《An Average Zombie's Path of Evolution》Chapter 16 - Clash
Advertisement
“Ah, What the hell is that!”
A group of survivors were having lunch when the sound of the trembling ground caught their attention. In the distance a huge cloud of dirt was quickly approaching, menacing howls echoed in the sky, at the front of the horde a very fast zombie was quickly dashing towards the city entrance.
“Quick Sound the alarm!, also reinforce the city checkpoint!”
*raaannng* *raaannng* *raaannng* (Civil alarm siren)
“Code Red, Imminent attack detected; All civilians are to stay in their dwellings/hold their positions.”
Troops of soldiers and armed civilians began reinforcing their streets and homes, while most of the other soldiers began reinforcing the city checkpoint, where the horde was expected to impact. Many civilians even began to reinforce their neighborhoods and even set up roadblocks.
While everyone was either getting ready or panicking there were also those who took advantage of the situation and began to sneak around and start stealing objects that they like or the rations of others.
The churches were rapidly flooded, since they became public shelters protected by both the public and the army many decided to take shelter at them, or at least leave their kids or family as they began to prepare for the worst scenario in which they may have to fight against the horde themselves.
At the city checkpoint a large blockade was formed with fences, civil blockade tools, police equipment and large vehicles. Several vehicles were mounted with machine guns, explosive weapons, and even survivors with holding blunt weapons and molotov cocktails.
At the front of the defence several bear traps and even landmines were hastily planted, they estimated around 30,000 zombies in this zombie horde therefore they didn't spare any effort nor materials when it came to reinforcing the city checkpoint.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A serious look appeared in my face as I neared the city, I'm sure the city is already aware of our presence and should be hastily preparing to meet us head on.
Our footsteps made the ground tremble, and even caused the asphalt to crack and break apart, Our growls caused the air to vibrate as our momentum increased. Many other groups of zombies kept on joining us as we made our way towards the city entrance, where i'm sure is the the city’s special checkpoint

Since my goal is to destroy the city I decided it would be best to clash against them head on, decimate their main strength, and completely wipe out the civilian outposts in the city.
We were several hundred meters from the city checkpoint when I noticed they really spared nothing to reinforce their city, They prepared a lot of gifts to greet us.
“GRAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
I gave a large scream which probably translates to “attack” in zombie. Soon the crowd riled up and their speed dramatically increased, I also increased my speed as I lead the horde.
*bratatatatatatata*(Gun noises, I guess)
Soon a barrage of bullets started raining down on us, the stronger zombies positioned in the front were not affected by the bullets from directly in front of us, and even shielded the weaker zombies, however the machine guns positioned in high places such as the guard towers quickly began to mow down the weaker zombies at the back.
Suddenly my pupil shrunk as a small shiver ran through my spine; burning my reserve energy, I activated my kagune and turned wiped my blade whips forward.
*Cang* Clang*
I slapped away two large and pointy bullets that were heading towards my head and heart, I looked at the direction the bullets originated from and quickly spotted a hidden sniper on a building about a kilometer away.
When he saw I actually hit his bullets his face paled as he fled from the building.
‘Oh no you don’t’ I think to myself as I rip out a metal rod from a nearby piece of concrete, I see the dim figure running through the emergency stairs located on the outside of the apartment building he was on.
I carefully aimed and took a deep breath
*Booom*
A small shockwave formed as I threw the metal rod towards the sniper guy, It quickly arrived before him who was climbing down a rusty ladder and pierced right through his back and into his heart.
Nearby survivors were only able to see me throw something, but they didn't know what I threw nor where I threw it since their vision was greatly inferior.
Dashing past several cars, landmines and other obstacles I quickly arrived before a red truck with a mounted machine gun, a group of six survivors with rifles were constantly firing at the horde.

