The air was ripped apart by the rifles' bullets. They tore into the men who were fleeing from Adam. The men let out a scream. Their own friends were shooting them. Adam was unconcerned. Their bodies served a purpose. They served as shields.
The force of the bullets knocked a man backwards. He collided with Adam. Adam remained unmoved. He took hold of the man's body and shoved it forward. He held it like a flesh wall in front of him. The dead man's body, not him, was struck by the bullets.
Adam remained composed despite the commotion and yelling. He moved through the chaos like a shadow. He held his knife. It went quickly. A man was stabbed in the side by him.
The man fell and screamed. He slit the throat of another man. The man fell with a wet sound. There were two more dead. Adam was now among them. Despite being all around him, they were too afraid to engage in combat.
