Rick banged the metal on the wall, and the zombie turned around to face him. He shot a round of bullets toward it, and it fell down dead. "I think that is the last one." One of the men said, looking at my face, and I nodded. "Is everyone alright?" I asked, looking around, and I saw I couldn't find Lisa. "Tell Mark that the people need to know that a war is coming. Grimgar escaped, and we don't know what he might do when he comes back." I said it hastily and ran to find Lisa. Rick's heart pounded in his chest as he ran fast. He knew if they were going to cure the earth and get rid of the zombies, Lisa had a part to play in all of it. He ran towards the door, and he met the gate open. The loud snarl of the zombies could be heard as they moved in a particular direction. He knew it was Lisa, and he wondered where she was diverting the horses too.Rick felt a sharp pain in his head again, and he knew he was getting another system mission. So far, the system has provided guidance and will
"First we need to get ready for battle. I am sure people like Grimgar won't back down easily. Do you have any able bodied men that can fight?" Rick asked looking around Mark sighed, " We have men who are going to lay down their life for the community." He replied " What about your friend? Can she help?" Mark looked at Rick" Since I am helping then she is too. We just need to make sure the defense is well fortified." Rick replied back The whole community was made to work. The women prepared wooden stakes while the men trained the children and fellow men in combat in readiness for the impending attack.As the preparations for the impending battle ramped up, the community buzzed with an intense energy. The air was thick with the scent of wood shavings and sweat as the women skillfully sharpened wooden stakes, piling them up for the defense lines. The men, meanwhile, constructed makeshift barricades, stacking logs and stones to fortify the perimeter. Every person in the community, reg
Rick walked back into his room to meet his wife. Martha was dishing out the food when he walked in. The tension was high between the two of them. Ever since Rick was back, Martha had not been granting him an audience. He walked into the kitchen and stood by the door. "What is it, honey?" Ever since I got back, it looked like you were not happy to finally reunite with me." Rick said, looking at her from behind. "I am sorry; I just can't believe that you are finally back. We have waited for a long time for you to come back, and you didn't." Martha turned back and looked at him. "I tried to come back. When I woke up from the hospital, everything was a mess, and I could barely make sense of everything that had been happening." Rick said he was trying to defend himself. "A lot has changed ever since then. I am now." Martha was about to say something, but then they heard a knock at the door. "Who is it?" Rick furrowed his eyebrows. They were in the midst of a very important topic. Joel
"I would need a name when all of this is over." Rick said, looking at Mark's face. Grimgar got out of his car, and with a microphone, he shouted Mark's name, telling him to give up the sanctuary or he was going to turn it into a burial ground. I looked at his face. "We are not giving up without a fight." I replied I held my walkie-talkie and spoke into it. "Fire a warning shot at one of his men." I commanded Lisa, whose hand was on the trigger. The loud release of the bullet echoed through the night, and one of Grimgar's men fell to the ground, injured. "Is that how you want to play this? he shouted at the top of his voice. There was silence, and nobody said anything. Suddenly, Grimgar and his men opened fire against the doorway. "Get out of there!" I shouted as the bullets penetrated the iron sheets. Bullets were flying everywhere as we all took cover. Mark looked at me and asked, "Do you think we can hold them off?" He asked as he began to sweat. "We need to try, or else we are al
"We just need to kill Grimagar. He is the one instigating the battle. With him gone, we don't need to bother." Rick said he was applying pressure to his wound. "And who will be mad enough to move near him? Do I need to tell you that he is heavily guarded?" Marks stated the obvious."Well, I have just the perfect plan for the job, and it is being carried out as we speak. You need to tell the men to retreat." Rick said, walking out of his hiding place. "Fall back!" Fall back !!" Mark shouted, and the men ran without hesitation. Most of the men had fallen to either gun wounds or zombie bites. The men ran while the women covered their backs, shooting arrows at Grimgar's men.Lisa walked through the smoky gas looking for Grimagar, who was nowhere to be found. She bit into the necks of some of Grimagar's men, turning them into zombies. Lisa realizes another set of her powers. She also has the ability to turn humans into zombies if she wants to. "Where is he hiding!"Lisa shouted at one of
"Put down the gun, Grimagar. You are making a very big mistake.Do you think you can walk out of here right after you shoot at anyone in here?" Mark asked with his face laced with anger. They had been distracted for a while, giving him the chance to grab a gun. "Why didn't you check on him before you brought him here?" Mark shouted at Lisa, who looked back at him with a furrowed eyebrow. "Put down the gun, Grimagar." Rick said, slowly walking towards him. The atmosphere was tense as everyone looked at Grimagar. He was like a time bomb that could go off at any moment. The door suddenly opened, and Jeol ran inside the hall with Martha right behind him. Grimagar saw a golden opportunity and immediately went for Rick's son. "Put him down!" Rick shouted "Say another word, and you will be sorry you said it." Grimagar was sad with a wide grin. Rick looked at Mark as if everything was his fault. "What do you want?" Mark asked, seeing that Grimagar was now holding Joel in his hands. "You wi
"You both need to stop right now and take this out like adults. You see that he is dying." Lisa pointed at Joel. "Go ahead, doctor. Have the bullet taken out." Rick said he was staying by Joel's side. The doctor looked at the nurse, and they immediately prepared for surgery. The loud noise and pain of Joel were heard each time the bullet was tried to be removed. The time was slower than usual, but they finally had Jeol stabilized. "Thank you very much, doctor. I am indebted to you." Rick shook his hands. Dennis smiled. "I am only a doctor, and I am only doing my job." He said it with a smile on his face. Rick looked around and didn't see Martha. "Where is my wife?" Rick asked, looking at Lisa, who was a little sleepy. "She was here a few minutes ago and..." Lisa looked around and didn't see her. "Can you stay with him? I need to find her. We have some unfinished business, and we need to talk about it right now." Rick said that and got up to his feet. "Okay, but promise me you are go
Rick was immediately taken into the infirmary to heal. "You both need to start explaining right now!" Lisa said it with anger. "He entered my room, and the light was out. I had thought he was an intruder, and we fought. That was when Martha walked up to him and stabbed him. Nothing more than that happened." Mark said, looking at Martha, who also noted The doctor walked out with his hand soaked in blood. "We have managed to stop the bleeding. He should be up by evening." He replied and walked away. "I am going to stay with him." Martha said, looking at Mark and Lisa. Lisa looked at her with the corner of her eyes and back at Martha. "I don't think you should. I am going to stay with him. You both can leave now." She said she was looking at them suspiciously. Rick had been one of the best fighters she had ever seen. They had both gone through a lot together to get to where they were now. "Why would you want to stay with my husband? Is there something you are hiding from me?" Martha sa
