The wailings of the dead are all over the place. Although I managed to get rid of most of the undead in the nearby vicinity for my convenience in taking out the Gluttony during Night Rage, their numbers will not diminish just by that. Looking below the ground, I can see the undead running all around the place though they don’t form a horde but only a few groups that amount to around 3-5 undead per group.

The rooftop is also kind of satisfying to stay around for a while since there is rarely any undead who goes up to the rooftop. Although there are occasional breaches like earlier where two undead came in the rooftop, it was very rare to see so I don’t care that much. I just whacked them with the Piyavka Sickle and things are done without many things for me to do.

While staying on the rooftop alone, trying to pass the time till sunrise, there is this temptation to go idle and drowse for a bit. I have no proper rest since the outbreak started and even if I count the time I managed to get a wink of sleep, that is not enough to rejuvenate my whole body. But due to the Night Rage and the gains you can get during one, it is almost impossible for me to get a single rest.

And just like that, it is almost time for the midnight screamer weepers produced by the Banshees. Whoever designed and made sure to create the banshee is sure one cruel fellow. I am bored to the point that I am hoping for some sort of action to occur somewhere else. Without coffee or cola to keep my caffeine bar up for the night, it makes me a little bit drowsy. 

Without anything to do other than wait for some action, I pull out the AR15. Since there is nothing much for me to do, practicing my sniping skills will help in the future since I suck at that area.

Clicking the semi-automatic lock on the AR15, I positioned myself on the rooftop, got myself a good place to lie down for the wait, and done. To avoid distractions, I block the door, which prevents anyone from entering unless they try to take the door down.

Once I got into position, the clock also landed midnight too. When the clock strikes, the screams started. Due to my discovery of preventing the Banshees’ screams from taking down everyone and paralyze almost anyone, making it a dangerous side effect especially in Night Rage as it will be your main lifeline. Everyone from my group already had ear plugs at midnight, allowing them to continue fighting once midnight strikes.

I am curious on what is happening on the group I left behind on the Gymnasium. Have they been able to stop this from happening? I don’t know and I don’t really care. Aftee clearing my thoughts, I started aiming the undead in the surroundings.

Despite that I am wasting bullets in a manner like this, I am just too bored to think of something to do and the satisfaction given to you every time I managed to get a good snipe is quite good to the feel and I think it is awakening my drive.

With the continuous sniping, I managed to obliterate most of the undead I saw. Despite the level of inaccuracy I managed to do, killing a few undead is not a bad try despite myself being more on melee side.

Hovering my scope to the surroundings, I spotted a smog-like creature hovering in the air and is currently following the tracks towards the gymansium. It looks like a ghost though it has a different feel. Aiming the gun to them, I pulled the trigger.

PEW!~(sfx of a muffled gun due to the suppressor.)

Looking at the scope, I managed to hit the ghost-like entity but I didn’t get to kill it. Instead, the moment it recovered, it started looking at my direction and it started screaming while clutching its head. I didn’t stare too long and aimed at it before pulling the trigger. What ever it was, there is no point of it.

PEW!~

This time arround the bullet penetrated the ghost-like creature. The moment it did, the ghost-like creature fell to the ground and had finally died. As its body fell to the ground, the transparent aura it created suddenly disappeared and its previous body slowly fades.

”Just what the hell is that? A ghost? Or a new infected?”

My head and ears hurt.

Everything hurts like hell but luckily, I am the first to recover. Groggily standing up, I looked at everyone who are still unconscious and some are already up but still trying to grasp at things as the ringing sound still echoes in our ears. Checking on my ears, I can still feel the blood pouring out.

CURSES THOSE SCREAMS!

Whatever is causing that every midnight is something I want to smack. If this continues, my ears will rupture and I might go deaf. After several attempts to balance my body out, I have finally regained my balance but still a little bit dizzy.

Since I recovered from that, I went to the little infirmary we set up in case of emergencies and grab the med kit we prepared for this situation since it is one of the most dangerous ones that occurs every night and we can’t afford to continue like this, besides, medicine is running out. We can’t keep on spending medicine for these since it keeps occuring every midnight.

Just as I started moving, one of the girls screamed. My alertness kicked in and I drop the med kit and grab the hilt of my wakizashi. What I witnessed is something else.

A fog-like entity in the shape of a human appeared before us and it is currently ripping one of the girls out. I gritted my teeth and quickly cut the creature in half. 

SLASH!

Using the quick repetitive strike, the fog-like entity died and fell to the ground, revealing that it is a normal zombie.

”A zombie?!”

A zombie shouldn’t be able to get inside here, what is going on?

Just as I was tryibg to figure out what is happening, I then saw everyone panicking as those same entities started killing everyone all of a sudden. They were too fast in my eyes that I have to think twice whether I needed to attack or not. But the slaughter started so fast that I can’t afford to stay still. Right! I need to find Rumi!

Just as I try to find Rumi from the chaos, I stumbled into one dried up corpse on the ground. That’s when I noticed the hairclip on the corpse’s hair. My realization came in late when I notice that it was the clip of Rumi. Checking the corpse, my fear worsen as I saw her dried up corpse.

”AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!”

My best friend died? She died just like that?! Why! Why!”

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ

The anger and hatred I felt on my heart swells. This stupid insects... you are all the worst kinds...

Pulling the Wakizashi, I am going to start killing.

I am quite sure now that I am hearing loud screams coming from the Gymnasium. Is it under attack? I have not seen any breach on their side except the appearance of those fog-like creatures that I shot a few times though I missed a few of them. Are they the cause of those? Are those new infected? Again?

Just how many of those special infected are appearing everyday?! I just killed one and there is another infected with this sh*tty ability once again? Is humanity doomed at the very start?

The screams are all too loud that the amount of undead surrounding the Gymnasium is now getting thicker. Seeing the amount of them trying to break inside, I decided to continue firing.

While I am shooting the infected, I received a transmission of Nanami.

”Kyosei, are you seeing fog-like undead in your location right now?”

”Yes. I just killed a few of them right now.”

”Ah, that’s good. Anyways, don’t underestimate them. We killed most of them but many passed through our defenses.”

”They managed to get inside?! How is everyone?”

”No worries, we already killed them. We have classified them on the name, Nightmares.”
