《An Average Zombie's Path of Evolution》Chapter 8 - Assault on the Stronghold (1)
Advertisement
Have you ever fallen in love? well me neither, however i have come to like some things to a strong degree.
Right now im staring at a wonderful object which has just become my obsession, a wonderful pair of steel claws. Jet black gloves with a steel frame, the claws are sharp enough to reflect enough light to temporarily blind you, however right now they are being contaminated by a lowly human! oh poor little gloves just wait for me to get my hands on you, i'll make sure to put you to good use.
Naturally i can't aquire them right now, the only reason i was able to spot such a high quality product was thanks to my powerful vision. I'm currently griping to a steel varanda of a four story apartment complex, two hundred meters away is a human encampment, its only purpose is to cut down the number of zombies in the area, preventing a legion from forming and attacking the nearby human strongholds.
We undead are being severly underestimated due to are usually low intelligence, however recently many undead have mutated and gained higher intelligence, for example the Zombie commanders. The zombie commanders are forming their legions right now trying to evolve into zombie lords, however the humans raid the legions before they fully form, learning from their mistakes the zombie commanders have formed the first zombie stronghold or "nest".
Three miles south of the nearest human stronghold is our nest, a sewer maintainance station, the reason they picked that place was not only because it was away from human sight, but also because it was a perfect breeding place for new mutations. Everyday zombies jump inside the manholes that lead to the sewers, the humans are slightly perplexed since the number of zombies wandering the streets has decreased, however they seem to have put it at the back of their heads for now.

Our army has finally reached three hundred thousand, or three legions, we are ready to attack the human stronghold which only has about one hundred and fifty thousand surviviors, but to succeed we realized that we have to take out the the human encampments swiftly without alerting the humans, and naturally this calls for us hunters to be put into action.
Me and my five buddies Number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are currently sneaking here in the apartment complex waiting for the attack to commence.

(Human POV)
"Boss, according to the scouts the surroundings are also facing a similar condition, its as if the zombies have decided to move to a new location"
"Boss! we noticed the abnormality in sector six aswell, i think there's a chance the zombies are gathering together"
(Boss)-"hmm, i also think they are gathering, however we havent recieved any reports from other bases about a legion forming"
"We just recieved a report from a nearby scout thats been serveying the nearby sectors, the report says that an abnormal amount of undead have been spotted entering the sewers through manholes"
(Boss)-"What!, we have to make sure quickly send Bravo squad to survey the sewers, and send a report to main base theres a chance the zombies are getting ready to attack the stronghold through the sewers"
(Bravo Squad POV)
"Listen up jaeson, i'll have you lead bravo squad on a mission to survey the sewers, if you find any abnormalities quickly report them to us via radio and retreat"
(Jaeson)-"Yes Sir, me and my squad will do our best!"
Like that me and my comrades: Charles, Bernabe, Xavier and Julius took off to the the sewers, our main weapons were our usual twelfth gauge shotguns, however since the apocolypse we gained unordinary strength by killing zombies, however unlike our boss the only supernatural abilities we gained was the ability to regenerate quickly and a skill called "overdrive" which gives us boost in strength and speed when we enter a near death state. However due to our increase in physical strength and speed and increase in stamina we quickly rised in positions and became an important scouting force.

(Charles)-"uh are we getting gas masks?, cuz the whole sewer thing... is not exactly to my liking"
(Xavier)- " we did get gas masks tho"
(Julius)- " dued it's in your backpack, hurry up and get it"
(Bernabe)- " haha twenty more kill and i can get that cool gun from the ApocStore"
(Jaeson)- "shut up you morons, this mission might be worse than that time we had to clear the hospital"
(Xavier)- " holy shit, really? that hospital was indeed a mess, however now that i think of it im curious at whats inside the sewers"
(Julius)- "Don't raise a flag you idiots!, damn it were dead"
(Xavier)- "now thats a flag"
And like that me and my squad marched towards the main sewer entrance, even though we were merrily making jokes, deep inside we were deathly scared, since we ourselfs had seen videos of the things that populate the sewers.
The night runners think they seen the worst things since they work during the night, however the sewers is where nightmares are born...

Suddenly, a succubus
The protagonist is a personality like an iceberg: introspective, asocial and completely uninterested in the world and its people beyond necessity. Approaching ships beware! A succubus, on the other hand, lives for desire and interaction, playing mortal hearts like a fiddle. These clearly mix like oil and water, so what do you get when you combine them? This is a story of that kind of emulsion. *** Completed with 62 chapters + epilogue (total of 111k words). *** This novel is bit of an experiment for me. I haven't written fiction before, for one. I also chose a character context that I normally wouldn't, and let the characters drive the story, especially in the beginning. Overall the main focus will be the main character's own story rather than the events of the world. The setting itself uses many familiar fantasy elements, though I plan to add my own twists. Note that I'm not really planning to write any steamy scenes, despite the said character context being literal demons of lust and all. There are of course jokes and scenes that skirt around the subject, but this is not a romance story of any kind. So, is it a mess? Probably. But I hope it's an entertaining one at that.
