With a deep breath, the group steeled themselves and began approaching the staircase that led to the second floor. Eggsy instinctively positioned himself closer to Jane, his eyes scanning their surroundings as he subtly shielded her from potential harm.

However, Ajax couldn't help but notice the sudden closeness between Eggsy and Jane, and his curiosity was piqued. He shot them a sidelong glance, his eyes narrowing slightly as he wondered what might be behind their newfound proximity.

As the group ascended the staircase, Eggsy's system popped up above his face, immediately alerting him on an impending threat. A low, urgent voice whispered in his ear, its tone unmistakable.

[Warning: Multiple Zombies Detected]

The message flashed across his vision, accompanied by a flurry of data and statistics.

[Zombies Count: 217]

The sheer number of zombies was daunting, but it was the next piece of information that truly caught Eggsy's attention.

    As Eggsy hid behind the pillar, he had a clear view of the chaos unfolding before him. The horde of zombies, their eyes fixed on their prey, rushed down the staircase with reckless abandon, their footsteps thundering through the hallway as they chased after Ava and the others. Eggsy's instincts screamed at him to launch a surprise attack on the zombies from behind, to take them down and give his friends a fighting chance.However, he knew that such a move would only provide temporary relief. It wouldn't eliminate the main issue, the root cause of the problem. Another horde of zombies might still appear, summoned to the restaurant once again. And unless the main source of the threat was dealt with, this will keep on happening over and over again. Yet the main source remained as no one else, other than Hank, the Hybrid.Eggsy's eyes narrowed as he thought about Hank, his mind racing with strategies and tactics to take him down.

    As Eggsy continued to press Lena for information about Hank's whereabouts, she intentionally ignored him, her expression a mask of indifference. Despite Eggsy's repeated entreaties, Lena refused to give a reply, her silence a palpable force that seemed to hang in the air like a challenge.Lena's eyes locked onto Eggsy's, a sly smile spreading over her face like a slow-moving stain. Her gaze seemed to bore into his very soul, as if daring him to take another step. "You can never stop him," she whispered, her voice barely audible, but her words dripping with malice. "You'll just end up killing yourself." The smile on her face seemed to grow wider, her eyes glinting with a knowing light that seemed to say she knew a secret that Eggsy did not.Eggsy's gaze flickered towards Lena's, his eyes narrowing as he searched for any sign of weakness or deception. His expression was a mask of calm determination, but his voice betrayed a hint of steeliness as he replied, "You think so? Then tell me w

    Eggsy charged forward, his rifle at the ready, loaded and primed to fire off a hail of bullets at a moment's notice. The fog had by now covered the entire room, a thick, impenetrable mist that obscured everything from view. But despite the dense fog, Eggsy seemed to move with ease, his senses heightened as he navigated the treacherous terrain. The gas, too, seemed to have no effect on him, thanks to his advanced combat system, which had somehow managed to neutralize the toxic fumes. "I told you, you're underestimating me," Eggsy said, his voice firm and confident, as he emerged from the fog, his rifle trained squarely on Hank. His eyes blazed with a fierce determination, and his jaw was set in a resolute line, as if daring Hank to make a move. Hank, however, seemed entirely unimpressed, his smile unwavering as he taunted Eggsy. "Just keep talking, you'll soon fall asleep now," he sneered, his voice dripping with malice. But what Eggsy didn't know was that Hank's undead nat

    With a fierce battle cry, Eggsy charged forward, his sword flashing in the dim light of the room. The blade sliced through the air with deadly precision, aimed directly at Hank's towering form. But Hank, anticipating Eggsy's attack, countered with his massive fists, striking the sword with incredible force. The impact caused the sword to flip backwards, its blade spinning wildly out of control, as Eggsy stumbled backwards, his arm numb from the shock of the blow.Undeterred, Eggsy charged in again, his sword flashing in the light as he struck Hank's exposed chest with precision and deadly force. The blade bit deep into Hank's flesh, causing him to stumble backwards, his eyes widening in surprise. But Eggsy knew that he couldn't celebrate just yet, for he was all too aware of Hank's regenerative abilities. And sure enough, as Eggsy watched in a mixture of fascination and horror, Hank's wounds began to heal at an alarming rate, his flesh knitting itself back together with an unnatur

The agony started from his stomach, where he had inserted the infected blood of Hank into his body, and then rapidly spread to the rest of his body, like a wildfire raging out of control.His arms felt like they were being torn apart, his feet like they were being crushed beneath a massive weight. His head throbbed with a relentless, pounding ache, while his toes felt like they were being flayed alive. Every inch of his body hurt, and Eggsy felt like ripping his skin out, like he was trapped in a living nightmare from which he couldn't awaken. The pain was so intense, so all-consuming, that Eggsy's vision began to blur, his consciousness threatening to slip away into the darkness.At that moment, Eggsy's body had reached its breaking point, and his heart had stopped beating, its rhythmic pulse

