Pain.
The continuous pain that penetrates him.
The pain that continuously gnaws at him repeatedly.
The pain that almost makes him faint for a moment.
And that's what Rover is experiencing right now, after the complex incident. Rover is currently in a somewhat unpredictable condition.
Instead of being sad and drowning in sorrow over the departure of Lily, whom he had just met, he remains expressionless as if nothing had happened and continues his journey towards the sports building while carrying Lily's body in his arms.
His deep black pupils reflect the extraordinary chaos happening.
Many flames erupt everywhere.
Endless screams and cries.
Many creatures devouring or being devoured by others.
Blood and body parts scattered everywhere.
And rain falling soaking all creatures in the area, accompanied by black clouds and lightning striking.
However, despite seeing all of these things, Rover remains calm and continues running towards the sports building with one hand supporting Lily's body wrapped in a trench coat and the other holding a strong axe.
Rover continuously charges and relentlessly slashes when monsters obstruct his path.
Often he manages to save some lives, and increases the group of humans following him from behind.
A muscular and disheveled man who appears random for a student but handsome is trying to seduce one of the girls in the school's empty hallway. This man's name is Austin Smith, and he is a playboy as well as the head of security department in the student council (SC).
Before the apocalypse, he was a naughty person who always tried to seduce beautiful girls he met in order to sleep with them. Besides his handsomeness, he was a quite wealthy person so some women idolized him and tried to date him.
However, after the world changed, Austin had turned into a fighter because he had no choice. And now, he is at level 4 and can directly face some zombies.
He is now also in Rover's group after being rescued by him a while ago.
Austin helps to kill the zombies chasing them using a pistol and aiming at their heads.
"Dooor"
"Dooor"
"Dooor"
The zombie's head immediately explodes when one of the bullets hits its forehead and penetrates it, causing it to burst into pasta.
"bastard, why do these cursed creatures never end. And when will we arrive?"
But before anyone could answer Austin's question, someone immediately stabbed him from behind, causing Austin's body to collapse and be left to be eaten by the zombies chasing from behind.
Instantly everyone in the Rover group panicked and began to scatter. Many of them ran aimlessly after witnessing the horrifying incident, while others realized what was happening and approached Rover for help.
The students who had previously run away from the group were immediately divided into two by a dark shadow passing through them. The shadow moved so quickly that no one could perceive it. When the creature wanted to leave the scene, it looked around and saw Rover supporting Lily's body in front. And as if finding the prey it had been waiting for, the creature swiftly lunged forward to attack Rover.
Feeling chills all over his body, Rover quickly activated Blink backward to avoid the sudden onslaught. The creature, surprised to see its opponent, tried to stop but unfortunately could not avoid it because the surface it stepped on was wet from the rain and it lost control of its speed, crashing into the wall behind and shattering it. Without waiting for the creature to rise, Rover used Blink three times towards the monster and quickly swung his kayak with all his strength. As a result, the monster immediately split into two, revealing its organs and blood spraying and spilling onto the building's floor.

Seeing a series of notifications appearing before him, Rover immediately ignored them as he was not interested and began to leave the creature that had been split in half in that place.
After leaving the building, Rover returned to the previous location and began to ask one of the students he had saved about the rift that occurred within the group.
And after investigating it, it turns out that the students were divided and panicked earlier because one of the students killed Austin from behind and then stayed at the scene and continued to stab the victim to death. Not knowing whether he was still alive or not, but seeing the chaotic condition around. The student may not be able to survive unless he has the ability to survive. And for the students who panicked and fled without direction, they were killed by the spider variant monsters that he had just fought earlier.
Hearing that information from one of the students, Rover could only pray for them to rest in peace.
Actually, it's not his fault for letting it happen and not immediately solving the problem caused by themselves. At this point, it is actually impossible for him to survive until now. How could he not, he had to deal with all kinds of monsters that wanted to kill the students who were his own kind. Then he had to protect Lily's body while supporting her with one hand, which added difficulty to survive. And then, he also had to stay conscious because of the increasing wounds on his body which made him more painful every moment. Even though the attacks he received did not come from zombies, he still had to be cautious and careful not to die in a miserable way in the following moments.
With all the difficulties he faced, it is still a blessing to survive. Compared to others, they might go crazy because of the pressure they have to bear when leading a number of survivors to a safe place. "Let's keep moving, we need to get to the sports building. Only then can we rest," he said, turning around and leading the way.
The remaining survivors of the incident immediately followed the person in front of them and dared not look back. After what happened, they were afraid and always looked in all directions because the monsters could possibly attack them from all directions.
