Chapter 2 - Camping

After a huge journey that took them hours of walking. The group of four set up a camp near a wooden bridge that was laying behind them.

Rain : "Alright, this should do enough for the cold weather"

Looking proudly, Rain had managed to lit a fire in the middle using the wooden sticks he had found on their way to this place.

And then, taking a seat on the snowy ground. Abigail joined him in the act facing on the opposite side of him.

Rain : "Feeling well?"

Abigail : "Yeah , don't worry. I managed to get across those zombies with no injuries"

Rain : "That's a relief."

Aibgail : "What about you? Did u get anything serious?"

Rain : "No injuries on my side."

Smiling at each other, the rest of the villagers were sitting on the right side, a few metres away.

After the invasion on the village, they had to look for a place to camp on. So they went on this long journey in hope of finding a camp. Then thanks to their luck , they managed to get away from the village as far as possible, when they reached this place. The first thing they did was start building a camp to calm on.

Then after that, Rain took the job of making a fire. Fortunately thanks to his family, he had a bit of knowledge on surviving in the forest. Using that knowledge he managed to lit a fire using the wooden sticks he had collected on their way.

While they seemed to be safe so far, they had no clue where are the zombies lurking currently. So they made a plan of taking shifts to watch the place while the others sleep. Speaking of that, this was their second day so far. They passed through the first night and nothing happened

The sun rised, and beamed its bright yellow color towards everyone, declaring the begin of a new day. 

Rain : "The fact that even the sun can't melt this snow must be crazy.."

Abigail : "Well it's winter, so that's expected?"

Rain : "Yeah , I know. Just talking to myself as usual."

Drawing a smiling face on the snow using the stick he held in his hand. Boredom was taking over the party, which made them kinda tired and lacking in terms of defense.

The reason that being the fact, that nothing has happened so far. Which caused them lowering their defenses for the time being.

Later on this day, a thick fog took over the place making the place a little colder. Which made seeing things hard for the party. If someone were to stand from a far distance they likely would not notice.

Rain : "Anyways, Abigail the villagers asked us to collect some woo-"

Before he can finish his sentence, he heard a striking sound through his ears. And once he glanced behind him, he saw one of the villagers struck down with an arrow hanging on his forehead.

Rain : "Everyone! We got attacked!"

Screaming his lungs out, Rain took charge forward as he saw a huge army mixed of zombies , skeletons. And people from the village infected as well.

Rain : "Ng!"

He knew immediately that they were not in a position to win, but he still decided to give his best.

Three zombies charged towards Rain, but he waved his sword around as he slashed the three together. 

Blood gushed from their guts who were cut by Rain, and following on that Abigail shot her arrows towards the zombies approaching Rain as a way of protecting him.

Rain : "Thanks for the cover!"

Abigail : "Don't worry! Let's win this!"

Apparently for the other villagers who were with them, failed to fight against the zombies. As each of one of them got bitten and became infected.

Rain : "This is no good!"

Just as bad the situation was, it became worse.

??? : "..."

Stepping on the snow, was a man wearing a light blue shirt followed by blue pants. At first glance from his clothes he seemed normal. But when looking at his eyes, a huge bright light was emerging from them.

They were no human eyes, but pure white bright eyes.

Rain : "Huff... Huff... Bring it on!"

Breathing heavily after fighting alot of zombies on his way, the man standing in front of him was wielding nothing but a diamond pickaxe.

Honestly, when compared to the both it was clear who was on the advantage here. A diamond pickaxe cannot stand its ground against a diamond sword. Or so he thought.

??? : "I have to admire your spirit for standing in front of me. However, I can not let that attitude pass easily."

Rain : "Really? Well same right here, I'm gonna kill you!"

The man in front of Rain proceeded to take a fighting stance, and so did Rain.

??? : "Fall along with the others!"

His diamond pickaxe was charged by a white electricity, which was clearly no normal diamond pickaxe can do. Taking a glance at that, Rain tried to swing his sword but...

Rain : "Huh!"

In a flash, the man in front of him dissapeared from his vision.

Then followed by a second, he appeared in front of Rain while in mid-air.

Thanks to Rain's instinct, he managed to parry his attack, and then struck his diamond pickaxe again to make it fall from his hand.

??? : "...!"

Striking using the tip of his diamond sword, he managed to pierce through the man's torso as his bones creaked and blood gushed from that huge wound. Rain did a little trick as he fastly turned behind the man and slashed him from every direction.

It was as if he moved around with the speed of sound. The man's torso, leg, head, stomach. Every part of him was slashed, due to Rain's attack that made it seems like he was teleporting from front and behind while slashing the man.

It was powerful enough to the point , the man retreated immediately, because a few more slashed and his life would have ended.

Rain : "Huff.....Huff...."

Clearly tired he saw the man dissapearing from his field of view and teleporting to somewhere far away from the place.

Aibgail : "Rain!"

Rain : "It's alright... I managed through"

Abigail : "U worried me so much!"

Rain : "Ah, sorry. Let's head to the bridge for now, it should take us somewhere safely"

With Rain being covered all around by wounds, he made his way with Abigail towards the bridge laying in front of them.
