Re: These Are Not The Zombies You're Looking For
And come they did. A whole pack of mole-zombies popped up from the ground, and these guys were not the shuffling, slow-moving kind either: they were as fast as anything, though their movements were nothing like a human being's.
The ensuing fight was a complete mess, and none of the survivors could remember the exact sequence of events afterwards.
A few images, however, would stay with them for a long time:
Karen tried to run the zombie leader over, but instead he wound up crashing through the windshield, and right next to her.
Five zombies ganged up on Nephi, obviously having identified him as one of the biggest threats, which prevented him from reaching Karen before it was too late.
By the time Nephi was done with the zombie leader, little remained of its body that could be identified as such, but that did not offer him much solace.
Guns began to jam for no apparent reason. The zombies took full advantage of that, three of them jumping on Monica, two on Jane, and four on Hector.
Confusingly enough, nobody attacked Eddie. Maybe they didn't consider him a threat? The net result was that he lost a few precious seconds trying to decide which fire to put out first, and in the end that was enough.
Monica froze for an instant at just the wrong time, and two zombies sunk their teeth in her neck, quite literally severing arteries left and right.
Nephi's healing powers took only a few minutes to come back after the fight was over, but by then both Karen and Monica were too far gone to be helped.
The others just had some cuts, scratches, bruises, bites, and a set of minor injuries that were all easily healed. The other wounds, however, would take a lot longer to mend.
