The group had just finished stargazing and was about to head back to rest when a sudden crash echoed from the courtyard below. A split second later, a figure burst through the perimeter wall and bolted into the distance at breakneck speed.
"!!"
"What the hell was that?!"
It was too dark to make out exactly what—or who—it was. Most of them couldn't see clearly.
But Ethan did. His eyes lit up with surprise and excitement.
Well, damn. After all this time, he'd actually managed to raise a Stage D zombie.
That's right—the one that just broke out was one of the Tier 5 zombies he'd been keeping locked up in an iron cage. After days of waiting, one of them had finally broken through to Tier 6.
What he hadn't expected was that the thing's injuries would heal after the breakthrough—and that it'd be strong enough to bust open the cage. That part was a little much.
"Go fix the cage," Ethan ordered quickly. "Don't let the others escape. I'll go catch it!"
