The hallway was slightly pitch black, but a few dim glows stained a few spots within the hall way, probably a few splatters of blood on the glass the floors and the room doors and with the slight luminous effect the radiation had on blood, causes the hallway to be visible albeit barely.
Ryver could still faintly see the situation within the hallway and it was certainly terrible. Blood and chunks of flesh hung around the edges of the doors, swaying with the gust of wind created by the fapping wings of the mutated beasts.
"Go! Go!! Go!!!" Jacob yelled loudly at the survivors, he was taking on three of those mutated pigeons with his sharp sword, but they were simply too fast therefore he couldn't any real damage to them but could only repel them back with his strength which was higher than that of the beast.
With the new batch of survivors, the number count of the entire group of survivors had reached 43 but now, there was barely twenty of them left. Screams and shrieks echoed in the hallway, the others rushing with their might, trying to get to the stair way before the beast by passes Jacob.
Ryver's room was at the other end of the hallway, and while there was also another stairway there, it had been locked with chains out of caution, due to what happened with Jonathan.
"S-save me! Please!!" Another pair of scream resounded within the hallways, but it was drowned by the shrieks of the Giant Mutated and the scdemss of other survivors.
A man who wasn't able to group with the other survivors at Jacobs end quickly rushed towards Ryver, two other Ordinary Giant Mutated Pigeons rushed out of his room and pursued him with. With their agility, they should have been able to catch up with the man, but the space within the hall way was limited, the mutated birds were unable to flap their wings to move faster therefore, unablingrhem to catch up quick with the man as they only jumped and hopped with their feet.
Ryver's eyes were cold and indifferent. He watched as the man raced towards him, running and staggering with all his hands and legs, beads of sweat douncing his entire body as he clawed with ashed face towards Ryver.
The beasts only had strength of two and some rare ones had three points of strength, which was why it wasn't very difficult to take care of them. But the only problem was that there wasn't just one of them, there was a horde of them out there trying to get in.
As the man was just a few inches away from him, Ryver's legs turned to a blur and he whipped his legs sideways at the man's head.
The man's eyes were wide open and filled with despair, it was as though he couldn't believe Ryver would attack him even with the beast chasing behind his back.
BANG!
Like a hammer, he slammed the head forcefully against the wall, making it explode. Blood and brain juice splattered on the wall and on his legs as the crunching sounds of bones exploding faintly rang out within the hall. Splinters of bones shot out wards upon the impact.
Before Ryver, the man panted heavily as he held his head in shock but then, he raised his head from his bent down position and saw that he wasn't actually dead, it had been the beast behind him whose brain had exploded in the process.
After he calmed down, the man sighed heavily in relief and his look turned grateful.
Ryver let out a cold snort seeing this. He ignored the man and walked past him. His target was the beasts that had managed to enter into the hall through the rooms with the doors.
Jacob was covering the retreat of the survivors and with the help of Daveen and Katniss, but with another wave of the mutated beasts pouring in through the opened doors, it was getting increasingly difficult for them to hold the rear.
Jacob's swords was even faster and swifter than Ryver had seen the last time, showing how fast his skill had grown in just a single day. But even then, he was only able to perfectly attack two of those mutated birds but as other birds began popping up from the open rooms, it became increasingly difficult for him as he repel their claws and beak attacks with swift speed.
If it weren't for Daveen and katniss's help, his brains would most likely would have been sucked clean.
Seeing that they might not hold on for any much longer and with the panicking survivors who were screaming and rushing to the stairs for safety, Ryver moved at the flank of the mutated beast and with his speed and strength, squelching sounds reverberates from the hallways as Ryver proceed to kill.
The Giant mutated pigeons seem to be slightly dumb as they only focused on the side with plenty food and file used to ignore the rear, giving Ryver more than enough time and space to attack, it was simply free kills Ryver would never hesitate to accept.
BAM! BAM!! BAM!!!
Three skulls exploded, and two eyeballs popped towards Ryver's head which he immediately dodged with his insane reaction speed and in no time, Ryver had finished off four beasts while Jacob room care of the other two with his swift sword.
Jacob panted heavily and nodded towards Ryver in gratitude. The survivors had managed to enter the stairs in their entirety.
Cleaning the blood off his gas mask, Jacob said between heavy breaths, pointing towards the stair way door behind him. "Come on, before the other beasts find their way in here."
Ryver nodded and was about to move when he saw the glowing figure of the man hiding behind him quickly rushed forwards with speed, passing beside Ryver as he headed towards Jacobs.
In that instant, a strange human like orange color glowing figure swooped right from one of the opened doors and slammed agayjr the man, crushing the man's body against the concrete wall, turning him into a glowing stardust!
