Chapter 2 - Day 1

The four continued running. They were faster compared to earlier. Now they knew that something wrong had happened to the people and their surroundings. They needed to escape from those crazy people to save themselves.

Heavy-hearted because of the unpleasant incident that happened to their dorm mates, they had to continue. They were disappointed in themselves because they couldn't do anything to help them but to watch as they slowly died and turned into psychopathic individuals.

"Ate Yuki, what's happening?" Michelle asked Yuki, her voice trembling with fear as they kept running.

"I don't know," Yuki replied, lost in her thoughts.

"Just keep running," Michael told his twin sister, tightening his grip on her hand to calm her down.

After almost half an hour of running, they saw the end of Sitio Villasarza. It had a 6-7 feet tall wall and was 2 feet wide.

People climbed the wall one by one to escape any danger that awaited them.

"Climb there!" Deiji shouted to the others over the loud surroundings.

A mixture of screams, shouts, and cries of children filled the air.

"It's too high," Yuki suggested, admitting she couldn't climb any high wall without something to hold onto.

"Michael, you go first," Deiji called out, positioning herself against the wall for Michael to climb up.

"I can't leave Michelle here," Michael declined.

"You're not going to leave her, idiot! You're the one who's going to pull us up," Deiji explained impatiently to Michael.

Michael, in a panic from what he had witnessed, hesitated, but all he could do was move a bit away from Deiji to prepare himself.

He ran and stepped on Deiji's hand, then placed his other foot on her shoulder. However, lacking experience in such matters, he got stuck on Deiji's shoulder, causing her pain in her back and shoulder.

A hand seemed to offer help to Michael, catching his attention.

"Michael, faster!" Yuki shouted, seeing how hurt Deiji was.

"Glenn," Michael murmured and grabbed his classmate's hand.

Deiji felt relieved when Michael got off her shoulder.

"Michelle, it's your turn," she said weakly, pushing Michelle towards Deiji, who was ready again after straightening up.

"Hurry up, they're coming!" Michael shouted from above.

Michelle hurriedly stepped on Deiji's hand and then on her shoulder. Glenn helped Michael pull his twin sister up.

"They're coming," Glenn said nervously when he saw several bloodied people running towards them. But it was enough for Yuki and Deiji to hear.

"Yuki!" Deiji shouted to Yuki, who was frozen upon hearing Glenn's words. She seemed to be thinking again about what would happen to her if they caught her.

"Yuki!"

"Ate Yuki!" the three of them shouted together, snapping her back to reality. She wanted to slap herself for wasting time for Deiji's safety, who would be the last to climb because of them.

"Sorry," Yuki apologized and stepped on Deiji's palm before stepping on her shoulder.

She reached her hand to Glenn and Michael, who were waiting to pull her up. She was surprised when Deiji suddenly pushed her up.

Once she was up, she was shocked to see a bloodied man, apparently injured, suddenly rush towards Deiji.

"Deiji!" Yuki shouted in fear. Fortunately, she managed to dodge the man's attack, who seemed to be out of his mind.

Deiji grabbed a stick near her and hit him in the face. She was surprised when it didn't affect him, and the stick just broke.

In her shock, she couldn't move her feet to avoid the next attack, so she just closed her eyes.

Deiji expected to be bitten, just like she saw the others do to their victims. But she felt nothing. When she opened her eyes, she saw Glenn kicking the man away from her.

"You first," Glenn said to her, positioning himself like she did before to climb up.

Deiji nodded and stepped back a bit to gain momentum to climb up. She signaled to her friends to move aside as she would be the one to climb last.

Before turning around, she saw the bloodied woman heading towards her, so she ran and stepped on Glenn's palm and then on his shoulder to climb up. Unlike Michael, she climbed without any difficulty.

Michael and Deiji reached out their hands to Glenn to help him climb up, but he refused and faced the woman who attacked Deiji.

He grabbed her from behind and threw her towards the wall, waiting for her to stand up before running and jumping behind her, easily climbing up without any struggle.

The four breathed a sigh of relief when Glenn climbed up.

"Uwuahhh!" They all looked at the sudden cry of a baby nearby.

They saw a woman in her thirties with a baby in her arms. The woman was crying along with her baby as they looked down.

They felt a sense of dread as they saw a man struggling to climb the wall, only to be attacked and devoured by the crazed people below.

Michelle hugged Yuki tightly out of fear and sadness.

Soon after, the man fell, whom they presumed to be the woman's husband.

"He's dead," Glenn calmly informed the woman holding the baby.

The woman cried even harder, and her baby's cries mingled with hers as they looked down.

The zombies started to gather around the woman and her baby.

The girl who was bitten earlier looked at Yuki, who also looked back at her.

"I'm going to turn too, right?" she asked tearfully, but the five remained silent, which made the woman cry even more.

"Can you hold my baby?" the woman suddenly asked Yuki.

Without hesitation, Yuki slowly took the baby from her. The woman stood up, tears streaming down her face.

"Please. Protect her," she said before jumping towards the horde of zombies.

They all looked away as the woman was devoured by the crazed crowd.
