"Am I dreaming? Who is that new girl?" Rodner asked.
"She is Christine, my friend before." Loraine explained.
"Hey."
"Where did she came from? How did she entered our place?"
"We let her in."
"Don't tell anyone."
"How did you survive the place outside?"
Rodner seems is curious about the girl that she asked a lot of questions. Christine on the other hand, is fine satisfying those curiosity. She thought for a while before answering.
"It started when I was in school with my classmates, I was watching some videos when suddenly we heard screaming on the 1st floor. I checked it myself to prove to my classmates that I'am brave when a zombie appeared in my sight. It is devouring a teacher. I grab my laser gun when suddenly a teacher grab my hand and asked for where I got the gun. I told her to stop. The zombie heard her voice. I aim for the head of the zombie but I can't shoot it. The zombie pushed me into the wall leaving me a little bit dizzy. The zombie got close to me when I grab the gun and shoot it leaving it beheaded. I ran as fast as I could. I didn't notice that I'am running outside of our school. Then something hit me. A survivor. Her name is Rias. She hit me with a wood. She said that she needs to do that because my steps are attracting the zombies. We survived for a few days when a mutant zombie attack us. It is a huge zombie. We all got separated after that. I didn't know if Rias is still alive by now. In the end, I wandered in this secured school."
Christine somehow looks down. Well I can't blame her after what happened. But now, there's this mutant zombie that bothers me. Did the monsters just evolved
"Just how big is this 'mutant zombie'?"
I asked in curiosity. Christine the started to think carefully. It seems like she doesn't remember it too much.
"Never mind. Don't take answer it for now... Have a rest first."
"Yeah..."
Me, Ahllen and Rodner went back to our rooms. We then decided to discuss what to do at this point.
"So... If this mutant zombie is really huge, do you think there's a way to kill it?"
Ahllen started to conversation. Rodner then shared his thoughts to us while I happened to do the same thing after. It was almost an hour passed when we decided to call it a day.
"We talked a lot today huh. It's already dark outside."
"Yeah. Maybe we should rest now?"
Suddenly, a smashing noise can be heard from afar. It seems like it came from one of the corners of our school.
"What was that?"
"Maybe it was the mutant zombie!"
I went to the hallway of the building to check on what's happening. Smoke is blocking my view. It's hard to look but I could feel something enormous.
Slowly, the smoke faded. I felt scared and nervous upon seeing it. Indeed, it was really the mutant zombie. The words fit in it's appearance. It was as huge as a lamp post. Besides it's size, it also has a huge improvement in its muscular system. It's body just looks like a body building person.
The mutant zombie managed to get in. Just how did it evolved in a few days? What should we do now? Is this the end for us?
"That looks like the one that attacked us!"
"Let's go down the school grounds! Staying in a high building is dangerous for us now!"
We went down the staircase. Some students followed us and it's another complete chaos. Fear envelops us.
I started to look around to find some scattered weapon. I saw some sort of rifle with a weird look. It came from one of the smashed guards.
I run towards the gun to help the guards. They were trying to hold off the mutant zombie. The laser doesn't affect it. Is there even a weakness for it?
I held my breath and stopped for a second. I decided to aim at the mutant zombie. When I was about pull the trigger, someone shouted.
"Aim for the chest!"
I was shocked but, I don't have a choice but to try. I aimed at the chest and pulled the trigger.
The rifle that I'm using somehow looks different from the others. In my surprise, it uses a metal bullets. I guess there's still some guns that haven't been affected by the modernization.
The mutant zombie stopped moving. Slowly, it knelt on the ground in pain. Finally, it lay on the ground.
Blood flooded the surroundings of the zombie. The metal barricade that protects us from the outside world has been smashed through. Zombies would keep on coming.
I went forward to the broken part of the metal. It was a peaceful world outside. No smokes, fire or anything weird. Except, there are zombies that lurking around.
I grabbed my laser pistol as I can't control the rifle's force too much. I started shooting together with the guards to hold the zombies off.
"Barricade the opening!"
Someone shouted. It wasn't that long when guards carrying a huge metal came by. They started placing the metal and burned the end part to stick it on the main wall.
It was already night time when we finished. It was an exhausting day. I killed a lot of those monsters. I ended up wasting all the bullets, grabbed a wood on the corner and started smashing some of them.
I was sitting here in the middle of the school ground in exhaustion. Some of the guards did the same thing as me.
I stood up and decided to went back to my room. On my way, I noticed the girl that has been helping us the whole time. She's skillful in the battle earlier. Everyone could see that.
She has a long hair and in a pony tail. She's wearing some formal clothes which is a little bit weird. I went straight to her for helping me earlier on telling me where to shoot the mutant zombie.
"Thank you miss?"
"Rias."
She smiled.
