Chapter 44 - sudden quest

'Bam!' Atlanta swung her fist to a zombie head, following it up by sending out her leg to another gut by the side, jerking the female zombie in the air before she delt the finishing blow. She and sole didn't stop attacking, as some zombies had now surrounded them.

Mira was doing a good job in killing as much zombie as she could, but she was also exerting herself and her energy. Atlanta didn't know how much energy or strength Mira had left, but she did know the latter would soon exert it with the way she was using them now.

'Fucking zombies.' Sole cursed sending out a fist to a zombie, 2 meters away from him. The attack collided to the undead head, twisting it's neck in ways not meant to go as the zombie dropped dead to the floor.

'Woah! my strength, it's much powerful.' Sole stared at his fist with wide eyes. but he was soon drawn by a zombie it's jaw wide open, latching onto him to the ground.

'Shit.' Using his legs he forcefully kicked the zombie away into a wall, causing the creature's body to be mashed against it blood flowing out. Getting up he was thankful other zombies weren't nearby, as it could've been trouble for him.

'She's really fast.' Sole glanced a bit to where Atlanta was. as he could see her moving non-stop, doing her best in killing as much zombie she could that came their way. A soft smile formed on his face, seeing his best friend turn this fierce.

"I don't fucking need powers to be strong, come at me you mindless fucks." Sole banged his fist together, grabbing a metal pipe as he swung it without a care in the world using his full strength.

'Clang! clang! clang.' His attack collided head on, sending the zombies in a dismayed state before he landed the final blow killing them. He was weak before he died, but he vowed to become stronger than anyone on the planet, been given a second chance.

'They're too much.' Atlanta frowned. no matter how much she killed, more would always come up to replace their dead brothers and sisters. It was frustrating as she was currently exhausting her energy, and it wouldn't be soon before she ran out.

Gritting her teeth she bought two plasma ray handgun, tossing them to sole and Zain. Zain was shocked seeing her abruptly throw two plasma ray hand guns, as he didn't see her with such when they entered. but he didn't ponder long about it, firing off at the zombies.

'I don't have a choice.' Atlanta was hesitant before to use her energy blast skill, mainly for two reasons. First, she was conserving her energy points with power punch as it took only 6, while energy blast took 10. And second, she didn't want to attract more zombies to their location but it didn't matter now anyways.

"Die!" She shouted activated immunity and and energy blast multiple times, as the purple lightning surged in her. She then swiftly ran forward to the group of zombies approaching, leaping a bit as she slammed her fist to the ground.

'Boom!' An explosion occured as the energy exploded from her, creating a huge blast sending cracks of lightning to the unlucky zombies. The undead creatures couldn't withstand the surge of lightning, as they immediately died dropping dead to the floor.

'Idiot. you'll become tired faster.' Mira frowned, seeing Atlanta activate that move. From her knowledge and experience, she knew activating more powerful skills required more of the user's energy and stamina. That's why she'd refrained from doing such, only using her ability.

'You always had too be the hero didn't you.' She smiled softly, shaking her head as she continued with her onslaught. Sending her fist to a zombie guts, a thick line of purple lightning followed suit in a straight line killing all the zombies in the line. More zombies approached from the back, but she waved her hands and twelve lightning bolts shot forward, dropping the zombies dead.

The battle between Atlanta with her team and the zombies raged on for about an hour, as they killed the undead creatures careful not to get scratched or bitten.

"Ha.. ha.. i-it's finally over." Sole panted, breathing heavily as the wave of zombies approaching had now stopped. There were countless of this flesh eating creatures bodies, littered all over the ground. The atmosphere reaked with the awful stench of the undead flesh, filling the air.

"Is everyone alright?" Mira asked, walking over to the others her breath ragged a bit. She could see them nod their heads, but she didn't take any chances checking for herself.

"W-we rest for 5 minutes then continue forward." Mira said to which they nodded. She could see they were all exhausted as their breaths were now ragged, beads of sweat streaming down their heads like river rushing down a rock.

"Hey.. take it easy." Sole caught Atlanta just before she could fall.

"Thanks.. I might've stretched myself beyond my limit a bit." Atlanta softly muttered, clutching her head which was hurting as she constantly had her mind racing.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you." Sole boldly spoke hitting his chest a bit, making Atlanta burst out in laughter to which they both chuckled it off. Her eyes then trailed off to Zain, seeing him staring at the dead bodies of the zombies on the floor.

For some reason, she couldn't help but wonder why Zain had suddenly made his ability known to them that moment. She wasn't for sure if Zain knew about her, but she had a strong feeling he did.

"Alright, time's up." Mira said as it was now 5 minutes. The group then slowly made their way, towards the door leading down to the second floor.

"I must warn you, the zombie's on this next floor would be much than the last." Zain softly said staring down. The group then slowly descended downwards, killing some few zombies they met along the way. It didn't take long before they reached the second floor.

'They're this much just at the entrance.' Atlanta thought, staring at the hundred of zombies packed at the entrance of the door.

The zombies sensing them had now turned to their location, as they slowly advanced forward.

'Stay back.' Mira gestured and the group did as told. Descending two steps she raised her hand, and a small ball of purple energy formed in her hands. Throwing it, it landed in their midst exploding as countless purple lightning bolts struck the zombies, killing them.

They then descended downwards going past the entrance, as they immediately stopped stunned at what they were seeing.
