Soft, fast, padded footsteps sounded out in the open, a blurred figure moving through the trees. Jongin was running. He had to thank the weather for finally transitioning to spring - Mobility was a lot easier without worrying about slippery ice or far too deep snow. Most of the ground could finally be seen and the days of frostbite were gone.
However, with the beauty of flowers blooming, there was a price to pay. While people could move a lot faster, the undead were just the same.
Which brought him back to his current situation. He wasn’t running because he was late, no. The concept of time had been lost a lot time ago. And he wasn’t running because he just felt like it either. The brunette had a hoard of walkers right on his heels, and he doesn’t think he’s been more unlucky in his entire life. Deciding to venture out into west end of the free zone proved to be one of his worst decisions ever, and it’ll probably be a long time before he has a hunger for adventure.
Jongin was starting to run out of breath, and there was no way he could take about a dozen zombies out at once. He needed to find some kind of higher ground, but they were closing in on him faster than he had ever imagined. Scraping past with a few close calls of them getting to his legs, the boy hurriedly climbed one of the larger, sturdier trees, making sure he was out of their reach for the time being. And he was stumped. He didn’t have his bow and arrow with him, and his only chance of defending himself was with a puny pistol that had 4 shots left. Does he shout for help? Or shoot gunfire to grab people’s attention?
Does he really want to risk attracting another hoard of walkers in his direction?
