Death? Is she for real? Is not that a bit of an exaggeration? But looking at the preparations they have made, it's bound to be something bad.
When I looked at Ayuri, she looked a little scared. But with her power, why should she be? Now I am starting to get worried.
I heard another howl and when I turned my head forward I saw zombies, many zombies, a whole horde of zombies coming at us at high speed.
I turned my head to the left and saw the leader of these people take a step forward and shout "FIRE."
As soon as these words were heard, the cannons and machine guns began to fire.
I was ready to step in and fight, but with all the machine guns and the cannons, the zombies could not even get close to us. I can not understand why they were so scared at that time. They literally destroyed all those zombies.
"Alright people, get ready for the real battle." I heard their commander say.
Real battle? What does she mean by that? Was not that the battle?
The whole area in front of me was full of dust because of the machine guns. But as the dust began to clear, I could see a humanoid figure coming toward us from a distance.
I could not make out exactly what it was, but I can guess that it was another zombie. But everyone seemed too focused on it, even Ayuri.
Once it got closer, I could finally see what it looked like.
It was like the previous zombie, with black eyes and half-melted face, but there was a difference between them. This zombie was holding a chain in his right arm and smiling?
At that moment I heard a loud noise behind me and saw a cannonball flying towards that thing.
I was sure it would kill it on the spot, but it did not happen as I expected.
Just before the cannonball hit it, it raised its left arm and suddenly the cannonball stopped moving and just hovered in front of its hand.
"Be careful, it has psychokinesis. Do not shoot it."
Eh? Psychokinesis? She makes less and less sense as time goes on. Are we in a fantasy world or something? But I guess this is not the NeonDown I knew.
The zombie smiled and threw the cannonball back at us. With the cannonball amplified by its psychokinesis, it killed four people while their commander was almost hit by it.
She unsheathed the two small axes she carried on her back and ordered her subordinates to support her.
The zombie let out a loud howl and charged towards the girl.
While she was holding the axes, suddenly both axes burst into flames and she also charged towards the zombie.
He tried to hit her with his chain, but she fought him off with the axes.
She tried to fight back, but her axes failed to hit the zombie's flesh. But with each hit, I could see a purple light emanating from each spot where she tried to hit him.
This is too unreal. A zombie with psychokinesis, a girl with the ability to make things burst into flames, I guess it's called pyrokinesis, and now her subordinates, one of whom can control electricity and some others being able to control... what is that? The earth?
Oh god, what else I am going to see today. Not that my existence is any better, but whatever.
She took a step back to avoid an attack from the zombie and her subordinates built a wall of stone around it to catch it.
But the zombie was far too strong and with a swing of its chain, it broke through the wall and decapitated four more people.
While contemplating the death of her subordinates, the zombie tried to attack her but I rushed and pushed her out of its way.
But I was hit and thrown against the building behind me. I landed on a wall that shattered into pieces and I coughed up blood upon the impact.
My left arm had been severed by the hit, but as usual, it began to heal immediately.
The commander looked at me and asked, "What the hell are you?"
I smiled and replied, "I am just a regular girl."
"Like hell you are," she replied.
I turned my head and looked at Ayuri.
What the hell? She's eating? Is it popcorn? How the hell did she find that?
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"
{I was a little hungry, so I grabbed the popcorn bag I found in that building over there} she said, pointing to the building that was on my left.
"And you just started eating it? Who knows how long that's been there. Maybe you'll get food poisoning."
{No worries, I already checked the expiration date}.
While we were having this conversation, the zombie had started killing everyone in its path, and the commander was trying to stop it. To no avail.
She could not even put a scratch on it.
To make a long story short, there was a massacre going on here and the only thing stopping the zombie from continuing its slaughter was this commander desperately trying to stop the thing.
{Mmm, here comes someone strong,} Ayuri said as she ate her popcorn.
"How do you know that?"
{I told you that I can detect the electrical signals of the human brain. And this one has a lot of electrical activity}.
"Is it a friend or an enemy?"
{I do not know, but we will soon find out}.
The commander took a step back to avoid an attack, but the zombie swung its chain toward her. She did not have time to react and I was too far away from her to save her again.
But then, just before the chain touched her, a purple light appeared at that spot, like a thin wall, deflecting the chain.
"Well, I guess it's an ally."
{It seems so.} Ayuri said as she continued to eat popcorn.
I looked up and saw a girl hovering above our heads.
She looked quite similar to Miko.
She was wearing a grey shirt with a white jacket that was torn in some places and stained orange from the inside, long white boots, and a white officer's cap.
Wait,... She really is Miko!
What the hell is going on here?
Miko raised her right hand and a purple cube appeared around the zombie, getting smaller and smaller.
The zombie tried to escape from there, but its attacks were never successful. The cube closed more and more, so that the zombie had taken the shape of the cube.
Then Miko closed her palm and the cube became so small that it was the size of the popcorn bag Ayuri had been eating all this time.
Needless to say, the zombie had been crushed to death and was now just a small cube of flesh that fell to the ground after Miko dissolved the cube.
She slowly approached me, but she did not even look at me, just walked past me as if I was not there.
"Hey, you are Miko, right?" I said.
She slowly turned her head towards me.
She had a cold look in her eyes and without saying anything, she moved forward and met with the commander.
Did I mistake her for Miko? But that can not be, I am sure she is Miko. Why was she like that? Did I do something wrong?
Aaah, what is happening here?
