Chapter 46: Crazy

IN THE MORNING/NEAR THE DEORA CITY

*Yawn*

"G--good morning captain!!" Anik said while getting out of his tent yawning and rubbing his eyes.

"Good morning Anik," Luna said back to Anik who was guarding the tent with Ace.

"Captain and Ace, do you want to catch some sleep before we go? Since it's my turn to guard now."Anika said to them.

Both nodded and went to their tent respectively to catch even one hour of sleep.

Besides the two of them, the other also got up and started to take their tents out after freshening up by eating an essence.

After a while, Luna and Ace also woke up and started taking their tents off.

"Now, since everyone has packed their tents and belongings. Let's move towards the helicopter." Luna said to all of them.

While going towards the helicopter, Anik handed another bag of something to the old man Drew.

The old man Drew saw the thing in the bag and tried to refuse.

"Old man, just take it. We don't want you to be a liability now or when we reach California." Anik said to the old man seriously and others also nodded.

The old man Drew didn't have any choice, so he just accepted it.

After reaching the helicopter, they hopped on it and flew towards California. When they were up they saw many zombies moving towards California city in hordes.

Just like that they again fuel up in Las Vegas which was also bombarded with missiles to kill zombies. They rest near the city in the desert area. They decided to rest a little outside California City and go in the morning. At that time, they discussed many things about how to fight the upcoming threat.

-------------------------------------------------------------

FEW DAYS LATER/IN THE MORNING

The team were flying outside of California. Everyone was wearing a parachute in case of an emergency. There was another extra parachute also there.

'Aafia, how many days are left before it appears?' Anik asked Aafia in the helicopter.

[Today]

*Sigh*

They embarked on a daring journey to California, soaring high above the chaos aboard a sleek helicopter. As Anik approached the once-vibrant city, his heart sank at the horrific sight before him. The entire landscape was engulfed in a relentless inferno, with billows of black and red ash filling the sky.

Amidst the blazing chaos, Anik's gaze caught an astonishing sight—a colossal creature 20ft(6m) in height and 100ft(30m) long with the tail, bathed in a sizzling aura of ash and molten lava. It was a mutated beast, resembling a fearsome Komodo dragon, but magnified in size and power. Its scaly body shimmered with the intense heat emanating from within as if it had been forged in the depths of a volcanic eruption.

The monstrous creature, driven by an insatiable fury, unleashed torrents of scorching ash from its gaping jaws. The ash fell like fiery rain, setting the surrounding areas ablaze and adding to the relentless inferno. The monstrous Komodo dragon was engaged in a desperate battle, braving waves of mutant and normal zombies encircling the whole city from everywhere. It was like a packed concert but the stadium was the whole city.

"Anik, is this monster you talking about?"

Jonathan said with a nervous smile.

'Aafia'

[Yes, it is the F-tier mutant]

"Yes, it is" Anik said to Jonathan and kept his eyes locked on that mutant Komodo dragon with the help of the binoculars. But somehow it also locked eyes with him and started running towards them.

'Not again, Aafia??' Anik questioned to Aafia.

[It can sense you because your tier level is equal to it and it doesn't want to share the top spot with you.]

"Old man Drew, fly as high as you can. And captain let's follow the plan that we discussed earlier. You all kill the mutant and normal zombies and I will fight that big thing.

Old Man Drew and Sophia will stay out of the city after we all get out of the helicopter. I have to go first. Best of luck guys." Anik said to them.

"Anik, don't die," Sophia said to Anik and others also on their way.

Anik just smiled and said the same thing to them. He then put his right hand on one of the extra parachutes and said...

*Open*

Anik opened the helicopter door and jumped out of the plane after getting the signal from the old man Drew.And he jumped.

'Aafai,can this thing infect people after it bites just like regular and mutant zombies??' Anik said while free falling.

[No, it can't infect like regular or mutant ones.So don't worry and give your all.]

He just nodded in relief.

It was Anik's first time jumping and parachuting from a helicopter and he was scared too but Luna did teach him how to use the parachute. However, he was more scared of the incoming threat which was a mutated Komodo dragon, who was rampaging this way towards him.

*pulls*

Anik pulled the cord of the parachute as he was above 2000ft or 600m from the group.

As he slowly goes down, the faster the Komodo dragon runs towards him flaming everyone between it and his path with its black and red ash fire.

'Summon'

As he got close to 100m, he summoned PSRL-1. He then aims at it and shoots it.

*Swoosh*

The rocket went towards the Komodo dragon but it straight up blasted it with its ash fire breaths.

*Blast*

"Sh*t" Anik said in frustration as he got a little blown away due to rocket force. He then ripped his parachute as he fell, landing perfectly on the ground.

The zombies from the centre area of the city run to the Komodo dragon as well as towards Anik.

Anik just take a deep breath and ...

'Summon'*swoosh*'Summon'*swoosh*

'Summon'*swoosh*'Summon'*swoosh*

'Summon'*swoosh*'Summon'*swoosh*

'Summon'*swoosh*'Summon'*swoosh*

'Summon'*swoosh*'Summon'*swoosh*..

Anik repeatedly summons and throws grenades towards the incoming normal and mutant zombies. While waiting for the incoming Komodo dragon.

It comes close to Anik while opening its mouth to fire at him.

'Summom'*crash*

Anik summons and throws a jeep right in its mouth to stop its ash fire.

After getting stuffed in its mouth, it gets angry and throws the jeep out of its mouth with the help of its fire.

"I am not so easy to kill, buddy," Anik said with a determined face.
