All Chapters of Apocalypse Battle: Fight or Die!: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The heavy snarls of the zombies blended perfectly with the black rain currently holding us in here. "That door isn't going to hold for long," Jason muttered, his eyes fixed on the glass door of the shopping mall we were currently hiding in. "They'll find us if we run too." "Not if we leave something for them to keep busy with." Maya's broken, terrified voice came through the sounds. "What are you guys saying? It doesn't even matter if we get out, because the black rain is still there. The radiation from that alone will kill us before the zombies do," I pointed out, gesturing toward the broken window where droplets of rain seeped in. "So what? We just stay here and die? You can do that if you want to, but Maya and I want to live." I sucked in a breath, glancing between them. Maya stood behind him, trembling while holding onto his bicep tightly. The sight felt like a hand squeezing my throat. Still, I forced myself to ignore it. Maya and Jason were close, even with him being my b

Jeremy jumped out of the window, pulling me out just as the horde barged into the shopping mall, snarling as their noses finally caught our scents."The black rain!" I called, just then noticing it had stopped."You were out for a while, princess. Just don't touch anything wet or step into any puddles, and we'll be fine," Jeremy called back, panting heavily. "Right now, acid rain is the least of our problems."We kept running down the street while some zombies spotted us and followed.[Hostiles approaching! Hostiles approaching! Take cover or fight.]His fingers flexed around the hilt of his knife, clearly ready to pick a fight he wouldn't win."Don't be a fool. Look back." I turned my head to stare at the horde of zombies approaching. "There are too many."In that moment, a zombie flew out of the window, landing right on his back.My fingers tightened around the knife, lashing forward before sinking it into the neck of the already rotting zombie.Jeremy didn't so much as grunt before

Jeremy's eyes widened when the system repeated the number. "How are we going to get out?" I scoffed, rolling my eyes before letting my mind race for a solution. Eventually, there seemed to be only one. And it was almost as risky and stupid as barging out to fight almost two hundred zombies. "We can charge out." His head snapped to face me from his place next to the window. "What?" "We charge out while pushing the door, creating a path in between for us to run through with it. They're level Cs, so they can't be that smart." "Have you lost your mind?" The sound of his voice carried, riling the zombies outside even more. "What's the difference between that and just fighting them?" "The difference is that we live, and we don't stick around for a fight." I rushed to the kitchen. He followed right after me. "You can't actually be considering this. How will you even take the door off?" My fingers yanked the drawer open a bit too aggressively. There were four in total, and after car

My head tilted back to the car surrounded by zombies. "Could there be people in there?""In this wasteland, where else would the system want us to search?" Jeremy glanced back too.The car slowly came to a halt, and my fingers tightened around the wheel on instinct."Why would we need to recruit anyone anyway?" I asked, groaning. "You think they're also zombie hybrids like us?""Probably. Why else would the system want us to recruit them?""Let's just go back and check. I don't have time for this," I said, switching the gear to reverse."Where are you in such a hurry to get to? Last I heard, the world kind of shut down when it got destroyed."I wasn't ready to explain to him what my intentions were. I certainly wasn't about to tell him my plan to haul my ass all the way to the stronghold in Manhattan where the survivors were said to be.My reason for going there wasn't for the cheap illusion of safety, no.Jason and Maya were heading there. And I couldn't help but feel curious about w

His body twitched way more than once before finally, slowly, getting off the ground, growling lowly.His wife screamed.It took me a second too long to realise they weren't just screams and were actual words."Emily! Go, go right now!"Her body thrashed, fighting against Jeremy's grip on her.The question of who Emily was didn't fully leave my mouth before the Honda zoomed off, fast. Too fast to be caught, even with our abilities."There were three of them, dammit," Jeremy growled, dumping the woman onto the floor.Her body slumped before she crawled back, eyes wide and fixed on her husband. Or more accurately, his corpse.The man rose to stand, his eyes bloodshot, red streams of blood flowing out of every hole in his head.He lunged for me, and my fingers flexed around my knife, but Jeremy caught him mid-blow, sending the zombie flying to the side.It snarled, standing to its full height again.I heard footsteps behind me, turning just in time to see the woman snatch my blade from my
