System Of The Undead

Chapter 77: Sam Vs Rodrigo, The Sixth Specter!

Sam knew he had to take Rodrigo seriously or this might be his last fight but Sam was happy that he met someone that could make him go all out.

Sam took a deep breath and his body language changed the moment he exhaled.

"You’re taking this seriously now? I guess I should too..." Rodrigo said.

Alex was surprised that Sam was still standing because that kick was enough to knock out the average fighter yet Sam had eaten it like it was nothing.

Rodrigo stood mere inches from Sam, looking him right in the eyes but neither man made a move for what seemed like eternity but Sam suddenly plunged his hand forward.

Rodrigo ducked down to evade the blow and instantaneously attempted a sweeping kick to sweep Sam off his feet but this was something that Sam had predicted.

Leaping into the air with his knee aimed right into Rodrigo’s face but Rodrigo blocked it with his open palm.

"You aren’t bad," Sam complimented him but this was one more thing he had predicted because Rodrigo had one hand on the ground to balance himself and it was because of this very reason that he couldn’t block Sam’s next attack.

Sam used his other leg to land a powerful knee blow to the side of Rodrigo’s head.

Rodrigo was sent tumbling away from him.

Sam landed gracefully on the ground like a god that had descended from the heavens.

"You see, you aren’t the only one with training..." Sam said and everyone was surprised that he could land a hit on a man revered as a Specter.

Sam was even, they had both landed a blow on each other but this was just the beginning of their fight and both men knew it.

"Aren’t you worried about what would happen to you after this fight?" Rodrigo asked as he slowly got to his feet.

"I don’t know. I kill the others too?" Sam asked, puzzled as to why this was even a topic of discussion.

"You’re funny, I like you..." The Brazilian said; but Sam knew very well what he met but as ridiculous as it sounded, Sam saw himself surviving this despite being outnumbered and outgunned.

All it took to end this was someone pulling the trigger but Sam knew that these men were using him to play some sort of game.

Sam rushed at Rodrigo and Rodrigo braced himself because he now understood that Sam fought with feints, he didn’t know which were feints or which weren’t but that wasn’t his business.

Rodrigo attempted to kick Sam, Sam joined his forearm to defend against the threat but the kick changed direction mid-motion.

"A Brazilian kick..." Sam thought to himself, he didn’t expect this but this didn’t mean he couldn’t defend himself against it.

Sam raised his knee to block the kick, using the single leg planted on the ground as a pivot to launch himself upward and initiated a spinning flying kick but Rodrigo dodged it.

"This is so cool!" One of the men watching couldn’t help but mutter, this was the first time he had seen such a battle in person.

Everyone’s attention was so focused on the fight that they failed to see Clementine peeking through the window, everyone but Jason.

Clementine placed her finger above her lips to tell Jason to keep quiet, she didn’t know the situation but she knew that Sam was in trouble even though he was holding his own against Rodrigo.

Sam had set a booby trap that was yet to be triggered but Clementine knew they couldn’t be there when it went off or people would gather in that location.

Jason took a deep breath before screaming at the top of his lungs, this startled everyone.

But it was a very useful diversion as Clementine kicked in the door at that very moment.

Sam immediately jumped to the floor right before she opened fire with the assault rifle she had on her.

The accuracy was impressive as the bullets cut down their numbers in mere seconds.

Alex was in Clementine’s blind spot unfortunately for her but before he could do anything, a bullet found his lower torso.

Jason wasn’t about to allow harm to come to Clementine because, unlike Sam, she was one of the people he genuinely liked as she always looked out for him.

The bullet had managed to touch Rodrigo but he managed to slip out of the building.

The bullets drew people and this was where Sam’s booby trap came in handy as it exploded, repelling the first wave of people rushing there.

Sam had a lot of questions because if Jason didn’t interfere, he was sure that Clementine would be dead.

They had somehow managed to escape this situation as Clementine supported Jason’s fragile body and they exited the vicinity. The moment they escaped and were in hiding, Sam punched Jason across the face and Clementine had to hold him back because now wasn’t the time for any of it.

"You fucking piece of shit! I will fucking kill you!" Sam threatened Jason but Clementine was barely holding him back.

"Calm down Sam! Now isn’t the time!" Clementine tried to calm him down, she had never seen Sam so agitated and she knew that Jason must have done something to get him this riled up.

She has been giving him the benefit of the doubt but she trusted Sam a whole lot more than she did Jason.

"I can explain... Clementine, let him go," Jason blurted out weakly, his legs barely keeping him standing. Clementine released Sam who had calmed down somewhat.

"Everything went according to my plan," Jason said and Sam raised a brow the moment he heard this but he knew that he couldn’t kill Jason without hearing him out or Clementine would never let him hear the end of it. Sam held himself back from beating Jason to death but they had escaped what looked like certain death and it was all thanks to Clementine’s ambush and Sam knew that Jason was why Jason screamed.

"This better be good!" Sam responded.
