System Of The Undead

Chapter 84: A Rift In Bonds?

Ren was cutting down zombies with relative ease, killing every threat in his way and sometimes this meant indiscriminately killing his people.

Ren was a loose cannon but who could blame him considering the current state of the world?

He smiled, he laughed, he screamed and relished everybody his sword tore through.

Ren was searching for Lorenzo, he had it in him to kill him but unknown to Ren, Lorenzo wasn’t alone anymore.

"LORENZO!" Ren shouted; this was the fastest way to get his attention as he didn’t have the luxury of time.

Ren was attracting zombies with this noise but the way he disposed of them showed that zombies were on the list of his problems because these were the walker type of zombies.

They had to be the weakest on the zombie ladder and Ren was showing them just why.

He kept screaming and screaming, this was reckless considering that there was a horde on its way.

Of course, Ren didn’t know this but he didn’t need to continue screaming for long because someone soon approached him.

The person revealed was Allison and she looked livid, she was also looking for Lorenzo because he had killed Cindy, and the news spread like wildfire as they came across her zombified body.

Since they didn’t know how it spread, they assumed that Cindy was bitten but there was no way that both she and Joseph would be bitten at the same time.

This was all bullshit and Allison was planning to get to the bottom of it.

"What’re you doing here?" Ren asked Allison but it was obvious by her sniffling nose that she had been crying.

She was close to Cindy so her death struck close to home, she took it personally and she was ready to hunt Lorenzo.

She had an assault rifle strapped to her back, Ren knew that she was going in blasting but only if she knew how scary Lorenzo was.

There was a reason the man who led them didn’t allow them to hunt him, it was because they didn’t want to provoke Lorenzo into killing more than he should.

He was focused on the Specters, this meant that the casualties would be minimal.

It was a calculated risk and it was working however no one understood the length that Allison was prepared to go to avenge her friend.

Ren smiled at this revelation, he didn’t mind her tagging along as he had no problems cutting her down should she get in the way.

Ren was like Sam in a sense except he had no code he went by, he was the reincarnate of chaos and this was why they kept him around.

He could have easily been 4th in the rankings but he rarely thought things through and was more on the impulsive side.

But if he was a match for Lorenzo, that was to be seen.

-

Jason had teamed up with Lorenzo, he didn’t know what this would do but he knew it was his best chance at surviving.

Jason knew he couldn’t fight but he was worried about Clementine because the eyes that Lorenzo was looking at her with were perverse.

Jason knew that look anywhere, it was filled with lust.

Jason had to find a way to divert his attention because Sam was in no condition to defend her.

"It has been a while since I have seen a lady as beautiful as you," Lorenzo said, licking his lips as he grabbed his crotch.

"I’m sorry to disappoint you but this one is off the market, she’s my woman," Jason said without missing a heartbeat.

He knew that if this man wanted to join him then he would know the natural boundaries that existed in a relationship.

Clementine knew what Jason was doing and decided to play along, trusting that he knew what he was doing. However, Lorenzo didn’t need much convincing as his hand left his crotch.

He glanced over at Sam and to his surprise, the man was getting on his feet, he was wobbly for a second but Sam punched himself across the face and that seemed to sober him up.

"You should have been out..." Lorenzo said with a poker face but Sam didn’t give him a response.

He simply equipped his gun but unlike Clementine, Lorenzo knew he would pull the trigger and he had to jump behind a coach and even with his evasive maneuver, Sam’s bullet grazed him.

Lorenzo was impressed because he was sure that he gave this man a concussion and for him to be able to still shoot the way he did was nothing short of brilliant.

"Sam stop!" Jason tried to stop the man but Sam wasn’t hearing it and rightfully so.

He spat out blood and surprisingly, this came with a tooth.

"You hit like a gorilla! I fucking like that!" Sam exclaimed, he didn’t hold it against Lorenzo but he also knew that he couldn’t let this man live.

He had listened to what Jason had heard, Sam liked the man Jason was becoming but this was the quickest way to having another Bella situation on their hands.

Nothing was stopping this man from betraying them and the fact that he was strong enough to cause him troubles meant that he would be a lot harder to deal with.

Clementine was conflicted if she should join in because if she did, this man would die for sure.

There was no way he could survive, she looked at Jason and she could tell that he disapproved of the thoughts going through her head.

She could either side with Sam or go with what Jason wished, Clementine knew the choice she was about to make would shape the dynamic she had with both men.

Clementine gulped, she hated that she was in the middle of this.

"Sam, he can be useful to us," Clementine said as she lowered her gun and she could tell that Sam lost every ounce of respect he had for her with that statement.

"You’re beginning to irritate me, Clementine..."
