Chapter 74 Fighting Dirty
Usually, the zombies one would come across would have some of their body parts missing, or maybe a few broken bones here and there, but they would still be able to function. It was the norm since, for one, Zombies couldn't feel pain, and second, the way they had died, either being chased down by others or fighting to the death for their lives before being bitten.
However, the Zombies coming out of the crate were different. Their arms were moving inward, bones were sticking out from their bodies, and many even had some of their limbs completely missing. In particular, there was one, a female zombie with short black hair.
She had her mouth open wide and was dragging herself across the floor. Using her hands and nails to dig into the ground, she pulled herself to move. It was the only way she could move because it looked like someone had ripped off her legs from the knee down.
There were bandages wrapped around the ends, soaked in blood. For Pink, this Zombie stood out more than any other.
"What did you do to my sister? What did you do to Jasmine!" Pink shouted while pointing toward the Zombie on the ground.
"Jasmine?" Cobra said with his finger on his chin. Even with the fact that two people now stood in his way, blocking the exit, he was unafraid and unfazed by the situation. Not to mention the zombies were moving incredibly slow from the container, and it would take around 5 minutes before they reached Cody.
On top of that, they would consume him before they moved on to the others.
"Ah, I remember, Jasmine, it was that girl, wasn't it? The poor thing." Cobra shook his head.
"You see, she was one of our first in the new world and was quite the feisty one," Cobra replied, grabbing his crotch, and the others laughed. "The only thing was, she kept thinking that she could try to escape, so in the end, we had no choice but to make some adjustments to her body. It wasn't our fault though, you see, for some reason, she didn't seem to survive the procedure and ended up turning into that. So we put her along with the rest of them."
Pink had her head lowered, and her fists were shaking, but tears weren't falling out from her face. No matter how hard she wanted to cry, it was as if her body just wouldn't let her. As for Fingers, he was taken aback and even took a step back.
'These people, I didn't even know these types of people existed. How could they do such things...just because the world has changed? It's not even been a week, and they're already acting like this?!' Every cell in Fingers' body was telling him to get out of the place.
What Fingers didn't know was that it was very easy for Cobra and his gang to do things like this because they had already been doing this before the zombies started to rise. People, in their eyes, were just products that could be sold to others in different ways.
Whether that was body parts, internal organs, or services they could provide, the gang members had long lost the emotional connection they had with their fellow humans, and now that their world was like this, any little bit of humanity they might have had before had completely disappeared.
"I'll kill you and do the same to you as you did to my sister!" Pink shouted at the top of her lungs.
It was then that one of the men next to Cobra pointed towards Pink's legs. Due to the situation, they hadn't noticed, but Pink's legs were covered in bite marks.
"Now, this is interesting, very interesting." Cobra licked his lips again. He was carefully observing the actions of the weird couple in front of him.
Pink was done with talking, and she couldn't take the sight of the man in front of her anymore, and she instantly ran forward, straight toward the Cobra gang.
"I'll kill you and then take my sister out of here!"
The two men with weapons from before stood in her way. They were ready, and when Pink was close enough to the first one, one of them swung the bar at her head. Moving to the side, Pink avoided the hit, and the crowbar crashed against the ground.
With a strong high kick right to the man's face, she made him fall over backwards, falling straight to the ground, and it didn't look like he was going to get up any time soon as an imprint and indent on his nose could be seen.
'It was a good kick, it looks like she's trained in fighting of some sort, and she has quite flexible hips as well, but what is with that power?' Cobra thought. 'A woman that size shouldn't be able to make a big guy like that fall over so easily, and it looks like he's knocked out cold, can't even get up. Ugh, do I have to handle everything now? What a bunch of useless tools.'
After seeing the first kick, the remaining three weren't going to take the opponent lightly. The small woman dressed in Pink was no longer a small threat. And upon seeing an opening, one of the men threw out a punch.
Trying to match it, Pink went for a kick. Her kick hit him right at the elbow, and his arm was whacked away. But before Pink could get her foot down, another one had run into her, and rugby tackled her, slamming her onto the ground and pinning her down with his knees.
"We fight every day. You think we can't deal with a little bitch like you?!" the man hollered.
Seeing this, Fingers realised that he would have to now get involved but wondered if he could. In the end, he made his decision and ran away.
"I'll get help!" Pink heard a fading voice.
Seeing this made Cobra and the other laugh out loud.
"Some friend you have there, it looks like you're all on your own now. Maybe if there were two of you and just as skilled as yourself, then I would have had to fight a bit more seriously." Cobra smirked.
Pink gritted her teeth while glaring at Cobra.
"Screw you!" Pink cursed and twisted her wrists as much as possible in order to get her nails into the right place to dig them right into the man's thigh.
Before the man could react, she had dug them in deep, causing him to scream and move his leg slightly. Instantly, Pink got her chance and was able to get up, but instead of going for a kick, or a punch, she opened her mouth wide and bit down hard on the man's neck.
'I don't care what happens to you guys. You can all go and eat each other for all I care!'
