The links slithered their way in, attaching themselves to Blaze's brain. With each link that connected, it felt like someone had shoved a bar of molten steel right through his mind.
Forget about zombies, even humans didn't feel any pain in their heads. That's why most brain surgeries happened when the patient was active.
However, that wasn't true in Blaze's case.
His hands slumped to his sides as he fell face-first against the tunnel's surface. Fester jumped in, sensing something was wrong.
It tried to tear through the links, but they didn't budge. With no way to help him, Fester ran back to the others, specifically, Marrow. It knew she was the most intelligent among them and could help Blaze.
Through his blurry eyes, Blaze saw Fester disappear into the darkness. He wanted to call out to it, but every muscle in his body had gone numb. He couldn't even blink, let alone call out to someone.
Why… does it hurt so much?
