Right as Racine heard those words the sound of an engine was heard and breaking through from the cocoon of bougainvillea was the flying jeepney with its flashing lights.
With those flashing lights, like a lighthouse it illuminated the space.
"ALEX!!!!" Cristina's shout could be heard as the Jeepney flew upwards towards the edge of the building.
A hand latched on it.
Then another.
The Jeepney lifted higher.
Bob who was driving decided to do lift higher planning to circle around or try another building to land on but as he drove higher and higher.
Like ants the undead could be seen swarming every rooftop their eyes all on the prize.
"We can't stay" Bob said to Cristina.
Cristina's face becane distorted, Her feet crushing down the hand of the undead who latch on to the jeepney, "They must be another way-"
The Jeepney tilted to the side causing Cristina to be thrown to the side.
"WE NEED TO GO NOW" Bob shouted stepping on the gas pedal, His mana that he still hasn't recover fully pushed to the brim.
Cristina hold on tighter to the handles as the jeepney speed fast the buildings her eyes towards the building where Alex and Racine was.
"Do not worry. I had left my puppet there" Cristina turned to the owner of the voice Juan.
"Racine managed to survive weeks alone, He won't die so stupidly now that he had a companion with him" Juan spoke, "I lend Bob some of my mana. You two should head back to camp" Juan said before his body begun to slowly disintegrated into the wind.
...
'No way' Alex thought to himself.
"Cristina?" Racine heard Alex said as they watch the Jeepney drove away.
That small amount of pause, gave way for the undead to grab into him and even took a nibble.
Smoke no longer came from Alex's body.
"Move!" Racine don't want to risk running back to him he swiftly took off his remaining shoe and hurled it towards Alex.
Just as it hit Alex the Shaft gave in under Racine's weight sending him tumbling down inside the narrow space.
The undead banged against the shaft countless hands stretched to claw and grab.
Racine crawled on the tight space hoping the other end would not contain his demise.
An Undead made its way inside from the opening its eyes locked towards Racine.
It was a hairs breath away when the mouth that could have munched on Racine's face was pried away.
Alex with his smoking body made his way inside using his back as a barricade to close the open space.
"Hit me" Alex said completely ignoring the fact multiple hand pierced his body their blodied hands reaching towards Racine.
Like a kid fetching the last contents of a cookie jar.
"Hit me" Alex said with a smile.
He look like a crazied freak with that smile and the fact one of the undead hand was pulling on his intestine like a rope.
'I hit you alright' Racine thought to himself before giving Alex a kick in the groin.
Even he winced on it but Alex the owner of the Ability [Martyr] instead felt the sudden surge of mana on his body.
Mana pumped on his heart along with blood completely restoring his blood vessels, nerves and bones.
Feeling refreshed and Stronger than before Alex let out a laugh.
'This bastard is insane' Racine wants to cry.
