The demon in the room had been defeated, killed on the spot from a punch delivered by Carl. Unfortunately, even with Zain's quick speed, which allowed him to run past everyone before the others could act, it was a little too slow.
The tentacle from the demon had already pierced right through Sarah. With his Titan sword, he slashed the parts going through her body from either end, so it wasn't connected to the main body, but didn't pull out the tentacle, for fear it would allow Sarah to bleed to death even quicker.
Carl seeing this, pulled out a laser pointer from his belt, he then ran to the balcony and started to shine it until Humfree was able to see the signal.
'I guess it's our time to leave.' Humfree said.
He started to retreat, and the Chained Zombie with its free hand slammed the chain onto the ground three times. It created a loud echoing bang. It was the signal for them to get out of there.
"Do you really think you can just leave, after coming to our home like this!" Buke said.
He started to move forward with zombies getting in his way, but he was able to bulldoze his way with his massive strength. He lifted zombies up with a single hand, and threw them off into the distance crashing into the other buildings.
"I have to go help Humfree!" Carl said. "I trust that you will all do what is needed to do."
Carl jumped down, pulling out two small daggers. He started to run straight towards Humfree, slashing the humans that were causing trouble on his way. Then hardening his body, he leapt up in the air, landing between the two.
"Humfree, get out of here, I'll hold him off!" Carl stated.
There was no need for Humfree to argue, as he quickly went ahead to leave the scene. In doing so, he could now use the Chained Zombie to help those behind him. They were struggling with the demons that were disguised as Zombie Hunters.
An arm reached out toward them, but the Chained Zombie wrapped its chains around its neck, and pulled the other end, causing the head to pop off. As it fell to the floor, part of the demon head could be seen ripping out from the skin of the human.
"We must focus on getting out of here, we have done our job." Humfree said.
It was a struggle for all of them, Carl was fearful of Buke's strength, and in his fight he decided to use his combat skills to avoid getting hit. He had hit Buke a few times to show him that he also had strength that the others had to be careful of, but none of the attacks were life threatening.
Thankfully, because of this, the Dark Zombies finally were able to escape, going back through the broken gate they had entered, but with almost a quarter of the numbers they had before.
"Keep going, we will head back to the helicopters and head to the base. Carl will meet us there!" Humfree shouted.
He was concerned because the losses they had suffered were far greater than he imagined. The group continued to run, and it looked like no one was following them as they turned and continued. They had eventually reached where they had left the helicopters but every single one of them stopped in their tracks.
"Hey… what do they think they're doing!" one of the zombies shouted out.
A group of around a hundred or so humans all in different forms of clothing were standing around the helicopters. Some in military uniform, some children, and others just looking like ordinary civilians. They weren't Zombie Hunters.
"There not human." Carl said. "It's an ambush, the demons, they planned it. They planned to get rid of us here and now. Everyone… this is our fight now, we must do our best to get rid of as many as possible!" Humfree screamed.
From the sides, and from the back, more humans were coming out, and it was a slaughter house, as all of the zombies fell one after the other. In the end, there was only one left, and it was the old man Humfree holding onto his cane.
"It looks like this is the end for you, the last resistance against us. We have been following you for a while, and we deemed you the biggest threat. It's thankful that you got rid of each other." The demon said.
"With you, and that other scientist gone, there will now be only the military and hunters to go against us, but who knows maybe they will take out each other as well."
Humfree smiled; he knew it was the end of his life, there was no escaping out of this situation, but he had lived a long life.
"If you think taking me out is the end, you are wrong. In times of need, you will be surprised at what we are capable of." Humfree's final words, as a tentacle was shot right through his head.

"I can save you!" Zain said, holding onto Sarah. "If I give you my blood or bite you, you would turn into a Zombie."
Blood was filling Sarah's mouth, making it hard for her to talk, but she shook her head.
"Please… I think I deserve this. There is no reason for me to live on. Everything I did was wrong. I don't wish to turn into a zombie."
Hearing this, Zain was debating whether he should just force turn her into a zombie. She had information, at least about the demons she had been meeting with, their numbers and more that they could use.
Which is why he was thinking about going against her wishes.
"Don't!" Sarah shook her head again. "In return for saving me, I'll tell you where the antidote is… to fix all of this, and I will leave it up to you Zain, to decide the future."
