Chapter 36 – Academy Apocalypse (7)
It was Seo-joon who opened the mouth first.
“First I will tell you what I know. 〈 bastards 〉… I think it’s true that they are zombies, but in reality it’s not a game or a movie, so I just call them 〈 guys 〉. They attack people, usually by grabbing them and biting them to death with their teeth. And if you get bitten, you die as it is, or you get sick little by little and then suddenly vomit blood and die.”
At Seojun’s words, Ray’s complexion darkened.
Seo-joon saw it, but he pretended not to notice.
“When you see that, it is judged that they are contagious. There is a high probability that something like a bacterium or virus is at work.”
“… It’s most likely a blood infection. Otherwise, this strange rate of infection cannot be explained.”
Saya Takagi responded.
There must have been some guys who were running away unscathed. But he’s all dead. If so, there had to be other factors besides grabbing and biting them.
And that’s blood.
Blood is a liquid In other words, there is a strong possibility of infecting people by jumping into wounds or mouths and entering blood vessels through mucous membranes.
Direct infection through the teeth, and infection through the blood.
I think these two are the core of infection.
“In addition, they have strong muscles. At least I think I’ve become more than twice as strong as when I was a normal human. It is presumed that the limiter in the brain was released and became stronger.”
There is no way that an old man in his 60s who has lived a normal life can defeat a man in his late teens who trained his body through karate by force.
And what about the classroom door?
They could easily break through the classroom door.
It is clear that he has strength beyond that of an ordinary human.
“On the other hand, it is slow. Even if you just run, you can shake off and run away. It’s hard to escape once you get caught, but that’s okay if you don’t get caught. I have a low intelligence, so I can only grab and bite. And if the head is a weak point, if you hit the head hard, stop the action. I didn’t do a proper investigation, so that’s all I know.”
“It’s my turn this time.”
When Seo-jun finished talking, he received a heartbreak as if Saya had been waiting for him.
“What I didn’t know was that they have no senses except hearing. I tried an experiment, but there was no reaction even when a wet rag was hit on the body. On the other hand, it made a noise in time with the locker, so it tried to attack it.”
“That’s good information.”
After that, as I talked about the facts I knew, it was evening time before I knew it.
Looking out the window at the setting sun, Seo-jun said to his party.
“So, is everyone ready?”
At his question, they immediately grabbed their weapons.
Satisfied with that appearance, Seo-jun also pulled out his sword.
“Which way should I go outside?”
“The parking lot is closest to the main entrance. You should go out there.”
Drooling.
Seo-joon opened the door to the teachers’ room and ran out shouting.
“The goal is to reach the minibus in the parking lot. Come on!”
That’s right!
Seo-joon and his party moved in earnest.
***
Standing at the forefront, Seo-joon proceeded to slaughter them without hesitation.
One-shot death.
Each time his sword drew a trajectory, their necks flew through the air. The party who saw that overwhelming dance honestly couldn’t help but admire.
In particular, Takagi Saya’s reaction, who had not been able to see his skills properly because of his mental control, was intense.
“Um, is that really human?”
Unlike the ones in the movies or cartoons.
The human neck bones were very strong. And with a single knife… It was not a skill that ordinary people could do, rather than receiving the force of gravity from top to bottom, to cut sideways.
What surprised me even more was that Seo-joon swung the sword with one hand.
In the first place, a weapon is, of course, more powerful when wielded with two hands than with one.
By the way, do you cut the neck bone with one hand?
Judging from Takagi Saya’s common sense, Seo-joon’s appearance was truly alien. However, she felt more reassured than fear.
Because such a monstrous person was their colleague!
“This is true. We have nothing to do.”
Saeko smiled.
Despite her words, she also felt reassured seeing Seo-joon.
When she saw her, who had been practicing her kendo for a long time, Seo-jun’s swordsmanship skills were impeccable. No. Rather, it was as if it had already been completed.
A swordsmanship that only exists to kill the enemy.
I don’t know where in Japan such a school was, but I felt like I was opening my eyes.
‘… That’s not power It’s just amazing.’
In addition, from Saeko’s point of view, it seemed that Seo-joon hadn’t turned on his power yet.
His expression was extremely comfortable, and he didn’t even shed a single drop of sweat, which is common even during strenuous exercise. In other words, there is still room for it.
Even she, who has trained in her kendo skills, is barely able to follow her with her eyes.
Can you get better with a move like that?
‘It’s exciting.’
She felt heat gathering in her own lower abdomen.
Saeko Busujima In all her life, no man had ever made me feel like this.
