With that said, we found our way through the deadly zombies to Mr. Pings's house.
"Derick's here?", The commander said surprised.
"Quickly, start digging!", I said pointing at the location.
Without hesitating, Mr. Ping and April went down and began to dig; I joined as well.
The rest stood there looking in confusion.
Davis later joined when he saw Derick's foot.
"My God!", Helen exclaimed, "you guys buried him alive?! Or is he dead?", She asked.
".... How... What?! He was here!", The commander stammered seemingly p_ssed.
Everyone ignored them and continued digging.
"The the top!", Mr. Ping said seemingly getting an epiphany.
We hurriedly followed suit.
"Look for the black knife he was stabbed with!", He added.
After a couple of seconds of digging, Davis blurted out: "found it!"
"Wait!", Mr. Ping said as Davis pulled the knife out.
Davis at this time had already taken it out.
"Put it back in!", He yelled.
Before Davis could put it back in, his hand was held by another hand.
Derick was awake.
"Ahhhhh! My hand... My hand!", Davis said in pain.
"Please help!", He added screaming.
Mr. Ping immediately brought out the longer other half of the sword and was about to stab Derick.
In an instant Derick had grabbed his arm and was half way up at this time.
"Derick!", April and Helen screamed as soon as he got up still embalmed, but now a part of his face was exposed.
He sent Davis flying with a push.
Davis came in contact with the wall and became unconscious immediately.
With one hand on Mr. Ping's arm, he pressed harder until the advanced man left the sword.
As soon as the sword fell, he stepped on it and used his other hand to pick him up by his neck.
"Your life ends now!", He said with an angry expression as Mr. Gasped for breath, swinging his legs in a struggle and using his other hand to grab Derick's arm.
All these efforts and screams from the girls and the commander didn't stop him from dying.
As soon as he fell, Derick took a deep breath and looked at the door.
"They are everywhere.", He said calmly and sped out
"Oh my God, what have we done?", April said on her knees as she looked at the dead sub commander.
"Why are you so stubborn! Now look what you've done. 'Send him away', I said, but NO, Xender is a sub commander and listens to no one but her dumb intuition!", The commander said.
"Shut up!", I said p_ssed.
"Unlike you! I am looking for a solution!", I said and stepped out.
Two steps from the door, I could see Derick devouring the zombies one after the other worse than they did the humans.
I had just walked a few steps from Mr. Ping's door when I heard a voice say: "Ms. Xender, let me help you!"
Looking back, I saw April with tears in her eyes as she stood there helplessly.
At this point, I had completely lost hope. So hearing her sa this, I couldn't help but get angry.
"Help me with what? There's nothing we can do.", She said.
"No Ms. Xender, don't give up just yet.", She said as she unwrapped the broken piece of sword, now knife like, Derick was stabbed with from her cloth.
"Can you shoot with this?", She asked.
Just like me, this girl has feelings for Derick, I could relate with her tears, but unlike her, I really can't cry. Even when I am trying so had to, it doesn't work.
On seeing this, my hopeless heart was suddenly lit up.
Just then the commander came out with the sword in his hand.
He looked at Derick in the field and said: "I am going to kill this fool once and for all!"
"I won't stand by and watch you or that dumb boy destroy my fort!", He added as he walked forward.
"The sword wielding commander couldn't kill him, what makes you so special?!", "I asked irritated.
"I am the commander of fort 4, I naturally have more experience than anyone in this fort! I have an experience with almost all the weapons on this field. They didn't make me commander for nothing.", He added and continued marching forward.
It was obvious he was doing this just to be seen by the troops and settlers that he was fighting for them, but the truth is that he is scared to his pants.
I stopped trying to stop him. At least this way he thinks he is going die in a noble way.
But I couldn't help but wonder again how this man actually gave birth to me, he is way too stupid for me to call dad. Even though Derick's a threat, can't he see that right now, he's doing the fort a huge favour. We would have lost way more than we already have if not all.
I shook my head and turned to April and said: "I have a plan!"
Afterwards, I stretched my hand to collect the knife.
She smiled and hurriedly stepped forward.
"What's your plan Ms. Xender?", April asked.
"Let's go get Mrs. Ping!", I replied.
……
We snuck through the devouring zombies, as well as the one's Derick sent flying.
The number of zombies at this time had been cut down alot. The mass majority had either been killed by Derick, or foolishly went to attack him.
Due to that, we arrived at the fort's safe house.
We hid behind a broken tent as we watched and calculated our entry point.
Some zombies had already climbed to the roof of the safe house, while settlers inside threw stones at it, all that did was slowed them down. However, they still jumped in.
It is certain that from that height, they are going to die when they fall to the ground, but it's only a matter of time before they figure out a way in.
As for us, we need to get to the door of the safe house, the guards would naturally open the door for us in.
Looking a the front of the gate though the fail rate is quite high. There were a lot of dead bodies in front of it.
April who had been quiet asked with a trembling voice: "Ms. Xender, how do we get in?".
Fear now is inevitable. It's only a matter of time before one of these things smell and spot us.
To make matters worse, April was injured, these things are very sensitive to fresh blood.
To be continued....
