Doomsday Pillars

Chapter 92 - Daisy Flower

With all the noise, hundreds of zombies easily turned into thousands. Jakarta was one of the crowdest city in the world, and the business district was the center of it all. There were millions of zombies within the city. There were only five of them, fortunately, all of them already were body enhancers. Daisy at the peak stage, Adam at high stage and all three others were in between of the mid and high stage. With their current fitness and Daisy's ability, it should be easy to escape from these hordes. But at first, they needed to lose these zombies first.

"Let's go inside that mall, we lose them inside and go out the back."

"Ok leader!"

The group hacked and slashed its way towards the mall. Grand Indonesian Mall, the biggest mall in Indonesia.

GROAAARRRR!!! .

Three red mutated zombies spotted the group.

"We cannot outrun them... We should kill them before we go inside. Remember, no guns!"

Adam quickly faced one of them. A pickaxe in each hand... Pa..Pa..Pa.. Within just three moves the red zombie's head got hacked away by the ax. Romi with a saber found it very hard to parry and slashed at the zombie's attacks. Romi got a few scratches by its claw... suddenly...

Huuussshhh. Stab!

A knife went flying and got stuck right in the middle of the red zombie's brain. It instantly dropped to the floor... slowly Daisy moved closer and pulled the knife out. Rick and Roy both worked beautifully together and their steel spears thrust the last zombie.

"Ok, let's quickly go inside."

The group went inside the mall through one of the cafes with an outdoor balcony. The main entrance was fully blockaded by furnitures, a massive fight seemed to have happened a while ago. Probably during the first week of the doomsday.

"Ok we're inside, let's keep our voices down. There should still be hundreds of those zombies inside the mall and we don't want to attract the ones outside too."

The group moved quickly but quietly straight onto the second floor. Most of the zombies were on the ground floor. The second floor was quieter.

"SLAASHHH"

One by one, zombies were being cut quietly from behind. The group swiftly went to the other side of the mall.

"Leader... Leader..."

"..."

"Yes, what is it now Romi?"

"While we are here... can we scavenge some stuff as well?"

Adam responded: "I don't think there is any food left... These things are the first ones taken by the survivors.."

"No.. leader... I mean maybe... hmm... shoes? Or bags... maybe new socks and jackets will be nice."

"..."

"Actually, I could use new shoes as well", Roy said.

.

.

"Ok but don't go too far. We'll stick together... quiet and quickly."

"Roger Leader.... shopping.... shopping."

.

.

Everyone went inside the department store, even Daisy wanted to check out some clothes... Adam accompanied Daisy while still fully alert watching the surroundings. Adam suddenly saw something in the distance...

Currently daisy was trying some clothes in the dressing room, she was after all still a young girl, she loved pretty things... After a few minutes, she went out...

"Adam... what do you think?"

"Adam... "

"Adam... where are you?"

.

.

A figure suddenly jumped onto her...

"..."

It's a hug from behind... Adam's arm around her waist from the back and led her in front of the changing mirror...

"What are you doing?"

"Shhhhh... no noise remember?"

With a cheeky smile on his face, Adam slowly touched her hair and put something in it. It's a beautiful hair clip. Three small yellow daisy flowers were on the hair clip. It firmly held onto Daisy's hair and made her beautiful face shown more.

The young couple stared at each other in the mirror smiling...

"Beautifull daisy flowers for my beautiful Daisy."

"That's such a cheesy line..."

"Well,...But It did make you smile right.."

Adam turned her around facing him, one hand raised her chin, eyes closed and kissed... Two lovebirds finding love in such a strange situation.

But the romance was cut short...

AAAARRGGGHH!!

Adam and Dasiy were startled and quickly followed the scream. It was Romi's. His face pale and sweaty...

"What happened?"

"A ghost... I saw a ghost!"

"What the Fxxxx, are you crazy man?"

Rick was not convinced... This Romi was always such a drama queen.

"Seriously man... I really saw it.. a dark shadow moving in on me."

The group looked at each other in confusion... When suddenly they all saw it...

A shadow figure slowly moving out from the darkness... it turned into the shape of a small boy... it seemed to be watching the group looking at Daisy and approached closer to the group...

Adam quickly jumped in the middle and swung both of his pickaxes at the shadow... And the figure suddenly splashed out like a cloud of smoke.

"Gather up. Back to back create a circle!"

The figure slowly formed again... still approaching Daisy... Adam quickly responded with another slash...

"STOP!! WAIT", Daisy said

"Listen did you guys hear that?....

"Hear what!! I hear nothing!"

"It's calling out to me."

A voice spoke to Daisy's mind.

"Help me....Help me..."

The smokelike shadow stopped right in front of the group... One of its hands pointing out in a direction.. And the figure dispersed in smoke again... Daisy closed her eyes and concentrate on her ability in the pointed direction...

"One survivor in that direction."

"..."

The group found it hard to believe that there was still another survivor holding up inside this mall. A shopping mall was the first place where the survivors went into when the doomsday starts. This was also the first place that got attacked. Therefore when they went inside the mall they didn't expect a survivor.

"What's with the shadow and smoke?"

"Should be an ability user just like mine.", Daisy said.

"So should we go and help?"

"Of course we should."

Daisy was still quiet and suddenly said... "It's the place with the most zombies."... Daisy was worried.

Adam put his hand on Daisy's shoulder..."Don't worry we won't leave without the boy."

"You agree with me boys??"

"Yes. You bet we do leader!"

The group quickly went into the allocated area. It's a restaurant on the ground floor. It seemed like the boy stayed in the back of the kitchen. Seas of zombies gathered in front of the restaurant and filled almost all of the ground floor. There were also a dozen red mutated zombies that could be seen.

"I guess there is no other way boys. We'll go in guns blazing... It will be messy."

"Yes, Leader... Messy is the new sexy."

.

.

Adam sometimes worried about the kind of group he actually led.

.

"Let's go!!"
