Z APOCALYPSE

CHAPTER 11: Outsider

Baekhyun

"Baekhyun-hyung! Wake up! I think something is happening outside!" I heard Taehyung's panicked voice as he shook my shoulders on my bunker. I stood up groggily as I registered what did the kid had just said.

I mean can you believe it? It's like midnight and-

"What's with those torches?" I asked as I realized that the people are gathered in the open area of the sanctuary using torches to light up the dark surrounding. I immediately hooked my weapon on my shoulder. Putting my handgun on the inside of my right boots and a hiking knife on the left.

"Take this." I quickly handed Taehyung a gun that's fully loaded with bullets as we headed outside.

"What's happening here?" I asked from the male that was looking somewhat worried and scared. He just pointed towards the gate with his hands shaking.

What the fuck is happening?

"Baekhyun!" Luhan's voice came into clearance as he came towards us with Taehyung.

"Something happened." He announced. I can clearly see the fear etched on his face as he held his weapon tightly, preventing himself to shake.

"What happened?" I asked, still clueless as I moved closer to where everyone is panicking with.

It led me to the gates and when I took a glance at it, I never expected that I would witness a bloody horrifying scene as disturbing and nerve-wrenching as this.

It was like the first time I saw a zombie in my whole life that made my hair in my whole body straighten.

In front of me were the three gatekeepers. Hanged their necks to death and turned themselves into flesh eaters. It was like a thriller movie scene where the killer hangs his victim and watches them struggle to suck in a breath until they turn cold. Their eyes, mouth, and ears pulsated with blood, gushing down on their awfully bloodied chests as they chewed on their own tongue and lips. Their white smokey eyes glaring at us.

I knew them. I once talked to them before about asking permission to go hunting.

They were fucking nice people. Who did this?

And the creepy thing was that the corpses have a message with only three words that's been painted one on each of them with their own thick blood on their clothes that reads, "You are next."

"What the fuck happened to them?" I said, my tough voice cracked in uneasiness. Looking around only to find that they're as panicked as I imagined.

"Someone murdered them and hanged them there in the middle of the night. Sending a message to us." Luhan answered, his eyes never leaving the kicking zombies on the air.

"The thing was that the murderer may still be stalking inside. Living with us right now. Watching us." Luhan gritted his teeth as he looked at me with worried eyes.

"Taehyung, come here," I ordered as I kept him beside me.

"Stay together no matter what happens. I'm just gonna talk to Chanyeol." I instructed and started leaving. But before I could move a meter away from them, two loud gunshots reverberated the silent surroundings.
