Chapter 84 - Zombies (3) (1/2)

"AHHHHHH!"

"Let's go!" Aleen shouted and ran towards the source of the sound.

The second group had gone pretty far while searching for an exit, but with Aleen's speed, it took him less than twenty seconds to reach there.

However, when he came, the situation had already ended.

"Is everybody alright!?" Aleen asked with an alert expression while looking to the scene inside the room.

A zombie was lying dead on the ground with half of his head cut, while three members of the group were looking with grave expressions to the remaining member, a glasses-wearing man.

When the glasses-wearing man saw Aleen, his expression turned to one of relief, worry, and fear; and he showed his arm.

His arm had been bitten by the zombie, and a large chunk of flesh was missing.

"Will I die?" The man asked with an almost pleading expression.

Aleen wanted to say no, but the words couldn't leave his mouth.

In the end, he could only shake his head with a bitter expression.

"I don't know, but…"

The glasses-wearing man didn't have to hear the rest of the sentence to understand.

Immediately, tears began to flow from his eyes. At the same time, the expressions of the remaining three turned pale.

Aleen could even hear the white-collar woman mumbling "I don't want to die, I don't want to die" repeatedly.

At that moment, Aya and the other group finally came to the room.

They immediately noticed the depressing atmosphere and saw the blood flowing from the glasses-wearing man.

The college girl, who was being protected by the two bodyguards, asked seeing the situation.

"What happened?"

Aleen had to admit that her voice, like her short brown hair, was pretty nice; contrasting to her high-handed attitude. Were all the rich girls so prideful like that?

The one who answered was a tall and slender man, with a bit of stubble on his face; he signaled to the zombie on the ground.

"I'm not sure… We entered this room and everything was alright, but suddenly, this zombie appeared from nowhere and attacked. Fortunately, Charles–" The stubble guy pointed to the glasses-wearing man. "Reacted quickly and killed it with his axe, be the zombie bit him before he could kill it."

Aleen sighed to the situation. Though the man reacted quickly, his life could be considered finished now. Seeing his despairing a resigned expression, Aleen thought about something and tried to console him.

"Don't worry, you still have hope even if you are infected. When you finish the game, the administration will proportionate one healing; and I'm almost 100% sure that it can cure the virus too. You only need to survive until we reach the central tower."

The group's expression brightened when they heard it, and even glasses' face glowed hopefully, however, his expression dimmed immediately after it.

"It doesn't matter… I deserve to die after all… After all, I..."

For a moment, Aleen glimpsed an expression of regret on his face.

'So, he has a story huh...'

He simply urged the group to continue searching for an exit.

After twenty minutes, they finally got a result.

The window of a classroom on the third floor was connected to another building by a bridge-like metallic pipe.

The pipe was five meters long, and the other end was connected to the roof of a store-like building; the only problem was that the pipe was very narrow (around thirty centimeters wide), and falling from this height would mean your death; and even if you survive, the zombies below will not waste a free meal.

"Are we seriously doing it?" The man with the stubble asked with a pale face. "None of you saw terror movies before? This is practically suicide!"

"It's this, or rushing through the sea of zombies." Replied the college girl sarcastically. "You can try if you want."
