《An Average Zombie's Path of Evolution》Chapter 13 - A new Era is Coming
Advertisement
Below Sector Four, sewer passage twenty-four…
Even though the sewer passages were dark and damp, my skin felt unusually pleasant, even the smell stimulated my senses. No wonder the undead came here in swarms.. But how come I can’t sense any other undead besides me, I mean these men are indeed strong but not to the point in which they could wipe out the undead Legion in the treatment plant.
For now i’ll continue stalking them.
(Guy named Xavier) “The secondary objective should be here according to the intel”
(Leader guy) “ok, lets take out the secret weapon”
(Guy named Julius) “i got it” he unhooks a shoulder bag wrapped around his shoulder
*Zip*
From the bag he takes out a medium briefcase probably made out of titanium.
(Leader guy) “the higher ups called this a “Quinque” apparently it’s a special prototype created to fight the specimen.”
(Guy named Xavier) “I got the serum” the guy stupid looking guy takes out a glass vial filled with cloudy gray liquid.
“Graaa...Kukuku” “mu..st...kill”
My senses instantly heighten, my body starts reacting strangely upon hearing the words with no clear origin. A feeling of rage starts surfacing, not from my mind but from my instincts, I try my best to suppress them but to no avail.
“Che..must...calm down” I whisper to myself words of encouragement as I quietly dig a hole in the wall to crawl in and focus on suppressing my feelings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Jaeson) “ that voice…that's without a doubt our target”
(Julius) “ so it does have intelligence”
(Jaeson) “while it does have intelligence, it’s brain shouldn't be too well developed yet”
(Xavier) “ Activating the Quinque” xavier says as he presses the suitcase.
We weren't sure why this suitcase was called a weapon but now we understood, to our surprise when the the suitcases lock button was pressed a curved blade approximately six feet long and two inches wide sprang out, the sword closely resembles a chinese long saber I once saw in a friends collection.
I'm not sure at all how it works, but as I can see the sword also contains biological matter, small blood vessels are visible as they slightly glow red. The blade sort of looks as if it were alive.
(Jaeson) “okay, now spread the liquid in the vial on it”
Xavier opens the vial, a small Imprint on the glass is barely visible, it reads “Rc Cells”.
He then spills the liquid on the blade.
A rapid transformation takes place, the blade grows three feet longer, and one inch thicker. An ominous red aura starts spilling from it.
“Grr Awwwwwww!!!”
A loud and angry cry resounds from the passage leading to the treatment station.
(Xavier) “hehe, i’ll wield this baby with all I got let's go”
(Jaeson) “hmph, i decide things here, Let's go!”
Our pace rapidly increases and turns into running, I actively look around the walls and ceiling while heightening my sense of hearing.
When we reach the treatment sector our steps freeze
At the end of the passage the iron fan which should be constantly breaking down large materials is completely broken, only one blade on it remains attached while the others lay on the ground in pieces. We walk towards the fan while looking around. Guts, organs, flesh and bones lay scattered around the place, there was no attempt to eat them, it was clear that these people were ripped to shreds for another reason.
When we look inside the treatment plant a feeling of disgust overwhelms me. The water filter is clogged with flesh and bones, the entire treated water tank is dyed red, filled with rotting body parts floating at the surface of the tank. However the most grotesque part is all the limbs and organs littering the floor and the pools of blood and other bodily fluids which turn the shredded flesh into puddles of foaming liquid matter.There are no flies around, however large maggots the size of thumbs crawl around the place, and dig around the piles of flesh. it probably took around three thousand corpses to make a mess like this.

(Bernabe) “..is that...is that....our target” bernabe stutters as he looks up
A two meter stature, and a thin physique with compacted steel like muscles which are so defined they look like carved stone. It’s hands sink into the concrete ceiling as its legs bend in a ninety degree angle and walk upon it. Four long scorpion tail like tendrils stick out its back, the stinger on them are also inserted in the ceiling.
It’s hands pull out the concrete ceiling and its legs bend back to position, its glowing red eyes glance at us for a second, however its attention shifts onto the Quinque on Xavier's hands.
“I...Will KILL YOU ALL!!!”
The veins on its head pop out in anger as it howls a scream filled with rage.
(Julius) “Holy Shit… IF we survive… i’ll treat you guys out”
(jaeson) “.....”
The creature kicks against the ceiling pulling out its tendrils as it quickly launches itself at xavier, the ceiling cracks from its kick showing its powerful leg strength.
“Hyaaa”
Xavier swiftly reacts swinging the blade to block the tendril heading at him. Bernabe runs forward and pushes the falling creature away, however he receives a kick instead, sending him flying towards a wall.
*BAM* His body slams against the wall as blood oozes from his mouth.
(Jaeson) “Shit, Julius help Bernabe, Hurry!”
The creature quickly recovers its balance and sends one of his tendrils at me and three at Xavier, I try to block it with my shotgun, however it quickly breaks in half like a stick, I rapidly move to the side but the tendril still manages to graze my shoulder, the stinger hits my humerus breaking it into two.
“AGHHH!! You Piece of Shit!” the creature nears me as he prepares to launch a punch forward.
“Tch… Julius.. Pal, your incharge now.. How degrading for the leader to die first”
While I dodge the fist I harden my resolve. I plunge myself at his main body, the other three tendrils are fighting Xavier while the other is extending towards me. Just as the tendril pierces through me.
“GET BACK”
Xavier who was playfully sparring against the tendrils looks at me and a serious expression appears on his face as he runs backwards while clashing his blade against the armoured scorpion-tail tendrils.
*Booom* My last attempt when faced with death.
Flesh flies all over the explosion area.
A damaged body still stands… three tendrils still intact on its body.
“Gyaaaa” The creature screeches
“Kukukuku, will..not die”
The wounds on the creature start healing at a visible speed in its hands is a piece of flesh.
(Xavier) “YOU!”
Before he said anything the three intact tendrils once again headed towards him
He ran towards the creature while hitting away the tendrils, and lowered the blade as he plunged forward, swinging the blade the tip pierces towards its heart, however a tendril swung towards the left and sent him flying to the side.
Standing tall the creature walks towards Xavier, its three tendrils surrounding Xavier's body.
“Kukuku”
*Pow* *Pow* *Pow*
A Pile Flesh on the creatures back is shredded off its body.
Two cylinders roll on the ground towards a blood puddle.
(Julius) “you bastard, forgetting about me”
The creature falls lifelessly on the ground as julius nears it.
(Julius)“...Bernabe died..too, his broken ribs perforated his lungs.”
“All for this stupid sample....not worth it”
He grabs a sharp knife from his side and bends down, grabbing the creature's left hand.
*puchi*
Two tendrils sunk into his back, and pierced out of his abdomen.

