Sparrow knew that he didn’t need them to be as vigilant as he was, especially since neither could engage in battle at the moment. Rose was injured, her breathing growing ragged as the virus began to infiltrate her brain through her bloodstream. Sparrow was determined to resolve the situation before Rose succumbed to the virus and turned into a zombie. freewёbnoνel.com
He couldn’t afford to divert his attention from the front, as any lapse in focus could lead to an immediate attack.
He reasoned that Rose could wait for the moment, as he and the other guy were now immune to the zombie virus after awakening their ability. Unless they faced an attack so fatal that it would cause instant death, they were confident in their survival. After all, they had been provided with vials of blue and black liquid for situations of serious danger.
With Rose having been bitten, Sparrow’s approach shifted. Unlike before, when he was worried about being attacked from all sides due to Rose still being a normal human, he now felt more confident. He and the other guy had already awakened their abilities, giving them an edge and making them more prepared for the situation.
Given that Rose had been bitten, it was nearly certain she would turn into a zombie. The only variables were how effectively she could fight off the virus or how resilient her immune system was. The longer she resisted, the more time Sparrow would have to deal with the evolved zombie.
However, the moment she fully turned, Sparrow wouldn’t hesitate; he would immediately drive his dagger into her brain without a second thought.
Though it felt harsh to admit, Sparrow found a sense of freedom now that Rose was out of the picture. With her removed from the equation, he could focus on clearing the room of obstacles that the evolved zombie might use to hide or launch an ambush.
By removing these obstructions, he would gain a clearer view of the room and be able to spot any subtle movements. With his Talent ’Scouting’, Gift ’Hawk Eyesight’, and skill ’Perception’, he was well-equipped to detect even the slightest ripple of movement.
With the combination of his Talent ’Scouting,’ Gift ’Hawk Eyesight,’ and skill ’Perception,’ Sparrow could detect any movement within the room with remarkable precision. He could zoom in on even the slightest changes, such as dust rising under someone’s feet during a quick maneuver.
Regardless of how fast a creature moved, Sparrow could pick up on subtle signs of their motion. His skill ’Perception’ allowed him to slow down time in his mind, enabling him to calculate and anticipate the enemy’s next move, even if he couldn’t read their muscle movements directly. This heightened awareness gave him the edge to attack or deflect based on his predictions.
Now that Sparrow had committed to fighting the evolved zombie head-on, his resolve to execute his plan flawlessly intensified. He guarded the ’STAU’ with utmost vigilance, not only because it was invaluable to Kisha, but also because it was essential to the success of his own strategy.
However, with the way things were progressing, it would take some time before he could store all the items in his space. Sparrow felt his eyebrow twitch in frustration—not only did he have to remain in a hyper-aware state that was mentally exhausting, but he also had to protect them from the constant sneak attacks.
Since it was clear they’d be delayed, Sparrow signaled to Rose to inform the others outside. Rose quickly complied, despite her labored breathing and the profuse sweating. She was still lucid enough to carry out the task, but could feel her body gradually weakening as the virus took its toll.
Determined to help while she still could, Rose pressed the button on the walkie-talkie. "Anyone hearing this, over?"
A long, crackling static followed, filling the room with an eerie, nerve-wracking tension that seemed to amplify the sense of dread hanging in the air.
Grzzzz.
