Entering the open gates of the school, it revealed to me the massive chaos that occurred here during the first day of the outbreak. Blood, rotting flesh, dismembered parts of the bodies of unknown individuals and wreck caused by panic are all scattered all around the place. Not only that but the putrid smell is getting bad as I go deeper in the campus. Just how bad did the attack happened in here to cause this massive slaughter?

I am just walking casually as the dead around here are no longer functional. Deeper into the ground floor, I saw some of the undead bodies on the floor and all of them are dead with heads bashed into the ground. Examining the dead body parts on the floor shows that these dead bodies are just recent. The blood splattered on the floor and the dismembered parts are still too fresh, meaning someone else is currently here or just recently been here.

As soon as I stood up, I spotted one Stalker on the side of the hallway and as I had an eye contact to it, it didn’t waste it’s time and lunge forward to me. But unlike the Stalkers during Night Rage, the Stalkers during the day is not that fast. 

While the Stalker is in the air, I pulled out the handheld flashlight I kept inside my pocket and shine it to the Stalker.

”SKREEEEEEE!!!”

The moment the Stalker covered it’s face, I quickly pull out the Piyavka Sickle and deal the blow to the Stalker, decapitating it in the process. It’s body fell to the floor while the head rolls to the ground. Flicking the blood on the sickle, I looked around for any potential threats on the way. Good thing that was the only ambush that happened to me.

Before I made my move, the music in my headphones stopped and Nanami’s voice chimes in.

”Are you already inside Kyosei?”

”Yes. Just managed to kil a Stalker just now. What’s up?”

”I will be contacting you again once I see you on the designated location of the school. For now, you should explore the place and stragetically do your job before going back. If you said there is a Stalker inside, I will assume there are more than one of them in there. Be careful and watch your surroundings. Also, don’t break the prototype.”

”Got it.”

The voice transmission stopped and the music in my headphones returns. With that said, I investigate the ground floor first. The hallway has a bunch of dead bodies and splattered blood creating a gory atmosphere on its hallways. There are some of those dead bodies to have dismembered parts of their limbs but are still alive waiting on the floor too but because I don’t want to have a problem during emergencies, I didn’t leave every moving undead moving even if they pose no threat anymore unless approached.

With the ground floor lacking any good signs of life I decided to climb up to the second floor and check it out, following a trail of blood that went up to the stairs up to the second floor. Since the blood is still fresh, that means there is something or someone dragged to the next floor.

Day 11: 01:43 P.M

Osaka: Shitennoji Gakuen Junior and Senior High School: Second Floor

Melee: Brass Knuckles, Wakizashi, Kitchen Cleaver(Repaired and Enhanced), Piyavka Sickle

Guns: AR15(Scope and Suppressor attached) Colt 45, Beretta M9 Pistol, Hunting Shotgun

Compared to the ground floor, the second floor has a variety of moving undead on the hallways, it must be the remnants of the undead that attacked during the Night Rage as most of them are not wearing the uniform of the school and some are just normal citizens.

As I explore the hallway, a clanging sound rang around in the second floor, which immediately alerted the undead to move into the source of the sound. If my assumption is correct, the sound earlier might be a sort of decoy to lure the undead or they might have accidentally caused the sound while looting or investigating something.

However, it is not my job to look for survivors, my goal is to put the Prototype to the rooftop, set it up, then leave. Taking a survivor is not even mandatory so that means I would either choose to help them or ignore them depending on their behavior and situation.

While looking for the hallway to the third floor, I hear footsteps running from the left hallway.

”Faster Rumi! That guy is still chasing us!”

”I don’t want to die, Aika!”

”Stop whining! Keep on running for your life!”

The moment they turn to the corner where I was standing, I saw two female students wearing the uniform of Shitennoji Gakuen running, one is carrying a box full of food and other miscellaneous items while the other is carrying a bloody metal baseball bat that is already getting to its very limit. Behind them is none other than a Stalker running while chasing them.

”MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!” the female carrying a baseball bat said without even bothering to see she is saying that into and just continue running to escape the Stalker. As the two passed by, the Stalker’s attention shifted to me who is the only one not running behind.

”What an annoying bastard,” I muttered before pulling the piyavka sickle and waited for the Stalker to lunge an attack.

SWISH!

The feral Stalker passed by to me before putting the Piyavka Weapon back behind me. The undead Stalker did not just bowed down to the ground, it was also missing a head after cleanly cut off by my Piyavka. The moment the body slumped down, the Stalker immediately died, now it is missing a head and ready to be disposed.

The two just continued running and ignored me. I don’t even intend to rescue them. Since the two didn’t look back, I continue to the hallways, only to find out that the stairwell to the next floor is now currently jam packed with the undead. I scratch my head and sighed before pulling out my cleaver and the piyavka sickle.

”Ugh, this is too annoying. I swear this is just too tiresome. Why is Nanami’s mission always involve fighting the undead. Damn it.”

Day 11: 1:50 P.M

Osaka: Shitennoji Gakuen Junior and Senior High School: Second Floor

Melee: Battered Baseball Bat, Kitchen knife

Gun: None

[Aika’s view]

We just continue running for our lives with Rumi carrying the box of food supplies for the other girls waiting for us. That accursed creature is the main threat we have in this school and once we are spotted, we are always ended up being chased. If we are lucky enough, we will get to escape from them without anyone dying though if bad luck clings, death is the only option.

We just keep on running until Rumi sprained her leg after running for too long. Luckily for us, the abomination chasing us is no longer following around.

”Whew, I think we managed to outrun it!” I wiped the sweat in my forehead. This supply run wouldn’t be so dangerous if we didn’t get to disturb the black monster.

”Waaaahhhhh! I don’t want to do the supply run anymore!” Rumi cried.

”Hush! Stop bawling yourself! We can’t afford those zombies notice us!” I consoled Rumi.

”I am sorry. I am just sick of this new lifestyle we have. Soon enough, we will run out of food. The food reserve in our canteen is getting thin and the zombies always roam at morning and go wild at night. At this rate, all of us will become zombies or die in starvation soon!”

”Damn it! Stop your pessimistic side, Rumi! Go, let’s get out of here before those zombies hear you bawling your eyes out! We will survive and I am sure of it! We can’t give up hope and wait for rescue!”

Although I said that, I am already on the verge of falling to despair. This life came unexpectedly, and we saw many of our friends die one by one in front of our eyes. The future is quite bleak and I am unsure if there is any rescue coming.

”Speaking of rescue, didn’t we pass by a guy earlier while running away from that abomination earlier? You even shouted out of the way before we pass on him through!”

When Rumi said that, I just remembered that someone else is indeed standing on the other end of the hallway as we passed through.

”Wait, so that means someone else from the outside has come here and is trying to get us out?”

But then, I remembered that we left that person behind with the abomination. If that is the case, isn’t he dead by now?