    The group was finding it increasingly difficult to fight against the sheer numbers of zombies that seemed to be endlessly pouring in, their relentless onslaught wearing down the team's defenses. As soon as one zombie was taken down, another would immediately take its place, raining down another wave of bullets at the group, forcing them to constantly dodge and weave to avoid being hit. The zombies seemed to be everywhere, their numbers appearing to be endless, and the group was beginning to tire, their movements slowing as the constant barrage of gunfire and zombie attacks took its toll. Despite their valiant efforts, the group was starting to get overwhelmed, their situation growing more desperate by the minute.Marcus had been performing admirably thus far, taking down as many zombies as he could with his quick reflexes and sharp shooting skills. Despite being vastly outnumbered, he had managed to hold his own, his confidence and determination inspiring the others to keep fightin

    With a burst of electrifying energy, Eggsy unleashed his Lightning Bolt ability, feeling the familiar surge of power course through his veins. The activation of this potent skill came at a steep cost, however, as a staggering 100 HP was drained from his total health, leaving him with a precarious half remaining. Yet, Eggsy didn't flinch or hesitate, his unwavering determination to defeat Hank once and for all outweighing any concerns about his own well-being. The sacrifice was worth it, he thought, as he steeled himself for the impending showdown.With a fierce grip, Eggsy's hands clutched tightly onto Hank, securing his hold as he prepared to unleash his electrifying attack.

    - (Last Chapter) -Before I realized what was happening, a collar was being snapped around my neck, sharp electrical pulses shooting through me. Suddenly I couldn’t move, could barely breathe. Panic filled me, joining the adrenaline rushing through me, and my body wasn’t sure how to react. Keep fighting, or shut down.“What are you doing?” I heard Kat scream. “Let her go!”She could see me? The collar, maybe...Keep fighting. Definitely keep fighting. I tried to stand, but my legs refused to cooperate.“You want me docile? Leave the girls out of this,” I tried to shout, but only gurgles escaped.“Ethan?” Reeve gasped. “Help us!”“You told me you wouldn’t hurt Reeve,” Ethan shouted.Instant comprehension. He knew the Hazmats, because he was one of them.He was the spy—no doubts about that now—and he had gotten some of his information from Reeve. When I’d lived with her, she’d known my schedule. The rest he must have gotten by watching me.He’d covered his tracks very well. I still felt

    I wasn’t going to get through to her, was I? “Seriously, how did you find me? And who is we?”“I can answer that.” Ethan moved to her side, watching me warily.Ethan? The potential spy?Great. Wonderful. This couldn’t get any worse. “Fill me in before I have a panic attack.”“Well, for starters,” said another female, “I found out about the zombies.”Reeve stepped up to Kat’s other side.Okay. It was officially worse.“My dad doesn’t know that I know,” Reeve said.“When you disappeared, Reeve did some investigating, and told me what she learned,” Ethan said, “and that’s when we discovered the zombies, and your whereabouts, and decided to bring Kat in to help us save you. You’re welcome, by the way. Do you have any idea what we had to do to hack into Mr. Ankh’s computer and get the coordinates to this place?”I hoped that was rhetorical.“In other astonishing news,” Kat said before I could process everything I’d been told, “Frosty and I broke up—of course. He wouldn’t tell me where you

    He loaded a third. “This is a sedative.”I felt a third sting, and whatever the sedative was, it worked quickly. Darkness fell over me, and my knees collapsed. I knew nothing more.My head pounded as I blinked open my eyes. I lay on...my bed? No, the mattress beneath me was too narrow to be mine. Gingerly I sat up. Dizziness struck me, and I moaned.“Hey, Ali-gator.”Cole’s voice. I breathed deep in an effort to clear my head, saw the haunting beauty of his face. I hated to look away, but curiosity got to me. We...were in a small bedroom I didn’t recognize, with log walls and planked floors.“You’re in a secluded home Ankh owns. It’s twenty miles from my house,” he said, “but they aren’t highway miles, so it takes me forty minutes to get here.”I’d been banished.My expression must have fallen to reflect my dismay, even though I knew this was for the best, because he added, “You’re too dangerous to be around others right now, sweetheart.”Acid eroded my throat, and I choked. “I know,

    “O-kay. I should have guessed this was why you both took off so unexpectedly.”Nothing except Frosty.Dang it! I was so sick of interruptions!Cole sprang away from me, assuming a battle-ready position.Frosty rolled his shoulders, hard and intractable, and just as ready. “Don’t bother trying to get rid of me. I’m not leaving without Ali. Nana is worried.”“Fine. But you will turn around,” Cole snapped.Though he looked as if he wanted to protest, Frosty obeyed.My cheeks burned, and my heart pounded as I sat up. Cole helped me right my disheveled clothing before righting his own. Our gazes locked for a long, strained moment, and we both knew there were a million things we needed to say, but couldn’t. Not now.Later, he mouthed, hooking a strand of hair behind my ear.I should tell him no again, that this was it, the end. I might be dangerous to his health, but he was dangerous to my self-control. Instead, I found myself nodding.Cole kept his arm around me while we walked back to the

