We waited for the zombies to arrive in complete silence. There was such a heavy atmosphere in the clearing that it almost seemed like a struggle to breathe. I didn't bother to shoot my customary first shot as they were approaching us and not the other way around.
They were here to hunt, and like good prey, we needed to remain still and quiet until they made the first move. And like good prey, if we ran, we would be killed that much faster.
The first zombie stepped into the clearing, walking in a zigzag manner like a shark swimming. It always amazed me just how much of their actions and responses were based on their shark genetic markers.
I stood between Liu Wei and Wang Chao as Liu Yu Zeng and Chen Zi Han had taken the first offensive shift and were hanging out of a skylight, their guns trained on the single zombie. Stupid fools. That was not the zombie to fear.
