Chapter 6 - CHAPTER 6: The unnatural vs The Cannibal

My jaw dropped at the scene.

What's going on?

Did time stop?

The cannibal froze in it's place, to be precise something was restraining it's movements. While it struggled to move an earthquake occurred, I stared in horror as the roof shook vigorously until it started to peel off.

Cracks on the wall widespread, the atmosphere was intense making it hard to breath, despite all that, the most insane thing was that I could feel rage from an unknown source.

Two long wide metals fell from the roof and penetrated the cannibal's heart while the other metal went right through it's skull.

The wall on my right side instantly collapsed exposing three girls and two boys hiding in that classroom, the pipes on the wall didn't fall, instead they all floated in the air as if gravity didn't exist, at lightning speed they pierced every part of the cannibal's body.

It lifelessly fell down right there in front of me, another disgusting bloody scene. Raising my gaze I caught a glimpse of a figure far from us in the corridor. When I blinked the figure of a girl who looked like she was levitating vanished, along with the rage in the atmosphere.

'Did I hallucinate seeing someone there.'

The group hastily came down, Layla swiftly hugged me and started inspecting my body for injuries with teary eyes.

"something unnatural definitely did this, I don't think that earthquake was even normal."

I cleared out their confusion.

The group of five joined us and we strolled to the science lab in the third floor.

We were extremely cautious when we entered the science lab, making sure that they was no undead lurking nearby.

The room was big with many long wide laboratory tables and tall chairs, on top of the tables where chemicals and other equipment for science experiments. 

"Ace I think you should pick three people to accompany you to the equipment room, me and Layla will do the rest here."

Ace, Dexter, and two boys who where hiding in the second floor left the lab.

"I need three people to clear that table in front and gather all the science equipment there.

The rest of you I need something like gas, cans, strings or belts, just anything that might seem useful and check all the shelves." I gave instructions and they all nodded and left.

Accept for one of the three girls with blonde hair, she seemed ignorant and just stood there with a hand on her waist.

"Why do we have to listen to you bossing us around."

I gave her my most sincere smile. "If you don't contribute to the group, we will leave your ass for those with the appetite."

"Aaagh! fine, whatever."

She stomped away following her friends with a red face.

I turned my head to Layla. " Let's get to work it's time to be badass."

"Ahem! language Kean, language."

I just chuckled.

Me and Layla where now wearing wearing lab coats, and the whole safety clothing necessary.

We stood infront of a table, Layla was mixing chemicals, pouring in cans and attaching strings. I took a small gas tank and attached a one meter tube and then I placed the tube on the meter ruler and wrapped rubber bands everywhere, the pipe was attached to the ruler.

I took a Lighter and pulled off the cover. I turned the adjustment wheel all the way to the plus side. As I continued my attachments trying to make a flamethrower the group stared with wide eyes. 

After thirty minutes of hardwork everything was ready, we had 12 home made bombs and a flamethrower with a lighter attached to the mouth, and a meterial used for pressure, including the grip with a switch to release the high pressured gas, the small tank was in a backpack.

Everyone in the room stared in disbelief, they all wanted to say something but the words were stuck in their throat.

"How the hell did you guys learn to do all this cool stuff!" Isla asked, eyes beaming with curiosity.

"Ever since we were kids science fascinated us, Layla was the chemist and I was the engineer, we always liked building things and experimenting, we also learnt some dangerous stuff along the way."

After that everyone started tossing questions at us for six minutes until I stopped them or we might never get out of here.

Layla was carrying bombs, the rest of the group where equipped with Wooden swords and metal bates. I was also holding a wooden sword, since Isla pleaded in her knees for exchange with the flame thrower.

We silently slipped out of the lab, after walking for a while we made a left turn and the door to the emergency staircase was up ahead.

I turned my gaze to Layla, she nodded and ignited the string with a lighter then threw the can in the horde of zombies that was approaching... Seconds later..Nothing happened.

We waited until an explosion occurred and three undead where turned to mince, some cought fire and others growled in pain with missing limbs.

Two zombies crawled heading towards us.

The bombs where freaking overpowered, what followed after was pure slaughter. Isla pulled the trigger and instantly burned the undead heading towards us. I watched as the bright flame melted their skin, we dashed forward to finish the rest.

An undead approached me with it's body coverd in flames. The wooden sword wasn't strong enough to kill it easy like the real thing but it did the trick.

I mercilessly pushed the sword in it's mouth, pearcing all the way to the back of it's head, I pulled out the sword as blood gushed out of it's mouth and it colpsed on the floor.

An undead crawled towards me I crushed it's head with my foot and brain splashed on the floor.

I turned to Ace who swang the sword with no effort aiming at the undead head and receiving one hit kills.
