It was hard for Cody to get a sense of where he was even and what was happening around him. He had been beaten up so badly, that his vision was blurry, both of his eyes were swollen, and his whole body was aching. His condition was so severe that if the two guys dragging him across the street were to let go, he wasn't sure if he could even move a finger, much less stand up from the ground.
'What are these guys even planning to do with me? Why didn't they just kill me back there.' This was the biggest worry that Cody had in his head, and he just couldn't understand what the Cobra gang was attempting to do.
Earlier, when seeing their nefarious actions, Cody couldn't help himself but try to give him a chance for Kelly to escape. He himself was quite skilled, and he was aware of his strengths. In fact, from a young age, he was able to move faster than others making it difficult even for bigger kids at his school to mess with him.
It turned out that his ugliness and quickness were also an advantage in the current situation. Yet he still lost against this group, and it was all because of a person, in particular, the one who Cody had heard them call Cobra, the leader of the gang. The gap between him and the latter was so much that he could barely hold his ground against him.
"Pay attention, you two. Clear the area, and don't make too any noise." Cobra ordered.
Although the streets were relatively quiet, they weren't completely clear or void of zombies, and as the scent of the group wafted into their noses, those that were close by had proceeded to stop dragging their feet.
Around four zombies had caught the group's attention and began running toward them at different intervals. However, as soon as one got close, the men at the front swung their heavy weapons, hitting them cleanly on the head.
A crack was heard, and with a single hit, they were able to kill the zombie as it collapsed on the ground with a thud. Unfortunately, the man on the right wasn't so fortunate. Three Zombies had come his way, and just like the other guy, he swung his crowbar, hitting the zombie right in the head, killing it in a single blow.
As another of the Zombies went toward him, he swung his weapon again, giving out a wide swing. It had hit cleanly on the head, but the endpoint that curled ended up getting wedged into the head. The third zombie would be on him at any second, and there was nothing he could do.
The zombie's arms reached out, and its mouth opened wide to gobble him up when suddenly, a blade was stuck right into the Zombies mouth, killing it in a single hit. Now staring at the back of a man's neck, all one could see was the man with a tattoo of a snake running up his neck.
"I told you to be careful. I can't have more of you guys dying on me because of your stupid brains." Cobra shouted as he pulled the large knife out. It was black in colour and around 8 inches long.
It was a strange knife, to say the least, but it was due to it being custom-made. Once again though, the others had seen Cobra come right from the back, straight to the front to save them. This was part of the reason why they continued to follow him. Their leader was very powerful and swift.
Eventually, exiting the main area of Chinatown, a little behind all the shops, they had reached what looked like a large metallic warehouse. It was a shared space where shipments and packages would come in for all the shops from all over. However, Cobra had turned it into something else completely.
There was a large chain covering the front of the door, to stop anyone from trespassing, and of course only Cobra had the key. He soon unlocked it to allow the chains to fall to the floor. Entering inside the place, there looked to be a pair of crates and equipment that were pushed to the side, and also a few shipping crates at the back that had been tied up as well.
At the same time, Pink and Fingers were now on the outside of the warehouse. Standing just by the door, they were peeking in. It was a large warehouse that was quite deep, so the distance from the door and where the group were was great enough for them to be able to run if they did get caught.
Throwing a rope up to one of the metal beams, one of the men tied it around Cody's body. They soon tied up his arms and legs but left his mouth free .
Pulling the rope up and cutting it at the right point, now Cody was left hanging in the air.
"I can't believe it." Cobra said. "You caused all of this fuss over just one girl. Do you know even in the real world, women are attacked everyday? And now the whole world has changed and only the one who is strongest will rule.
"And those that are strongest, that provide protection and comfort for those around them, should be rewarded. The people below them should be lucky they are even alive in this world. So why can't I get a bit of pussy, for me risking my life to protect them, that's fair, right?
"But I understand your actions as well. A teenager like you, is probably quite the horny dog. You probably thought, hey, if I protect this woman, and show her how much of a white knight I am, then maybe she'll suck me off? Don't worry, we're all the same, so I understand and I like that you were brave enough to try to fight us, which is why I'm giving you a chance."
While Cobra was talking, two men had gone to gather bolt cutters, and then they ran up to the containers that were at the back of the room and chained up, and proceeded to cut them. Quickly they returned, and as soon as the container doors opened, zombies started to come out, crawling from the place.
There were hundreds of Zombies, around fifty or so bunched up in the two containers, however they were incredibly slow, some dragging themselves across the floor. This was because they had been severely injured.
Their legs, spine, arms and more were broken, to make them practically useless.
"This is your fighting chance, survive this if you can." Cobra said with a smile, but when turning around, he could see another female standing in front of him, in front of the entrance of the warehouse.
"You..You…" Pink was struggling to find the words. "What did you do to Jasmine?"
