"Ugh, that's disgusting!"
A wave of nausea surged through Caleb as the stench of zombie saliva hit him like a brick wall. His stomach churned violently, and he almost lost his composure.
"I'm a tree... I'm a tree... I'm a tree..."
He silently chanted to himself, like some kind of self-hypnosis.
Thankfully, Caleb managed to hold it together. The zombie above him, crawling like a spider, didn't seem to notice anything unusual and continued scuttling away into the distance.
"Whoo—"
He let out a long breath of relief.
But just then, a sudden scream pierced through the darkness of the factory.
"Ahhh!"
A girl's terrified cry echoed, shattering the silence.
Immediately, the zombies let out guttural roars, and the elite ones nearby all turned toward the sound, rushing in that direction.
"Damn it! Another teammate's been spotted!" Caleb's heart sank in panic.
