Part 66: New City

We pushed the zombies away and forged ahead, but it felt like an endless battle. They kept coming, a relentless tide of rotting bodies. Zombies were falling into the basement, piling on top of each other in a grotesque display of decay and death. Sarah and I found ourselves surrounded. “We can’t defeat them all!” I shouted over the din of the moaning undead.

“Retreat!” Captain Lee yelled, his voice cutting through the chaos. During the fierce melee, a zombie lunged at me, its sharp teeth sinking into my shoulder. Thankfully, my thick jacket absorbed most of the bite, and I managed to shoot the creature in the head before it could do more damage. Meanwhile, another zombie had latched onto Sarah’s leg, its fingers digging in like claws. Captain Lee rushed to her aid, firing at point-blank range to free her.
