The big metal gates screech and scream as they slide against the concrete. Revealing a desolate world of collapsing buildings.
"The plagued are less energetic during the day, so use this time to sleep, it is nightfall that you should fear." A soldier pushes us on through.
I break out into a run. Large groups draw infected, I glance at Guanyu who is running the opposite direction of me. We already agreed to meet up on the third day, so for now I just have to focus on killing weaker undead. Lowest tear infected, the plagued. They are not fast during the day, but do travel in large numbers, at night however they can sprint upwards of twenty miles per hour. Their bite can turn you into one of them, so stay out of close range. Some idiots brought swords, spears, and staffs, those will only lead to their demise. The gun in my pocket was specially designed to kill the infected, the mana core inside reacts with your internal qi, which increases the power of the projectile. There is only one issue, the standard mana core can only survive ten shots out of a pistol. Not too much of an issue though as infected have mana cores in the place of their heart. Easiest way to kill an infected is by destroying their mana core, but then you can't take it, so pros embolize them, before nabbing it from their moving corpses. I just have to count, and make sure to not waste a shot.
Ducking behind cover, I watch a small group of five plagued. Their rotten bodies shamble to and fro, like some kind of mindless puppet. This will be my first kill, I am getting antsy. I draw the gun from my pocket, pulling it up to my eye, looking down the sight I hover it over one of their chests. Pull the trigger, that is all I have to do.
"Bang!" My gun speaks as one of them falls like a sack of rocks.
The others turn in my direction, they move at me in a falling wave, hate beaming from their eyes.
Relax, take the shot. Bang, the mana goes in and exits one, but it still charges me. I missed? Just calm down. Fire. bang. Once more the mana flies through it, and still nothing happens. Seven shots left, I need at least two to embolize one, so I have to make them count. I take a deep breath firing for the third time. Bang. With the sound came the dropping of one, three remaining.
At this point they closed the gap, and I have to start running. Making distance, I line up my sights. Bang. A complete miss, grazing its side. "Stupid gun." I smack it. Rerighting myself, I blast two shots into the closest ones chest, dropping it. Damn this stupid day. I blast another two shots killing the fourth. The fifth jumps forward trying to grab me, but I send a bullet through its core. How many shots do I have left? I shot one, then, I don't know? Flipping open the revolver, I chuck the gun onto the ground, it bounces skiding into some grass. "Fuck this shit."
"Hey." Her voice replays through my head. "I recommend you bring a sword."
It hasn't even been thirty fucking minnutes, and I already fucked myself in the ass. "Shit, shit, shit. Mother fucking, bitch." Repicking up the pistol I stuff it into my bag.
I'm sure god is laughing at me, yeah, real funny. This is bullshit with a fucking horse turd on top, that's what this is.
I take a deep breath calming myself. I am in a green area, the farther away I get from the city the closer I get to red. Blue and purple are tough even for experienced roamers. So that leaves just the green zone, like I said. Damn, fucking, bitch. I can't even increase my score like this, all my training was pointless.
