To control the battle's flow

The fight started as a typical slugfest when both sides threw everything they had at the other party, hoping the combined power they could bring to the table would prove to be sufficient.

For zombies, it was their unusually high adaptability and numbers. Those two advantages alone, when coupled with the extreme strength and resilience of the high evolved zombies, were enough to corner Mathew.

On the other hand, Mathew's agility, experience, and weapon allowed him to bring down one of the high evolved zombies. And if the situation were to continue as it was, he would likely win by slowly accumulating the damage on the zombies.

Yet, the moment horde's mob entered the scene, Mathew suddenly found himself in a situation with no way out.

And what could one do in a perfectly helpless situation?

Give up?

No.
