23. decision..

"All of them.. the villagers of this.."

Ryan's fear was so obvious. Everyone he knew had become zombies. Some of them even lost their hands, some of them lost their feet. But they are still moving and continue to target chris and ryan.

"Ryan, calm yourself. We don't need to fight everyone."

Chris kept trying to restrain the zombies with his dagger.

"We have to get past them first. If you can use a sniper... then shoot it!"

Chris' screams seemed to have awakened Ryan. So without hesitation, Ryan raised his sniper. Aim..

BANG..

The sniper's voice was so loud. Even when pulling the bullet out was also clearly audible. Chris was surprised because the shot hit the head of the zombie he was blocking with his dagger very precisely, without missing a single one. Ryan continued to shoot every zombie that approached Chris with great precision. Chris also attacked the zombies with his dagger mercilessly. Until finally, paving the way and leaving 3 zombies that can be slashed by chris.

"Good job, Ryan.."

But when he saw Ryan, suddenly Ryan closed his eyes. Not only that, although it was faint, it felt like a sound holding back pain.

"Ryan. What happened?"

Unfortunately, when Chris approached Ryan...

Suddenly a root of living thorns appeared that blocked Chris.

"RYAN!!!"

Worse yet, it made Ryan faint instantly.

Feeling annoyed, Chris tried to slash the root of the thorn with his dagger. There was a fight that made him have to fall repeatedly. Even so, he kept slashing over and over just to free ryan.

Chris didn't notice that as long as he slashed, the pain that was still in his body was starting to get worse.

When the thorn root was about to attack Chris, suddenly another thorn root appeared that was blocking it.

Their movements seemed to rebel against each other. Not only that, chris also saw that there was something very interesting about ryan.

As he approached, he heard someone's voice instead.

"You have helped him find his courage. Then I believe that you can go to the center of this viral chaos."

"Who are you?" he snapped.

"You're not a bad person. Right now, there's no more time. Take care of ryan for me. Before anything bad happens to him."

"Wait!!"

Unfortunately, he didn't hear the voice again. Not only that, the living roots suddenly re-entered the ground. Until finally, he could see Ryan who was unconscious.

"Ryan."

Chris rushed over to Ryan.

"Ryan. can you hear me?"

However..

While he was checking on ryan, something bad happened not far from them.
