3 Bad Tinder Date!

Riot.

Panic.

Mass Hysteria!

Cars colliding with each other, some crashed into the nearby buildings and shops.

Police officers tried to calm the situation down, but it was useless. In fact, a few of them got bitten and turned into bloodthirsty man-eating zombies!

"NADIA! NADIAAA!! WHERE ARE YOU!!!"

"MUMMY!!! DADDY!! SAVE ME!! SAVE MEEE!!"

"SIR, PLEASE!! HAVE YOU SEEN ME DAUGHTER??!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!"

Fathers lost their wives and children. Wives lost their husbands and parents. Brothers lost their sisters in the midst of the confusion. Only two outcomes when this thing happens: still alive, or turned into an undead!

Zack and Chai crossed through between the residential areas. Their next destination: a private firearms store called Premier Firearms, just two blocks away.

"Google Maps says that if we use the normal roads, it'll take us 10 minutes. But I doubt it's going to be that easy..but if we use the walking options, it'll cut through the roads, straight onto the housing areas!" (Chai)

While driving, Zack had a deep thought while focusing his enhanced sight on the roads.

"Chai, I saw you busting out some crazy-*ss fighting moves man. When did you learn how to fight?"

"Bruh, all this while since college, have you seen me go to a dojo or a gym? I tell you, it must be because of my skill!"

Suddenly it clicked to Zack.

(Don't tell me..that system thingy in our heads were real? Is this the legendary cheat abilities humans get during the apocalypse?)

"Chai, what's your skill called again?" (Zack)

"Kame School Martial Arts." (Chai)

"No way..isn't that the kung fu from Dragon Ball? From that guy...whats his name..ah! Master Roshi!!" (Zack)

"Holy f***! Does that mean I'm G-"

Zack stepped on brakes on a sudden! The abundant foods looted from Family Mart earlier strewn about in the back seats.

"Dafuq bro! Whats up?! Why the sudden brake?!"

Zack pointed at a couple of shadowy figures up ahead.

"There's a lady being chased by a zombie up ahead. What do we do, Chai?"

Chai frowned. Normally in an apocalypse, it's every men for themselves. Saving a stranger? Sure, that might be morally-obliged during peace time, but on doomsday? That would spell out death!

"I'm right behind you man. But honestly, in our current state, we're not strong enough to battle out by ourselves." (Chai)

"You're right…" (Zack)

________________________________________________

Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff!

What seems to be a woman in her early 20s, sprinting with all her might escaping from the zombie chasing her. Sweat profusely scattered across her beautiful face and streaked down her long, fair-skinned neck.

The zombie was also running, but it seemed to have a limp. A chunk of meat from its right heel is missing, possibly eaten by the zombie that infected it.

She regretted wearing heels on her first date tonight, and the one chasing her was her date that she met on Tinder.

She abandoned her heels halfway as it was inconvenient to run, but it came with a price of her smooth underfoot being scraped by the cold, harsh tar road.

UNNNGAHHHH!!

The zombie kept giving her chase, but not as fast as normal zombies. And as a lady who has an average woman's speed and stamina, she could still run ahead of the zombie but not that far apart.

Then her lungs reached the limit. She fell on all fours on the road, gasping for air. Her fate was sealed, as she is bound to become zombie food for the night.

(Why did I ever agree to go out tonight?!I should've stayed home and eaten ramen instead!!)

Melissa, a young 21 year old lady from an island called Penang, shed tears as regrets and helplessness struck her heart. She closed her eyes, hoping that the pain go away soon.

....

As Melissa waits for her impending doom, rolled up on the floor.

(Eh? Something is wrong)

She should've felt pain of being bitten by her zombie date by now. But even after half a minute, nothing happened to her.

Melissa slowly opened up her eyes, and got up onto a sitting position. Right there, she saw two youths battling a familiar figure.

"Whoa…" (Melissa)

The youth with a height of roughly 180 centimeters, lean-bodied wearing a brown jacket and blue jeans was confronting the zombie, dodging left and right from the undead's attacks.

Behind the zombie, the other youth who seemed to be wearing a bright orange T-shirt and grey pants was sneaking up on it.

After a few minutes of attacking, the zombie's attacks began to slow down. The orange shirt youth then saw the opportunity, and right at that few milliseconds that the zombie stopped attacking, he grabbed the zombie's head, a loud crack was heard.

SNAP!

The zombie fell down, lifeless.

Melissa was stunned, and stared at them. The youths brushed off some dusts from their palms and shirts, and walked to Melissa.

"Are you hurt?" (Zack)

The youth in the brown jacket sported a handsome facial feature, with masculine jawline, symmetrical facial feature, charming eyes, strong nose and chin with a hint of dimples. Melissa couldn't talk, as she just passed through a traumatic experience.

"Zack, we gotta move! Come on!" (Chai)

Melissa mumbled Zack's name, committing it to memory.

The other youth, with the orange tee, walked to her and abruptly carried her in a princess-style carry!

"God-da*nit lady! Get a hold of yourself!" (Chai)

She looked up to his face, and a juvenile, pretty boy face with a pair of sharp but intelligent eyes shone. Although this flower boy looks almost as pretty as a girl, his temperament was far from it.

"Th-th-th-thank you! Thank you for saving me! I was chased by my date, he got bitten and-" (Melissa)

"Yeah yeah we got the gist of it, woman. Now we gotta move! Sorry in advance!" (Chai)

Melissa blinked in confusion. Why did he apologised to her?

Suddenly, she was thrown inside a black SUV roughly!

(Oh my god! What a dic*! Can't he be gentle to a girl?! No wonder he apologised first!)

Melissa frowned and pouted, as she find her footing on the rear passenger seat filled with grocery items.

"How far more, Chai?" (Zack)

"500 meters more! Push it, bro!" (Chai)

Melissa's heart was unsettled. She knew that these two youths' name are Zack and Chai, but she doesn't know what their intention was. She just hopes that they won't hurt her afterwards.

But one thing is sure, that she will never use Tinder, again!
