The creatures twitched again, their glowing eyes locking onto the enforcers.
The officers barely had time to react before the creatures charged at them.
"Open fire!" the squad leader bellowed. Gunfire erupted, muzzle flashes illuminating the dense red mist as bullets tore into the mutated figures.
But it wasn't enough.
Some of the creatures staggered from the impact, their flesh rupturing in sickening bursts—only to keep moving as if pain no longer existed for them.
Others twisted unnaturally, dodging bullets in ways no human ever could.
One officer managed to land a headshot, dropping one of the monsters to the ground. He exhaled in relief—only for his breath to hitch as the body convulsed violently and then, impossibly, began to stand back up.
"Shit! They're not staying down!" another officer screamed, reloading frantically.
Then the creatures were upon them.
