Chereads / Zombie Exodus: Apocalypse / Chapter 38 - Tremor

Chapter 38 - Tremor

"Wait, are you for real?", Mark asked Nora who just shrugged and grinned smugly as she asked, " Wanna try?"

Mark then grinned widely as he said, "Sure", both of them grinned, disregarding the people around them. Well, the others were busy with Eliada, but after treating Eliada, they looked at Mark and Nora grinning to each other causing Jeanne to ask, " Umm.... what are you doing?"

"Oh, nothing, just playing a game of chance", Mark said. Nora then laughed lightly as she took out a coin and said, "How bout we try to guess the outcome if we toss this coin?"

Mark just smiled as he said, "Fine with me", as he turned to look at Lance and asked him, "Lance, can you toss the coin for us?", Lance just smiled as he walked closer and grabbed the coin, "That's fine with me."

Without further ado, Lance then placed the coin at the back of his thumb and in the middle of his index finger as he lightly flicked his thumb upwards causing the coin to be tossed.

As the coin flew out, Nora closed her eyes, and as the coin slowly fell and Lance caught it with his right hand and smacked it on his right arm. Mark then said with a smirk, "It's heads."

Nora then smugly smirked as she said, "It's tails", Lance then looked at the coin and said, "It's tails!", this caused Mark to smirk as he said, "You have quite great luck, do ya?"

Nora then just smiled as she said, "It's not about luck, it's about ability", she then closed her eyes as she said, "Can you ask three more people to toss coins?", as she handed Mark three more coins.

Mark stood there confused as he said, "Sure.. why?", Nora just answered, " Just to flex on you", this caused Mark's face to twitch as he just laughed and grabbed the three coins and gave them to Thea, Jeanne, and Ariel.

"Now let me tell you my answers, Lance will get tails, Thea will get heads, Jeanne will get heads, and Ariel will get tails, now toss!", acting smugly, she shouted. At that time the four tossed the coins and their face was then filled with shock.

Mark who saw their expressions was also shocked as well, "Are all the answers she gave correct?", The four just nodded which dumbfounded Mark to the core. He then looked at Nora with a slightly curious gaze.

Nora then smugly smiled, but that smile so. ended as they felt the ground shaking as if they were in a jar that was thrown down a two-story building and bounced back.

Nora's face paled as she said, " Two monsters are fighting", she then ran outside of the secret kinda room whilst Mark and his group, including Eliada, followed her.

She then went to the living room and peered outside the window and saw to zombies fighting each other, wait, they were zombies, but the problem was, their body wasn't ripped apart, their body was also filled with stitches.

Mark and the group also peered outside and saw two zombies that seemed as if their bodies were stitched so their insides won't spill out. They were shocked as they felt tremors to each of their fists colliding.

Mark knew that these zombies weren't normal, just from feeling the shockwaves of their punches, he already knew. If he tried to take them on, he would probably die just from the air pressure.

"Mark...", Elaine looked at Mark worriedly. Mark, who had a solemn expression in his face looked at Elaine and smiled warmly as he patted her head lightly and hugged her into his bosom while saying, "It's alright, I protect you, remember that, I will protect you all, no matter what."

Letting Elaine go, Mark then turns to look at Nora as he said, "We need to talk about this, this time, for real", As he said that, Eliada then spoke up, "I know these creatures."

The sudden voice, made Mark turn his head abruptly and saw Eliada who had horns. As he looked at her he then said, "Who are you again?"

Eliada angrily pouted as he heard that. She then said, "You still don't remember me, hmph, let me make you remember!", Eliada then jumped at Mark and leaned on him.

This made Eliada's lips meet Mark's. Their lips touched each other. Mark then opened his eyes widely as he felt soft lips touching his. He then pushed Eliada as he said, "What are you doing!? you don't even know me!"

"You still don't remember? That's weird, every time I do this, I can bring back someone's memories, why isn't it working?", Eliada this time, was confused.

" You think kissing a person bring back someone's memory? well, it could be possible because of what I've seen so far, but still no!", Mark then said with a grunt. Eliada then crossed her arms as she said, "Alright, Alright, I guess I'll have to find a way to bring back your memory."

"Alright, now back to the topic, let's find a seat first, shall we?", Mark then said as he walked towards a sofa and sat down as he supported his chin with his two hands whilst his elbows were laid on both of his legs.

Nora and the others also found seats, and Nora sat down on the armchair as she crossed her arms and placed her left leg on her right leg.

" Nora, we need more details about this, those monsters aren't normal, they're stronger than even Mutant Zombie Kings", Mark worriedly said, they indeed needed more information.

Nora then furrowed her brows as she asked, "Mutant Zombie Kings?", as he heard that, Mark then nodded at Lance as Lance spoke, " Mutants are basically stronger types of zombies. There is a stage on which a zombie is in and the strongest we fought were higher zombies, which are ghouls."

As Lance finished speaking, Mark continued, "Alright, let me rephrase my words as I remembered that ghoul. Those types of zombies are stronger than the ghoul I fought, in which I almost died."

"We must know what they are and fin—", before he could speak more, someone cut him off, and that someone was Eliada. Eliada then spoke out, " Listen to me for a bit, I know what they are."

Mark then looked at Eliada as he said, "Oh right, you did say you knew", Eliada then didn't mind the ignorant Mark as she said, " They are Mutant Zombie Overlords."

This caused Mark's brows to furrow as he asked, "What are they? How are they stronger than the ghoul?", Eliada then had a solemn look on her face as she said, "They are the strongest among the kinds of normal and mutant zombies."

"Of course a measly ghoul can't compare to them", She said as she continued stating her statement, "But, higher ghouls and the others above can easily beat them."

This caused Mark to be dumbfounded, "You mean", Eliada then spoke again, " Yeah, we are too weak. At most, since my power is sealed, I can only defeat Mutant Zombie Overlords."

This caused Mark and the faces of the others to light up. But Eliada spoke again causing everyone to get anxious, "But, they seemed to be trained by someone, and they are much stronger, and I can barely defeat one at this point."

Mark was getting and getting disheartened by the moment. Eliada then spoke once again causing everyone's expression to light up..... again, "But if we work together, we can defeat one!"

"Though only one", this caused everyone to get disheartened and anxious once again and they gave a glare to Eliada, " Eh? why are you looking at me like that, I did say we can defeat 'one' and it's not plural."

Mark then scratched his head as he said, "What should we do!!?", Nora who was extremely quiet throughout then said, " Then let's train!"
