"You don't remember?", Lance asked as everyone had confused expressions in their faces.
Mark just nodded as he explained, " I only remembered that I felt pain all over my head and body. I didn't have the strength to counter it anymore so I got knocked out, what happened after?"
Lance then looked at him with a serious expression, "You killed the boss zombie in a single hit of your fist."
Mark couldn't help but form a dumbfounded expression, he just laughed it off as he said, "Haha, you must be kidding? there's no way...", but as soon as he saw everyone's faces he knew that it was the truth.
"Is this for real?", everyone else nodded. At that time, Mark fell unto deep thought. He tried to remember the things he did. After he tried, he was only left with devastating pain. He then groaned in pain and muttered, "What....the.....fuck....is....this!"
As the saw Mark in pain they grew worried, "Mark! are you alright?", asked Ariel and Thea whilst Liza and Layla could only mutter, "Big Brother!"
As Mark didn't try to remember anymore, the pain subsided. "Here, let me help you", Lance said as he picked Mark up from the ground. He then placed Mark inside the military van and laid him down.
Lance couldn't help but look at the armory that was destroyed by the giant zombie. Even though the armory was made of tough steel that even bullets shouldn't be able to go through, it was destroyed by it in a single hit.
Lance then looked at Mark as he said, "Mark, let me tell you something", he then sat down beside Mark and said quietly, "The world is changing, it's already started to evolve, humans have started to evolve, even me."
Hearing these words, Mark was confused, 'What is this guy talking about?'. Lance then continued as he said, "I know you're confused, But people are starting to gain some abilities that weren't particular on humans."
"Tell me, Mark, who was your guide to go here?", Lance asked Mark. Mark then calmly said, " It was Layla and Liza."
"The two girls, huh", Mark and Lance looked outside and stared at the girls who were currently trying to fix the broken part of the other car, " They have some kind of abilities, I'm sure of it."
Mark then looked at him as he said, "I suspected this earlier, but what do you know about this?", Lance looked at Mark as he said, " No ordinary human can see this place, even up close."
At that time Mark was confused, "What do you mean?", Lance then said, "What I'm trying to say is, ordinary humans have no chance of finding this place. This place was hidden by something, it's no longer part of our world."
Mark then was speculating everything as he looked at Lance and said, "How do you know all this Lance?"
Lance then smiled bitterly, "I saw something that I shouldn't have seen", he then placed his hands on his thighs as he said, "What I saw was beyond human knowledge. If it wasn't hidden, the world should've been already destroyed."
"Despite how dumb and stupid I am, I am still an archeologist and a historian. I saw a book on one of the excavation sites, it had the most peculiar writings I've seen. But when I kept that book for a month, a dream past on to me."
"Humans are only shells of the ancient, we are only mere tools. And it had one last thing written on it, The world is ruled by $@#&", Both Mark and Lance couldn't hear the world, the only felt terrible pain in their heads, " What the fuck?"
As soon as the pain subsided Mark then looked at Lance and said, "It's about time we go back, how bout you four go with us?"
Lance just nodded, agreeing to Mark. They then went outside and went towards the girls. Mark saw them fixing the car and asked, "What's the problem?"
Thea who was squatting and starting at the car then looked at him and said, "The tire got blown up", the car that Thea and her group rode on got hit by the giant zombie first, and Mark knew that it wasn't just the tire. Thea then continued, " And unfortunately, the engine got crushed, there are no other cars here too."
Mark then placed his hand on his chin as he thought of it, "How about we all ride the military van? we might be able to fit, we just need to compress."
Thea then thought about it and didn't have any reason to refute so she agreed. At that time no one saw anything, but in fact, there was something happening.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A figure then observed Mark and his group and wore a smile on his face as he whispered something, "It's really him! hahaha! this time, I will destroy him using the project I've been working on for hundreds of millions of years!"
A shadow then appeared before him and said, "Master, it's ready! we only need your command to activate it!"
The figure then smiled like an evil maniac and said with a clearly insane voice, "HaAHahA! DO IT!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Mark and the group were talking, the ground started to move. The intensity was stronger than a magnitude 8 earthquake as everything started to crumble.
As this happened, Mark's eyes turned slightly blood-red. As if he recognized this, he then looked at all of them and shouted, "EVERYONE! GO TO THE CAR! WE HAVE TO GET OUT OR WE'LL DIE!"
Following Mark's orders, they then compressed inside the military van. Layla, Liza, Silvia, Gabrielle, and Lance compressed in the back seat whilst Mark and Thea compressed on the front seat and Ariel drove.
"MOVE!", Mark then shouted loudly as his eyes turned even redder. Thea stared at his eyes and saw the unending abyss in it. But then she felt comfortable. Her purple eyes then started to tingle and she felt something like a deep bond that was formed since a long time ago.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the forest, the sky blue-haired girl, no, she was Arizuare, then looked at the white-haired girl and said, " Master, do you think that our dear husband has found our sisters?"
The white-haired girl then smiled as she looked at her, "I think he might've met a couple of our sisters, remember, our husband had a lot of wives."
Her face then turned from happy to depressed as she said, "It was my fault that he died."
Arizuare just then looked at her and retorted, "That's not true Master, it was the fault of those treacherous bastards. They call themselves good, but they are evil!"
The white-haired girl just smiled as she felt a presence that was so familiar to her. She then said lightly, "He's slowly awakening, I can't wait to see you again!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeanne, Elaine, Marie, Isabelle, Anna, and Feina then felt a presence that they have never felt before, it was as if comforting them throughout. They couldn't help but look at the direction in which the camp was and their irises slightly turned red.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ariel, who was driving couldn't help but look at Mark, but then she focused on the road that was cracking by the minute. She drove as fast as she could to get out of the camp, whilst before them, a giant hand made its way out of the ground. Various zombies got out of the ground as well and started to run after the military van and were running as fast as forty miles or hour!
Ariel drove as fast as she could as Mark peaked out of the window and said something in words that was inconceivable. He then pointed his AKM towards the zombies and took a shot and wiped out a lot of them, maybe a hundred in a single shot! But then, there were hundreds of thousands going out of the 50-meter hole in which the titanic hand was sticking out.
Driving faster, they finally got out of the camp. They didn't know why but, the zombies couldn't get out of the open gates, but then it was lucky for them. The whole camp was completely filled with zombies and was completely annihilated.
Soon the camp was out of sight and they were so relieved that they felt exhausted. (A/N: I don't think this makes sense.)
Mark who was sitting with Thea by his side suddenly felt something like a backlash. His eyes bled so much and all of them inside the car noticed and was worried out of their wits.
Mark just said, "It's alright, Ariel, keep driving!", as soon as the pain went away, he felt as if all the energy on his body was zapped and was knocked out. Thea, by his side, grabbed his right arm between her breasts and placed his head on her shoulder as she wiped off all the blood on Mark's face. Her face was beet red and she was blushing as if the heat was too much for her.
Lance who saw this couldn't help but laugh mischievously, whilst Silvia on the other hand crossed her hands but then her face was expressionless, but at this time she was jealous.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mark woke up and by the time, they were already at the cathedral. His body was so weak and he felt pain all over then he couldn't stand up, Lance tried to help him but Thea rejected him with a blush in her face and let Mark's hand rest on her shoulders as she supported him whilst standing up.
Lance just mischievously laughed as he saw this and didn't help any further. They saw that there were no guards, but then they saw that there were watchtowers wherein the guards stood. They saw Mark and his group and opened the gates, Ariel drove the car inside as Mark said lightly, " We're back!"
