As the morning sun began to ascend over the desolate cityscape, its warm rays illuminated the remnants of a once thriving city, now scarred by the carnage of the zombie apocalypse.

Somewhere in the city, a towering structure stood, casting a long shadow over the surrounding landscape.

Beside it lay an open compound, encircled by towering structures adorned with unique colors, a vibrant oasis amidst the ruins.

Within the compound, a young man diligently swept away fallen leaves from nearby trees, his actions symbolizing a small effort in maintaining the beauty that the compound held.

The air was filled with a mix of somber determination and a glimmer of hope as other survivors moved about, engaged in various tasks, their footsteps echoing through the empty streets.

Meanwhile, atop one of the towering buildings, a young girl with light brown hair emerged onto the rooftop.

Clad in a pristine white top and brown trousers, she exuded an aura of resilience and purpose. Each step she too

"We should also establish trade routes with smaller groups. It could provide us with a steady supply of essential items while reducing the risks associated with larger alliances.""And let's not forget about the possibility of expanding our farming efforts. If we can cultivate crops within secure zones, it would enhance our self-sufficiency and provide a more stable source of food." Zhen added."But we must proceed with caution. We've seen groups turning hostile over resources," Zhen Kung interjected, his voice rising above the others."We need to assess the trustworthiness of potential allies and ensure that we don't expose ourselves to unnecessary risks."The man in the black tank top listened intently, his gaze shifting from o

    Standing at the very top of a building was a man who was clothed in rags, with hair and beard looking unkempt. As the wind blew against him dusty particles blew along with it.He stood high up, gazing down at the street down. Body parts, corpses, debris from buildings, and mindless zombies were all littered around.His eyes dimmed as he watched the zombies move around aimlessly, making various noises.His eyes caught a friend of his that was turned into a zombie and immediately, tears rolled down his cheek."How did it all come down to this?""How did I, Ash Heartfield, manage to become the sole survivor of humanity? The last man standing, in this accursed world," he wailed."My parents, my little brother, even my friends... I had to watch all of them die one after the other,""Even those foster parents of mine that later turned out to be the murderers of my parents, they died too,""Although they deserved their deaths for the way they treated me, I had to watch them all die in front

    "Hey, kid!!" The inaudible voice of a man resounded at the back of Ash's mind as he fell to his knees gazing into the burning vehicles in front of him.The sound of fire burning both plastic and iron-like materials was heard from the cars that looked like one collided with the other.Civilians quickly gathered around, in the streets of Wisdom lane as they stared at the tragic accident.Some watched it happen while others didn't, and so the ambulance was called.The blazing flames that engulfed the cars seemed to be growing bigger with each minute and Ash was down on his knees close to it, not minding the heat that emanated from it.He had his full attention on one of the cars as he continued gazing."Kid!!!" The man who was a few meters away from him ran in his direction and was screaming at him to back away from the cars.However, his voice didn't seem to reach Ash."R- run," Those words jolted him back to reality as the hissing sound of air was heard from the car's engine and soon

    Ash walked out of the warehouse with his cell phone in his hand.He had taken a couple of steps before he dialed a number on it.The phone rang several times but there was no answer, Ash tried it again but still nothing. He got furious and nearly smashed his phone on the ground but gained composure quickly."I told him to keep me informed at all times, but now he's not answering his phone. I can't be wasting my time here if he's not answering."Arggh, I hate incompetence," he grunted out with an annoyed look on his face.Ash closed his eyes slowly as he gave off a long sigh into the air.‘I should find a way to contact my younger brother. Keeping him close before and after the apocalypse, would be helpful.’‘But my foster parents said I had nothing to do with him.’ he gazed off into the sky while still thinking.‘I don't know why they are preventing me from meeting him. Could they be up to something?’Just as he was lost in thought, several trucks arrived at the warehouse. "Greetings

    "Hey!!" "Stop right there!!" Several men chased after a young girl through the alley and soon entered the open street."Huh?" Hearing the sounds of footsteps and heavy breathing, Ash turned around to know what was happening when a girl ran past and pushed him off the road."Hey, what the hell?" Ash shouted out to her."Sorry," she replied as she continued running.Ash looked back at the small figure running away from the harm he couldn't quite see. For a second the way she ran looked familiar and her voice too. As he turned to follow her, some men pushed past him, running after the girl, which infuriated him.The girl ran, dodged, and jumped over several people and obstacles alike as she tried to escape the men.After creating a distance between them, she rushed into an alley to hide from them and catch her breath.After several minutes, she thought she had escaped them and decided to check. The minute she looked out of the street, one of the men grabbed her by the neck and lifted

    “When facing an opponent up front, you have to be on high alert,”“They could be weak or strong, but you don't want to take that chance,” a slim but well-built man wearing a faded lemon top with ash trousers stood in front of Ash.He looked like he was giving him a combat lesson, seeing as they both stood in a boxing ring.“Oh, so um... Ramsey?” Feeling lost, Ash tried to ask a question but was cut short.“You have to immediately assume your best defensive stance,” the man continued.“You never know what might happen next, so you have to be prepared,”Ash immediately thought of a scene from his past as he saw Gram standing before him.He brought both of his fists towards his chin as slightly moved back.Immediately, Gram thrust his knife toward Ash, aiming for his chest.“When a person comes at you with, let's say a punch, or maybe even a knife or sword, you must be sharp enough to see it coming and immediately evade it,”“When I say evade, I don't mean fully dodge the attack, it's im