Like a flash I appeared before them, my kagune’s tendrils lashed out and minced them into pieces, upon seeing their blood my senses took over as I frantically picked up a severed leg and devoured it up to the bone.
“You Bastard!”
A Survivor wearing a road crossing uniform lashed out at me with a red firefighter axe, the axe impacted me back and made me spit out some flesh, however it caused no sort of real damage to me.
“YOU DARE DISTURB MY MEAL!”
Hearing my shout the survivor’s face paled as he looked at me in horror, his body trembled as his head was swiftly severed from his body.
*Tremble* *Tremble* *Tremble*
The main body of the zombie wave finally hit, all the obstacles the city set were easily crushed, pushed aside or torn down by the impact of over three million kilograms of flesh moving at a speed of about 40 km/h.
Loud screams rang as guard towers were knocked down, groups of hunters pounced anyone that tried to flee and the unending waves of undead cornered every human in the blockade.
*Boooom* *Booom* *Booom*
Loud explosions filled the night sky as mortars and other explosives constantly rained on the undead wave. A large amount of burning zombies kept on moving even as their skin combusted and peeled off, even zombies who lost their limbs kept the unending assault going as they crawled through the ground.
We were about to break through to the outer city into the inner city , however a new enemy showed up.
A small but muscular man wielding a baseball bat killed any undead who attempted to cross.
His swings sent groups of undead flying, after each swing a red glow radiated off the bat.
“Grawwwww”
I short howl and alerted the zombies to step back. They immediately listened and retreated behind me.
That's when I began to speak, in an improvised chuunibyou sounding way.
“For going against the lord of the dead, and impeding our progress, I lord sparks will personally eliminate you! Be Proud human, to be killed by me is a huge honor!”
‘Well there is no lord of the dead, well none that I know of.’ I think to myself.
“An undead that could speak, you must be the horde’s leader, for killing all these innocent lives, I will make you pay!”
He spoke with both anger and pride in his voice.
He charged towards me, as his body lifted of the ground, the asphalt below him cracked. Like a dark flash he appeared in front of me, his bat piercing towards me, I quickly block with four of my kagune’s tendrils, and lash the other four at him.
*Clang* The impact sends my body flying several feet back, and at the same time my tendrils force the man back several feet.
‘That bat, it's definitely not made of normal metal’
I send all my tendrils at him again, as he hits them away with his bat, I rapidly send a barrage of fists at him, he also blocked them with the bat and caused my hands to start burning.
One of my fists manages to sneak through the bat and head towards his torso, however he meets it with his other hand that let go of the bat, he’s pushed back several steps before regaining his balance..
I try to quickly take advantage and lash out my tendrils again, however he quickly meets them with his bat. I kept on lashing my tendrils out at him non-stop in an attempt to tire him out and each time he tried to get close to me I rapidly retreated away from him.
The Speed of my attacks quickly increases as large droplets of sweat drip down the man’s face, one of my tendrils sneakily lashes at his legs, he attempted to dodge it but it only result was my tendril slashing his achilles tendon into two pieces.
“Argg” as he falls to his side he gives an agonized growl, he looked towards my direction but all he saw was a blur. A fist rapidly appeared behind his head. The impact instantly caved his head in, brain matter bursted around the area as several streams of blood sprayed the road.
“Graaaaaaa”
All The zombies riled up and the survivors maintaining the blockade paled as they attempted to make a run for it.
All That's left is to slaughter the inner city, sooner or later this will become the first main base for our race.

Sweetleaf Cultivation
If you’re reading this. Not cool Dude! Or Dudette. Hashtag Resist. Seriously though, it’s not nice to read other people's diaries. Yes, it's a diary, kind of. The only men who call their diaries journals have an issue with their own masculinity I think. Well, I guess I can’t be too angry, considering if this is in anyone else’s hands I’m probably dead. Or I lost it. I lose stuff a lot. Since you’re here, regardless of the reason, I guess I’ll tell my story, such as it is. I know, why tell my story when I could tell you about the Fall of Killianor, or the story of when Micha the Bold banded together with his underdog group of misfits to destroy the Pallantine Regime. Hell, even the tale of Tulsa and Gran’s star crossed love affair would probably be better. If you don’t think so after finishing this you more than likely have poor taste. Weird taste, at any rate. Hello RR! Welcome to the greatest work of fiction you will ever read! ... .... Did you believe that? Cause its not. At all. This is my first work that I will have published in any fashion, and to be completely honest is more to gain practice for my real story. That is not to say I do not care about it. I do. I will do my best to finish it in, if not satisying, at least a conclusive manner. I will warn you however that updates will be infrequent at best though chapter length will not be under 2000 words. I work third shift currently, and at over 40 hours a week I do not have much time to really devote to this at the moment. I DO have an outline for the novel complete, but currently only about 5 actual chapters written and edited. There will be mistakes, including grammar and continuity, plot holes, etc.. If you see these please either comment or feel free to message me directly, and I will get it updated asap. Aside from a fledgeling authors mishaps, expect to find a somewhat comedic slice of life, with a mish mash of xianxia and western fantasy themes, tropes and the like. There will be some gore, network tv levels of sexuality, and absolutely no harems. There will also be COPIUS amount of swearing and drug use and while I said there would be no harems already he may find people in polyamorous situations. I hope you enjoy this, and as a last aside I beg of you not to rate it super low without justification, and if you give a bad rating please leave an actual review so that i know what I need to work on. *Original cover as of 09/01/20. Mishmash of stock photos and edits. HAVE FUN!
