138 Episode 22: Widow.

Dracula and Feng immediately responded.

Dracula saved Chuba from being scratched while Feng morphed his body into a shadowy cloud. Intertwining with the darkness of the night, he saved Arnold's life at the last moment. Arnold found himself inside absolute darkness. He didn't know whether he died, or managed to remain alive; For the last scene, he remembered was nearly crashing head-on with the ground.

The tires rubbed against the surface. Due to friction, a screeching sound was produced. And two long gashes were made on the ground by the tires which extended for some meters.

Joh had smashed the deceleration pedal, yet the black-truck were still gonna crash into Khan, and crush him into a bloody mess.

Khan's life flashed by his eyes as he saw the truck that was going to crash into him. The muscles had swelled to twice their size, his body had given up on him. He couldn't even feel his legs anymore. Evading the trucks seemed impossible.

Why did he throw himself in front of the black trucks?

Moreover, James was still in his hands.

In his last dish efforts, he hurled James to the sides. James was put out of the picture.

"Oh well, at least he will live. It's better than both of us dying. Damn, I guess this is my end?" Khan reflected on his action in the last few seconds of his life.

Now, it was only him and the massive black-truck.

The black-truck shadow loomed over him. A sigh escaped his mouth, as he found his vision covered in absolute darkness. James found himself in stillness. He felt as if his body was floating along with the clouds.

"I guess this is what the afterlife feels like? This feels created from the zombie-filled world. I should have died sooner," He muttered and closed his eyes to rest in peace.

"Oye, depression, can you stop muttering about dying. You are still alive and well. Furthermore, you would have ended up in. a place far worse than hell if you had died sooner." Feng said right after.

Khan heard a taunting voice of a man from the darkness in his surrounding.

Amused, he asked, "Are you a God?"

"I am not God, but you surely have ear impairment," Feng replied, as he hovered in mid-air, moving within the veil of the night.

"Eh?" Khan was unable to comprehend what was happening. One moment he was in front of the black truck, the second he was in this afterlife darkness. Now, something was babbling in his ears. 

Feng's shadow-morphed body surged ahead after grabbing James and pulling him into the world of shadows.

Khan rolled on the familiar Earthly ground, realizing that he was still somehow alive. So did Arnold. Dracula also came up to them, staring at the suspicious half-naked tall man, and the unconscious short-guy.

Joh came out of the black-truck. So did everyone else in the black-truck. 

"Who are you guys?" A calm voice resounded from the shadowy cloud. Khan and everyone turned towards it. Their faces held an expression that showed equal parts of amazement and horror.

"And why did you suddenly jumped in front of my black-truck!" Joh said from the side. His grayish mechanical face had taken on a red-clour. Basically, he was expressing his anger.

Right then, Feng's body changed form from a shadowy existence that shouted, I am sketchy, to a normal human being.

Looking at the man's face, Khan gulped his saliva, refreshing his dried throat. His eyes teared up in reminisce.

Hugging Feng's leg in front of everybody, he cried mournfully. "I thought that I will never see you again!" Khan said, his voice thick and raspy. 

Dracula and Arnold stood amazed. They suspiciously gazed at Feng. There stare stated, "Is this man a past lover. Why the hell is he crying like a widow?"

Feng replied to them through his harsh actions. He yanked his legs and broke free from the insidious hug. 

"Man, are you mistaken? I don't know you. Who are you?" He shouted at Khan. Never in his life, as he met a human taller than him. So who is this man crying like a widow?

P.S: Elder Bai isn't a human.

Before the conversation could continue, barely audible ghastly wails came from behind them.

"What's that?" Arnold turned towards the location of the sound. His rifle aiming at the bushes and tree.

"Unkillable Zombies," Khan responded.

Right then, tens of them came out from behind the trees. They attacked with their wails. This time the ghastly wails clearly resounded in the ears of everyone in the surrounding. Jody and Darci felt slightly dizzy. While the kids directly lost their consciousness after hearing the wails. They fell off, their bodies slumbering on the ground.

Khan had covered his ears by his hands, yet he was still slightly affected by the garish voice. While nothing happened to Feng and the robots.

Seeing the children dozing on the ground, Chandni who stood nearest to them, rushed to their aid. "What happened to them?" Arnold asked in worry and angry.

"It's the zombie's wails. They cause a person to enter a state of sleep. That's why my friend is still sleeping. Cover your ears with your hand or something and make a run for it." Khan instructed. He ran towards James to pick his body up.

Feng and Dracula did the exact opposite. They took a battle stance. Feng and Dracula were gonna blast these zombies. However before they could make a move, Arnold slew the zombie.

Ratatatatatatat. For the first time in a while, Arnold put his weaponry skills into use. Every shot of his rifle pierced the rotten heads of the undead. Some were shot twice, some thrice, each a headshot, and their heads exploded like a watermelon smashed by an iron bat. 

Then the zombies dropped to the ground.

No one harms his child. If they did then they will face the demonic side of the happy go, lucky man. Arnold rushed to his children's sides.

"Wow! Nice man, from now on I will leave these guys to you. Next time when we are attacked by the zombies, you can take care of these most-normal dude zombies." Feng said that. He extended his hands forward, passing a high-five to Arnold.

"No problem. I am a professional with guns and rifles. I passed my police academy exams with 100 marks. You know, I can even shot them in the heads with my eyes closed." Arnold answered back with a gleeful smile. He had waited a long time for this moment to arrive, a moment where he can showcase his abilities. After the high-five, he picked up both the children in a big embrace, each in one hand. 

Then they all turned to the newly arrived newbie.

"So who are you? And why did you suddenly jumped in front of our truck?" They demanded an answer from Khan.

"I came from the sweet herbivore city, was running from the unkillable zombies for the past six hours."

"Unkillable zombies?" 

"Yeah! Look for yourself." Khan pointed at their back. He continued, "The battle hasn't ended, these zombies can not be killed. We really need to get out of this place as more of them will come. There are at least a thousand in the forest." Khan warned from the side.

"Eh?" Feng and the party were totally confused.

The zombie whose head Arnold just exploded began to rise from the ground.

Without a head, these zombies sprinted on all fours towards them.

Everyone stood still, as is they are electrocuted.

Even Feng!

These zombies didn't follow the norm. Throughout the nine centuries, when have a zombie persisted on moving even after having its head blasted off. Feng red-eyes expressed the deep sentiment of greed, "These are probably a new type of zombie. What kind of crystal will hey have?"

Ratatatatataattaatatatta! Jody fired. Most of his shots pierced through nothing. Only some found their mark.

"We need to leave, right now, these zombies can't be killed. I will answer all your questions, later!" Khan said in a hurry. Picking up James, he ran to go inside the black-truck.

On the other hand, Arnold had already carried his sleeping kids into the truck. Darci moved along the will of Khan. While Jody put a fight. Reloading his rifle, again and again, and shooting at the headless zombie. "Leader was standing in front of him. So who in this world could hurt him?" Jody didn't fear shit!

"Master, what's with him? That guy is so weird. First, he hugged master legs as if he is a pervert with a foot fetish. Now he is telling us to run in the face of no danger. Is this guy sane?" Dracula said, his voice audible within the gun shouts.