The damn thing was not dead.
Xavier looked in disbelief, how could a humanoid creature have so much vitality.
His breaths were rapidly slowing as his heat signature lessened.
“Damn...this is going to make my record look bad”
“Ha..hahahah”
“So this is where I die”
“Dammit, and i thought this was the chance to get myself a harem, like in the novels.”
If only I had more grenades...
The creature slowly stood up. Xavier saw its blurry dark figure slowly walk towards him as the feeling of death got heavier and heavier over him, until it felt so suffocating he might even belief a pile of stones was placed on his back.
However right before his death, he got to see a different scene.
“GYAAAAA!!!!!”
“You stupid Ghoul, I will devour you!”
A gray blur ripped apart the creature
Xavier took his final breath.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MY anger reached its peak, my instincts told me there was something distasteful over there, and that no matter what it had to die. That whatever was over there was an offence to all undead kind. A being that’s both an undead and a living organism is blasphemy towards the undead. However worst of all, this creature was created using DNA from the zombie virus itself. I MUST KILL IT. Even at the cost of my life, I must kill it, every instinct in my body screamed in rage.
Ghouls. Ghouls. Ghouls.
Devour all Ghouls.
This thought was transmitted to my mind over and over again.
The wall I was hiding in cracked open,as I walked out my legs and waist compressed as I took a huge leap towards the Treatment station.
“Gyaaaaa!!!”
I gave my battle cry as the ghoul came into vision. He was slowly getting up from the ground, a Scorpion like tendril was inserted onto a guy on the ground, other bodies lay around. They were the bodies of the soldiers i was stalking. Its clear its severely injured, even one of its tendrils was ripped off.
Upon entering the room the smell of blood made my body enter a frenzy as energy ran rampant in my body. My leg muscles compressed downward to the point in which the bones in my legs fractured, my waist did the same and my internal organs were crushed. For a split second all my energy was focused on making this leap. The ground shattered, and I sprang forth at an incredible speed. For a second a mini sonic boom formed as my body temporarily broke the speed of sound. The bones in my hands locked into a claw as I headed towards the injured ghoul. My fingers dug into its muscles like a hot knife, I used the last of my strength to pull my hands apart. The Ghouls body was ripped into two as I continued flying towards Wall wall.
*Splat* *Crack*
As I crashed into the wall, most of my bones fractured. My skin was burning red from the air friction.
“Uagghh”
“You stupid Ghoul, I will devour you!” I angrily shouted
Luckily I severely lacked a sense of pain, however the hunger I feel is unbearable...must eat.
I looked around the room and realized something. This place is an all you can eat buffet! I slowly crawled to a nearby pile of flesh and started devouring. I devour and devour, reaching no limit, my body starts to quickly regenerate itself. I eat till my stomach literally ruptures, however it feels right.
Ten hours later…
Im now a Large Pile of flesh, a giant bloated zombie fatter than a truck, my stomach compressed around a thousand corpses into my body. I'm still hungry though, my vision shifts towards two halfs, slowly small vessels extended from their innards, slowly trying to connect with each other.
“Wow, it's still not dead”
Now that i think of it… it looks delicious, maybe it's okay to eat ghoul.
I roll my large truck like body towards the ghoul and start devouring it…including its tendrils. While looking around I also noticed a glowing red blade….it looks delicious.
While the non-metal part of the weapon I noticed a pair of broken gloves….
“Damn it!!!”
Suddenly a sharp pain shot through my body.

In the Treatment plant the large truck sized pile of flesh you call me suddenly started changing.
The large bloated head melted away and sunk into the balloon like body. The Skin layer on the balloon like body hardened and became as hard as stone, turning the large body into a fat filled egg/cocoon.
The egg/cocoon started spinning rapidly as the ground cracked, soon it started drilling into the ground.
Four hours later it was fully underground, a fatty liquid spilled from above and hardened into a material harder than stone, covering the fat balloon.
I wonder what will “hatch” three months later.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sector 1 - A group of large and tall zombies bulging with muscles were lying on the streets, their bodies were frozen into statues. Several destroyed tanks and Armoured vehicles were visible in the background.
A tall woman with blue hair wearing a blue dress was casually walking around, everywhere she stepped formed a blue layer of ice.
