Hey people it's me Joknian! I'm sorry about not posting a new chapter last week. I was playing a new game I bought with my cousin and I got so captivated by it I forgot about this. (In case you were wondering, the game is Terraria.) Enough apologies, it's time for the new chapter.
Chapter 4: Zombies Everywhere!
It was about high time that nightfall came. It came later than I expected it to. I needed to warn my dad as who knows what will happen when you die in this world in this current situation.
"Dad! We need to build a shelter as quick as we can before the night!" I told him.
"What's there about the night that is so dangerous?" My dad questioned.
"There are zombies that try to eat your flesh, skeletons that shoot arrows with bows at you and creepers that try to kill you by self-destructing!" I literally screamed at him so that he can get how dangerous it is to spend a night in Minecraft.
"Ok, ok. You don't have to shout at me about this." My dad comforted me.
"If you're really serious about surviving the night, then go and collect about thirty-two blocks of dirt from the ground and build a mini shelter for us to stay in throughout the night." I said. Without hesitating, my dad got to work on collecting dirt blocks for me to build us a mini shelter with. Meanwhile, I went and collect the crafting table dad left in the open when we were chopping down trees. After that, my dad passed me the thirty-two blocks of dirt and I made a four by four by two wall with all the blocks. (leaving out the eight corner blocks) I also placed the crafting table down so that we can use it both to craft and a block to stand on to see what's beyond the dirt wall. A few seconds later, the sky turned black with little white dots and darkness took over the forest like a tsunami. I told my dad to step onto the crafting table to look outside. After looking left and right for a while he quickly step back down and said "The-there's a h-horde of zombies coming r-right at us! Wh-what do we do?!"
"We just punch them." I said calmly with a strict face.
"But… what if one of them bites either one of us?" Dad asked with a worried look on his face.
"The zombies only kill in this world. They don't infect the players. Now follow me." I immediately climbed up the wall after saying that sentence and motioned my dad to follow me. I helped my dad climbed up and noticed that his hands were trembling most likely because this was his first time fighting off a real zombie.
"Jovan. The wall is too high for us to punch the zombies down there. We need another method!" dad said, and he was correct. I was staring at about twenty to thirty zombies slowly trudging towards us and had no battle plan. Then I thought "Why not kick the zombies instead? But will it work? Might as well give it a try."
"Dad! Try kicking the zombies! It should work!"
"What do you mean it should work?!" My dad questioned me.
"I know I lied to you in the past but just believe me this time! Do you think I will lie to you when our lives are at stake?!" I questioned back.
"Okay" my dad said with a reassuring nod.
The zombie horde finally made it to the dirt wall groaning and moaning, trying to grab out legs and pull us down to our untimely death but lucky for us we were out of reach. I was the first one to attack a zombie with my leg and to my surprise kicking actually works. My dad saw me kicking the zombie's heads and soon followed suit but there was another problem rising. The zombies that we kicked down to the ground were still getting back up and continue attacking.
"Jovan! The kicks are not very effective against the zombies. What should we do know?" my father asked.
Then, a sudden rush of adrenaline made me feel like killing those zombies in the most brutal way I can think of. The only brutal death that was open to me at that time was to chop them up with an axe and so I did what I thought. I took out the wooden axe that I had and jumped right into the zombie horde. I started hacking and chopping away at the zombies without a care in the world. I noticed that the wooden axe cut right through them without any problem most likely due to the rotting flesh of the zombies. After chopping up most of the zombies, six zombies were left and started to enclose me in a circle and I was getting tired to so I thought it was time I let centrifugal force help me do most of the work. As the zombies were closing in on me, I started to swing my axe in a counter-clockwise direction. After each rotation I had to lean back a little more so that I won't fall off balance and to keep the axe horizontally parallel to the ground. The zombies finally came into the radius at which the axe is swinging in and *CHOP* I dissected the zombies torso in half and they fell to the ground and died. I managed to stop the swinging axe and my hand only to receive the sight of my dad staring at my direction, eyes widened and jaw slightly opened.
"I killed… All the… Zombies…" I said while panting with a sadistic grin plastered onto my face.
"A-are you ok?" my dad asked with a worried tone.
"I… I'm fine." I answered, the panting starting to change into heave breaths and my facial expression changing into my regular bored look.
I started to head my way back to the shelter when suddenly my father yelled at me "DUCK DOWN!" I looked up to see my father holding his axe in a throwing position so without hesitating another second I ducked down. After ducking down, I heard a 'Phss' sound. I turned around and found out that my dad just threw his axe and a creeper which was creeping up behind me and nearly killing me. I went back to the creeper and took the axe out of its head and got some gunpowder. After getting back behind the walls of dirt where it was safe, I passed the axe back to my dad and we both decided to sit this night out as we both have seen enough action for one night.
Chapter 4 out of the way and onto chapter 5! My first story with an actual fighting scene. I hope it was satisfactory for all of you readers and sorry if I got a little nerdy at the end of the fighting scene. I know some of you are allergic to nerdy-ness. Anyways, if you're interested in this current MC story, please make sure you follow this story to keep up with the weekly updates and leave a review if you have anything to say/ask about the story. And with all that I finish this story's chapter. GOODBYE!
