Priest of Death - Part 18

"What the fuck?!" yells Milan seeing the two zombies from Calls F approaching them on slow speed, and roaring.

"How are we going to defeat them?!" asks Dragan seeing the creatures who are almost two meters and fifty centimetres in height, muscles all over their bodies, especially on the left arm who were mostly used to throw the car to their friend.

Dragan quickly loads the last grenade from the military truck into the launcher. He aims to the thing head and quickly pulls the trigger of the weapon. The grenade flies from there on a high speed, hitting the head of the creature in about four seconds. The explosion was strong enough to send the creature flying a few feet away from the other thing. Upon landing in a car, and smashing upon impact, the creature head wasn't there anymore. It has successfully been blowned away by a single grenade.

"You did it!" say Milan happily, he sees the other class F zombie approaching. "Now kill this one!"

"I ran out." says Dragan to Milan, who is looking shocked at him.

"What?" yells Milan in disbelief.

The class F zombie roars, and he is grabbing a car near him. The two people, seeing the creature grabbing the vehicle, they immediately run from this area, to a nearby opened building, who was probably used as a store to sell antiques taking the fact it has antiques on the window who haven't been touched by a human or a zombie in a while. Inside of this place, the two people are looking at the car who is flying on the air, it hits the wall of the building that was also hit earlier by another car. This hit was strong enough to make this building collapse. It collapsed because it was on the verge of collapsing because of the explosions it was happened when this place was overrun by zombies due to jet fighters.

Milan and Dragan being afraid this place may come next to falling, they run from there, on the backside of the building, where it was wide opened and there was a zombie who was coming after them. Milan kills the thing by shooting three bullets with his machine gun. After this, they run from toward another military truck who has crashed in another truck. Signs show it has crushed a while ago, probably before this abandoned city was made an outpost on this world.

Dragan checks the military truck, and luckily, he did find a weapon. But the unfortunate case was that the weapon Dragan has taken into his possession now it is a handgun. He looks on its magazine for a moment, and finds there are only seven bullets left. Dragan looks on the truck in a hurry to see if he can find another useful thing. He did find one lucky thing, on a body of a soldier zombie, a pipe bomb. Dragan, as he was approaching the body close enough, he observed the body started twitching, and by impulse, he aimed its pistol to the head of the creature, pulled the trigger and shoots the bullet through the head of it. After the creature has died, Dragan takes the pipe bomb and leaves the truck.

"Found something." says Dragan showing Milan the pipe bomb.

"What is this?" asks Milan curios by this.

"This is supposed to be a pipe bomb." says Dragan. "I know this weapon from a video game I played in my childhood. If it works like in that game we should be happy."

From the building they've just left earlier, the same zombie from Class F is leaving the place, and he screams to Milan and Dragan, who are at a distance of twenty feet from him. As they saw the creature, Milan immediately starts shooting its machine gun to the creature, while Dragan he is turning on the pipe bomb and throws it toward the thing.

As pipe bomb was flying toward the creature, a "beep" sound was coming out of the device. The sound was strong enough to make a few zombies who were after the two survivors turn their heads to the source of the beeping and follow it. The two survivors have seen about twenty zombies turning around, walking or running toward the source of the noise.

"It-It's working." says Dragan amazed by this.

"Now what?" asks Milan to Dragan.

Then, when the pipe bomb was at the feet of zombie from Class F, the bomb has exploded. This explosion was strong enough to kill the creature legs and other body limbs, and also send flying a few zombies in the air.

But, when the smoke from explosion has been cleared enough, the two survivors sees the thing from Class F was still alive even though it was incapacitated and couldn't do anything. There were some other zombies, who were also incapacitate by this explosion, but some were crawling toward the survivors rather than staying still and ding those annoying zombie noises as they were looking with their dead eyes at the two people.

"It worked." says Dragan sounding glad.

"Nice." says Milan happy to see the threat was neutralized this easily. He aims the machine gun to the remaining ten zombies, he starts blasting the machine gun to the creatures who are falling down, one by one.

After all the things have been killed, Dragan and Milan, seeing there aren't any threat coming to them, they decide to take a breather, lay near the military truck near them, and look tired at the zombies they've killed.

"We made it." says Milan breathing heavily. "We made it, dude. We are sa-"

Then, a zombie under the military truck, who was crawling in there, he jumps on the left arm of Milan, and he bite on it. When Milan was bitten, he jumps from that place, and he shoots the thing under the military truck with the machine gun. He shoots all the seventeen bullets remaining into the creature. Dragan has also raised from there, and looks terrified at the creature who was hiding in there, and attacked them.

"No…" says Milan terrified as he sees the bite mark let by the thing, and the blood coming down from its hand. "No… No… No… No…"

"Milan?" asks Dragan worried about his friend, he sees the bite mark, and starts to feel scared about this. "Are you okay?"

"Dragan." says Milan after a few moments of silence on looking on his hand, he sounds depressed. "Please…" he holds his tears. "Do it."

Dragan, scared to do the ultimate gesture, he aims the pistol he has found in the military truck, he aims at the head of Milan. He holds the pistol on the same position for a while because he could not do it. He has to do it, but he could not make himself do it. Milan however, he closes its eyes, let his tears flow from its eyes, and accepts the reality that he has to be killed.

Dragan remained hesitant because he could not make himself to do the unthinkable. Dragan knows this is the right thing to help its friend not transform into one of those creatures who are now inhibiting the world and are causing the human population to go extinct.

"I can't do it." says Dragan moving its pistol from the target, going a few steps back and crying. "I cannot do it man."

"Give me the gun." says Milan to Dragan. He raises his hand to Milan. "Please. Let me do it if you can't."

Dragan, being hesitant at first, but seeing how Milan insisted on this, he gives the gun to Milan, who is aiming it to its head like a kid who is doing the gun symbol from its hand to the head. Before he was about to pull the trigger to its own head, with tears on his eyes, he tells Dragan.

"Good luck, my friend! Please make it further than us."

"I-I-I will." says Dragan sobbing, and seeing his own friend who is closing his eyes. "Goodbye friend."

"Goodbye." says Milan sobbing.

And when Milan has pulled the trigger of the handgun. By some cases, the gun did not work. He looks shock on it, then he continues to pull the trigger two times, but the handgun still did not work. Then, he checks the clip of the gun, and observes there are bullets, but the gun itself, it is damaged. He is looking scared at Dragan.

"Dude…" says Dragan shocked by this revelation that the handgun he was founding it is malfunctioned.

As they were looking at the gun, they did not notice, someone steps out from the antiques store, holding a cross all in zombie blood and a bible in the other hand. The Death Priest is here, and he is looking saddened by these two warriors who were looking terrified at him.
