Everyone turned to the person who spoke, and before he could react, someone gave him a sharp slap on the back of his head.
It was a quick lesson to keep such comments to himself, especially when they were all terrified of the massive dog in front of them—a creature that looked like it could crush skulls with its paws and jaws alone.
The dog barked repeatedly, each sharp sound echoing into the eerie silence of the night.
Everyone exchanged nervous glances, realizing the danger they were in. The barking would no doubt attract nearby zombies.
With the oppressive quiet of the darkened surroundings, the dog's barking seemed deafening, reaching far and wide.
The tension grew, nerves fraying as the possibility of being swarmed felt all too real.
"That's it! We can't let the dog keep barking like that—it's going to attract every zombie in the city and trigger another wave!" someone exclaimed, their voice trembling with fear.
