Chapter 3: Baekhyun

☣️☣️☣️

Baekhyun

I pushed the metal trays and cabinets towards the front to prevent the zombies from reaching out to our limited space in the corner of the vending machines.

"Stay here!" I shouted as I grabbed bottles of alcoholic liquors and poured them on the stacks of cartons and folders. I used a lighter to start a fire that drew the zombies' attention.

"Luhan, shoot from the left part and I'll clear the front!" I hissed, slashing the heads of the walking corpse forwards.

"There's so many of them!" Luhan reached out as I sneaked in the middle of an empty column of cabinets to throw the liquors in the middle of the hoard.

"I'm trying!" I shouted. I'm trying but there are so many of them.

I used the empty handgun in my belt to break the glass on the window from the edge and made sure that it was clear.

"This way!" I shouted after the glass broke and made a passageway as I heard the roaring of the zombies got louder and nearer.

They quickly struggled to climb up as I used my sheer strength to lift them so they could reach the passage.

I needed to save them. I must.

"Go! We don't have enough time!" I shouted back as I kicked the head of the ones that reaching over on the columns of the cabinets.

The zombies are already piling up and from the looks of it, they are too hungry to even focus on the obstacles just to grab me.

"Baekhyun! Climb up now!" I heard Luhan shouted.

I kicked on the cabinet up in front of me to gain momentum but the cramped space between me, the wooden cabinet and the hoard of zombies aren't allowing me to climb up.

Either I turn around and focus on climbing and let some zombies unattended and bit me from behind or ill keep shooting and attacking the one who's coming towards me. Either way, it's a dead end.

The fire that I started, began eating the whole place, burning the fleshes of the zombies walking through it. The dark smoke attacked my nose and I felt like I couldn't breathe as dark smoke spread like wildfire.

I tried once again, slipping through the cabinet to find another way out and that's when the cabinet fell towards me and the top of it blocked the passage where Luhan and Taehyung escaped.

"Baekhyun! Climb!" Taehyung panicked as he tried pushing the tall metallic cabinet but it was already stuck.

Fuck.

"I can't!" I shout back as I tried to look for the passage but the smokes hurt my eyes. Feeling the cold wall hit my back, I used my legs to hold the cabinets from pushing forwards and this resulted from me enduring my back with the broken pieces of glass.

For a moment I almost heard a woman wailing agony as it captured the attention of a few zombies, clearing the end of the cabinet. This allowed me to sneak myself into the small space that led me to one cabinet divided by metal screens...

That's when I finally got stuck.

I felt dizzy as the zombies were coming in my direction. I couldn't move. The smoke filling my lungs as I am already faced to face with a zombie. A thin screen dividing us.

The zombies finally pushed forward, making the shelves pin me from the wall.

I yelped as I felt stinging pain from behind my left shoulder blade. Probably the shattered glass piercing my back.

"Baekhyun! Come on! Climb up!" I heard Luhan shouted desperately, I felt his hands grabbing my wrist but he failed in an attempt to lift me because I'm already pinned in between the vending machine and the wall.

"Baekhyun-hyung! Please! You can make it! Climb quick!" I heard Taehyung called up, shouting my name and reaching their hands but the dark smokes and blinding orange-yellow light coming from the fire was already a clear ticket to my end.

It filled my lungs. I couldn't do anything but hear the cries from Luhan and Taehyung while the sound of zombies filling my ears. I'm already face to face with the zombies as they chewed in the air.

"I-I'm sorry." I cried as I closed my eyes to accept my end.

I heard bombs exploding not far away from us. Probably the gasoline tanks.

And all I could feel was the zombies' hands ran through me and pulling me.

"Hold on." I heard a foreign voice. Hallucinations.

I tried opening my eyes but I couldn't. The smoke stings my eyes and it swam through my lungs.

I already felt so weak and fuck, my back hurts.

And then I finally blacked out into oblivion.
