I turned to look up at Chen Zi Han and then back down to where his hand was resting firmly on my shoulder. Giving him a look of confusion, I waited for whatever it was that he wanted to say.
"In arms reach, rember? We are not going to have another incident like before. Even if you can heal at a superhuman rate, we can't handle it," he said, his voice deep and gruff. I had the grace to blush. I guess I hadn't learned my lesson well enough if I was willing to run headfirst into a bunch of zombies again.
Then again, at least this ti I didn't have my headphones in AND I was willing to use my fla.
Wrinkling my nose, this ti not because of the sll but because of embarrassnt, I waited beside him. "What is your plan?" I asked as the other three n spread out behind us, each taking a different section of the line. I saw a few faces that I recognized in the crowd and assud that their n had co back out of the woodwork to help out.
"I protect you," said Chen Zi Han with a shrug. "You just have to let ," he added, almost as an afterthought.
I paused for a second and thought about my next move. Did I want to draw this out? Or hurry it up and move on?
A zombie roared at from about 10 feet away, making my decision for . I would do what I could to take them out all at once, what was the worst that could happen?

I needed to make a ntal note not to say those words again because it turned out that things did not go according to plan.
My idea was simple. Draw the flas of the zombies to , have my fla consu them, and have no human the wiser when zombies just dropped down dead. How it happened, was not so… straightforward.
I watched as the zombie that had roared a challenge got close enough to to the point where I could easily make out its fla. It sprinted up to , its teeth bared and its right hand up with its claws extended, ready to take out, only to drop dead without a sound.
My purple fla beca brighter as it consud the zombie's life force and even my pink and blue flas reacted to the increase in energy. With a heady feeling fueled by an energy drink and a power boost, I closed my eyes, looking for the next fla to take.
I knew that Chen Zi Han was there to watch my back, so I didn't think much of it when I shut out the world to only concentrate on the different flas in front of . It almost look like I was in a sea of darkness with fireflies flittering about.
There were thousands of different flas, so blue and lavender that I associated with the zombies and others of different colors that must be the humans. Calling on my purple fla, I held out my hand in the direction with the most zombie flas. Still with my eyes closed, I curled my fingers into a fist and allowed my fla to engulf them.
The rush of pure… happiness… caught off guard. But as my body rejoiced in the feeling of pure bliss, I didn't think about anything else, other than getting more of those flas. Looking in another direction with even more blue and lavender flas, I reached out and this ti, not bothering with my purple fla, called them to , my body absorbing them without a second thought.I think you should take a look at
It was a heady, euphoric feeling being able to consu the flas of the zombies. Almost as if I was doing what I should have been doing all along.
My body went on to autopilot and my brain turned blank as I fixated on the blue and lavender flas. I kept pulling them into my body more and more until there… was none left.
Unable to let go of this high, I turned my attention to the other colors. If the blue and lavender ones weren't there to feed , then I would simply take the other ones. I found a single black fla near and as I wrapped my fist around it, ready to call it to , I felt sothing wrong, sothing almost painful. Dropping that fla, I struggled to find another one that would bring about the bliss again.
I found so pink flas, a whole cluster of them, but as soon as I touched them, I felt the sa thing as I felt with the black fla. Quickly letting go, I growled in frustration.
Then in the middle of all of the pink flickering lights was a group of three flas. One was red, another was white and finally, there was a silver one. Taking all three in hand, I once again felt the pain that I had with the black fla. Quickly letting go, I sent the flas a slight caress in apology before moving on.
I needed more flas, I needed to consu them, I needed to beco stronger. But I needed to avoid the flas that caused pain.
This ti I found another group of pink flas, and when I wrapped my fist around them… there was nothing. No feeling of pain, no feeling of… wrongness. I smiled as I pulled them towards , but the feeling that I was expecting, the strength that I got from the zombie flas, wasn't there.
Oh, it made a bit stronger, but not enough. Not nearly enough.
I continued to look around the darkness trying to find the fireflies that would feed . But no matter how many flas I called to ; it wasn't the sa as the first ones.
Completely disheartened, I opened my eyes to try and see the surrounding area, but all I saw was darkness before I felt my consciousness being pulled away.

Chen Zi Han reached out and pulled Li Dai Lu into his arms just before she collapsed onto the ground. He didn't know what had happened and didn't really care at this point, but the zombies were gone and the humans that were left were few and far between.
Pulling her tighter into his arms, he looked around for the other three n. The aftermath would need to be sorted out, and without Princess, they would have to take over.
Not to ntion, they needed to figure out exactly what happened just now.
