"First, lets go to the baseball club" I suggested
"But why?" asked Nakamura.
"We need to get some baseball bats to defend ourselves and get out of this school" I replied.
"Yeah, that makes sense" said Nakamura.
Then we headed for the baseball club and took some bats. On our way to the classroom we met Tsubomi-senpai, a second year at our school. She was my childhood friend and also a friend of Mamoru-san.
"What is that on your hand?" Nakamura asked Tsubomi-senpai.
"Oh! This is a electrified broom stick which I have been developing" she said.
"Anyway, lets try to figure out how we can escape this building together." I said.
While we were thinking about getting out, I saw that no students were helping each other. Earlier I saw that two students who became best friends yesterday were walking on the stairs. Suddenly one of them got attacked, he asked help from his best friend. But he kicked him and the friend who was in trouble got eaten by several zombies.
"Hey, Shoyo-kun, are you all right?" asked Mamoru-san while I looked tense about thinking about it.
"Yeah, I'm fine" I replied. I thought that this no time to be worrying and then I got a plan.
"Hey, everyone I've got a plan. But first, if you want to survive this, then you have to help each other." I said. Then everybody calmed down and looked towards me.
I started telling my plan," Listen, there's a bus stand not so far from here. We need to go there. And we ha- "I could not finish my line because Takeda asked," How are going to get out of the school?"
"Yes, let me finish my line, I am telling." I replied.
"First, you all have to wear your socks in your hand." People started to whisper among themselves after hearing this.
I started to tell about my plan, "I know it sound weird, but those creatures will try to bite your hand at first. And secondly, loosen up your clothes and tie then up on your arm. Now, the most important part. It may be a hypothesis but listen to me. Try not to make any sound. These creatures react to sound. "
"Now, get ready to move, everyone." By saying this I took the baseball bat and opened the door of the classroom. Everyone was moving without making any sound. I saw that there were many of those creatures moving in the hallways. I noticed that a disgusting smell of blood was coming. I tried my best not to vomit.
We came near the stairs. There were some zombies also in the stairs. We carefully came down. But suddenly a girl got touched by a zombie, soon she started to scream and vomit. Then all the zombies started to rush towards her.
"Mamoru-san, Nakamura and Tsubomi-san lets run." I shouted and started to run. Then we started to hit the zombies with our bats to clear out the way to the gate. We got close to the gate and saw there were many zombies there. Then Tsubomi-san took out her broom and hit may zombies at once. I remembered that she love both martial arts and science.
"That's cool, Tsubomi-senpai" said Nakamura.
"Thanks" replied Tsubomi-san.
The way got clearer after killing some zombies. We started to run. At some point, we reached the bus station. We saw an empty bus and got into it. The bus driver was sleeping inside the bus. We woke him up and explained everything to him. After seeing the blood on our shirts, he believed us. He started to drive then.
"What are those things?" said Nakamura in a tired voice.
"I don't know but its clear that if you get beaten by any of those, you turn into one of them." I replied.
Suddenly I saw that blood was coming out from Tsubomi-san's right hand.
"Are you okay, Tsubomi-san?" I asked.
"Umm, I got bit, Shoyo-chan." She replied with a confused look on her face.
"This is the last request of my life. Please listen to it, Shoyo-chan." She said.
She again said, " Please kill me someone, I don't want to end up being like one of those creatures."
"No we can't kill Tsubomi-senpai." Said Mamoru-san.
"Yes, there's got to be a way" said Nakamura. Then I also thought that maybe there's a way to save her. Suddenly the bus driver pushed the brake hardly and we all fell down.
"What happened?" I asked.
"There are some people who stopped the bus" replied the driver. I saw outside the window and saw that, some people and students were standing. Then I got out of the bus. Then a man came towards me and said, "Please let us on the bus. This place is surrounded with all those creatures.
"Ok, get on the bus." I said.
"Why did you let this people on the bus. What if any of them is infected?" Nakamura whispered in my ears.
"Well, I'll ask them now." I replied.
"Hey, did any of you get bitten?" I asked loudly.
"No, we all are fine. We did not get bitten" they replied. All of them claimed that they did not get bitten.
"Anyway, is anyone among you infected?" asked a middle-aged man. I did not like the look in his eyes.
"Yes, one of our friends got bitten, But we will look for h-"I could not finish my sentence.
"What did you say?" he shouted.
"Who is it?" he asked me by holding my shoulder.
"It's her. "I replied by pointing at Tsubomi-senpai. Then everybody got away from her.
"Hey, kill her. Why are you keeping her alive?" somebody said from the back.
"Yeah kill her. She's a monster." Another person shouted. After that everybody started shouting, "Kill her."
"Listen, boy we do not want to get killed." The middle-aged man said by taking a baseball bat. Then he hit her on the stomach.
"Hey stop! She's still a human." Nakamura cried out. But the man did not stop. Me and out out friends tried to stop him. Mamoru-san started crying. I noticed that a police officer got on the bus when our bus stopped.
"Hey, you are a police officer, right? Stop him!" I begged him.
