The Greater Number 2: Hand of Karma part 5

  Father Ng hadn't been on watch for very long when the inevitable happened.  There was always the random zombie wandering around, but this time there were three.  He whispered a silent prayer and took the safety off his shotgun.
  His night vision goggles showed him what appeared to be two males of medium build and a flail looking female.  God knows what fate had befallen the female's arm, but she only had one.  She must have seen the lights of the camp because she started to approach.
  It went against his beliefs, but he had a duty to protect his fellow survivors so he aimed the shotgun straight at her forehead and took the shot.  Her head obliterated and her body fell.
  What happened next confused Father Ng.  The two males hit the ground and crawled around aimlessly.  Zombies have no fear.  You can shoot one in the chest and he'll still keep coming at you.  Something wasn't right.  He grabbed a flashlight and turned off his goggles.  He turned the flashlight on and pointed it at the two males.  This got their attention.  They faced him, put their hands high up and cautiously approached.
  "Don't shoot!  We're unarmed!" yelled one of them.
  When they had gotten to within twenty feet of him, Father Ng pointed the shotgun away.  Tears rolled down his cheeks.  "Mbu?" he asked.
  "Dad?"
  "Mr. Ng?"
  Just then a huge, heavily armed vehicle crashed through the bushes and stopped right in front of the three men.  Soldiers exited the vehicle with a variety of weapons pointed at the group.
