"Get in."
Nina Jacobs said.
The four of them stared, wide-eyed.
The roaring behind them continued.
With no time for shock or questions, they scrambled into the car.
Nina Jacobs floored the accelerator and sped off.
"What was that all about?"
Nina Jacobs asked the four, who were still shaken.
The group consisted of three men and one woman. One man and woman appeared to be a couple, while the other two men, one heavy-set and one thin, kept glancing nervously behind them.
"I-It was some kind of four-legged monster!
It chased us for so long. We thought we’d lost it,
but then another one appeared up ahead!"
The young woman said, her voice filled with terror.
The monster was incredibly strong; it had flipped their car right over.
Two of their companions hadn’t made it out in time, and the two monsters had pounced, tearing into them.
To make matters worse, that section of road was a small bridge, and for some unknown reason, a large part of it had collapsed.
That was why they had tried to stop Nina Jacobs from driving any further.
"No, they’re not monsters.
They must be wild boars from around here,
and they’ve turned into zombies!"
The heavy-set man sitting next to Nina Jacobs replied.
"Thank you for saving our lives."
The young woman’s boyfriend seemed relatively composed.
But just as they thought they were safe, the car screeched to a halt.
"So, they’re zombie boars."
Nina Jacobs stared at the zombified animal that had just burst out from the dead woods by the road.
’If they’re zombie boars, there should be a lot of them around here.’
’After all, boars were herd animals even before the apocalypse.’
"We’re screwed! This thing is insanely strong!
The car won’t make it through."
The thin man’s face went pale as death.
’There are two behind us and now one in front.’
’We’re definitely going to die today!’
"Then let’s get out."
Nina Jacobs said to Wayne Warner in the back.
"Okay."
Wayne Warner nodded, his eyes firmly fixed on the zombie boar outside the car.
Perhaps because he had never seen such a thing, Nina Jacobs noticed a hint of curiosity in Wayne Warner’s eyes.
"You’ve got to be kidding me..."
The heavy-set man asked, his voice trembling. ’Get out of the car now?’
"If the car gets wrecked, no one can fix it."
As she spoke, Nina Jacobs had already opened the car door and gotten out.
The zombie boar seemed to have retained its old instincts. Facing the SUV, it scraped its front hooves against the ground.
It was preparing to charge.
Seeing Nina Jacobs and her companion get out, it charged.
BAM!
With a running start, Wayne Warner kicked the zombie boar head-on.
The zombie boar, which stood over a meter tall, was sent flying into the cliff face by the side of the road!
The people in the car even forgot to get out.
"Does he have legs of steel?"
The heavy-set man said in disbelief.
"But it’s a zombie! It’s not hurt at all!"
Another companion shouted. The zombie boar slid down the cliff face and got back on its feet.
’It’s going to attack again!’
And it was targeting the young woman who had just saved them!
As the zombie boar lunged at her, Nina Jacobs braced herself, sweeping her Fire Roaring Blade low across the ground.
In a flash, all four of the zombie boar’s hooves were cleanly severed!
While the boar was down and unable to stand, she plunged the Fire Roaring Blade straight into its eye socket!
The zombie boar’s mouth gaped open, releasing a putrid stench. But it had clearly taken a fatal blow and was now lifeless.
Nina Jacobs twisted the tip of her blade inside the eye socket, pulling out a Crystal Core half the size of her palm.
"You two are incredible!
