Avya's gaze darted upward, locking onto a glinting object slicing through the gray sky. Before she could process it, the mindless zombies lurched toward her, their guttural snarls snapping her out of her daze.
No time to catch her breath—they were on her like a pack of rabid dogs.Then, a blur of motion: the hovering object plummeted, slamming into the nearest zombie's skull with a sickening crunch.

Avya seized the moment, adrenaline surging as she sidestepped two lunging corpses, their clawing hands grazing her jacket.
With a swift pivot, she drove her boot into another's chest, toppling it and carving a slim gap in the encircling horde.
Gunshots echoed in the distance, growing louder with every passing second. Kali's soldiers were closing in, drawn by the chaos she'd stirred up.
