Chapter 18: Rise of the Dead

– Well, the time has come, – I said quietly, “scanning” the alerts.

Meanwhile, the lesson continued, but not for long, about ten minutes. Then he was interrupted by the voice of the director.

– Attention to all students. – he announced loudly on the radio, which suspended the activities of the entire school.

– There’s an emergency at school! All students must evacuate under the supervision of teachers! I repeat, there is an emergency at the school! This is not a drill! All students must evacuate… – the man was talking until he was interrupted by someone with a loud clap.

– No! Save me! Away! Help me! No need! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Help! I’m going to die! MAAMAAAA! – the man shouted in a broken and panicked voice, and what was happening to him at that moment remained a mystery to the whole school… But obviously nothing good.

There was a deathly silence in our classroom. And, probably, in the whole school. Time seemed to stand still. It seemed like one second was an hour long…

At one point, the peace was abruptly disturbed. One moment and the silent school turned into a wasp hive.

– Go ahead! Run! –

– Get out of the way bitch! –

– We’re all going to die! –

– Let me go! LET ME GO! –

People turned into animals. The uncontrolled crowd was rushing, knocking down everything in its path. Hitting and pushing each other has become sharply the norm, and for those who stumbled and found themselves underfoot, you can only pray.

A real crush formed in the corridors. People fell, they were trampled, some were simply crushed, but the crowd went on with corpses trapped in it.

All these deaths were of course noticed and only added fuel to the fire. The panic was getting worse and worse. I am almost sure that most of the people will die because of this orgy, and not from the clutches of zombies.

You know, there’s something fascinating about it…

Civilized people have turned into creatures worse than animals in the shortest period of time. The true faces of some individuals appeared.

As it is already clear, I did not go out with the crowd. Stupidly. Although I am strong, but the strength of hundreds of people is still too much for me. Bye…

At the back of the classroom, in my personal locker, there was my boken. Picking him up, I go in search of Saeko. I know she’s strong, but I’m still worried.

I leave the classroom and almost immediately around the corner I meet the first “client”. It turned out to be a pretty beautiful girl in life. My fan…I even talked to her a couple of times.

We are alone in the corridor, which means that we can quickly get some information.

Walking up to her and standing on the side, I waited for her reaction and ~ and … nothing. It seems, as it was said in the anime, they react only to sound. I walk soundlessly all the time. Let’s try further, but what about the sense of touch?

Here was the effect. As soon as I touched her skin, she immediately rushed at me. Pretty quickly rushed, I want to say.

One quick horizontal swing and the boken hits the temple. As a result, the head of this formerly beautiful little girl safely exploded with a meat firework … And it was a blow in 10% of forces.

Usually in stories after a murder, people get sick. Vomiting. A feeling of panic, fear, disgust, shame. So this doesn’t seem to be about me.

Looking at the corpse of a “girl” who did not have time to live the second decade… The only thing I feel at this moment is pity, nothing more. And that’s probably because we were acquainted. Well, of course, her beauty also played a role in this, it’s stupid not to admit it.

Task

Kill 100 undead units

Reward: 10 Statistics Points

Progress 1 / 100

Hmm… It won’t take long, but further…

With a quick but quiet step, I head towards Saeko’s class, while quietly completing the task, killing the infected along the way.

While I was moving, I noticed through the window how three guys were fighting with one zombie on the bridge. Yes, it was Takashi Komuro, Miyamoto Rei and Hisashi Igo.

And as per the canon, Hisashi was bitten. It was as dumb as possible. Just by the look of this teacher who bit the guy, it was clear that some kind of shit was going on with him.

Blood on clothes, eyes without pupils, gray skin. In the end, the girl pierced his heart, and the creature doesn’t care.

Indeed, let’s grab him with our hands, and not push him away… or better yet, we’ll throw it over the fucking bridge, but no.

You can say that I am strict with them, but this is nonsense. Takashi knew that people get infected through a bite and did not warn anyone.

