Sylvia's POV:
It was pitch black now.
We tried to retreat along the same path we had taken, but many zombies attacked us along the way.
"These zombies are brainless monsters who don't die." Ashley, who was hiding in the dark with us, observed the zombies who were waving their arms listlessly outside.
There were a lot of zombies—too many to count. Back then, during the war between werewolves and vampires, the only reason why the vampires had the upper hand was because they had a zombie army.
"So what should we do now?" Flora wrung her hands anxiously.
The situation was more complicated than I thought. With countless zombies around, we were trapped.
Just then, Rufus' subordinates rushed over from the other side. They had passed through another exit to avoid the zombies.
"You guys go first. I'll deal with the aftermath here."
Rufus ordered his subordinates to take out the flash bombs they had prepared in advance to counter the zombies.
Warren was protecting Flora while I pulled Ashley and Layla to the right.
Fortunately, although zombies were difficult to deal with, their attacks were nothing compared to real vampires, so none of us got injured as we made our escape.
Rufus didn't waste too much energy on those zombies. After repelling them with a few flash bombs, he quickly turned around and followed after us.
But our problem now was the vampires; they had caught up to us.
The silver-haired vampire activated his special power and released copious amounts of smoke, making us all lose our sense of direction. I couldn't even see my hand in front of me.
I covered my nose and coughed hard. The smoke smelled so bad that I almost fainted.
Suddenly, I heard someone retching in front of me.
"Damn it! It smells like shit!"
It was Flora. She had been particularly sensitive to scents recently and vomited as soon as she smelled anything unpleasant. I made a mental note to have her checked at the hospital after we got out of here.
With Warren by Flora's side, I didn't worry about her too much. What did worry me was that Ashley and Layla were nowhere to be found.
And so was Rufus.
I called out his name, hoping to find him.