    “You trusted me,” I said, shocked to my soul, “despite what you saw.” That was absolutely, utterly huge.“Yes,” he said. He fit his hands against my jaw. “I told you I did. I’m in this thing, Ali. All the way.”“But...why did you stop texting me?”I saw the ice frost over his eyes, and I shuddered. “My dad was monitoring my phone feed.”Oh. The ice wasn’t for me, but for his father.I looked away from him, trying to give myself time to think, and caught a glance of my reflection in the glass. I stumbled backward.Zombie Ali was back.Flickers of red burned in her eyes, and the black smudges on her cheeks were thicker. She smiled at me, waved—and then, through the reflection, I watched her step out of my body, away from the glass.With the tick of a clock loud in my ears, I watched Z.A. glide off the porch and into the driveway. She paused to look back at me and crook her finger, a silent command for me to follow. A need to know her purpose consumed me, and I stepped off after her.Unc

    He even dropped me off at work, only to return an hour later and remain inside the coffeehouse for the rest of my shift. My coworkers stared at him, the guys frightened, the girls excited. Everyone whispered, speculating about who he was, and why he was there.I think I blew their minds when I left with him.“Any zombie sightings tonight?” I asked. The moon was high, full.“So far, none.”“Shouldn’t you be out there searching?”“I traded nights with Gavin.” His voice tightened. “He owed me.”“Don’t fight him over me. Over what happened.”“I want to, but I won’t,” he said tightly. “You aren’t mine. Not officially. Technically he didn’t do anything wrong.”He dropped me off at home but didn’t try to kiss me. I couldn’t blame him.I received a text from him the next day. No party tonight, I’m sorry & I’m not ditching U this time, promise. My dad is sending me out of town. Will U miss me?Me: I plead the 5th.Him: I will definitely miss U.Sappy girl. My heart soared.I could have gone to

    “I’m so glad you’re okay. When Cole called and told me you’d been in a car accident, my heart almost stopped.”“I’m sorry,” I said.“Ali, I don’t know what I’d do if I lost you.”“Nana, I...” Didn’t know what to say.“I know you’re fighting for a good cause, but it’s hard on me sometimes. Waiting and worrying.”“I’m sorry,” I repeated, but I couldn’t promise to morph into a normal teenager with normal problems, and we both knew it.“Yes, well, enough about that for now.” As she bustled around the kitchen to make me a sandwich, she changed the subject and said, “Are you and Cole back together? Or are you seeing two hot totties at the same time? Or are you single and just playing the court?”Hot totties? Playing the court? “No, Cole and I aren’t back together, but we are going to a party on Thursday. And Gavin... Well, he and I will only ever be friends.”“I think maybe you need to rethink things with Cole. He’s good for you. You light up when you see him, and he can actually get you to

    He instantly sobered. “Okay. Point taken.”“Tell me her name. I’m going to track her down and knock her teeth down her throat.”“As hot as that is, no. She’s part of a past I’d now like to forget. But...I’m glad you never slept with anyone. I don’t like the thought of you with anyone else, probably would have fed the fuc—uh, the guys more than teeth.”Must resist this possessive, charming side of him. “Do I get another question?”“You get as many as you want.”He sounded determined.I’d probably make him regret that.“Did you sleep with Veronica?”He stiffened, but he didn’t hesitate to answer. “Yes. But it was over a year ago, when we were dating.”“Mackenzie?”“Yes. Months ago, for a little while after we’d stopped dating. Then I met you, and that was over.”“Others?”“Yes. You want the exact number?”“No,” I grumbled. Yes. Maybe. “Am I the only girlfriend not to go all the way with you?”“No,” he said. “But I wouldn’t change anything about what we’ve done—and haven’t done. I wanted

    “I’ll tell him.” My pronouncement was quickly met with inquiring glances. “I know what it’s like to lose your family. And I know you guys do, too,” I added in a rush. They’d all lost someone in the war. “But with me, the loss is fresh. Jaclyn was his twin, and he loved her more than he loved himself. I felt the same way about Emma.”Mr. Ankh sighed. “Very well.”Cole made the call.It wasn’t long before Mr. Holland was escorting Justin to my bedside. He sat down opposite Cole, his expression closed off. He had no idea why he was here. My chin trembled as I said, “Justin, I met with a man named Dr. Bendari.”He nodded. “You’ve mentioned him before.”“Yes. He was...he was killed in front of me.” Tears streamed down my cheeks, burning, leaving track marks, I was sure.Justin softened. “I’m sorry.”“Before he died, he told me that your sister—”With a pained groan, he jumped up, the chair skidding behind him. “I know. Don’t say it. Don’t you dare say it.”“You know?” Cole asked.Justin cl
