Chapter 103 - Patient Zero (2) (1/2)

"ROAARRRRRRR!!!"

The roar of the patient zero spread to the surroundings as a shockwave, forcing the bodyguard, the college girl, and the stubble guy to step backward. Only Aleen and Aya endured the roar without retreating.

The roar wasn't a skill, but despite it, it filled the group with fear. Actually, only Aya and Lily managed to perceive the brief combat between Aleen and the level-three zombie; the other three only felt a gust of wind and then, they saw the level-three zombie injured.

The stubble guy and the college girl sighed in relief when they saw the patient zero injured. They were frightened by the patient zero's apparition, but when it was injured in its clash against Aleen, they mistakenly thought that it wasn't so dangerous.

However, the bodyguard realized that things were not so simple.

He had seen Aleen use its skill twice before it, and each time, he had killed one zombie at least; but this time, though the zombie was injured, it wasn't dead.

Besides, he could see that despite the zombie's injuries, Aleen and Aya's expressions were grave.

At that moment, Aya shouted.

"Look out!"

The bodyguard followed Aya's gaze and saw a frightening scene. The arm of the zombie that had been cut, was running towards them!

His face paled immediately. He wielded the baton he was holding and tried to crush it, but the hand endured the attack easily and jumped towards his face.

Frightened, the man tried to retreat to avoid it, but the hand was faster than he thought. It flew towards its face and extended its claw-like nails to pierce his eyes.

At that moment, Lily jumped from below Aya's leg. She followed Aya's orders and extended her claws to cut the arm into two, but it twisted strangely in the air and used its claw-like nails to receive the attack.

The severed arm flew away due to the impact, but it suffered only a slight injury.

Aleen had noticed the arm, but he could not afford to be distracted now. He had the feeling that if he moves his gaze away, the zombie will jump and crush his head in an instant.

On the other hand, he was surprised that the arm could do something like that.

He and the zombie continued observing each other. Aleen thought that the patient zero was waiting for an opportunity to attack, but after a few seconds, he noticed that something was wrong.

The zombie's wounds… They seemed smaller than before.

"Damnit, it can regenerate its wounds!" Aleen shouted while cursing his luck in his mind. Now, he had to take the initiative to attack.
