2 Nero

In a world where death is always beside you. Humanity still stand against the monsters created by Humanity itself.

Nero is the last city that stands on planet Earth. It  is a home for a few remaining survivors. Names has become useless and all remaining humans use the name Nero as their own name.

The city stands for about 3 years after the second break out happened. It was founded and fortified by the walkers who once wonder around the dangerous wastelands.

After all those battles against the Rulers and their armies. The weapons of mass destruction that humanity relied on has been destroyed and all the ammo has been used up.

Hence, humans learned to use various weapons such as melee weapons and other things that can be weaponize.

All humans including the old and young have carried a weapon for today because a walker scout have reported that 20 miles from here he saw an army of undead and mutants marching towards Nero.

A hundred thousands survivor has been gathering at the center of the city as their Leader will have a speech for the last time because this may be the last time they could live.

At the center of Nero...

People who wore armor and weapons have gathered. Old people and children have weapons on their hands.

At the center stage their stood a man who is about 26 years old. He is the leader and one of the founder of Nero. He is giving a speech before the last battle of humanity.

"Today is the end of Humanity. The end of a civilization that once live a prosperous life. At this very moment 20 miles from here there is an army of monsters marching towards our home. We shall do our greatest to protect our last bastion!"

"Brothers and Sisters we shall feast at the kingdom of Heaven along with our fallen comrades throughout the years!"

"If there is an after life I hope we could be brothers and sisters once again. If we were reborn we shall carry the name Nero as it marks our bond to this cursed world."

Awooo Awooo Awooo Awooo

NERO! NERO! NERO! NERO! NERO!

Roar of celebration could be heard from within the walls of Nero. All humans became soldiers and waited fiercely for the enemy to come. The marksmen who use long range weapons were stationed on towers beside the walls.

Self-made explosives were ready. Batches of arrows were ready. Sharp swords, daggers, pipe poles, iron shields, and spears were getting ready for their respected warrior to wield.

2 hours has passed...

It was 7 o'clock in the evening. The ground have small tremors and it could only mean one thing. They are near!

At the tower where the marksmen were stationed. 2 miles from here they saw a large amount of silhouette mixed inside the fog.

"They are here! I repeat the monster are here!" shouted by the archer.

Loud noises that came from different kind of things could be heard loud and clear. It is the signal to prepare for battle.

The gates were long been barricaded with heavy barriers such as large stones and logs large and strong enough to withstood the first monster wave.

The oils were ready on the walls. Torches were lit. The houses were oiled and ready to lit.

The soldiers were ready at the front of the gate. The tremors were getting stronger and stronger.

Finally, they heard the roars of the mutants and the groans of the undead. The laughs of the Rulers who were riding a giant mutant could be heard within the walls of Nero. They were a total of 5 rulers that joined the raid.

The Rulers signals to slow their march except for one.

One of the ruler who have 4 arms and 1 eye raise one of its arms that signals for his troops to march forward.

Its troops contained only of undead such as zombies and skeletons. They March forward without fear. Their groans and tickling sound of bones is loud enough to be heard from a mile away. Their numbers is not less than a two hundred thousand.
