Zombie University

"And ye though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil:

For thou art with me."

Psalms 23: 4

- - -

Zombie University, a cute pixel mobile RPG that takes place in a zombie apocalypse.

When an epidemic takes the world by storm, aliens abduct human youth and train them to be zombie-slaying magical girls(&traps)

A well-developed game with in-depth character customization and class trees.

Alas, the game wasn't popular thanks to its pixel design and magical girl theme.

One day, all players received a notice.

EXPERIMENT FAILED:

\\

Zombie University was closing its doors but in its last update it had an expansion called:

\\"GRADUATION PACKAGE: THE LAST WAVE"//

DEFEND YOUR CAMP TO THE VERY END.

Before the game shut down, the player had had to survive against all zombies storming their area.

Many players died, and the moment they did, they were ejected from the game, their account terminated. The app uninstalled itself. There was weeping and gnashing of teeth.

But there were a few players that somehow managed to persist to the very end. Among them, three accounts stood out. They were all members of the same guild, Fruity Pebbles.

1. BlueApple:

pfp: A sad green apple crying after being dipped in blue gunk.

Character class: Heiress*** (*** combination of class and compatible subclasses)

Soul-bound Items:

Morning Widow(pet)

Lilith's Ring

Iridescent scissors

haunted gummy bear boots

Bloody black needle

Bottomless mimic stomach chest purse

A girl with long black hair , its underlayer was baby blue. She stood with her legs folded atop a giant mechanical spider golem called Morning Widow. It it's base was white, the tips of its legs gold, and the red hourglass was baby blue.

Running about the city devouring the zombies were the Morning Widow's babies. The more they ate the more exp they earned. Strewed about the border of the town were spider threads, zombies charged towards them recklessly only to get diced into bits.

Every now and again when the threads would slack, a baby spider would fix it.

[PacksofMintGum: Oi, oi! I'm in trouble here, send me some backup!]

The heiress sighed, she combed through her hair with her fingers, pulling out hair that wriggled and elongated into hairballs. She loaded them into her missile launcher, aimed them at the sky, and fired.

The black balls flew out of sight but on another player's screen. The one in third place they appeared.

3. PacksofMintGum:

pfp: a pack of mint gum.

character class: (Jinx** ( class evolution of "perfumer")

soulbound items:

malachite soul ring

winged frog slime(pet)

Winged frog-leg stockings

haunted empty perfume bottle

kawaii first aid kit

penis umbrella.

gummy bear raincoat.

The character was hidden inside a car, which was shrouded in a city of green smog.

Zombies fell dead the moment they entered, the pregnant zombies and the wraiths were killed by transparent swat teams, but there were some high-level zombies- the tacklebacks, bearhuggers, and construction workers who were unaffected by them. Those muscle-headed zombies tackled into her buildings, tearing them down as easily as styrofoam.

[BlueApple:] This is why I always told you to level up your buildings, geez, you never listen...

[PacksofMintGum: ]But if I upgrade it, it will become clean and not abandoned, it's all about aesthetics, you wouldn't get it...

MintGum was in a pickle, even though she was hidden, she needed to get them off her land to get a high score. It would take hours to repair her buildings!

Black balls rained from the sky then. Creating craters in the earth, squashing some of the herd into pulp red puddles, the balls unfurled into humanoid-shaped hair puppets in maid costumes.

The zombies didn't detect them since they weren't real people, the puppets made quick work of the bearhugger zombies, stabbing into the heads of the muscular ones as they focused on demolishing the buildings.

The buildings still had some health left to keep her in the game but her ranking dropped from three to eighteen. There were 3 minutes left on the timer.

[BlueApple:] .....well

[PacksofMintGum:] nuuuuuu....

[BlueApple:] They came in like a wrecking ball!~

[PacksofMintGum:] Shut. UP.

[BlueApple: ] Never hit so hard before!~

[PacksofMintGum:] Please, don't rub it in!

[BlueApple:] All they wanted was to break your walls

[PacksofMintGum:] (TT ^ TT ) My high score!

Rays of light shined down from above. The puppets looked up to see a giant golden eye looking down from above.

Winged clock gears rained down from above, flapping to the damaged buildings, slowly time rewinded, as if nothing had ever happened, and with it her score.

[IhateCherries:] Aren't you thankful this skill has a fifteen-minute cooldown?

PacksofMintGum: ~~(/T [] T) / Cherrrrryyyyyy! Ty!

2. IhateCherries

pfp: a picture of cherries in the trash

Character class: All Seeing Eye***** (max character class evolution)

soulbound items:

ram horned beret

gummybear ring

gummybear back pack

possessed broken wheelchair

angry gummy bear hugging a lighter

portable wifi ticks

pocket ball mansion

paper ghost lanterns

soul wax ring

headless candle man factory

In her town Cherry was driving around in her flaming wheelchair wrecking havoc, running over any zombie in her way, her headless candle minions were busy tending to the city walls where they patted wax on the side, the wax walls were nearly done, blocking out most zombies. Atop the walls, fellow minions poured buckets of wax over the edge.

Meanwhile, another group was cleaning up after their master, dragging the dismembered zombies to pools of hot wax. The hot wax would melt the zombies until there was nothing left, then a lump would move and a humanoid figure would hobble over to the edge, other members would stab a string in their head, and an angry gummy bear holding a lighter would light it for them. The new wax figure would go join its brethren.