In the end, there are three of them, is it really impossible to “kick” the poor zombie in a bunch. It seems that according to the code of honor, you need to go out to duel one-on-one with unknown bullshit. It’s funny that the guys let their “love” go to fight and only then, when it got bad, they ran to help. “Genius” is so pret.

And then they climbed onto the roof… Indeed, it’s best to sit there now. The guys clearly do not use the contents of the skull, once they climbed to a high place with one exit and allowed their only exit to be cut off.

When I got to the right class, the girl wasn’t there. But the path of corpses indicated that she was heading towards the infirmary. What a smart girl, I taught her for a reason.

After some time of searching, turning another corner, I noticed Saeko and Shizuku at the end of the corridor, walking quickly towards the teachers’ room. I didn’t even have time to walk two meters when an incredibly loud female screech was heard. And it was clearly Takagi. Such a cry probably attracted all the zombies at school. Let’s hurry.

Breaking into a run, I quickly got to the scene of the accident. Well, what is called an oil painting.

Takagi screams and drills the poor zombie’s brains. Hirano stands in shock. A dozen zombies smartly marched to the sound of screeching and drills.

The most unbearable thing about this picture is that I was blocked by four guys who just stood there and looked at it all in silence. Ray, Takashi, Shizuka, and my Saeko were just staring at it all. I didn’t expect this from my beloved… Then I will “punish” her separately.

There was no time to push or shout. So there is only one option.

The scene of the accident. (From the third person)

A pink-haired girl with two tails purposefully drilled the brains of a poor zombie while screaming loudly.

– NOOO! I’ve had enough! Mommy! – she screamed in panic with tears in her eyes. –

The chubby kid couldn’t move in shock.

Four idols stood in the corridor and also watched the performance in shock.

At one point, a new actor burst into this play.

A two-meter-tall dark-skinned guy with white hair jumped over the “jam” in the corridor. The faces of the four needed to be seen. Extreme fright mixed with surprise on their faces. It’s not every day a two-meter-tall bully jumps over you noiselessly.

Then a quick and effective fight began, more like a perfectly choreographed dance.

With an elegant but quick boken swing, the head of the zombie attacking Takagi was blown up. The pieces of the head were strangely scattered. All in one direction. As if it was planned that way, without hurting anyone.

Then, just as quickly and consistently, other dead were killed. It all took a little less than ten seconds.

After that, the guy turned to the frozen purple-haired girl with a boken.

– Saeko, I didn’t expect this from you. – he said, addressing her.

In turn, the girl quickly realized what was going on and quickly blushed under the guy’s gaze.

–Well… this… – she tried to say something in defense. But somehow it didn’t work out.

– Shut up, beauty. – Shiro told her with amusement in his voice, and then coming up to her quietly in her ear, he added – I will punish you in the evening – After which he sensually kissed her.

The events unfolded too quickly, and the observers no longer knew how to react. And yet….

Shizuka watched their display of intimacy with interest. Rei blushed and shifted her gaze to Takashi, who happily did not notice it and turned away. Kota also blushed and turned away.

As for Takagi… She was still in shock after the incident. Her large, dilated pupils and a face full of fear easily made it clear to everyone present.

– Well, everyone probably knows our paramedic Marikawa. I’m Saeko Busujima 12″A”, and this big guy is my boyfriend Yuki Shiro 12 “C”, she said, after a kiss, with a slightly ruddy face.

– I could introduce myself. Shiro said in her ear, standing behind her, hugging her.

– I am Takashi Komuro 11 “B” –

– That’s right, Busujima-san, it was you who won the national championship two years in a row. My name is Ray Miyamoto from the spear fighting section. –

– Oh, well… my name is Hirano Kota. – said the fat man awkwardly scratching the back of his head.

As for Takagi, she was clearly annoyed by the observed situation, and very much so. The accumulated stress abruptly spilled out like a volcano in the form of hysteria.

– Why are you so calm!? The dead walk and eat the living! We just killed! – she shouted at everyone.

As a result, the other girls hugged her, and she started roaring. A few minutes later, when Takagi felt better, they all went into the teachers’ room.
