Chapter 55: The Forest Blocking Our Path 2
On the way through the eerie forest, I discovered the carcasses of two dinosaur-like animals.
-x-x-x-x-x-
Nina ignored the bodies and went back into the forest. I turned around and saw Sharin looking at the bodies.
"What are you doing? You might end up being left behind."
"Yes, but I thought there was something strange about these bodies. Don't you think the bodies look too clean, even though they were killed in combat?"
Now that I think about it, there were no visible injuries on the two bodies and they seemed to be sleeping. I try to touch the head of the One-Eyed Garuga with the tip of my shoe.
Then the corpse sat up slowly. Sharin and I quickly backed away.
"What? It wasn't a corpse?!"
Then, as if in response, the Death Axe behind him also stood up.
Seeing this, Filiana quickly drew her sword. We all drew our swords together.
The corpse in front of me opened its mouth wide, aimed at me, and started to bite me. I quickly moved to the side.
"It seems he was just sleeping!"
With that, Filiana stabbed the Death Axe in the back. However, as if it felt no pain, it turned to her and swung the large axe with both hands.
"No, why didn't it stop?!"
It seems that due to an unexpected incident she ended up dropping her sword, which was still lodged in the animal's body.
"Piyo and Pauline, hide behind Filiana! Sorry Sharin, but you take care of the Death Axe."
Giving instructions to Sharlin, I stood behind the One-Eyed Garuga, in front of me, then moved it away from everyone else. The first beast walks slowly towards me with its eyes rolled back.
It approaches, tiptoeing, step by step. It's so slow. Thanks to that, I managed to avoid being bitten before. To be honest, I think I could beat this guy. But the problem is that attacking them doesn't seem to work.
Is this what they call a zombie? If so, should I aim for the head? While I was thinking about this, I heard a woman's scream and the sound of something heavy falling into the bushes.
