The sky radiated a dark crimson hue, as if the world had just been smeared with blood. Beneath it, a once-majestic city now lay in ruins. The stench of burning and death permeated the air, cloaking everything in an eerie silence. In the distance, faint screams mingled with gunfire, fading away with time.

No one knew for sure when it all began. What once was a mere news story about an outbreak in a remote area had spiraled into a global nightmare. There was no safe place left. Survivors were forced to hide, endure, and cling to the hope that tomorrow would not be their last day.

Yet amidst this chaos, there were still those who fought back. A small squad known as Aegis Squad moved through the shadows of destruction. They battled not only the feral creatures that were once human but also their own fear and despair.

Worst Zombie Day

November 24, 2058 – Morning

The defensive walls of the survivor camp were filled with tension. The Aegis squad and other survivors stood ready to face a horde of zombies advancing from the east. The growls and heavy footsteps grew louder, creating an ominous atmosphere beneath the overcast sky.

"Everyone, take your positions!" shouted Pan Colman from the watchtower. He held a pair of binoculars, observing the approaching horde. "Aim for their heads. Prioritize the larger mutated zombies."

Mira stood on another part of the wall, leading the survivors in preparing their weapons. "You heard him! Don't waste bullets. We don't know how long this will last."

Lila, standing next to Cong, kept her weapon ready. "That shielded zombie is out there. We'll need more than regular bullets to take it down."

"I've got something for that," Cong replied as he readied a small grenade launcher. "But we'll need to get it closer first."

As the horde drew near, the survivors opened fire. Gunfire shattered the silence, bullets raining down on the front lines of zombies. Some fell, but their numbers were too great to stop easily.

"There are too many of them!" shouted Jenna from the rear, wielding a sniper rifle.

Blue-eyed zombies began clawing at the walls, attempting to climb with their razor-sharp talons. Meanwhile, a massive shielded zombie moved slowly through the crowd, protecting others around it.

"Target the legs of the shielded zombie! Cripple its movement!" Pan commanded while firing with precision.

Cong launched a grenade at the shielded zombie. The loud explosion shook the ground, sending the creature tumbling. But before anyone could celebrate, an ear-piercing screech came from one of the new creatures.

A zombie leapt with extraordinary speed, crashing into the defensive wall and attacking one of the guards. Screams echoed as the creature tore into its victim with razor-sharp teeth.

"These things are too fast!" Rico yelled, struggling to aim at one of them. "We need to stop them before they reach the wall!"

Lila pulled the trigger of her rifle, hitting one of the leaping zombies in the head, sending it crashing to the ground. "Make sure none of them get closer!"

Meanwhile, the shielded zombie that had fallen earlier began to rise again, its body riddled with injuries from Cong's grenade.

"How long can that thing keep going?" Mira asked, frustration evident in her voice.

"Too long," Pan replied grimly. "We need a new plan."

The fight intensified. Grenades and bullets continued to rain down on the attacking zombies, but their numbers seemed endless. Pan realized the walls wouldn't hold much longer unless they stopped the shielded zombie.

"Cong! Fire your last grenade! Aim directly at its back!" Pan ordered.

Nodding, Cong launched his final grenade at the shielded zombie. The massive explosion brought the creature down once more, and this time, it didn't move again. Relief swept through the team—but only briefly.

Something even larger emerged from behind the zombie horde. This time, it was a giant zombie covered in sharp, glowing spikes that shimmered faintly in the morning light. The creature let out a terrifying roar that momentarily silenced the battlefield.

"What the hell is that?!" Rico exclaimed, his eyes wide in shock.

Pan gripped his weapon tightly. "Everyone, get ready. This isn't over yet."
