PATIENT ZERO -The lone survivor
ressilife flashed before my eyeseverything went black
I looked back one last time.
Malik was surrounded. He was fighting like a demon, deflecting plasma bolts with invisible shields, ripping the armor off the troopers with his mind. But Kazi was still there. The Hunter had pulled a massive combat knife from his boot—a vibrating blade made of white ceramic that wouldn't rust.
He was circling Malik, waiting for an opening.
"We have to help him," I said, stopping. "He's going to die."
"We can't," Eliana cried, pulling me into the darkness of the tunnel. "If Kazi gets you, this is all for nothing. You are the Zero, Baraka. You are the one who matters. Malik is buying us time!"
