QT: Against My Will (Volume 1)

3.41 - Reading From Bing Shi's Script - Downfall of Humanity

The air above the city D was stagnant, and Ziek couldn't be more pleased. This was perfect weather for sniping. He took in the scene below, a quiet road teeming with aimless zombies. With a mischievous glint in his eye, he lobbed a firecracker into the heart of the undead crowd and then shot upwards into the sky, gaining altitude to survey his handiwork.

BAM

BAM

BAM

The zombies were startled, confused, and angry. They stumbled and lurched, drawn to the source of the disturbance as if pulled by invisible strings. They emerged from alleys, broke through windows, and raced toward the epicenter of the noise.

Among them, a distinct figure caught Ziek's attention – a zombie who seemed to have once been a policeman. Clad in battered riot armor, it moved with an uncanny speed that set it apart from the stumbling horde. Other zombies seemed to give it a wide berth, a clear indicator of its threat.

"Found a damn sprinter," Ziek's voice crackled over the communicator.

Locking onto his target's clothing, he acted swiftly. Before the nimble zombie could react, a high-caliber bullet pierced through its helmet, felling it with precision.

All the zombies looked up in the sky in confusion.

BAM

More explosions erupted in the distance, drawing the attention of the zombies like a siren's call, entirely ignoring the man who appeared behind them.

Ziek held a tenth green nucleus in his hand, his satisfaction evident in his grin, "Westminster Street clear."

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

His team didn't even get one yet, and this officer was taking them down like cherries!

Hiding in one of the rooftops, a soldier spoke as he tried to snipe down a zombie, "Found one with wind powers. It created a freakin' windshield to bounce my bullets off." He swiftly reached for a flare pistol, sending a vivid red signal shooting into the sky, broadcasting his location.

A chopper flew above a rooftop where the red signal appeared; it didn't forget to lure a horde of zombies on its way with its noise.

The first one who appeared was Kuro, followed by three air users and one fire user. Ban, together with two water and two earth, used ropes to climb down.

A voice of inquiry emerged from Fu Lian's lips, her eyes fixed on the scene below. "Are we not landing?"

Wan Ke extended his hand toward her, a sardonic grin tugging at his lips. "Spot any helipads around here? If not, grab my hand."

Fu Lian frowned in disgust. She positioned herself at the entrance's edge, gripping the rope with every intention of rappelling down independently.

Seeing her intent, Wan Ke acted quickly, clutching her shoulder and whisking her onto the rooftop. "Are you begging for a death wish? Rappelling isn't a game for the inexperienced!"

Fu Lian retaliated, her rifle pointed squarely at his head. "Who said I'm inexperienced?"

Wan Ke raised his hands and made a distance, "C-calm down, I didn't mean to belittle you."

Ren Han appeared in time to see the commotion, "What happened?" He glanced at the departing helicopter and directed the question at Ban as he dismantled Fu Lian's rifle right before everyone's eyes.
