They had just finished breakfast when Ryo, with a firm hand, insisted Sachiko join him outside. Though she knew the zombies wouldn't harm her as long as Ryo was present, commanding them, a flicker of fear still lingered in her mind. The sight of so many zombies always made her uneasy, but Ryo's presence gave her strength.
Sachiko reluctantly grabbed her phone, notebook, and pen, knowing Ryo wanted her to take notes. She followed him outside, with Sayako, as always, trailing closely behind Ryo like a silent guardian.
The morning air was cool and crisp, and Sachiko stretched her body, feeling her muscles loosen up as they stepped outside the base. Her eyes were immediately drawn to the mass of zombies gathered around. The sheer number of them seemed to have grown, with more and more appearing each day. It was a chilling sight, yet none of them made any move toward her.
