Volume 2 Chapter 10 (2/2)

There was an underground parking area that was shown in a monitor and a truck was seen near a delivery entrance. There were no zombies to be seen and looking carefully at the monitor, there was no signs of people in here. I continued on with the next room.

There was an office next door that had desks lined up like a normal office. Some computers were on and were displaying the weather forecast for the week. There was a meeting room inside that had frosted gla.s.s, but n.o.body was there.

However, the problem is… There were signs that someone lived here.

The inside had a semi-transparent garbage bag which had multiple teacups, a kettle and instant noodle containers.

There was a room in the depths of the office that looked like the boss office. A carpet could be seen inside of the room from the opened doorway which had a one way screen blocking the view of the room.

Suddenly, Yuusuke stopped his movements.

My eyes met with a boy who looked to be in elementary school.

“……”

“……”

I stared at him silently

He was dirty and roughed up, but looked docile. His hair was raven black.

The boy left me in silence, running to the back.

“Ah… Hey!”

I called out before chasing after him. He ran over to a couch with someone who slept upon it, waking them up, panicked.

It was girl who was probably in high school, being shaken awake. She stirred. She wore a beige cardigan with a white s.h.i.+rt underneath, legs hugged by black jeans. She could have been an honor student. Her long hair matched the younger boy’s, frayed and loss of l.u.s.ter.

Next to her lay a small boy of the same age as the other, sleeping peacefully and covered with a thin sheet, barely enough to be called a blanket.

The girl’s eyes fluttered open, looking at the latter. She slowly turned towards me before widening her eyes.

“………..!”

The room was suddenly filled with screams and I raised my arms. I tried to speak as friendly as possible, not to show hostility.

“H-hi! Sorry for intruding. I swear, I’m not dangerous!”

“O-oh…”

She looked at me, bewildered.

I dropped my bag on the floor.

“Did you eat yet?”
