Kael fought off exhaustion with all he had. He couldn't fall unconscious here, not now, not when he was stuck in a room with dozens of Zombies crowding its only door.
Not when the red zone was creeping in, and not when he noticed that the Momentum Rune Zombie was also approaching the area he was in.
The door behind him wasn't just there, it was a living threat. Every few seconds it shuddered with another hit, another scrape, another dull thump as bodies pressed in from the corridor. Nails dragged along metal like someone sharpening a blade slowly.
Teeth clicked. The sound wasn't loud, but it was constant, and constant sound did something nasty to the mind. It made you imagine what you couldn't see. It made you picture hands slipping through a gap that didn't exist yet.
