Since I have experience in beating the crap out of the slime undead, it didn’t take me too long to dispose of all of them. After dying, they didn’t leave any carcass and evaporated into the air, leaving not a single trail of slime and a single sight of trace. I flick the wooden signboard to get rid of the slimes that still stick into the surface of the wood and throws it away on the side.

After making sure that there is no threat left behind, I approached the two who have moved to the side of a wall. The woman who is not injured leaned the injured woman to the wall and pulls out a bandage on her medkit bag behind her and started performing a first-aid on it.

”Kaoru, stop… I know I won’t last anymore. I can feel my whole body being heavy and cold. Please, just kill me before I turn…”

”Kana, stop joking! We will survive this trouble together! You promised right? That we will be there together for each other, right?! How can I support anyone if you are gone!?”

I looked at the gloomy situation and sighed. This kind of stuff doesn’t even move me, heck this is just some sort of moving scene I usually see in tear-jerker movies in the past but I fail to invoke any emotion on this situation. Therefore, before everything is too late, I decided to intervene and personally check it.

”Ahem, let me see her wound, I might be able to see if it is infected or not,” I said.

”Huh?” The woman named Kaoru looked at me in confusion.

I checked her wound on the leg. From the looks of it, it was bitten too hard that the flesh on her leg is ready to get torn from the area. The only thing is, it doesn’t appear to be under necrosis which usually occurs after being bitten after personally seeing a few students and other people being killed from undead bites. It is just bleeding too much.

”How many hours since she got bitten?” I asked and looked at Kaoru.

”Around 2 hours ago. That dog almost tore a part of her leg if I didn’t shoot its head with the gun.”

No wonder it is too big for an undead bite, so it was that dog. From my experience, this kind of severe bite can only make the bitten person turn into an undead around a few minutes rather than a few hours. It was clear that she didn’t go to an undead transformation at all.

What makes her weak and pale is not due to the reason that she is about to turn. It was due to the blood flowing on her wound.

”Stop the bleeding of her wound immediately. She is suffering from blood loss and her wound is too severe. We need to call for emergency support and get her out of the battlefield immediately. I can assure you that she is not going to turn into undead and I suspect that she is one of the small number of people in this world who has immunity against the virus,” I said before pulling my radio to call the medics on standby.

After I was done, the woman named Kaoru looked at me with a serious look on her face.

”How can you be so sure that she won’t turn? You don’t seem to have any expertise in the medical field.”

”Indeed I don’t have but I have seen and have killed a few survivors that are about to turn into one. I already can tell if the wound would cause them a necrosis transformation. From what I can tell, she lacks the said transformation. The only thing that makes her similar to a transforming one is the paleness and coldness of her body. This would be due to excess blood loss. If possible, we need to apply pressure to her wound to stop the blood flow but due to a small part of her flesh is about to get torn off, I suggest we cauterize her wound since we lack the necessary equipment and to forcefully close that wound,” I suggested.

Of course, it’s not the best course of action but due to the limited supply we have at the moment and the injury is bleeding. If we don’t stop the bleeding immediately, she will die from blood loss soon.

Kaoru grips her fist hard before she grabs the rope on her side as one of the items being used in case of needing one. 

”Kana, hang in there… rescue will arrive soon,” Kaoru said and begins to tie the rope to Kana’s leg, near the wound.

Kana twitched in pain and screamed though she muffled it by herself by covering her mouth with her mouth. Kaoru continues to wrap the rope tight to Kana’s feet until the lower part of her leg where the wound is currently getting darker from losing blood flow. The blood that also escapes from her wound is also slowing down.

After doing that, Kaoru puts her hand in her pocket and pulls out a Zippo lighter. I didn’t expect her to have one and even prepared to make a fire using the incendiary ammo. Looks like I don’t need to do that anymore.

”This will sting a little bit Kana but please endure it for a while. It won’t take too long.”

Kana nodded and Kaoru started her cauterization operation on the wound. She is about to start her curing operation when I heard a growl somewhere. Pulling out the kukri, I looked around the area until I spotted red eyes on one of the corners of the building where light didn’t reach.

”You won’t get away!” Without hesitation, I throw the kukri to the direction of the red eyes.

The red eyes quickly parried the kukri with its fangs but I am faster than it. When the monster managed to bite the kukri, I am already a few centimeters away from the monster and pulled out the wakizashi from its scabbard and sliced up the monster’s neck.

I didn’t linger there and pick up the kukri and returned to my position earlier. I already pinpointed three of them and one is already killed. There are two more monsters left.

”What was that?!” Kaoru wipes her sweat.

”Don’t bother with it. Focus on the patient. I will deal with the unnecessary things here and keep on cauterizing her wound!”

Even though she didn’t understand at first, she nodded and continued to work on it. I grip the handle of the kukri and glance on its blade. The scratches on its blade is enough to almost break it but it can still last a few more fights. That means the monsters here that I am dealing, is none other than the Bulldogs. These bastards will pay for damaging my weapon and they won’t have time to run away with their tails tucked on their behinds even though they lacked the tails.
