Volume 1 Chapter 3 (1/2)

Chapter 3: “Zombie”

Yuusuke returned to his room to gather information from the internet.

“Technically, are they still the same person that was living……?”

Even when they were infected with the zombie virus, their appearance doesn’t seem to change.

No different between ordinary humans; beautiful zombies don’t seem unusual.

That said, it is believed that this overall expands the amount of damage that happens to victims.

(TL: I believe the above 3 lines are implying that the beauty of the zombie can fool victims, or the appearance of the infected doesn’t seem to differentiate from humans meaning you could be easily fooled by the look of the infected.)

“However their atmosphere doesn’t seem like that of a corpse.”

At a funeral, looking at a corpse was motionless and lifeless but in this case, it felt like something alive.

“But…”

Questioning himself, he had his doubts.

“If they were zombies, why wasn’t I attacked?”

It was written in the news site that zombies would attack people willingly.

There were no distinctions between the young and the old, it would just attack any human nearby regardless of their s.e.x or appearance.

With the exception of animals, there were no cases where a man hadn’t been attacked by zombies.

“Well… this is the internet.” He told himself as he recalled the events with Kurose.

He has yet to be attacked by Kurose.

Thinking about that situation he then believed that there were zombies who wouldn’t attack humans.

“Ahh… All this thinking is making me hungry…”

Because he spent most of his time inside, he was running low on food.

With the convenience store being nearby, Yuusuke hasn’t gained the courage to step outside of his apartment.

He then headed to Kurose’s room to grab something.

As soon as Yuusuke opened her door, he quickly turned around. He ‘sensed’ someone behind him.

“KEK– !?”

Right behind him was a middle aged man with clothes that were torn apart and a b.l.o.o.d.y wound could be seen on his neck.

Yuusuke was unable to stand up because of the sudden surprise and quickly sank down to the floor.

However the man gave no response to Yuusuke as he continued to look down on him waiting patiently.

After a thorough inspection from the man, he then seperated himself from Yuusuke.

The sound of his heart could be heard beating as he slowly recovered from the sudden surprise. He then glanced to the direction of where the man left.

“Was he a zombie too?”

Yuusuke then stood up and proceeded to chase after the man.

The pace of which the man was moving at was quite slow, so Yuusuke was able to catch up to the man.

“Excuse me!”
