Bloody retreat

"Retreat!" Leila shouted from the bottom of her lungs while tracking the invisible tread with the tip of her saber.

Her blade went straight through two elbows, one neck, and one wrist in a single swing before she had to take a step to the side and change the angle of the attack.

Leila's attack was quicker than how long it took Peter's first unit to shake off their daze and adapt to the new situation.

The situation, where instead of rounding up the remaining zombies, they were stuck in the middle of an open field with zombies all around them.

"RETREAT!" Leila shouted again, leaping to the side before kneeing another zombie that reached out for the throat of one of the soldiers.

'I made it,' the girl thought, breathing out before turning her head to scan the situation around.

She managed to save one of the soldiers. By the time Leila turned her head around, two others in the other part of the formation had their limbs caught in the firm grip of different zombies.
