The End Of Life Chapter 27

He took out the walkie-talkie he had and asked the other two, "So yes, I reached the room you told me about. Now, where is this switch you asked me to restart?"
"Oh! Ok, the switch should be in yellow colors with black stripes over it and the tag 'emergency only" attached over it."
"Denton, as the owner of the company, why do you seem to know all these minor things." This was in Mark's head for the longest time. Denton seemed to know all the routes and solutions in the building.
"I do monthly inspections on all the electronic equipment in the building and so I know all the problems and functions too."
"Ok, then I will restart it and inform me if it will work." and kept it aside.
Looking around, he found the switch by the side on the wall with a cover over it. Flipping the cover off, Mark slowly turned off and turned it back on. As he turned it back on, he heard Denton's voice over the walkie-talkie.
"Yeah Mark, it's working now. Come back."
Walking out of the room, Mark replied, "Alright, open the gate for the military to make its way in. I will be th--"
Before he could finish his sentence, a powerful force hit him from the side, flinging him towards a parked car. Crashing his backside on the car, Mark could feel some bones crack because of the impact. The car was completely dented inside with his outline.
He slowly slid down and started coughing up blood. He kept his hand on his mouth trying to stop the blood and felt a sharp pain in multiple areas on his back because of some glass shards embedded in it.
While still holding his mouth with his hand he looked up and noticed a zombie. As his eyes lied on it, his eyes shrunk in terror. It was easily over 8 feet and weighed over 400 pounds. Its massive size figured out the reason for his crash.

As he continued to look at it, the zombie took a step forward towards him. He looked around for his machete and found it under a car on the other car lane. He felt pain from every part of his body. He slowly got up while trembling. His mind was completely numb, not able to interpret his situation properly.
As he got up as his legs continued to shiver. His thoughts were interpreted as the zombie came even closer to him. He heard Denton's voice over the walkie-talkie, which was also far from him.
"MARK, MARK WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT IS THAT SOUND? ARE YOU OK?"
He slowly walked towards the walkie-talkie noticing this zombie be very slow but his current pace was also slow due to pain. He slowly picked it up and as he did, he noticed the zombie while lifting his head, once again right behind him to kill him. With all the strength he had, he jumped to the side, ignoring the pain.
"DENTON, THERE IS A HUGE ZOMBIE IN FRONT OF ME. ITS TRYING TO KILL ME." while slowly getting up once again.
"WHAT HANG ON TILL WE COME THERE WITH THE MILITARY."
"I WILL TRY MY BEST BUT CAN'T GUARANTEE FOR LONG."
He slowly got up once again and dragged himself away from the zombie which already was on its way towards him. As he slowly made his way, he entered into a different lane and tried to pick up.his speed.
He understood the eerie feeling he was getting and the chill in the air. It was all due to this zombie on the floor. Even the lack of zombies was due to this one. He looked back and noticed the zombie still following him and tried to move quicker.
This zombie looked like it killed many people based on its ugly appearance alone. Its strength was on a different level compared to the zombies he faced until now. He slowly went behind a car and tried to hide behind it when he noticed the zombie was a bit far away.

He could feel the car he leaned on tremble due to the zombie moving. He slowly peeked towards it and found it walking towards him. The zombie was trying to find him, even by flipping some cars in its way.
Mark slowly continued forwards trying to create more time for the military to make its way here. As he dragged his body, the pain also increased a lot. He coughed up another handful amount of blood and clutched his side.
He looked back and found the zombie making its way towards him, and he continued looking at it. As he continued to move forwards looking back, he smashed into a wall and came to a halt. He looked ahead and noticed a dead end.
He turned back and noticed the zombie too clear for comfort. He was completely trapped.

That is, they didn't die yet. We'll see what happens This is a LitRPG which does have levels and stats, but is more focused on Accomplishments, although expect some more classic RPG stuff in the future.
