Chapter 32: A new type

The group members reacted differently when they found Ben standing by the freezer door. Clark, Mark and Kelly ran toward the freezer to stop him from opening the door.

As for Skittle, he had pulled Buke away, and they ran in the opposite direction past the open area and toward where the aisles would start. Skittle had an intuition that was just telling him that whatever was in that freezer was terrible news, and at that moment, when something had pulled in Ben, it had confirmed his fear.

Shortly after, a group of zombies emerged out of the freezer. They were walking fairly slowly, but there were many of them. Kelly recognised that nearly all the corpses they had dragged in from the supermarket floor were now coming out, although parts of their body were frozen, making their movements awkward.

‘I thought they were all dead, and we decided to put them in the freezer just in case. How come they can still get up now.' Kelly thought.

"Give me that!" Clark shouted as he snatched the broom in Mark's hand and snapped it in half. "Their bodies are frozen, so they're slower than normal. So let's go, we can finish off these damned zombies."

Clark snapped the broom in half with his bare hands as he went forward and whacked the first one right across the head, causing its neck to twist and break. Then, he went towards the next one, thrusting the broom right through the zombie's mouth.

However, the zombie continued to move and tried to grab Clark with its hands, even with the broom right through its head.

"It's not dead…even though I hit it through the head?" Clark thought as he kicked the zombie off from the end of his broom, as more and more were coming towards him.

"Are you guys just going to stand there, or do you have some guts to help?!" Clark shouted at the others.

At that moment, the teenager threw one of his blades directly at the zombie's head, but once again, it took it like nothing as it continued to move forward. Now holding two knives in his hands like daggers, Cody was wondering what to do next.

Skittle and Buke were taking cover in one of the aisles, watching everything.

"What should we do? Should we help them get rid of those guys? Look for Zain? or just get out of here?" Buke whispered.

Honestly, he had the same idea as Clark. There weren't many zombies, and just around fifteen zombies had come out from the freezer. But due to their incredibly slow movements, he believed with his baseball bat, he could take them all out. After all, the supermarket was an excellent safe haven for them, at least that's what Buke thought.

"We can't leave without Zain, and once we press the shutters, it will attract the zombie's attention. As for fighting them…I'm not sure. Can't you tell these Zombies are different?

"Before, I thought that Zombies needed their brains to function. And based on the bodies we have seen so far, the ones without a brain wouldn't rise from the dead. But these guys, even if we attack the brain, they are moving around. In fact, some of them don't even have their brains intact."

Just then, the first one that Clark had hit had come up from the floor, and the group soon got tired as they realised that these Zombies weren't dying no matter how hard they hit them, be it on their head or somewhere else.

"What's that?" Skittle asked, pointing at one of the Zombies from behind.

Looking closely, Buke noticed what Skittle was talking about. It was a strange red substance that was stuck onto that zombie. It looked like a flat octopus that was pulsating. Then looking at all the other zombies, they found the other zombies had the same thing, just in different spots.

During the fight, Clark whacked one of the Zombie's legs, breaking them. However, the Zombie was still alive and began to crawl toward him across the floor.

"Buke, try attacking the strange red spot on their bodies…I think something is causing them to act like this." Skittle suggested.

The two moved at the end of the aisle and soon reached the open area in front of the freezer where the others were fighting the zombies.

Clark and the others were in a circle with their backs against each other as they fought the zombies. They were scared and worried but not in huge danger due to the slow movement of the half-frozen zombies.

When Skittle and Buke reached the zombie crawling on the ground, Buke lifted his bat and slammed it on the strange pulsating red thing on the Zombie. This one had it on the back of her hand.

As Buke whacked it, strange red fluid began to spew out of the marking, it was similar to a large boil being popped, but in the next instant, the Zombie had stopped moving.

"That's great! Now we know how to get rid of these guys. We can just beat all the zombies, get Zain and head on out of here." Buke said.

"I don't think it will be that easy." Skittle replied. "Something or someone must have put these weird markings on the zombies in the first place…."

He turned towards the freezer, and that was when Skittle noticed a strange green hand on the large door. It pulled itself out, revealing its entire body. It was the same size as the other zombies, only its entire skin was green in colour.

All over it were these strange red boils that could be seen on the other zombies. They were pulsating in size, but what was most sickening about this creature was its mouth. It resembled nothing like a human's as it had spread open wide like a blossomed flower, revealing hundreds of razor-sharp teeth with blood oozing from its mouth, dripping over its already drenched shirt.

"What is that?! Everyone, Get away!" Skittle shouted, noticing that the others were yet to see it. Buke and Skittle were still the furthest away from the freezer, with the others in between.

The creature's mouth became even wider, and it started vibrating all over. The boils on its body grew larger, slightly like a balloon, and as it swung its head, something had flown out of its mouth.

A bright red liquid flew through the air, landing directly on Clark, covering his upper body.

"What is this?" Clark was alarmed, and suddenly all of the Zombie's eyes were on him.