She always wanted a man who was stronger than she was, worthy of her support, and someone she wanted to be with for the rest of her life.
And now.
A suitable person appeared in front of him.
She decided to talk to Seo-jun if she had the chance, and for now, she focused on the reality that was right in front of her.
“There is someone.”
Seojun, who was going down the stairs, hesitated.
In his line of sight were five survivors surrounded by them.
Seo-joon immediately rushed in and quickly slaughtered them. It took only 5 seconds for the seven monsters surrounding the survivors to be annihilated.
“Omg!!”
The survivor held his breath at that miraculous movement.
When Seo-jun, who lightly brushed off the blood, winked at him, another Saeko grabbed his wooden sword and stepped forward.
“You. Has anyone been bitten?”
“Oh no! Really! Trust me!”
“I think it’s really good.”
Ray nodded as he approached and looked at the survivors.
As she said, if she was bitten somewhere, it would be obvious. However, their manners were very neat.
“We are going to escape the school. What will you guys do?”
“I-we will follow you too!”
“Okay. Takagi: Explain to the guys their characteristics. I’ll do some maintenance in the meantime.”
“Why me…”
Saya mumbles at Seo-jun’s words.
At that, Seo-jun smiled at her and said to her.
“Well, at times like this, the only person I can trust is you. Please.”
“… Ugh! Oh, I got it!”
Blushing, she explained to her survivors.
Then, while resting for a while, the party who finished maintenance approached the front door. The main gate was full of students who tried to escape but turned into bastards.
“Originally, you could just break through, but…”
Seojun muttered.
With his skills, he was able to break through and reach the bus.
But the problem is the guys outside the front door. As there were many people who fled outside, the outside including the playground was full of them.
Can Seo-joon protect everyone and get to the bus in front of the waves of them?
‘… Well, I don’t think it’s impossible.’
Seojun pondered for a moment.
And then came to a conclusion.
‘It pierces quickly.’
Anyway, one person’s mistake here will run anyway.
Therefore, it was judged that it was better for him to move quickly while protecting only those he could protect, without having to suffer for nothing.
“From now on, we will make a frontal breakthrough. I am in the lead.”
“Then I will follow. After me, Takagi, who has no fighting ability, will follow, and the rest should form a formation in a way that protects them as much as possible.”
Saeko added an opinion.
Those who nodded formed formation.
“Okay then, don’t be late and follow me.”
After saying that, Seojun kicked the ground.
Seo-joon’s single sword, rushing at a different speed than before, is swung. Three of them fell with just one slash.
Seo-joon, who took care of the three in less than a second, pierced the path to the bus.
Their party followed with all their might. I think I am truly fortunate to have met Seojun.
***
On the way to the bus.
The survivors, who had been following behind and joined later, were exhausted and caught by them one by one.
And when one of the last two, a male student named Takuzo, was captured, his girlfriend, a female student, ran towards him.
“Give up! It’s no use running away after being bitten!”
“… I can’t give up on Takujou.”
“Hey, wait!”
Saya called for her, but she went to Takujo’s side as she was being eaten.
Seeing that, Saya screamed as if squeezed.
“Why! Why!! You told me right! Why are you going back! I can not believe it!”
Rei made a dark expression at her cry, and Shizuka muttered.
“I think I know. If the whole world becomes like this… It’s easier to die.”
“Are you still a doctor?!”
“Calm down, Takagi.”
Seo-joon, who came back through her bow before she knew it, said to her.
“Yes, who are you and what right do you have to stop me!”
“Rather than rights, arguing here only makes things more dangerous. If it’s a story, I’ll listen to it as much as I want later, so for now, let’s prioritize going to a safe place. Got it?”
“Ugh… ! Oh, I got it!”
So Seo-jun and his party succeeded in boarding the bus.
Hirano immediately settled down at one of the windows and muttered while aiming outside.
“Get your eyesight! Check body safety! Ready to shoot!”
“You fat otaku! It’s okay, so shoot quickly!”
Burrung!!
Startup that takes.
Seojun and Saeko, who had been blocking them from approaching from the outside, confirmed that everyone was on board and got on the bus themselves.
“Hey, it’s so different from my car. Er, that’s it… The accelerator, the brake, and this is a clutch?”
“Then close the door.”
“… Wait!!”
As Seo-jun was about to close the door, he heard someone’s cry in his ear.
As I looked in that direction, a group of people were running toward the bus.
‘Oh, right. That guy was there.’
A skinny man in a suit at the front of the crowd.
His name is Koichi Shidou (紫藤 浩一). He was a teacher at this school, a sociopath and the main villain of Gakuen Apocalypse.
