Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 554

Chapter 554: 554-The Deadly Drifters

Clementine:

"I do not like this part of the north," Leysa complained to Troy as we kept moving.

"Okay, this is Sector 13," I said, pointing at the fallen estate. "We have to pass through it."

I stepped into the area, and the others followed.

The Hollow Man had fallen far behind.

"What are we going to face here?" Leysa asked from behind me.

I took a deep breath, then answered, "The Dead Drifters."

They looked confused so I decided to help them with an explanation.

"In other words, zombies," I added.

The moment I finished speaking, one of the building doors swung open, and the drifters rushed out with full force.

"I really don’t like this place," Leysa complained as she ran behind us.

"Get into the building on the side, hurry," I shouted.

I reached the building first and pulled the main gate open.

The three of them rushed inside ahead of me, and I followed right after.

We slammed the metal fence shut. I had barely secured it when the drifters threw themselves against it.

Ian grabbed me from behind and pulled me away from the gate.

We looked into their eyes. They were gone.

There was no consciousness left in them.

Some of them shoved their hands through the gaps in the fence, trying to reach us, screaming the whole time.

Leysa began to shake.

"What kind of monsters are these?" she asked.

Troy ran a hand through his hair and pointed at them.

"You two have fought them before?" he asked, looking at Ian and me.

Ian shook his head and turned toward me.

"I had come into this building earlier to explore the area, but I had only fought one of them. They never moved in groups like this. Back then, someone had locked them all inside. I don’t know how the door opened or if they broke it themselves."

I had just finished speaking when their weight started forcing the metal gate open.

"Everyone inside, now," I ordered. "There will be normal household items in the rooms. Some of them can be used as weapons. We need weapons because we’re going to have to fight our way through them. Otherwise, we won’t make it across."

As soon as I finished, we ran deeper inside.

We entered carefully. Noises echoed from upstairs, like something was moving around up there too.

We didn’t know whether more drifters had broken free or if they were just slamming their heads against windows and doors.

We began searching the ground floor in pairs. Ian and I knew more about these monsters, so I stayed with Leysa while Ian paired up with Troy.

Leysa and I moved down the hallway, stepping into one room after another, picking up anything useful. Small knives wouldn’t do much.

"Will this work?" Leysa asked, lifting a butcher knife.

"It will, but we’d have to get too close," I replied. "We need something we can aim from a distance."

Without hesitation, she snapped the handle off a mop and tied the butcher knife tightly to the end with a strip of cloth.

"That’ll work," I said, giving her a small smile.

She was learning fast. She smiled back at my approval.

I headed toward the bedroom and noticed the closet door slightly open.

I don’t usually go through someone’s closet, but no one was here.

The owners were probably the ones trying to tear us apart outside.
