whole swarm of zombies slowly shuffling in the streets looking for anything alive. He even saw them give chase to a rat that was quite nimble and using its small size squeezed its way to safety, leaving frustrated zombies behind.

"Alright little Fenfen, I am going to show how to hunt zombies. One, make sure you are in a high ground. Two, make sure you have enough bullets. Three, since we don't have silencers, it means we are going to be loud. So, we make sure they don't overrun us when they get into the building by destroying the stairwell. Four, since anything can happen, make sure you have a way out and our way out is to jump 164ft to the other building where our camping equipments are. Got all that?" Fenrir just yawned and lay his head on the ground as if bored. "Fine, I'll take you for a walk later, jeez."

Daniels went back to looking at the zombies via the scope as his finger started going for the trigger. He aimed at the head of one large zombie and shot. The bullet produced a Sonic boom and when it hit the zombie, half of its body was gone and every zombie in front of it shred to mincemeat due to the force of the bullet!

"Good shot!" Daniels congratulated himself then aimed at the other big guy that had turned towards him. "Your turn, big boy." He squeezed the trigger and the same thing happened, only there was a crater that had been filled with coagulated blood and rotting flesh. Fenrir was looking at this scene with depressed eyes. He couldn't believe Daniels wasted all those hearts, hearts he could eat! He looked at Daniels ruefully and then turned around, not bothering to even spare him a glare. Daniels was too into killing the zombies to notice this.

Shot after shot made the whole herd thin out from a possible hundreds of thousands to just thousands. Daniels had taken care of all the big ones and now he was aiming for all the abnormal ones. He could see like six of them. They looked like normal zombies but their heads proved to be different. It looked like they had split their heads and he would have believed it if he hadn't known what they were hiding inside. He aimed at the first one and fired. These zombies were fast learners for it had seen what happened when that thunderous noise came and it immediately tried to dodge, only it wasn't as fast. It was reduced to nothing but a pair of feet and the zombies behind it died as collateral!

"One down," Daniels said then aimed at the second one and it fell prey to the same thing. Daniels turned to the other and was about to shoot it when he noticed it had opened its head. Inside it's skull was a small flower but that flower let out a high pitch scream that made him and Fenrir cover their ears due to their sensitive sense of hearing. After the scream, all the zombies suddenly surrounded it, forming a meat shield as it crouched and was out of sight.

"Clever bastard," Daniels cursed but then, three more shrieks made him cover his ears and looked at the rest, only to see the same happen. "This would have worked if I was using normal rounds, idiots." He aimed at the first hurdle for even though they had covered it, the zombies were all together, making them prey to his pernetrative power of the sniper rifle. He fired at them and the bullet curved its way to the abnormal zombie as the zombies in the way were reduced to nothing. The abnormal was dead, making him turn to the second hurdle and shot again, killing most zombies and the abnormal. The third hurdle succumbed to the same fate but the fourth one learnt that it wasn't a good idea and tried to run for it. Daniels just smiled and pulled the trigger. The bullet would have missed but it suddenly curved and hit the small flower in the abnormal's skull, killing it in the process.

"Hey, Fenfen, I think I have a name for the abnormals. What about Shrieker? Pretty creative, huh?" he asked the fog that wasn't even looking at him. "What's wrong, why aren't you looking at me?" Fenrir gave a small growl in response, making Daniels frown then look at the zombies. "Tch, gluttonous old dog, still thinking about your hearts, huh?" Just then, both of them received the sound of a moving vehicle. They frowned and went to the building side the sound was coming from and looked down. They saw two school buses made into tanks making their way towards a convenience store.

"Humans? Haven't seen them in a long time," Daniels said as he ruffled the fur of the growling Fenrir. "Easy boy, let's just wait and watch." Fenrir quieted down as they both watched.

The two buses came to a stop beside the store and then, the windows came up followed by the muzzle of guns pointed at either sides of the bus. The trap doors on the rooves came up and machine guns were aimed at the front and backs of the buses. When everything was seen to be all clear, the doors opened and ten humans each walked out, everyone of them carrying a duffel bag.

"Alright, I want everyone to grab all the canned food you will find in the store. Any bottle of water is also essential. Any of those zombies in there must be met with lethal force, fast and deadly. Move in, move in!" A man ordered the twenty people and they immediately went to work.

They got into the store, each one of them going to their own isle. Quickly, they bagged any edible that can take a long time to perish and immediately eating anything that is close to it. When one of them got to the cash register, he opened it and took all the money just for the sake of it. The cabinet behind him suddenly opened and out came the cashier and to make things worse, he was an abnormal. It got hold of the man and opened its skull before chomping on the guy's head clean off. He didn't even get to scream. The abnormal then turned to the others and its eyes were set on a woman who was close.

The woman had been a carrier for some time so she didn't panick but instead took a pen like instrument and clicked on it, making a siren like noise as she ran from the store. Everyone knew it was the sign of something dangerous in the store and they immediately fled. The abnormal was quite surprised to find more people in the store then grabb d the closest to it, a man who was carrying water bottles and immediately bit his head off.

"Its one of those split heads!" the woman from before shrieked and one of the machine gun aimed at the entrance, waiting for the zombie to get out but they are smart and it definitely didn't want to get out once it saw the machine gun aimed at the door.

"Dammit, it might stay in there because of its cleverness. All couriers get in, we are going back," the man from before said. As soon as he finished saying this, he heard a sound like the sky just cracked open then the store was hit by something that completely demolished it! Everyone looked at the place the noise came from but their sight couldn't see the man and dog on the roof of the skyscraper.

"A good shot as I say so myself," Daniels said to himself. He didn't think a Shrieker would hide in the store. It must have observed humans and saw they would flock to these places in droves before hiding itself inside or it was turned in there. Fenrir growled at him, lamenting another lost heart.

"Oh shut up," Daniels scolded him as he turned his sight towards the humans who were looking at the building he was. Then, be saw the machine guns turned towards it and frowned. "Don't do it. Don't fucking do it." Of course none of them heard this and the man gave the permission to fire. Then, they heard the sound of the sky splitting apart and one bus exploded, killing everyone inside and harming everyone around. The machine guns of the other bus opened fire but even their thunderous noise was drowned when the sound came again and the bus exploded. Some of the couriers were lucky to not have got in as they got up, ears ringing and bodies aching, looked around then started running for dear life. Daniels flinched wanted to shoot at them but then reproached himself.

"Guess they can live for now. But who just decides to antagonize someone who can destroy a convenience store with just a bullet! Humans are really stupid. C'mon Fenfen, I'm sure our building has some big zombies. It is a lawyer firm after all, they prioritized in sucking humans dry before this all begun." Fenrir got up eagerly and led the way.
