Grueling Fight!

Seeing the pole descending right on top of my head, I knew I didn't have time to dodge. Even if I did it would surely hit the ship making things even more complicated.

" Put all the power-" I was shouting but Ariella voice came through saying," Already done. Make sure to use both your hands and protect your head."

I didn't have time to listen to her warning. The nano suit thinned out around my body gathering around my arms and legs making it thicker and thicker to absorb the shock that I was about to experience. It happened in a instant but I took the position with bending my knee on the solid ground and firmly held on.

The monster was swinging it's lanky arms which looked frail but the muscles around the key area were twitching expanding furiously a clear sign that it had some mutation that allowed it to chance the shape of its body to increase it's striking power.

All I heard was whistling of the wind before experiencing a sharp pain in my arms which I was making a cross with to better absorb the shock. The clear crackling sound was a clear sign that my bones were broken giving me pain like I was just hit by lightening.

The nano machines entered my blood stream immediately and started to nullify the pain, the rest of the serum was also injected which could be dangerous but I didn't care.

If I wanted to survive I had to take this thing down. Where I was standing there was a two feet crater that started to pool the grime and blood of the zombies as they flowed toward the lower area.

I looked up to see the face of the beast which surprisingly was showing a bewildered expression. Maybe it was his killer move and no one had survived his first hit but I was still standing despite breaking several bones in my body.

After what felt like eternity of us staring at each other, it raised it's massive telephone phone again but this time I wouldn't let it get another hit on me.

" Not this time motherfucker!" The pain relief was slow but I raised my rifle and aimed at it's limbs first firing two shots.

First one missed grazing past him but it did make the monster wince in pain as it let out another roar but by this point, I was used to his fear tactic.

Another shot and it hit the shoulder which he was using his club with blowing it right off his body. It tumbled back shocked being hurt.

It's slow speed had transformed into it's last ditch effort to put me down but I fired another shot blowing off it's head but it still wouldn't go down. By now the zombies around me were staying motionless probably because the thing wasn't able to control them without it's brain but I knew to finish him off, I had to blow him to smithereens.

I stopped caring and started blowing holes in it's chest and legs, each time it would take a huge chunk of whatever it was made off, fly off it's body.

Maybe because it was massive but the blood gushing out from it's body was like a fountain. It spilled everywhere drenching not just me but other zombies too.

After a dozen more shots, I saw that the charge in of my rifle was getting low. The thing was already tumbling backward as it slammed on the ground with a loud thud.

The sprinters that were still hiding behind it got crushed along with normal zombies but the remaining zombies for some reason shifted their focus from me to the Giant Zombie.

I saw them swarm his body as they started gobbling him up like no tomorrow. I watched in stunned silence as more zombies came from different direction trying to get a piece of the pie.

I was left alone like a moldy bread while they feasted on the behemoth's body, from bones to the decayed flesh to even goo oozing out from it's hole they refused to let anything go to waste.

These zombies might be mindless but it did prove Ariella's theory that the thing that attacked me was definitely not dead like them and had some semblance to living beings or else they wouldn't be earing him.

" Don't just stand there, come inside the space craft. and firmly lock the mess you made to get out before they notice you again."

" You mean we can leave them here? Don't you want me to kill them?"

" No, these are perfect condition for me to collect data. I will adhere from getting live samples but I can observe them when they are this close without using much energy. They seemed to be under some sort of mind control of the one that was running fast and then the big one, now these 'higher' monsters were gone, they would become their mindless self seeking humans again but inside the craft they wouldn't be able to sense us if we stay quiet as it seems they do have keen sense of hearing." Ariella laid down her hypothesis which made me think for a second.

I could load up different magazines and can mow them down which my mind was telling me to do just because of the fact that I don't know why they were enjoying eating their brethren this much.

Maybe this was their way to evolve into higher monster or these warm blooded behemoth were a perfect stew that suited these zombies taste much more than thin humans.

Ther wouldn't be much for them to go around if they didn't hunt at least hundred people but with this monster each one could have it's fill.

It was somewhat bizzare and enchanting to see them eat using both their hands gulping it down without a care in the world. Some of them whose stomach had decayed couldn't even hold anything and it would spill out leaving other zombies to clean it up.

The grossness was one thing but the striking simplemindedness did give me some hope that I will be able to best them if I faced them again in the future.
