Blood of the Swarm (1)

The eyes of A5 remained open, tears flowing from them even though he was no longer amongst the living. Jin gently placed his palm on A5's face and closed his eyes for the last time. Then, he retrieved his handgun, stood up, and walked away from the lifeless body.

Jin's shotgun lay just before him. He grabbed it and held onto it as he walked towards Black, who was struggling to maintain consciousness on the ground.

"Still alive?" Jin asked, his voice laced with exhaustion. Both of them were barely able to move.

"You could say that..." Black chuckled, only to cough up a mouthful of blood.

"Stop talking… wanna come with me and get the Sequence 4 serums?" Asked Jin, only to make Black chuckle again in disbelief, making him cough up again.

Black chuckled in disbelief, which made him cough again. "Not like I can do anything else. Let's do it," he answered, trying his best not to laugh again to avoid another painful, bloody spasm.