"Why are you standing still? Do something, he can not just hit her like this. " shouted Nakamura. The police officer took out his revolver. Everyone stopped. I thought that he was going to help us. But he pointed the gun at me and said, "Shut up! She's not a human anymore. She's just a monster."
"You want this monster that badly, huh?" the policeman asked.
"Then take her and get out of the bus." He said.
"Whoever wants to get out of here, can leave with this monster and this brat." Said the middle aged man. The police man kept his revolver pointed at me.
"I'll go." Said Nakamura and Mamoru-san.
"No, you can't leave the bus. It's too dangerous outside." I said.
"I'd better turn into a zombie than leaving my friends." Said Nakamura.
After hearing this tear came in my eyes.
"I'll go also." Said Mamoru-san.
I had nothing to say anymore. After that I and Nakamura took up Tsubomi-san's body and got out of the bus with Mamoru-san. While getting out of the bus I saw that Kanzaki was sitting in the bus and he was smiling.
We were very lucky because there were no zombies int that area. We put Tsubomi-san down and checked her heart beat. She was alive. Nakamura suddenly opened his phone and saw the news report. The reporter was saying,
"Here you can see that suddenly out of nowhere a lot of creatures started movement in the city and started attacking people. This is actually caused by an accident from the famous laboratory, Lin Shin Labs. We have the head scientist of that laboratory here, Dr. Lin. He will tell us about the accident"
Then Dr. Lin started to speak, "It was one of my dreams to create a chemical which could make human strong, when I was young, I saw many super heroes, I wanted to be one of them, this desire turned into obsession, and I stared working on it. When I was almost near my goal, then suddenly the reaction started to become abnormal. I saw it through the microscope. Then it suddenly started to spread out in gaseous form. I was not affected because I was wearing a lab suit. But through the air passage it spread out in the city. It became a virus, I named it ZTX-100EXD. Unfortunately, this virus is contagious. Once people are attacked with this virus, their nerves and muscles start to get stronger. This makes the affected person very strong. But the extent of this strongness goes to such a period that the people can not control it anymore and the virus dominates the cells and nervous system of the people. So they become like these creatures. This virus still does not have any antidote. But I have found out one thing by examining the body of the affected people. The people who are infected, or the VII (Virus affected individual.) can be temporarily immobilized if they inhale methane gas. It was found out that when the methane gas reacts with the affected nerves, which causes the nerves to relax very much and the VII's starts to sleep. As for the antidote, gove- Ah! Ah! Help! NO- "
We saw that the reporters were attacked by the zombies and the signal was turned off. Soon after that the network of the whole country became very weak.
"So, the network tower was also destroyed. "said Nakamura. Suddenly Tsubomi-san started shaking and she got up in an weird style.
"Oh no! It has started." Said Mamoru-san. I ran hand held off Tsubomi-san. I saw that there was a ramen shop right beside us.
"Get the cooking gas cylinder from the ramen shop, Nakamura." I shouted. I almost let Tsubomi-senpai go because she was very strong. I was barely holding her. Nakamura came back with the cooking gas cylinder from the ramen shop. But suddenly Tsubomi-san bit my right hand. I still did not let her go and said, "Open the cylinder." Nakamura opened the cylinder and a lot of Methane gas was getting out. I pulled Tsubomi-san's head near the cylinder and she inhaled a lot of Methane gas. Slowly she became weak and fell on the ground. We checked and found that she was alive, we were relieved a lot.
Suddenly I remembered that she bit my right hand. I opened the clothes that were tied on my hand. I saw that the muscles became red due to the bite, but there were no wounds on my hands. I thought that the clothes saved me, but I was wrong because I still did not notice that there was a small scratch occurred on my right hand due to the bite and the virus was inside me.
"Hey listen, the news broadcasted by the radio station was in Tokyo and it got destroyed." Said Mamoru-san.
"That mean Tokyo was also infected." I said.
"But for now, let's worry about our hunger" said Nakamura. After this we noticed that we were really hungry.
"Let's enter that super mall "I said.
"okay." Said everybody.
We entered the shopping mall and took two trollies. In the first one, we kept Tsubomi-san and a Cooking gas or Methane gas cylinder. And in the second cylinder we started taking useful things. Moreover, the shopping mall was looking neat and clean. There were no sing of zombies. But there were no humans either. I batteries for our phone and after taking all our useful things and foods. We had our lunch.
"Hey, our clothes are pretty messed up and it is hard to move in these clothes." Said Nakamura.
"Let's buy some new clothes. "said Mamoru-san.
"Okay. "I replied.
After changing our clothes, I suddenly looked at the exit and saw that there was a zombie at the entrance and it was moving it's head in an weird way. Mamoru-san was about to scream but I covered her mouth with my hands. We both were terrified. I slowly took the baseball bat and I was about to hit the zombie. But I noticed that there were several zombies outside the shopping mall. Making a sound would be foolish.
"Mamoru-san, stay here. I'll get Nakamura." I whispered.
Nakamura was inside the dressing room. He didn't know that there were zombies outside. After he got changed, he came out of the dressing room and said loudly," How do I look?"
"Shut up! Look outside" I whispered.
But it was too late. The zombies noticed us and were running towards us.
