Apocalypse: Apparently, I Can See Zombies

"I don't agree to this!!"

Yoon-min yelled and quickly stormed over to confront Ye-jun.

"It doesn't matter if you agree or not, we had a vote and the majority voted that he's the best candidate to lead the monsters away."

Ye-jun said and Yoon-min's expression became frustrated. He shoved Ye-jun's shoulder and said aggressively.

"I'm not letting you send my friend to his death. You were the one who came up with this selfish plan so why aren't you the one volunteering to lead the zombies away? Is your title of Class President just for show? Huh?"

Yoon-min shoved Ye-jun once more, but at that moment one of Ye-jun's friends stepped forward and shoved him back while saying.

"Hey, what's your problem? Are you saying that no one but your friends should be sacrificed? Who's the selfish one here, huh?"

The youth stepped forward to shove Yoon-min again but stopped when Micah, standing behind Yoon-min, cast a murderous glare towards him.

Ye-jun pulled back his friend and while fixing his glasses he looked at Yoon-min and calmly retorted.

"Someone has to stay back and lead everyone through this disaster. Plus, if there is anyone among us who is more qualified for this task it's the so-called Mr. Multitalented."

Hearing Ye-jun's words, the students of class 1A couldn't help but agree in their hearts. That was the reason most of them choose Jin-woo. Him taking on so many people at once had left a deep impression on them. The only other person they could think of to do this besides him was Seo-joon since he was considered a track star athlete.

However, it would take more than just being a fast runner to survive being bait for a zombie hoard. In addition to Jin-woo being a decent runner from what they saw in the gymnasium, he could also defend himself well.

The students of class 1A didn't choose Jin-woo on a whim or because of his reputation, he truly was the most capable one among them. Some even thought that sending him away instead of making him stay here and help them was a bad decision.

Yoon-min knew all of this, but he still worried about Jin-woo's safety. His condition was extremely unpredictable because of his illness— who knows what might happen if he was left alone?

Yoon-min gritted his teeth and said.

"I'll go instead."

However, Micah placed a hand on Yoon-min's shoulder and said while shaking his head.

"No, you can't run for shit. I'll go."

Yoon-min turned to look at Micah, a hesitant and worried expression on his face. But before he could say anything, Jin-woo spoke up at this moment.

"It's fine, I'll go. I was planning on leaving anyway."

Micah and Yoon-min turned to look at Jin-woo, but Jin-woo shook his head. Seeing this, Micah and Yoon-min knew he had already made up his mind.

"We'll have to draw the monsters away from the gate, everyone gather at the back and make some noise."

After addressing the class, Ye-jun looked at Jin-woo and said.

"Get ready, as soon as the gate is cleared of them make a run for it. But you have to make sure all of them are following and choose your direction from now. Avoid the gymnasium at all costs, since that's where we plan to hold up. If you make it to the main building, find out the situation outside and try to report it back to us somehow.

You can use the announcement system on the third floor to tell us in the gymnasium, but you'd have to make it there first."

After saying all of that, Ye-jun fixed his glasses and turned around to join the students at the back of the tennis court. Some of the zombies outside were already following their movements, circling the tennis court and slamming against the fence, scaring some of the students into backing away.

Yoon-min looked at Jin-woo and tears well up in his eyes as he stepped forward to hug him.

"You can't die, okay?"

Jin-woo was a bit touched that Yoon-min cared for him this much.

"Don't worry, I don't plan on dying, but you guys should be careful as well. I'll try to help you guys after I leave."

After Micah patted Jin-woo's shoulder, he and Yoon-min joined the rest of the class at the back.

Only Seo-joon was left, he was still sitting on the seat smoking his cigarette. Jin-woo looked over at him but said nothing. He instead turned to focus on the remaining zombie hoard at the gate.

Four had already circled the tennis court following the students, while another three were close to Ho-Jin and So-ha's tennis court leaving over a dozen at the gate.

Jin-woo was finally able to scrutinize these zombies closely, and he couldn't help but slightly feel this wasn't real, that it was probably just one of his nightmares or an excruciatingly long hallucination. However, the wild and aggressive snarls coming from the kids still in their uniforms, told him this was all real.

These kids who were once in class chatting with friends, who were around his age, were now all pressed up against the fence carelessly stumbling over each other as they sought to eat him alive. They were no longer humans and have incredulously become monsters only seen in horror flicks.

How did this happen?

Even if they manage to survive this school, what then?

What would the world outside look like after this zombie virus outbreak?

Are they really seeing the start of the end of the world?

'Mom… Dad.'

Jin-woo couldn't help but worry about his parents. His heart started to beat rapidly from sudden anxiety, and he closed his eyes to try and calm his emotions.

BANG!!

A loud sound echoed out causing Jin-woo to jump slightly. He quickly opened his eyes and turned to the noise to see that it was his classmates starting to draw the attention of the zombies.

"Why are you so jumpy?"

A voice came from next to Jin-woo and he turned to see it was Seo-joon.

"Aren't you the least a bit worried about this situation?"

While observing Seo-joon, Jin-woo couldn't help but note how calm he seemed.

Seo-joon took one last puff of his cigarette before flicking away the bud to the side. The bud flew towards the tennis court nearby and accurately hit So-ha who had joined the other zombies in snarling at them. Her mouth was covered in blood and Ho-jin was lying motionlessly against the fence, completely drenched in his own blood.

It had been more than four minutes since he was bitten but he hadn't yet turned for some reason.

After flicking away his finished cigarette, Seo-joon looked at the zombies at the gate and said faintly.

"The world was already fucked from the start, at least something interesting is happening before it ends."

Seo-joon reached into his top pocket for his pack of cigarettes to smoke another one, but upon looking inside it he saw that it was empty. Clicking his tongue, Seo-joon then asked.

"Freak, do me a favor."