    "I will at least kill one of you before going down!!" The man yelled out as he got closer to them.His grip on the knife tightened as he thrust it through the air, aiming at the girl.'No matter how fast he is, he can not counter me. So the least, he will try to jump in front of the knife in other to protect her,' the man thought within.Just as he predicted, Ash got in front of the knife while trying to protect the girl but..."Ahhh," the man grunted hard as he got slammed to the ground by several police officers."What the" the man questioned."Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you that I already called the cops before getting to this alley," Ash explained."It's not right for several men to chase after a young girl, so I called the cops as I trailed you guys here," "Thank you, we will handle it from here," one of the officers bowed as he gave the order to round up the criminals.Soon, Ash and the girl walked out of the alley unscratched.****Three weeks had passed since the inciden

    "Damn, that beast," A loud voice trembled in the brightly lit room outside of the dark hallway that parted into various rooms and offices.Sir. Edwick could be seen walking about the small spacing between the couch and the glass table before him as he cursed out in anger."How much did I waste just to get that military-grade weapon to take it down, and yet it stood up, high in the god damned sky like a god, looking down on us,""That friggin' animal," he crashed his foot into the nearby stool by the side of the couch and sent it rolling off."I fucking hate all this," his voice kept increasing by the minute along with his anger level."Boss, please calm down," one of the men in a black suit by the side of the room spoke out to him."Shut the hell up, don't tell me to calm down," he replied angrily, his voice trembling. "Do you know what I had to let go of just to get that weapon?""Hmm-" "Of course up don't. You don't know that's why you can tell me to calm down,"He used his hands

    The city lay in ruins, a victim of the zombie outbreak that had plagued it. The once-bustling metropolis was now a barren wasteland, with dust particles obscuring the view and providing a chilling ambiance to an already dark atmosphere.As the dust settled, a massive wall appeared to separate Suzie, Sir Edwick, his soldiers, and their weapons from the towering humanoid zombie that stood only meters away. Even the other team members, standing some distance away, were awestruck by the sight before them.Avion, with disbelief in his voice, finally broke the silence, "S-Suzie? She did that? How?"Everyone was amazed that Suzie, the youngest and seemingly the most inexperienced of them all, had created a wall that was so rigid that it could withstand the attack of a large monster.The wall began to crumble down in the middle of the field, and seconds after it did, Suzie emerged. With her two small weapons in hand, she quickly took a stance and stretched out her legs, sinking her weight i

    **Flashback**Standing by the side of a building in the dead of night were several military men who held their weapons firmly and kept watch around an armored vehicle.They all looked like they were waiting for and also not waiting for something or someone.From the near distance, a man clothed in a black shirt and gray trousers, slightly visible, walked up to them.As he got closer with each step, his boot thudded the ground silently as he tried not to draw attention to himself, his men, who were also clothed in black, trailed behind him.They too had weapons of their own as they walked alongside the man.The minute they got in front of the vehicle, the headlights were turned on, temporarily blinding them.Soon, a military man, who looked like a commander, came out of the vehicle and got in front of it with several of his men.As both groups of people stared at each other with no one uttering a word yet, the military commander breathed into the cold air."The agreement was eleven sha

    'W- what are those?' was the first thought that popped into Suzie's head as soon as she beheld the sight.'What are those circular orbs laying out there?''Why are they white?''No, why is the zombie protecting something like this?'She continued to think and was completely unaware of the danger behind her."Suzie!!!" She heard her name echo loudly throughout the place and immediately got dragged back into reality.Slowly, after realizing that the zombie might have caught up to her, she turned around only to see its large hand crashing down on her.'Is this how I'm going to-' before she could complete the statement in her thoughts...[Boom!!]The zombie crashed its hand on the place where she was and in one strike it crushed everything underneath it.Dust particles as well as smoke screens all rose high into the sky and surround the whole area from the attack.Out of the smoke flew Silver who held on to Suzie in his arms as he came out in a hurry and shortly after, landed on the wall

    After taking a bit of damage, the zombie leaned towards a building and swung its arms against it, causing the building to shatter and rain down on the street.After waiting for the dust to settle, its large eyes moved about, searching for the team but little did it know that they already left that area.Its eyes later manage to search far and wide, and then it spotted them a few meters away.The zombie which was far from where they were and missing a few parts of its limbs, gathered whatever energy it could and threw itself into the air.As its huge size left the ground, the earth around it rose in shattered chunks of debris with it to a certain degree before falling back."From that height?" Edwick's eyes widened in shock as he watched the monster leap into the air from afar."I don't think they will be able to get far away in time," the person beside him added. "Sir, what do we do?""Quick, load the weapon and aim for it before it comes down on them!!""Alright, let's go!!"After lo

    [C- crack!!!]The zombie's knee opened up like a broken wood and in a few seconds, it divided into two, making the zombie fall on one part of its body as the leg fell on the ground."Yeah!!!" Avion and the rest of the ground team immediately burst into celebration as they watched the monster's body drop to the ground.It was the first time they were able to cut off a limb from the monster after several attempts on it."Don't drop your guards down, we still have to deal more damage and find its weak spot!!" The other man that aided Avion reminded them.Meanwhile, at a building not too far from where the zombie was, Silver watched carefully as he tried to pinpoint a location that could be its weak point."There's just nothing, nothing that can be identified as a vital part of the monster," he angrily voiced out as he began to walk about."So what do we do now?" One of the sword users close to him asked.He suddenly stopped and held his chin. 'Judging from what just happened, I could say
