Level up Zombie

Chapter 54 Fall Titan

The giant fist smashed through the alleyway walls as if they were nothing, and now, after recoiling, it came straight toward Zain. He moved his head at the right time, causing it to miss him completely. The attack was powerful, and one could feel a gust of wind as it moved Kun's hair.

"F*ck F*ck F*ck. Do these things follow you? If that's the case, we can't go back to the base like this." Kun started to pull his hair when he looked back to see what was happening.

However, Zain was wondering something else. How was the Titan able to sneak up on them? Before, when it walked, its footsteps were so heavy that they could feel the ground beneath their feet would shake, but now it seemed to have come out of nowhere.

Noticing how its punch didn't work, the Titan bent back and pulled its arm out again. It was still too large to go through the small alleyway gap. Getting its shoulders in, it started to get ready, and the next second it began to run right after them.

Its shoulders were breaking through both sides of the solid wall, not slowing it down even for a second. The bricks falling on the ground were crushed by the Titan's feet, and it looked like the zombie was even picking up speed.

Kun had started running a long time ago, and Zain had set the [Follow] command on Skittle and made him follow the former, since one thing Kun seemed to be good at was running.

While running down the alleyway, they could see its other end, which opened to the main street. All three of them ran as fast as they could, but the sound of the wall breaking and bricks getting crushed was getting closer and closer.

,m "Don't look back. Just keep running. Don't look back, don't look back!" Kun turned his head and saw that the Titan was now just a metre away. Something that looked slow had caught up with them. "Why did I turn around!"

"Jump!" Zain shouted as he could feel that the Titan was on their backs. All of them leapt forward, and while jumping, Zain turned around to see the Titan right in front of him.

He took out the baton and placed it in front of him, but the Titan threw his punch right into Zain and sent him flying across the street, all the way through a glass window of a shop.

Skittle and Kun got up from the floor, and the latter wondered what to do. He soon heard the cracking of glass from behind them to run left or right.

Zain had gotten up, glass pieces were pierced in his body here and there, while the impact had twisted his arm, and even his baton was now bent to the point where it was useless.

"You damned Titan!" Zain shouted as his arm healed and his bones began to get attached back into place. The laceration on his skin also began to patch up as well. "I wanted to kill you the last time we met, but then you followed us and hurt me again. Now I'm pissed."

Stepping over the shop's glass window, Zain jumped out of the window with a fierce look in his eyes.

'What is going on? Who is this guy? How could he just heal like that?' Kun thought. 'Never mind that, is he really thinking of fighting an evolved Zombie on his own? I would….never do something like that.'

Looking at himself, Kun noticed a couple of weapons on himself, but in a situation like this, a knife and a make-shift molotov cocktail wouldn't be able to do much. They were not designed for situations like this, and Kun had seen how strong the armour was on this thing when it took out the military.

The incendiary grenade only worked because the rocket launcher had taken out the armour on the outside.

Before Kun could make up his mind on whether to help or not, he saw that Zain had already run past. The latter stopped dead in front of the Titan. The next second the Titan lifted its large arm and went for a punch.

It was powerful, and to most, it might have been considered fast, but to Zain, this one was slow. He easily moved out of the way, and the powerful punch slammed into the ground. Then Zain started to climb up the Titan's arm and swung round its back like a monkey.

Zain held onto the large back piece of armour the Titan had, the hard skin he had tried to pry open earlier.

"I won't be on here long, so you can do the same thing again," Zain said as he pulled out one of the guns and placed it right in the gap, tilting it.

Immediately, Zain fired, shot after shot, and the Titan shrieked in pain. The bangs resounded throughout the main street, and it was starting to gather the attention of the other zombies. He knew this was a risky move because the higher the density of regular zombies, the higher the chance there were Stage 2 types amongst them, but the only solution he could think of right now needed him to use these guns.

'I know I told myself only to use these in an emergency situation, and I'm just going to have to count this situation as an emergency situation!" Zain quickly switched guns before he had to change magazines on one of them.

There was no clicking sound. It was as if he instinctively knew how many bullets one could hold in a gun like this.

The Titan was now writhing in pain. With the other gun, Zain decided to fire down its back again but was now aiming for the joints, where the armour was connected to the skin tissue.

As he fired downward, the flesh would rip away from the armour, and it was becoming loose by the second. Zain continued to fire more and more again, and then, putting the gun away, he pulled its back armour with all his might, ripping it off the Titan and throwing it to the ground.

Quickly clenching his fist, Zain didn't hesitate as he went towards its back and shoved his entire arm right through its flesh. However, he didn't stick it the whole way as he knew he wouldn't be able to pierce through it to the other side.

He then grasped a hand full of flesh and organs and ripped them out from its body.

'I noticed, for some reason, this guy feels pain unlike me and the others, but I am sure, just like the other Zombies, I have to go for the head to take him out.'

Now that there was a hole in its back, Zain again put his hand in. However, this time, he had his gun with him. The Titan was in too much pain to react, and Zain simply did everything too fast. He placed his hand in the hole with a gun pointing upwards and began to shoot, bullet after bullet.

From inside, the bullets went up the Titan's head, where there was no armour, and it didn't take long for the system prompts to appear.

As he pulled his arm out, the Titan fell to the ground, and Kun witnessed everything in disbelief.

"You really killed it…all on your own."
