Flicking the Kitchen Cleaver and my fists off the blood, I look at the carnage I have done. The dead bodies of the undead that I have killed are all littered on the floor with the blood and flesh scattered. It took me a few minutes before I managed to kill them all due to how many of them cluttered after the noise that occurred earlier, causing them to be attracted to that.

It isn’t that hard to finish them all as they are all normal undead and if things got worse, I can just blast them off with the shotgun I kept inside the backpack for easy clearing as the pistols and AR15 would just be a waste of bullets if ever I use them in close range and tight space like the hallway.

Anyways, after clearing them all out, I have finally seen what the cause of the ruckus and it was a few bottles of juice and milk as it got splattered on the floor. The sound of that is enough to cause the mindless undead to take action and get to the source of the sound. Base on these, I assume thay the two who passed by me earlier are the responsible for these though I won’t blame them as they are being chased by a Stalker, though I wonder how did they managed to provoke a creature that is quite passive at first to act like a feral undead.

Now that things are over, I went up into the the third floor and continue my way up to the rooftop and get the task done before the Night Rage comes kicking in and wreck my job.

Day 11: 1:54 P.M

Osaka: Shitennoji Gakuen Junior and Senior High School: Way to the Gymnasium

Melee: Battered Baseball Bat, Kitchen knife

Gun: None

Oddly enough, there are less zombies appearing to disrupt our way back to the base. I was more expecting to meet a lot of them on the ground floor but there are none of them left standing aside from a few that came inside the building. All the others are all down to the ground, with their heads either bashed off or cleanly cut off from their necks. It was a bloody mess but it is a welcomed seeing that this is a very ideal time for us to get back without fighting back.

”Did you kill these guys before? I am sure we just passed by them before,” Rumi said and pointed on the three headless corpses.

”No, I didn’t. They are quite easy to bypass though so I didn’t bother killing them,” I answered.

These three guys were our trio male teachers who were dubbed as the heartthrob trio as they have good looks before everything started. When the apocalypse started, they were our first people who started ditching the other teachers to save their own hides though they ended up dead after they got bitten by the zombies. I have a crush on one of them before but after witnessing their shameful behavior, I was glad I didn’t become a complete fan girl on them. They were complete assholes.

When they became zombies, they were now a reminder of our old days before the outbreak started. We just left them behind so that we can toy with them once in a while. But to see them without their rotten faces seems new to me.

’Did that guy from earlier did these?’

As we are walking on further, we found their heads which means their heads fell and rolled to the ground after they were decapitated. It was a clean cut which means its not a blunt weapon used but a sharp one. That means the guy behind this is clearly an expert and has a good amount of weapons in his arsenal.

When we arrived in front of the gymnasium, I stopped and looked at Rumi.

”What’s wrong Aika? Hurry up, we have to get back inside and prepare for the night.”

”You should go inside first. I am going back and check on the guy earlier.”

”Huh? Aika?!”

Before Rumi can complain, I decided to return to the main building and find that man from earlier and check if he indeed died from the attack. I know this is a very dangerous move but my instincts tells me something else.

Day 11: 2:09 P.M

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

Melee: Battered Baseball Bat, Kitchen knife

Gun: None

Holding the battered baseball bat that I doubt can handle a few more hits, I slowly made my way to the hallway where I remembered the time we lost that abomination. If that monster killed the guy, that abomination would be here and I will have to run for my life and beg for my legs to run faster as it is my only salvation if ever that occurs.

Peeking on the corner, my eyes went wide when the face of the abomination and my face went face to face.

”WAAAH!”

I let out a scream and panicked but then I realized, not a single undead arrived. Also, the face of the abomination I saw is only the head. The body is separated and is currently slumping on the floor, dead and no longer exudes the danger it shows before. It was so surprising for me since this guy has ripped some of my friends and some schoolmates assigned in the supply run, never coming back. To see it dead seems like it gives me comfort of its death.

Not only that, despite the fact that I screamed loudly that my squeal echoed in the hallways, not a single zombie came rushing in. Aside from that, the man is nowhere to be found except the footprints on the floor from the blood of the abomination. Although some of the prints are fade and barely recognizable, I managed to follow through and arrive to the stairs area where we spilled a few bottles of milk and beverages that is inside a glass container.

I am expecting a horde of those zombies but what I saw is the gruesome massacre that occured. The hallway is painted pale red while the ground scatters different body parts. One word is enough to describe it and that is brutal. I have killed a few of those zombies before but not to the point of reducing them all to a mushy state like this where you will no longer recognize whose body part is this and whose who are currently mixed in.

As the footprints continue to the next floor, I have a little bit of bad feeling on who I will be meeting. What if I have run into a psychopath? I also have second thoughts about as this will be the first time I will be climbing this area after the apocalypse has occurred.

Day 11: 02:17 P.M

Osaka: Shitennoji Junior and Senior High School: Third 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

What I expected to be a normal school overrun by the undead ended up becoming a den of mutated. Not only do I see the Stalkers, there were also pukers and the pods of those damnable mosquitoes that always manifest at Night Rage unless their spawns are killed. Aside from that, there is one of those mutated I have noticed. It was so fat that the flesh dangling on its body looked disgusting to look at. 

It looks like a bloater but it lacks the definition of being a bloater as this guy doesn’t looked like bloated. In fact, I can easily confirm that it is fat and skin. Not only that, it is moving like a spider and walks on all fours with all the fat and excess skin dangling on its body. Even for someone like me who rarely shows disgust on gory scenes and other things that usually causes people to feel the nausea, just looking at that infected moving with its rotten flesh dangling is enough to disgust me and wanted to bleach my eyes to remove it completely on my head.

The way I describe the creature is not enough for me to express my disgust. It was so disgusting I won’t hesitate to eliminate the creature if I was given a choice. But since it is a new undead, I have to record it using the video platform and get rid of it before things go wrong.

My job to install the prototype might be more than just a little job for me to complete.

”Time to die.”
